It might be 2022, but in-life fashion mishaps like a torn seam or ripped jeans require the non-digital magic of a sewing machine. When people hear “sewing machine” they typically think of the clunky and heavy machines that definitely wouldn’t fit in a purse. 

However, there are some great handheld sewing machines on the market that won’t break the bank. 

If you’re in a hurry, here are our top 3 quick picks for the best mortar and pestles of 2022

What makes a good sewing machine? While shoppers in general buy products for a multitude of reasons, there are a few consistent criteria that works when someone wants to choose a good sewing machine. Consider these aspects before choosing a good sewing machine. 

The following sewing machines are top-rated and match a lot of the criteria noted above. Check the full list out of the 9 best handheld sewing machines below. 

There are a lot of sewing machines out there. Which one is worth your money? Which one will last? Check out our top nine picks. 

This nifty mini sewing machine can be battery operated or plugged in the old fashioned way. The Magicfly comes with a safety needle-guard, two speeds mode, sewing sleeves, three types of sewing needles, a 42 piece sewing accessory set, an anti-slip rubber pad and an extension table. While this machine is slightly larger than some of the other handheld machines, it has more consistent favorable reviews overall. 

First off, the W-Dragon sewing machine  will cost you less than two trips to Starbucks. This model has a built-in tension control knob, a thread hole, a power switch with a safety lock, a set screw and presser foot. This sewing machine is portable, can be battery-operated and is made from environmentally friendly materials. The company says this machine works well with silks, denim, wool, leather and crafts. 

The fifth portable, handheld sewing machine on this list is currently number one in new releases for sewing machines. This sewing machine has a rotary wheel adjustment, which helps the user precisely control their stitches. There is also a fastening plate which secures the fabric during a stitching session, which adds to the products overall effectiveness. The Buyfitcase sewing machine can be battery-operated, making it a perfect device for a sew on the go. 

This cute mini sewing machine is another perfect product for the beginning sewer. This machine is handheld and portable comes with a two-speed control foot pedal and an expansion table for larger projects. The Jeteven also comes with scissors, bobbins, thread, a needle threader, measuring tape, a gift box to package it in, and more. 

The iRUNTEK sewing machine is small and has a unique design specifically for ease of use. This is another machine that can run on battery or electric power and it does come with a USB cable among other accessories. This machine also comes equipped with a thread cutter which helps the user cut excess thread after finishing a project. 

The TailorBox sells itself on its ease of use and its accompanying 105 accessories. Not only that but you do get a box to carry the actual machine and accessories in, which definitely adds to the overall convenience of the product. Another plus for the TailorBox is that it arrives already installed. 

The Amazing Creations Mini Sewing Machine is by far the smallest machine on the list so far. This kit is perfect for someone who wants to easily fit all of their sewing materials in a purse and not take up the whole bag. This is a manual machine, so a user doesn’t even have to worry about a power supply or buying batteries. 

Amazing Creations has another decently priced handheld sewing machine on this list. This machine is about five dollars more expensive than the 2 in 1 mini sewing machine. However, this machine is bigger and more durable. This machine is low noise, easily portable, and includes an adjustable needle and other accessories. The handle is ergonomically designed and easy to use one-handed for the sewer on the go. 

Topping off the list is the cute pink ZEROTONE machine, perfect as an adorable gift for any beginning sewer. This machine has a built in safety lock and comes equipped with 10 bobbins, 1 pair of scissors, 1 practice cloth, 12 safety pins, 2 types of threaders, 1 spare needle, and an extended spindle. The product is versatile and works on a variety of materials for overall customer satisfaction with a decently priced product. 

There are countless handheld sewing machines available on the market, but the search really comes down to double checking the details. Does the product have a lot of reviews for something else entirely? Is the size suitable for your needs? Do you care about the product color? 

The most important thing to check, of course, is to see if the product actually can hold a stitch. Without that one vital aspect, every other part of the product is essentially meaningless. If you can’t sew on the go what’s the point of purchasing a portable product that can’t aid you in crucial sewing tasks? A handheld sewing machine can be a true lifesaver, just make sure to check reviews, the refund policy, durability, accessories, and of course, the price for the best purchase possible.
