| About Our Portable Sewing Machines |
You’ll be delighted with one of these portable sewing machines.
All but the handheld sewing machine can quickly mend a damaged quilt and sew through all of the layers without trouble.
The design of a small sewing machine is just like a large machine, with the same thread path, and with care, it sews a simple straight stitch just fine!
If the thread breaks, check the tension, and make sure the presser foot is down when you are sewing, just like on a large machine. It has features that I didn't expect, such as the ability to take full size spools of thread, as well as bobbins, and they even have a bobbin winder!
If you can spend a bit more, reviewers say the SS 602 sewing machine is a better choice. This electric sewing machine sews more consistent stitches and takes away guesswork when adjusting settings. You’ll also get a sewing kit, electric scissors and a hand held sewing machine absolutely free when you order the SS 602.
These machines are made of plastic. So they are not as heavy as a full sized machine. Now you can buy a sewing machine to take with you wherever you go!

How To Make Money With Your Sewing Skills
Check out eBay or Etsy for sewn crafts! The world's biggest online marketplace is at your fingertips. Find a popular (sewn) item...blankets, shirts, hats, etc. Check carefully what items sell for.
Can you make a profit if you were to sell at that price? Make a sample and add up your costs and time. Usually people double their costs when they set a price. If you think you can make a true profit, then make it and sell it on eBay. Look on Google for popular items you can sew and sell on eBay.
Start an alterations or mending business. Most people in their lifetime pop a button off of their shirt, break a seam, etc. You could mend these items for people to make a profit!
You need to know what should be charged for basic repairs or alterations: pant hems, skirt hems, taking in a waistline, letting out a waist. How long will these projects take?
How much will you pay yourself per hour? What are your costs? (machine, phone, electricity, publicity etc.) It may require a business license in your town, so check this out first. Also look in the yellow pages to see how many alterations businesses are nearby (who is the competition?).
See if a dry cleaner is looking for an alterations person. You may be able to work there and meet new customers.
Be a seamstress. Custom sewing is a good way to work at home: weddings, formals, even drill teams and choral groups need custom sewn outfits. Send publicity fliers or brochures to those groups about your new business.
Have a nice place for people to come to when they meet you. Have a good room that is well lit and clean for them to fit the garments. You will need to know your expenses: wages, electricity, machine costs, etc.
Factor those costs into what you charge for your work. Have a contract form for your customers to sign that lists what they will pay. Before you start any project, have them pay you in cash at least half of the costs.
Decide if you or the customer will pay for the fabric (it's better if they do that). Be prepared to ask for money from your clients. Some people will try to pay you less or not pay at all.
Other people will ask for all sorts of changes and fit that you did not plan on, so be firm and have a good written contract. When you get good at this, you may find that some stores or bridal salons can use you as a consultant to alter ready-made dresses and garments.
Try home decor items - embroidered pillows & pillowcases are easy to make and look what the store bought items sell for.
