Has anyone successfully used one of those hand-held sewing machines? Someone gave me a handi-stitch and I have spent the past half hour attempting to make it stitch - no luck. Since it has thread coming in from one direction, it has no bobbin understitch, the thread keeps unraveling after I stitch a line. I'm ready to ditch the thing and go back to hand-stitching.
If you have any tips to make it work, please share!
Edit: I found this instruction booklet online, which is much more complete than the one that came in the package.
