Grace Wood Hoop 2 with Stand 24'' Review

Grace Wood Hoop 2 with Stand 24''
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was debating how I could take my quilt along to Florida for the winter to work on. I wanted to quilt down there, but didn't have room for my large frame in our RV, and then I found this. It is absolutely perfect! I can fold it up while traveling and also in the RV when I am not working on it. I can slide it over in front of the sofa when I am ready to start sewing. It is wonderful the way it can adjust and swing around so you can do a huge square before you need to move on.

Machingers Gloves-Small/Medium Review

Machingers Gloves-Small/Medium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got a pair of these machine quilter's gloves, and I love using them! They give me that grip, needed, to
push the layers of fabric through the machine, in order to quilt all 3 layers. No dry skin, no slipping, you get a good grip with these, and they are lightweight material, so, you hands don't perspire, while quilting in hot weather.
I want to get another pair, asap, just in case.
One thing, these are not machine washable, nor can you put them in a dryer. Hand wash, only. Not a big deal, really.
I recommend these, for any machine quilters, who are tired of their fingers slipping, or tired of having aching muscles, from
getting the fabric through the machine.

I love this rotary cutter by Fiskars! It is very comfortable and light weight, has the ability to lock the blade while in use and not in use singlehandedly, other replacement blades can be used with this brand. I have cut through 6 thicknesses of fleece fabric. Great product for the price and highly recommended.

Gingher 10 Inch Knife Edge Bent Trimmers Review

Gingher G10 Inch Knife-Edge Bent-Trimmers
I've been using a Gingher G10 in my work-shop for over 10 years, and it is a terrific trimmer. I recently needed a second pair of large scissors, so I bought another G10 model. I don't know how this tool could be any better than it is; it's that good.
Refer to Customer Images for a visual size comparison between a typically sized pair of scissors, and this Gingher model. The Fiskars model pictured is 8.5" long and weighs 2.5 ounces, while the Gingher G10 is 10.5"' long and weighs in at a hefty 13 ounces. In other words, the G10 weighs 5 times as much as typical scissors.
The G10 is heavy-duty and large, designed for big hands and tough shearing jobs. This model easily accommodates my XXL glove-size hand. I can actually get all four fingers in the large loop, but prefer to use three fingers with my index finger straight along the tool, as a guide while cutting. The thumb loop is very large, and my [big] thumb never gets "stuck" in the loop as it invariably does with average sized scissors. The handle is very comfortable for a big hand.
Quality is first rate. E.g., the chrome finish on my 10-year old G10 still looks new, with no chips of defects of any kind. I've never had to sharpen my older pair.
The G10 blades come very sharp from the factory and cuts paper with ease; as well as cardboard, thin leather, aluminum flashing, etc.
On the "negative" side, my guess is the G10 would be uncomfortably heavy to use for someone with small hands and the finger/thumb loops would be too large. My wife, who has small hands, can use them when her other scissors aren't up to a specific job, but she prefers smaller scissors.
These are man-sized, so if you need serious cutting power in a pair of scissors, this is the one to get.

OLFA 9881 RM-SG 18" x 24" Self-Healing Double-Sided Rotary Mat Review

OLFA 9881 RM-SG 18 x 24 Self-Healing Double-Sided Rotary Mat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have kids that love to do art and cut paper. I had this sitting away from my days when I thought I would learn to quilt. But when my son decided he wanted to cut a bunch of paper to do origami, I thought between this and the rotary cutter, it would make quick work of that project.
For cutting paper, you have the grid lines to help you measure -- no ruler required. My only complain is I wish they would put a "lip" on one edge so that the paper doesn't move while you are cutting it.
It is also great as a protective surface while coloring and painting -- particularly when using markers which tend to bleed through paper.
It lasts forever -- I had originally bought my mat back in 1993 and it hasn't "degraded" at all -- it still has the "self-healing" properties for the rotary cutter. The color hasn't faded and it has held its flat shape (despite having been stored standing up).
My only regret is that it took me so long to think of all the uses for this mat!

Curve Master Presser Foot - plastic snap on foot with universal adapters fits most sewing machines Review

Curve Master Presser Foot - plastic snap on foot with universal adapters fits most sewing machines
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love love love this curve master presser foot! I thought I was really fast at curved piecing the old way, with pinning. When I got my new presser foot, in the midst of making a quilt with lots and lots of curves, I found out just how fast I could be. No pins, no picking out bad seams, no cussing or fussing. I was able to sew about 5 times as fast - and could do a more efficient assembly line style piecing instead of stopping to pin after each one. I will never sew a curve without it!! and the adapter included to fit my machine worked great. Well worth the price - has paid for itself already in the time saved.
As for use as a 1/4 inch foot for straight seams - it is ok if you are sewing shorter lengths, and with fabric that has a good amount of body. But if fabric is thin, or the seam is quite long, there is a sort of ruffling effect that will happen.
