Fons & Porter Self Threading Needles -Sizes 4-6-8 Review

Fons and Porter Self Threading Needles -Sizes 4-6-8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's getting harder to thread needles, and recently I've had to ask my teenage daughter to help me with this simple task. So I searched Amazon for needles with large eyes and stumbled across these "self-threading needles".
They are much easier to thread than typical needles. You just push the thread down onto the needle, into a small "U" shaped opening until you feel it snap into the eye. Even this takes a little time, but at least I don't need help anymore.

i have a few sets of these, and while they are innovative, convenient and creative, they are smaller and a bit insubstantial compared with what i expected. but, they're pretty inexpensive so all is not lost.

Z Lap Frame With Clamp Review

Z Lap Frame With Clamp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This frame is so great. Easy to put together, nicely made (its hard wood and I was concerned about rough edges, but its really nicely sanded and treated), its very easy to put the item you are working on in the clamp, and it is also easy to adjust the angle to get really comfy. I am working on a large cross stitch peice roughly 2feet by 1.5 feet which I have in a 17 by 17 inch frame and this stand holds it easily. It folds down to a really manageable size and so I plan to take it with me when I go on vacation in August. I can have it on my lap and put my feet up on the recliner so my back is so much happier. Highly recommended.

Tacony Corporation Sewing With Nancy EZ?Lock Serger Machine- Review

Tacony Corporation Sewing With Nancy EZLock Serger Machine-

This is my first serger. I'm thrilled with the instructional video it came with, the easy to use manual, and the quality of this machine. Nancy recommends practicing threading daily until you're comfortable. It didn't take long! Adjusting tensions is also clearly explained. It has a number of features I couldn't get without spending much more money and comes with lots of accessories. I easily found the needles online too. I can hardly wait to try out all the stitches this machine is capable of. I'm an experienced seamstress but a novice about serging. I feel confident I'll be able to use the EZ Lock without difficulty. I'm very happy with the speed and simplicity sewing is now. I'll always have my sewing machine - but boy am I glad I finally bought a serger!

EZ Self Threading Needles (12pk) Review

EZ Self Threading Needles (12pk)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The item states it comes as a 12 pack, but I received a 6 pack. About 1/2 the needles thread easily through the "EZ Threading" top, and the other half cut/rip the thread rather than threading the needle. Also, this item was small enough to fit in a small envelope, but instead of sending it in a 42 cent envelope they sent it with a magazine and put it in a large padded envelope that cost me $4.82 rather than 42 cents for shipping. Other than that the needles work fine.

Three different sized slit eye needles for every need. The thread is stretched across a guiding slot at the top of the eye and then pulled into the eye without having to locate the tiny hole. These self-threading needles will let you continue doing small mending jobs without resorting to magnifiers to thread the needle.

I can't even get this machine to work. It doesn't stay threaded for more than one second at a time. My mother (a veteran seamstress) tells me that it's because the material I'm trying to use (cotton jersey) is too difficult for the machine to work with. As it is the only material I was planning to use, I will be returning the machine.
