Rowenta Powerglide 2 Iron DX1700 Review

Rowenta Powerglide 2 Iron DX1700
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Iron has worked okay for me, except for the power cord.
LESSON LEARNED. NEVER BUY AN IRON IF THE ELECTRIC CABLE IS NOT FIXED.
I don't know why I bought an iron with a moveable cord.
Thinking back now, I never saw a problem with a fixed cord.
Maybe just thought it was cool.
Like other products, engineers design something but don't think long-term.
For last couple months, this iron has been shorting out.
Moving the plug around temporarily resolved the problem.
Working less often, though.
I read on the internet about someone drilling out the difficult screw heads, and fixing the wiring.
Sorry, but I am not going to take it apart, fix it, and put it back together with tape.
IT IS GOING IN FILE 13. Ended up buying a Black and Decker like the other one I have.
Do traveling, so I need more than one iron.

Knitting Needle Case Holder Review

Knitting Needle Case Holder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While this is OK, for $10 I expected a needle case with a top flap to cover the other ends and keep them from sliding out. I could fold the top down, but then the height of the case would be too short for anything other than shorter dp needles. Also the closing ribbon/velcro is not attacheded to the case so it's easily lost; and the closing ribbon/velcro probably should be elasticized to hold everything together a bit better. Time to make my own.

(6) Assorted Large Eye Beading Needles In 4 Sizes Review

(6) Assorted Large Eye Beading Needles In 4 Sizes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Upon purchasing these needles I was unaware what they were designed to do or how they would work...When I received them it was very nice to be able to finally thread a needle in less than 3-5 minutes!!! The eye runs the length pretty much of the needle...The only complaint I have is they bend very, very easily...I ruined one in the first 2 hours of using it...So it's a huge plus to be able to thread a needle finally and even someone with poor eyesight will not have trouble with this needle...It also is very thin so if you are into seed beads they slip right over these...The downfall is ONLY that they are very weak in holding up to keeping their shape...I would honestly say they are comparible to aluminum in the way they lose formation so easily...

Cricut Machine Shoulder Bag Review

Cricut Machine Shoulder Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Even after reading the reviews I purchased this carrier for my Cricut. I have both the original Cricut and the bigger Expressions. I figured if I could not get the Expressions to fit I could at least put the smaller one in it. I unzipped the ends to "expand the bag" all the way out. I was able to put the Expression inside through the front flap, but it was a tight fit. Just so happen I glanced over at the instruction book and noticed that was an "option 2" after reading, I realized you can actually slide the machine in the bag though the end, think of a doggie carrier. It is really hidden but, on the right hand edge of the bag, inside the "seam" is a zipper. Unzip this and the right end of the bag opens up and the Expression slides in and out with out having to unzip the front flap.
Like others have already mentioned you cannot store your mats or cartidge cases but if you just need something to carry your machine in to crops this is perfect.
I am actually going to buy another one for my smaller cricut.

Janome Embroidery Machine Foot P Review

Janome Embroidery Machine Foot P
Average Reviews:

This foot allows you to see exactly what is happening. The only way to break it on the machine is to try to use your machine in a sewing mode and not in an embroidery mode. I am buying this one because my second embroidery machine was used and didn't come with one. I am tired of moving it from machine to machine.

Honey-Can-Do BRD-01295 Full-Size Ironing Board with Sturdy T-Legs Review

I replaced my heavy ironing board of 30 years because it was difficult to put up and put down - heavy and awkward which this one is not - it's light in weight and stands sturdy - not wobbly. I'm very happy with it. It doesn't creak and groan like my old one and my daughter liked the up-to-date ironing board cover - I didn't know it but my old ironing board cover screamed the 80's.

Clover Tatting Shuttle, Tortoise Review

Clover Tatting Shuttle, Tortoise
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are nice small light weight shuttles and in my opinion that makes them perfect for two shuttle tatting. When I'm using two shuttles at once, one of them is dangling off my pinkie finger. (not real comfortable with the larger metal shuttles available)I also think they are kinda pretty. The only complaint I have is that I would have prefer a hook on the end instead of the pick, but after a little bit of practice I'm able to use the pick just fine.

Though I found the included sewing instructions somewhat confusing in their terseness (there weren't many diagrams to show how things fit together), I did manage to make enough sense of them to successfully finish the pattern. The completed frock coat looks great, and it fits really well, too! This isn't a pattern I'd recommend for beginners, but if you've got a bit of sewing experience, definitely try it out!

Even tho I love it now I had trouble putting it together. So hubby had to do that for me. I didn't want the stand attached to my desk so I had him attach it to the bottom of a piece of wood. It is 1" thick, 10" long and 8" wide and it works perfectly. Very durable and sturdy and should last me a long time.
Happy sewing Ya'll!

Brother SA129 Quilting Foot Review

Brother SA129 Quilting Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found this item to be at a great price! Other places sold it for much more than Amazon. The shipping cost was also reasonable. I received the item very quickly.
I was a little disppointed because the instructions included with this item are vary vague and difficult to read. The pictures are small and not very detailed. However, I think the instructions are pre-packaged in the item so not necessarily a seller problem. I would just recommend searching for turtorial videos... I found quite a few on YouTube. This was a great help.
Be sure to practice before actually using this on a quilt. It's easy to learn!
Thanks for another great purchase!
