My Handy hand held sewing machine will sew, but as soon as you move the needle from material the thread pulls completely out of the material?

These machines are notorious for breaking quickly and often. Keep your eye out for a real sewing machine at an estate sale.
Could it be that you are not securing the fabric when you cut the thread?
I no longer have one of these (there are several brands of hand held machines) but you might check out the bottom portion of this guide.

What brand is it? I had a Kenmore a while back and to stitch very slowly, manually turn it to knot the ends (like turn the fabric stitch 3, turn the fabric, stitch 3, then turn the fabric and stitch and repeat at the end and then go from there. They are wonky little things. I finally gave it away. It was sad, because it was great for small, portable projects and little repairs. There are lots of videos with troubleshooting on YouTube, but you need to put the brand name in. Blessings and best wishes!
