Flexible LED Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never written a product review before buying this light (from a Quilt Shop), but I just have to say that this is a waste of both money & the time you're going to spend trying to get it to work! I wish I had opted for the more expensive "bright light". IF you can get the battery cover off without breaking a nail (I had to pry it off with another tool), and IF you can get the batteries to stay in place (they flop around inside the casing!), and IF the tiny little "on" dot actually works, then you might like this light. The concept is good, but the product itself is cheap, cheap, cheap and does NOT work. It is advertized as "freestanding on work surface". MAYBE if you put a weight on top of the base to hold it down, this would work. In short, save your cash!

ArtBin Super Satchel/Slim Divider - Translucent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a bit disappointed when they first arrived. I bought 2 of these, but when I put them together I found some of the small dividing partitions missing--- 8 from one and 10 from the other (by the way, putting it together is simply pushing the partitions into place...the shelves, lid, everything else is one piece). I contacted the dealer by phone and was told there were no more available at this time and I was offered a refund. I chose to keep them. I thought (if need be)I could use pieces of cardboard. It turned out I didn't need them anyway!
As a storage case it's great! I kept some "dividers" out to make larger chambers for things like fabric markers, seam strippers, needles with threader, etc.. Others are small chambers for spools of threads. Still others for spools plus loaded bobbins. It snaps open and shut with two clasps and seem to be very strong. We have a new cat..... I'm sure countless messes have been avoided. The contents are secure yet easy to identify through the "fairly-transparent" walls. I like the fact that I move it all at one time, like a very small book case/tool box (I can't think of a good comparison). Anyway, if I'm going to use the sewing machine I can bring everything out in a couple of minutes---put it all away just as quickly.
For the price versus the convenance I would highly recommend this to others. And while I was disappointed with the missing parts, I was pleased with the quick response from the dealer (ScrapbookingAlley) in attempting to solve the problem. That's why I decided thar 5 stars was appropriate.

Simplicity Rotary Cutting Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to try this item even after reading the 2 one star reviews I found here at JoAnn's Amazon storefront. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the cutter works as it is designed to. FIRST - READ THE DIRECTIONS - If you are cutting fabric you will need to adjust the tension screw, and for two layers of fabric it has to be all the way to the left. The cutter does however cut high quality quilting fabric quite well. Using this machine does take some practice so start with scrap fabric until you really get the hang of it. You do have to pay attention, and guide the material through straight. If you quilt you know you need to have accurate cuts so practice till you are really sure of yourself before cutting into your expensive goods. I can't say that using a hand held rotary cutter is really that much more difficult for me, but if you have any issues and I know folks who do, arthritis or trouble holding a rotary cutter this is something to look into. If you cut lots of strips it could be great, it is fully adjustable from 1/8" to 2 3/4" strips, straight or pinked edge. I have to say I am more sure of my old hand held but this is really great for pinking those fabric edges before pre-washing fabric and I am sure as I get more proficient with the machine I will use it more and more.

Bias Tip- 3/8 Inch Single Fold for Simplicity Bias Tape Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Too many problems with this machine and the various tips. First, the instructions that come with the machine are horrible. The instructions with the machine for the 1" tip tell you to cut your strip 1-7/8" yet the Simplicity YouTube video states you cut your strip 2" and also says you have to spray starch all the bias seams so that they will feed properly. Gee, like I really want to have to starch every seam in my bias tape?
As another reviewer stated, the tips are too far away from the iron and unfold before getting to the iron. I agree! I haven't tried to hold the tip up closer to the iron, so perhaps that will work, that is assuming you have starched all the seams so they will feed properly.
I got a "deal" on a set of the extra tips, but am really disappointed. ZERO instructions came with these. Have spent way too much time cutting bias tape at "guessed" widths for the tips as they come with NO suggested widths to cut the bias tape. Doubling the size of the tip would make sense, but ONLY if you intuited that from having gone searching for the Simplicity video that says to cut your strip 2" for the 1" tip! The instructions coming WITH the machine and 1" tip say to cut your strip 1-7/8". UGH!
I also found the strips getting hung up at the end of the iron under the cover if the least little bit of a seam hung out or an edge was slightly irregular.
Next, you have 5" to 6" of bias tape that isn't ironed since that's the amount you have to first pull through before attaching the iron cover and turning on the machine - that is IF you follow the machine instructions (written or Simplcity's YouTube video). Several other video reviewers have the machine turned on before they attach the tip....a really good way to get burned in my opinion.
In all, I can't say I can find a reason to use this machine. I'm sticking to my bias bars Dritz Quilting Bias Press Bars Set Of Five, and the Clover fusible bias tape makers: Clover Fusible Bias 1/4-Inch Tape Maker, 1 EA

120 Spool Wood Thread Rack - By Threadart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although cheaply made, this rack does serve the intended purpose. I holds the 1000yd spools with no problem. Yet, if you use the 5k spools, you'll lose capacity by more than half. It is made for the 1k spools. Several of the rods were loose, but glue took care of that, not a big deal. It's designed to sit on a counter or shelf, but, it would have to be a wide one. It states in the description it can be hung on the wall, but, you'll have to rig it yourself. There are no instructions or hardware for wall hanging this item. There are other racks for thread on amazon, this was the cheapest overall when I oredered it. The others appear the same, just higher priced and higher shipping. So far so good on this item. I gave it 4 stars because it is a good deal, and does what I want it too. I could make one, but I don't have the time. I will be buying a few more,,,, This race is for the thread spools for a commercial embroidery machine.

Clover Double Tracing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I failed to notice that this item is METRIC ONLY! But I should have paid more attention.
Very handy device for adding seam allowances to patterns that lack them, such as Ottobre or Japanese sewing patterns.
Giving it 4 stars rather than 5 because I wish the indents were deeper and sharper (and thus more visible), maybe it could come with 1 rounded-point wheel for following the pattern edge and 1 sharp-point wheel for marking the stitching line. I don't use it as much as I thought I would because of that.
Can also be used as a regular wheel for marking stitching lines as both wheels are removable.

Use the double tracing wheel to draw two parallel lines at the same time. Width between the two lines can be changed in increments of 5mm from 10mm and up to 30mm. Convenient for tracing both cutting and sewing lines at the same time.

Collins Sewers Aid- Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quilting with metallic thread is like getting teenager to smile but when it happens, its beautiful. Sewers aid is a part of my sewing room and it helps reduce friction when stitching with metallics and other speciality threads. I drip a bead all the way down the side of the spool.
Great stuff!

Clover Chibi with Darning Needles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a must-have set of darning needles for anyone who is just starting to knit or crochet, and a great addition to the established knitter or crocheter's arsenal of tools (like Clover Knit Mate Knitting Accessories Set ).
Makes a great stocking stuffer!
The case comes with three different sized straight steel darning needles, one that can double as a yarn needle to weave in your loose ends or for the kitchener stitch. The screw-on lid has a little tab with a hole that you can attach a jump ring to (I'd recommend a small gauge split ring, like a small key chain) which would allow you to attach it to a Chums Carabiner Keychain to clip onto your knitting bag with your Clover Thread Cutter Pendant, Antique Silver or other tools like a Clover Yarn Threader, or hang it on a chain around your neck to make it easy to find. The chubby case is easy to locate in the bottom of your knitting bag (My favorite is the Bagsmith Black Project Bag Knitting Craft Collapsible Storage Stand) and the screw-on lid keeps those needles where they belong, away from delicate fingers when you go digging around in your notions bag looking for something!
Additionally, the case is roomy enough to add more needles to and could even hold some small stitch markers and a safety pin if you need to travel light with your project.

Singer Inspiration 4210 Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an update to my previous review (see below the **** for the original review).
The replacement 4210 sent to me directly from Singer is a VAST improvement over the 4210 I bought in Spring 2007. It's very obvious that the model has had improvements over the past two years of continued manufacture. I've put the new 4210 through its paces and am well pleased with it! What a relief!
****Original review:
I've been sewing for 30 years on an old model Singer, and am an experienced seamstress. I bought this for the features my vintage Singer doesn't have, such as zig-zag stitches, stitching for stretch knits, and buttonhole stitching.
I've had problems from the start with the 4210. The "birdnesting" problem with the bobbin if the machine is not threaded under tension is ridiculous, and documented on Singer's support site. Having to purchase specific bobbins is just wrong. Making buttonholes is not the piece-of-cake that is claimed. It's not intuitive how to change presser feet. The bobbin case jams repeatedly. When using four layers of lightweight cotton and stitching them, birdnesting occurs; you can pretty much ruling out sewing any heavy or thick fabrics with this machine. Birdnesting also occurs when stitching stretch knits. The tension lever doesn't seem to have any effect on tension at all. I could go on and on.
I've called Singer support and they've offered to give me a new 4210 and send this problem one back. I'll take them up on that, and hope that in the two years since I bought my 4210 some of these problems may have been worked out in manufacturing. We'll see.

Nancy Zieman 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that I will write about what I know. My sewing skills are squarely at the beginning level, so I haven't used all of the features yet. I will add to this review as I use the product more.
The product is really well made. I like the durable plastic better than the flimsy metal. It has a nice weight and feels good in your hand.
First, even if you only use it as a sewing gauge for marking seam allowances, it's worth it. It's so much larger than the traditional sewing gauges. You really save a little time by using it. Using it as a hem gauge is a no-brainer. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out the markings, but I haven't picked up my old sewing gauge since.

I'll be making a shirt soon, so I'll let you know how the buttonhole spacing and marking work.
The one function I rarely see myself using is the circle compass. I don't quilt, so I found the instructions confusing.

Clover Magnet Pin Caddy, Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this pin caddy for myself about a year ago and I loved it so much I bought two more for some of my quilting friends. Because it is magnetized and has a scoop shape, the caddy never loses pins or allows them to point off in odd directions. I've dropped pins from as high as about six inches (not on purpose) and from an inch or two off to the side. The always end up right where they are supposed to be, all lined up nicely. The groove in the middle makes it really easy to get pins back out. I've accidentally overturned the caddy, and no pins have escaped. For a clutz like me, this caddy is a dream come true!
