Cheap Clover Bias 3/4-Inch Tape Maker, 1 EA Review




This little bias maker is super easy to use and makes a very nice binding in very little time. My only complaint is that it seems quite pricey to me.

SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine

Cheap SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine Review




I'm 21, and this is my first sewing machine (I'm used to hand-stitching)

After just a little while, I was making and finishing a sweatsuit using this machine - it works great, and like others have said, if you're having trouble with it, you probably just need to check to make sure it's set up correctly. Everytime there was a problem, it was due to my error, not machine malfuncion.

Also, the complaints about the needle being hard to thread are not really fair - any needle is somewhat difficult to thread! However you can adjust the height of the needle or use the threading device that is included.

Overall, this is a wonderful product. I may invest in one of the more expensive brands of sewing machine later on, but this one will serve me well for a long time to come.

Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set

Cheap Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set Review




I have prime shipping so this comes to my door in two days without a delivery price. The product is wonderful. The needles work fine and you get 10 in a pack of various sizes. This is an extreme convince because the price is the same or lower than you would pay if you went to a fabric store and it comes with machine bobbins. I am very happy that amazon is selling this product online now.

Singer DF151_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Medium

Cheap Singer DF151_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Medium Review




I bought this form to help in making my wedding dress. The form it's self is great. The fabric covering the form really helps make the fabric your using cling. Which is helpful in pinning. I have been having a little bit of a hard time keeping her up at my height. But I fixed that by drilling a hole in the base and putting a cotter pin in. (if your a handy person doing this will help keep her up. I also have used her to put my costume dresses (for Halloween) on to clean them. She seemed to hold up to that. My only real complaint is I would have loved for her to rotate all the way around, or be on wheels.

Singer Confidence Quilter 7469Q Sewing Machine

Cheap Singer Confidence Quilter 7469Q Sewing Machine Review




I got this machine at a great price at Joann Fabrics. What is great about it is it comes with the extended table which is shown in the pictures, the walking foot, which is pretty expensive to buy separately, the 1/4 inch foot, and other quilting accessories, as well as multiple other snap on feet.

I got home, took it out of the box, popped the DVD which comes with the machine into my computer to see how to thread the bobbin (very simple), thread the needle (can be tricky) before I did any damage to the machine! I did both just fine.

This sewing machine is very quiet compared to my Huskystar 215. I tried out some of the stitched by simply touching the up and down buttons. Everything else adjusts automatically. There is a small pull out tray under the right side that pulls out with all of the stitches listed on it which is very convenient.

I like the automatic needle threader, drop in bobbin, and needle up/down features myself. You don't realize what you don't have until you do have it, I guess!

Cheap Rowenta DX8900 Professional Iron with No Auto Shut-Off Review




I bought this iron for sewing projects and needed an iron that wouldn't burn delicate fabrics but would quickly press wrinkles from wool. This Rowenta has been exactly was I needed. It heats up quickly and and works great for pressing clothes before work or my latest sewing project. I haven't had any problems with it leaking or spitting. After a year of use, I have no complaints.
