Product Description:
4 X-Large Spools of White Bobbin Thread. These are 60wt 2ply Filament Bobbin Thread. Each spool has 5000 meters of thread on it. This will last you a long long time and you do not need to worry about running out of Bobbin thread while Embroidering. Each spool is brand new and is individually shrink wrapped to prevent damage from dust. Polyester has little or no lint. Hence your machine will run longer between cleanings. This thread is very shiny appearance, thin, lightweight and yet extremely strong. Embroiders love this since it creates a soft backing, even on dense designs. Many machine quilters like using a filament poly thread in the bobbin. Due to it's slick surface, it works well with metallic threads and heavy cotton threads. The slickness of the filament poly thread does not snag or grab the top thread. NOTE: The colored Embroidery Threads are shown only to give you an idea about the size of the spools and are not included.

Singer CE-200 Singer Quantum Futura with Digitizing Review

Singer CE-200 Singer Quantum Futura with DigitizingThis is a fairly nice embroidery machine for the price.It does have a few things I don't like but overall I am glad that I purchased it.The embroidery designs sew out beautifully!And getting a machine that you can hook directly to your pc is definately the way to go! It elimanates pricy design disks and cards.You can find lots of great desings on the web to purchase and download to use on this machine plus it accepts many formats.What I don't like about the embroidery aspect is the fact that the large hoop is not a true 5X7.So I have to resize a lot of my designs to fit the hoop.I really wish they offered a larger hoop as an extra accessory!The digitizing software that comes with the 200 is not that spectacular.You can take simple clipart pictures and turn them into embroidery but nothing too complex and the software dosen't allow you to make appliques.I think you can get better digitizing software elsewhere.It also only comes with 2 fonts: courier and block.You can purchase a disk with extra fonts but the disks for this machine are expensive! I think they run around $200.The sewing part of this machine I rarely use mostly because I have a Euro Pro sewing machine that I sew on and comparing the 2 I am all for the Euro Pro hands down.This machine seams to sew a little "rough" in comparison.Overall I think this is a Great starter embroidery machine at a good price.

Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer Review

Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment SteamerI received an IS 8100 steamer as a gift.Now, nine months later, the steam head has come apart.It just fell apart.It appears that daily use (four or five days a week) may have been too much for this "commercial" product.I'm trying to obtain a replacement part from Rowenta now.I'll update my review once I get a final answer from their customer service department.

When the product is working, it works pretty well.I use it on wool suits, and it removes wrinkles quickly.However, without the steam head, this is useless for me.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer

Product Description:
While a steam iron eliminates fabric wrinkles and creases with great efficacy, the impact of a heavy soleplate will not do for some delicate and vintage pieces. For such ironing conundrums, Rowenta offers this professional upright steamer. The 1500-watt steamer gently smoothes wrinkles away without the stiffness left by a conventional iron's soleplate.
The detachable 1-gallon water tank reaches its steaming temperature in approximately 90 seconds. With a full tank, the appliance produces steam for 2-1/2 hours. The user applies pressure to the foot pedal to engage and control steam output. An indicator light on the pedal informs its readiness for use. Steam travels through a 5-foot insulated hose, which removes for stowing. Though the user can monitor water levels through the tank's transparent construction, the steamer arrests power when the tank becomes dry to prevent damage to the appliance or power waste. The steamer also turns off automatically if left idle for prolonged periods of time for extra security. An aluminum hanger pole snaps onto the steamer body, extending the steamer to 5 feet high. The hanger supports clothes as they are steamed and swivels for quick garment steaming, front to back. In addition to the extra wide steaming head, Rowenta includes both fabric and upholstery attachments, as well as a lint brush for enhanced care. The power cord spans 9 feet and stores around a provided bar. The steamer travels on four wheels with casters and a carrying handle. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. This item benefits from a one-year limited warranty. Without the hanger pole attached, the steamer measures 19-2/3 by 15-4/5 by 13 inches and weighs 18 pounds upon shipping.

Prym Sewing Basket in Multi-Color Stripes Review

Prym Sewing Basket in Multi-Color StripesI bought this particular Prym sewing basket because its listed dimensions (15x10x8 inches) was larger than the others. In reality it was hardly 14X9X7 on the outside. The inside tray was 2 inches deep and sturdy, but that left at most 11.25x7.25x5 inches of space under it for all my other sewing supplies, not nearly enough space. Also, the inside lining that was glued on was already letting go.How disappointing!!Now I'm stuck with this basket (costing $18 plus $8 shipping), not wanting to spend another $8 to ship it back.

Machine Oil By The Each Review

Machine Oil By The EachI used this on my shredders which were badly in need of some oil. Now, they definitely work better & do a finer job-there are virtually no clogs to clean out & the scraps of paper are smaller & compact better.

Alaska is extremely dry-so I'll be using this little bottle on every squeaky thing!This goes way beyond sewing machines!

This little bottle has a terrific long necked applicator. It seals & stores well without any meds. (If you've ever had a bottle of oil spill out in your desk drawers-you'll appreciate that aspect!

Euro-Pro 100-546 Serger Review

Euro-Pro 100-546 SergerFor one reason. Horrible customer service. I sewed over my needle the first week and dented the blades. The number from HSN shot me to India where they gave me another number that was always busy. Finally I got thier number in Canada. After being on hold for an HOUR, I ordered two sets of blades for $75. They were the wrong blades. I called again, wrong blades came, again. And this time they only sent me one set. HSN is getting this machine back and Euro Pro will not get any more of my money.

AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter Review

AccuQuilt GO Fabric CutterI bought myself an Accuquilt GO! cutter a couple of months ago.I had very high hopes for this product, and the short of it is, it has lived up to all those hopes.

The longer of it: I wanted to GO! for two reasons.First, I have carpal tunnel syndrome and using a rotary cutter is extremely painful for me.A few minutes of rotary cutting can result in several days of sore wrists and numb hands.Second, my cuts are never as accurate as I would like.I hoped the GO! would help in both areas.

I have not been disappointed.The crank handle on the cutter is large enough to comfortably hold on to, and easy to turn.It gets harder as you add more layers.I've put up to 8 layers through the cutter.4 layers is probably best, 6 can be a chore to crank.At 8 layers I could barely force it through.With 8 layers, there were also some small places where the die did not cut completely through the top layer of fabric.I would probably not do that many layers again.But, even after manhandling the cutter this way, my wrists never cause me any discomfort after using the GO!

The accuracy has been very good.I recently finished the quilt top for a baby quilt for a soon-to-be-nephew, and the difference between this top and one that I hand-cut is noticeable.I did not have to square up the individual patches or the finished top.Best of all, the cutting was done in less than thirty minutes and I was on to piecing.The included value die has an assortment of sizes; I have been running all of my scrap fabric through on that die.Scrap fabric I would have considered too small to save before; now with one pass through here becomes usable pieces.In that respect, it has helped me be much more efficient, and MUCH less fabric gets tossed.

The cutter folds up for storage, so it doesn't take up valuable space in my sewing area.It comes in a heavy drawstring bag, so I can fold it and slide it in the bag and know that it won't get damaged.Last time I used the cutter, my usual table was occupied with another project, so I opened the cutter up on my ironing board, ran my fabric through, and put it away.Under five minutes and I had the binding strips cut and the GO! put away again.

For me, it's a win.

Reliable Steamboy T1 Steam Floor Mop Review

Reliable Steamboy T1 Steam Floor MopHalleluia!When my Bissell Steam Mop finally 'died' and I found out they didn't make them anymore I was devastated.The only place I found to buy them was ebay at a whopping $250!Anyway, I searched online for other models and read all their reviews.None of the reviews for other products sounded any where near the quality and hard work of my old Bissell.I saw this model (The Steamboy) and it looked similar to the Bissell, however - nobody had written a review, so I was a little skeptical.

I'm here to tell ya - this product is as good or, dare I say, even better - than the Bissell for several reasons:1.it is lighter weight (but not flimsy) so my arms don't get tired 2.the head pivots easier and it is triangular in shape so it gets into the nasty corners under my kitchen counters and behind my toilets even better 3.the pads are easier to put on than the Bissell and the draw string to tighten them on is longer and therefore easier to work with and lastly 4. it has a carry handle and doesn't fall over when standing upright as my old Bissell did.Cons are 1. you have to make sure that the tank is all the way in or it is a little drippy 2.the cord could be longer, but I can't remember the Bissell's being any longer than this one.

So, if you want to replace your Bissell or give one as a gift this is definately an affordable option.If you've never used a steam mop, you will be amazed - and disgusted - by how clean your floors get and realize how dirty they REALLY were all those years when you used the ol' mop and bucket.This is faster too and requires no chemicals to clean!

Simplicity Bias Tape Machine Tip - 2-1/2' Cut Strip For Quilt BindingI really like my Siplicity Bias Tape Machine, but the 2 1/2 " quilt binding tip is a waste of money.I had expected that it was going to make 2 1/2 " bias tape for quilt borders, but it does not.All it does is to take a 2 1/2 " strip, and fold it in half.It is difficult to load the fabric into the tip, so just folding the strip in half and using a standard iron would be way easier.Do not waste your money on this tip.If you are thinking about buying a Bias Tape Machine with the idea of using it for 2 1/2 " borders, you will be disappointed.

40 Large Spools Embroidery Threads for Brother Machine - 500 Meters Spools Review

40 Large Spools Embroidery Threads for Brother Machine - 500 Meters SpoolsThe thread ad was a little deceptive.They advertised as thread for Brother machines, which it isn't exactly.They never would give me a definite yes or no on the thread being made for Brother by Brother. I specifically asked them that and they said they had not had any negative responses from Brother owners. That wasn't what the ad stated. It stated thread for Brother machines. The best I could find out was, that it was made in India, but they wouldn't specifically say it was made by Brother for Brother machines.When I received it, at first I was a little disappointed, then I e-mailed them and they told me to give a few spools a try and if I wasn't completely satisfied with it, I could return it and they would refund my money.I thought that was reasonable and gave it a try and it stitched out beautifully. So I thanked them and kept the thread. The only problem was breakage, it seems a little weak, but using a large eyed embroidery needle took care of that.They told me to adjust my tensions on my machine, but I didn't need to touch the tensions by using the larger eyed embroidery needle. Overall, it's basically good thread, beautiful colors and shine to it.

Ruffler Foot Review

Ruffler FootPut on the correct machine, it worked very well. In fact I have sewn about 7 "market skirts" - dirctions for doing so for a little girlwas on the internet as a free-bie , and another site told you how to make it fit an adult.Both little and big turned out well.
The ruffler saves a lot of time, and the gathering is uniform. When working with slick polyester, I had to put interfacing on the edges I was ruffling, but, by golly, I had to do so with straight sewing also.
Bottom line: if you need one, call the dealer and make sure it will fit your machine. I bought two through Amazon. One, the generic, cost $15 and postage paid; the other was $32.95 to fit a Janome. It was also postage paid. The generic fit both Brother and Janome, and the Janome fit only the Janome.

Brother SA444 7 inch-by-5 inch Large Hoop 7 inch by 5 inchBrother Embroidery Hoop 5x7 / B0028TT64M

This hoop comes included with the Brother PE700II Embroidery Machine with USB Port and while it is a little *too* big for most projects, it is absolutely essential for larger patterns. Even smaller patterns will work with this large hoop, though - even if the material isn't 5x7, adhesive stabilizer can be used to hold the smaller piece of material in place. This hoop works perfectly with the PE700II - simply unscrew the clasp to loosen the hoop, set your fabric and stabilizer face-up on top of the hoop, drop the inner hoop into place, and screw to tighten.

The 5x7 is the perfect size for large patterns (like night sky scapes or large, scrolling quilt patterns) in large areas like jacket backs or quilt tops. The larger size uses more stabilizer, of course, but if you use reusable stabilizer like tear-away stabilizer, you can usually get multiple uses out of the same cut. Still, unless you're *only* planning to embroidery large items like shirts and sheets, I definitely recommend investing in a set of smaller hoops to complement this hoop.

Two items to note: First, this 5x7 is the large hoop attachment for the PE700II machine and is represented as such on the LCD display when viewing patterns. When the large hoop on the LCD display is grayed out, that indicates that the pattern is too large to use with this hoop (see the product image I've posted). If you can afford only one hoop, though, I recommend considering the medium 4x4 hoop (Brother SA443 Medium Embroidery Hoop 100mm x 100mm), because many patterns will fall inside the 4x4 measurements. However, if you can afford both hoops, you'll definitely get a great deal of use out of them.

Which brings me to my second note: The prices for these hoop attachments seem to vary widely and that I was able to procure a hoop set for *much* cheaper than shown here as part of a set that included one of each of the four major hoop sizes for my machine. So I would recommend researching around to find the best deal, price-wise. Of course, if you're using the PE700II, the 5x7 hoop already comes with it and the only reason you might need to buy this one is if you wanted to streamline a big embroidery project.

Buttoneer Fastening System Refill Pack -100 Package Review

Buttoneer Fastening System Refill Pack -100 PackageIt sometimes works.There are two problems with it.The plastic fasteners are much flimsier than the ones used to attach tags in stores. The refills seem to be worse than the included staples.The second problem is the use of "original" in the product name.I had one of the originals and the quality was much better.The staples were sturdier and it was able to do all kinds of buttons.This one does not work on buttons with a metal loop instead of eye holes, nor on anything but the thinnest fabric.It is not so handy for quick repair, as I used 4 staples to get one button on. It should have minus stars.

Bluefig Haley Serger Machine Case on Wheels Review

Bluefig Haley Serger Machine Case on WheelsI have been looking at every JoAnne fabrics for a Serger Machine Case and haven't had any luck. Went on Amazon and was very pleased to see exactly what I was looking for and a fantastic price too! Not only is it functional since it is on wheels and can be easily transported, but it is very attractive with the tapestry fabric. Now I can take my machine to classes without the worry of any damage.

Delivery was prompt, no delivery charge and like I said, it was exactly what I wanted. What fun to let your fingers do the walking and finding bargains like this one!

I would highly recommend this carrier for mid size sergers.

Singer Button Magic-5 Inch X2 Inch Review

Singer Button Magic-5 Inch X2 InchThe Button Magic just does not do as good a job as a needle and thread do. The plastic fasteners break and the buttons are very loose--one good yank (or an accidental catch on something) and the button comes out, often breaking the plastic "T" ends. Plus, the "T"s need to be pushed through the button holes, often requiring small pliers which can mangle/flatten the "T" tips. Better to just learn how to sew a button on, I say (type)!

Reliable 7000C/1 Uber Light 110-Volt Halogen Sewing Light with C-Clamp Review

Reliable 7000C/1 Uber Light 110-Volt Halogen Sewing Light with C-ClampThis uber light is a fine product at a fine price, but it comes with a 12w bulb which will frustrate most users because it is too dim to read by. You can buy a replacement bulb at 20w for $12-14. You cannot, however, use the available 50w bulb. I suggest petitioning Reliable to create a 50w lamp.
