This site is extremely misleading. They hawk free add-ons, do not prominently diplay the associated exorbitant S&H charges, and do not reveal the total charges until after the transaction is complete. S&H ended up BEING OVER 50% OF MY ORDER!!!! When I called their "customer Service" I was told that the system will not have my order for 24-48 hours and there was nothing they could do. Sketchy and scammy at best. No resolution to date. DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER WITH THEM!

Twist Pins-25/Pkg Review

Designed for a specific function, that of securing a bed skirt to the box spring or foundation before installing the mattress. Not something I buy regularly; I think the last time I needed Twist Pins was 3 decades ago. But I was pleased to locate these "pins" through Amazon for a newly purchased bedroom set and bed skirt. These appear to be much more substantial than the ones I had those many years ago. I would gladly recommend this product and the source to anyone needing Twist Pins.

I posted this review of the hemming tape, but the product seems to have changed to pins at some point...
Original content based on the no sew hemming tape:
Maybe it's just such a well known fact they didn't think it needs to be in the product description, but you can't wash the garment with the tape still on. IMHO you're better off breaking out the iron and using Dritz(R) Stitch Witchery Regular Tape - 5/8 Inch x20yd. If you need a quick fix & have no time to spare, this tape may come in handy, though. It does remove cleanly. I hemmed my one year old's pants for picture day and they did not come down although he only wore them for 2 hours at most.

I'm a speed knitter. I thought this may help make me even faster, especially when I am using a piece of yarn from the beginning and end of a skein at the same time.
The plastic tube on my finger feels pretty weird. So far it seems nice but I have not been able to adjust to even really use it.

Janome Needle Unit w/Presser Foot for Felting Review

Janome Needle Unit w/Presser Foot for Felting
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own and enjoy the Singer ER-10 Embellisher Singer Felting and Embellishing Machine.
After a little research I learned that the needles for the Janome FM725 and some other attachments would fit the Singer. Let's face it, needles for either machine are REALLY expensive at just under $4 each.
Needles will wear down and will need replacing. You can order 10 needles at $39 or you can order this kit with an extra needle unit (with 5 needles loaded and ready to insert in the ER-10) and it comes with 5 extra needles... for $39.
Hmm... well, I can't imagine that anything would happen to the original ER-10 Needle holder but hey, it's virtually free.
Unfortunately, the presser foot does NOT fit the ER-10 but it really didn't cost me anything.
Enjoy!

I bought this triangle to make a kaleidoscope pattern pillow and have since made an entire queen sized quilt because using this triangle makes it so easy. At first when you look at the triangle there are so many markings on it that it seems that it will be so complicated but the instructions are VERY easy to understand and make it so easy to make a perfect kaleidoscope quilt square of just about any size.
I would recommend this product to anyone who quilts!

I was disappointed to discover that the points of my regular pencils sharpened with a regular electric sharpener completely stick out of the end holes of these gadgets. They will work, however with the shorter points created by using the little hand-sharpener (which artists often do), or if your pencil is a bit thicker. Not the best design.

I received the software free, thank goodness, when I purchased the Singer Futura 250 package else where. I tried everything except throwing it in the oven. It looks great, fantastic in the cpu, but when you have it stitched through the cpu, it's the most horrible thing a machine has ever done. Any way you look at it, up, upside down, side ways,there is no photo. Sorry singer, someone dropped a cannon on this one. Trust me, do not throw your money away on this.

American Lighting LXC1H-BS 8-Inch Hardwire Xenon Under Cabinet Light, 20 Watt, High/Low Switch, 120 Volt, Brushed Steel Review

American Lighting LXC1H-BS 8-Inch Hardwire Xenon Under Cabinet Light, 20 Watt, High/Low Switch, 120 Volt, Brushed Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This light has a great price point, can be direct wired to a dimmer, and has a nice satin nickel finish. Two installation/design challenges:
1. the punch outs along the back edge for the wiring grommet conflict with the way the cover folds back into place. You may need to turn the retaining ring on the grommet to get the door to close.
2. The rocker switch that comes installed in the unit is plastic and is only held in place by little plastic friction tabs. The wiring can force the switch to pop out so keep the wiring connections at the other end of the box.
If you are installing new wiring as the kitchen is being build, be sure to leave at least 24" from the face of the wall to get to the light and into the wiring box. Also, there are small black o-ring washers for the screws of the wiring box cover which are easily overlooked.

Viking Clear Open Toe Satin Stitch Foot. Ideal for precision embroidery, appliqué, cutwork and monogramming. Nothing stands in the way of your creative vision. The cutout on the underside of the foot accommodates satin stitching and the open front ensures greater visibility while sewing. The bottom of the foot has a wedge shaped indentation, which allows even satin stitching to glide under the foot without dragging. The angle in the indentation makes it possible to turn curves easily. The toes of the foot are shorter, compared to a regular zigzag foot, for greater maneuverability while sewing (you can turn the fabric more easily for smoother stitching lines, an important asset when embellishing fabric).

Normande Lighting 22W Daylight Spectrum Floor Lamp w/ Magnifier 5". 60" in Height with White Painted Finish Review

Normande Lighting 22W Daylight Spectrum Floor Lamp w/ Magnifier 5. 60 in Height with White Painted Finish
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I cross stitch large patterns, usually on 18 count aida, which causes a lot of strain for my eyes, especially when doing little confetti stitches within a larger stitched area. I'd previously had a cheap dazor-knockoff from ebay that I'd been very unhappy with as it constantly tipped over and used a regular lightbulb which created quite a bit of heat. More than once, I'd burned myself by brushing up against the bare bulb.
When I saw this one advertised, I took a chance and purchased, and the gamble paid off. First, the daylight spectrum light illuminates every nook and cranny. It uses low wattage and comes encased with a plastic shield that prevents contact with the bulb. This feature does complicate bulb replacement as you have to unscrew the shield in order to swap out bulbs, but it's an easy sacrifice to make in exchange for protection for and from the bare light.
The foot of the pedestal comes with five heavy extensions/feet...each weighs approximately 3-4 pounds, and it creates a substantial base that never once teetered as I adjusted and pulled on the arm to swivel it into position. Assembly seemed complicated when I first pulled it out of the box, but it's actually pretty simple. There's a plate on the bottom that you unscrew, you fit the little feet into the base, put the plate back on, screw it tight, insert the pole into the assembled pedestal (I had to whack mine against the floor a couple of times to get it fully inserted), and place the lighting fixture into the pole. The kit comes with a little wrench and bolt tightener...no additional tools required. Another plus, imo.
The lens is made of heavy glass and has good magnification. Each joint has adjustable resistence, even a little knob that controls that swivel of the lens head (something my other light did not have).
All of these points make for a good sale, but when you add in the price it makes for an excellent bargain. I paid only 20 dollars less than the price of this light for my cheap fixture that soon found its way into the Goodwill donation bin (even money if you counted my shipping fees versus Amazon's free shipping), and the Dazor lights I was looking at were three times the price. So to find one that is comparable in quality yet so affordable was a blessing.

F.A. Edmunds Adjustable Craft Floor Stand Review

F.A. Edmunds Adjustable Craft Floor Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fairly easy to assmble. One of the pieces was not drawn correctly in the instructions so that took some time to figure out how to put it together. Light to move around. The only bad point is that the height is fixed and depending on the chair I'm using at the moment, I might need the frame to be higher. You can modify the arch of the structure to fix this, but it messes up with the balance so you have to hold it down with your feet.
But over all it is a good pruchase. It really helped me to speed up my needlepointing and it takes less time to set up or to stop.

This turned out very well. I am an average seamstress. This is not hard at all, just the first time you must adjust the pattern to your measurements. The instructions for this are clear and simple, just use a little common sense too and think through the adjusting of the pattern. I only had to tweak it a little. I made both the regular mermaid and the fishtail. I like the regular mermaid the best and it was the easiest. Both look very pretty and professional, just like the ones online at triple the cost. I get many compliments each time I wear them for performances at haflas and shows.

The Marvelous Mermaid and Fabulous Fishtail Skirt Pattern. This pattern includes directions for fully customizing it to a variety of sizes from 2 to 22 and beyond. The Mermaid Skirt is one of the hottest looks in belly dance attire today. Variations on the slim fitting yet flared skirt, are being used by costume designers from Egypt to San Francisco, Britain to Australia , for their most innovative designs. Madame X's pattern offers to stylish variants of this style for the do-it-yourself costumer to make at home. This pattern is very easy to construct, with only a few key pieces, so even the novice sewer can produce exceptional results. The Marvelous Mermaid skirt fits tightly through the hips and thighs, flaring at the knee to create fullness at the ankle that swirls during spins. It's the perfect combination of grace and flow at the hem, sexy slink through the thighs, with added modesty, because during quick turns, this skirt doesn't fly sky high. The Fabulous Fishtail skirt has a full train at the back that adds more fullness through the leg and dramatically increases the hem, creating more interest in the back. The back panel can be made in coordinating fabrics for added drama, or made longer for a quazi-Victorian bustle effect. This is a really dramatic skirt style! This pattern includes directions for fully customizing it to a variety of sizes from 2 to 22 and beyond. It is professionally printed on tissue paper. The top of the skirt is finished with a self-casing. Pattern is sized with stretch fabrics in mind, so look for knit fabrics, and for the ultimate in slink, try one with a 4-way stretch.
