Does anyone happen to know of any links or personally have any videos of how to hem dresses shorts, etc, with the Mini Portable Handy Stitch Sewer. If there's a step by step video for beginners, that would be AMAZING.

This is a handy machine to have for small emergency projects but for what you are talking about is not what this gadget was made for.
Of course, projects like this can be done but they will not be easy and most likely will look like an 8 year old did the job as even in the demonstration you can see the wavy stitch line.
I've been down this path with a friend (she is petite and has to hem nearly everything she buys) and I can truthfully say, she sometimes almost reached the 'throw it in the garbage point'.
Following this experiment, my friend knew she had to have something different for her projects and did not need/want a regular sewing machine, she found this one online and recently told me she absolutely loves it. She says it even has a foot pedal which is a handy thing to have when hemming.
I'm not recommending this machine - just showing what someone likes:

There are a lot of these slightly larger, but still very portable, machines around so maybe someone might prefer a slightly better machine for larger projects.

Sewing a hem can be done , but with guided work . Here is a video of what was available on this machine. www.youtube.com/
I have found a really good video that has 4 parts for this machine. The 4th part will tell you how to put your fabric in the handy stitch and how you work from left to right - explained like reading a book. there are some special ways to get the material under the pressure food and this person is very clear and easy to follow.
Hi,
This little hand-held portable sewer is so cute! Here is a YouTube video I found:
Have fun!
