Therapeutic Craft Gloves Review

I only gave this product one star because the review wasn't accepted without one. Incredibly poor construction. I'm not much of a seamstress but I would never let anyone see this. The seams don't line up. The hand fabric is flimsy. The finger holes are cut off with no finishing. Besides the thumb hole, there are only three finger holes. The two middle fingers fit through the same opening. The fabric stretch is enough to reduce circulation but there is no support here to relieve arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome or anything else it advertises. I just threw it away. Instead I'm using a Creative Comfort glove by Dritz that I bought at the local fabric shop. By the way, I did not purchase this for sewing or crafts but for wrist fatigue and to avoid carpal tunnel from extended computer use.

Oliso TG-1100 Smart Iron Review

I bought this iron for my grandmother who is a seamstress. She absolutely loves it and tells all of her friends about it, too. It not only has great steam, but it has a nice pointed tip area for making nice seams and of course it lifts itself up so you don't have to worry about burning clothes or yourself. Best of all, my grandmother doesn't have to lift the iron any more since it stays horizontal... she has arthritis and it makes it difficult to iron when she has to keep lifting it. For that alone it's a great value. You should also watch this iron in action on the company's website--it's pretty amazing.

A steam iron that levitates? And does push-ups? Absolutely! From the company that believes in making the mundane fun--as well as state-of-the-art--comes the Smart Iron steam/dry iron series. Featuring patented iTouch auto-lift technology, every iron is equipped with digital sensors that recognize the touch of your hand and lower the iron to the fabric, then lift it when you let go. That means a couple of things: no more repetitive lifting to an upright position, no more accidental burns, and no more fear of tipping. Starting to see the �smart� part? The iron also has an award-winning automatic shut-off feature that's timed for different events: 30 seconds if knocked over, 3 minutes if left horizontal with iTouch over-ridden, and 8 minutes if left idle in the lifted position.
Additional features include easy-to-use selector controls, deep penetrating heat for one-pass pressing, and vertical, horizontal, and continuous steaming options with an anti-drip system. Ready to tackle even the most challenging jobs, the iron is shaped with a pointed tip for narrow spots, roomy 1-1/2-inch detailers to snuggle up to buttons and pockets, and a rolled edge on the soleplate for smooth sailing across any fabric. This TG-1100 model has an ultra-premium stainless-steel soleplate with a durable, scratch-resistant beadblast chromium finish; 1800 watts of power; and an 10.8-foot cord with 360 degree pivoting. The extra-large 12.7-ounce side-load tank has a built-in funnel and gladly accepts tap water. One-year warranty.
