The Juki is a solid little industrial machine with all metal parts. It is easy to use and very fast and strong. It only does a straight stitch (nope, not even a zig) but comes standard with several handy feet, including a hopping quilting foot - perfect for free-motion designs. I got this one to use on a quilting frame, and kept my beloved 1980s Pfaff for piecing, but if you need a nice little mid-arm, the Juki is an excellent choice.

Factory-Reconditioned Singer 2517 Sewing Machine Review

Factory-Reconditioned Singer 2517 Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Singer is no good. I have attempted sewing with this several times, and have unfortunaly been able to make only ONE successful line of stiching. I have played around with this so many times thinking that "maybe this time it will work" but it hasn't. I tried contacting Singer and got back a standard email that did not have anything to do with my question. Also, the instruction book that claims to be easy to read, explains things in a difficult manner, and the pictures that go along with it are no help. Therefore, I give up, and am taking it back.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Factory-Reconditioned Singer 2517 Sewing Machine

Capable of 17 stitch functions this Singer machine is simple to operate and makes it possible for even novices to enjoy creative sewing. Some of the convenience features include a top drop-in bobbin that's easy-in, easy-out; a easy threading system with automatic needle-thread tension; an electronically controlled foot pedal for smoothly maintaining or changing speeds; touch-and-wind handwheel declutching for fast, easy bobbin winding; push-button reverse sewing for neat seam-ends; and a three-needle position selector for attaching zippers and top stitching. The machine is quiet and ruggedly built, includes a sewing light and a built-in carrying handle, provides horizontal thread delivery for better stitches, and has a slide-off extension table for free-arm sewing. Real excitement comes from the 17 stitch functions provided, including, for example, embroidering, monogram, satin, and darning. A complete accessory package (various presser feet, friction-free spool holders, transparent bobbins, and needles for sewing different fabrics) is included. Invaluable is Singer's illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet covering everything from the basics to zipper sewing to pattern stitching to free-arm sewing to highly detailed buttonhole sewing--and much, much more.Included accessories:Instruction manual (English, Spanish, French), pack of needles, 4 bobbins, feed cover, 2 spool caps, standard pressure foot and a box to keep accessories in.

Plastic Machine Bobbins-5/Pkg Review

Plastic Machine Bobbins-5/Pkg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ordered these for my mother who had recently purchased a Brother CS6000I sewing machine, with uses the larger (11.5mm, 7/16th-inch) bobbins. Although (at least at the time of purchase) this product appeared when you searched for the correct Brother part number AND the CS6000I appeared as a buying suggestion on this item's product page, it is important to note that these bobbins are of the smaller type, therefore NOT compatible with the Brother CS6000I. Since "customers who bought this product also bought" the CS6000I, it looks as if it might be a common mistake.
The product itself seems to be of good quality if you need the smaller bobbins, but the important compatibility information that is present on the back of the packaging is missing on the product page.

Janome Universal Ultimate Ruffler Accessory By The Each Review

Janome Universal Ultimate Ruffler Accessory By The Each
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am currently a junior in my years as a fashion design student, and I have to say that this is one of the best investments that I have purchased for my career for awhile. If you are in to children's wear or cute dresses that have a lot of ruffling, than you cannot believe what a life saver this transformer-esque looking foot is! If you've ruffled by hand, gathering string by string than you know the agony and patience it takes to get the final product to look just right. Since ruffles are part of my design aesthetic, I was doing 3 to 4 yard ruffles and they were taking me AT LEAST 4 hours each by hand. Now... 5 minutes tops with the ruffler!!!!! I couldn't believe how professional and beautiful and fast this little guy works---like a dream.
Once you get the hang of all the settings for how wide a ruffle and how many ruffles per stitch, this is going to be your new favorite toy! I honestly still want to ruffle every piece of fabric I own!

This is The Ultimate Ruffler. Rufflers have been around for a very long time and have changed very little over the years; they have however remained very popular. Although at first sight a ruffler may appear bulky and complicated its innovative design actually makes it very easy to use. This design allows fabric to be ruffled or pleated to the desired fullness quickly and easily and also has the capability to vary the sizes of ruffles. Fits ALL Janome sewing machines!

This is a wonderfully constructed tote that can organize and hold all of your sewing machine needs. The handle and base (plastic parts) cannot handle being used. After just three trips to class the handle won't easily lift the full length and the base feet have cracked. One has completely broken off..So if you need this to get your sewing suppplies in and out of your closet- it works great - just don't travel with it..

Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife needed a simple basic sewing machine to repair and make adjustments to our clothes. We decided on this model based on the low price and the Singer name. As we understand there are more Singer machines in service than all other brands together.
We found the DVD that came with the machine very helpful and between that and the owner's manual the setup was easy. Since then she is using it from time to time and, as it fulfills all our needs at an affordable price, we must give it a high rating.
We would have hated to pay more for a sewing machine with more features that we were not going to use. This is a good reliable machine that fulfills our need for simplicity and ease of operation.

Kenmore Drop-In Bobbin Sewing Machine 74 Stich Review

Kenmore Drop-In Bobbin Sewing Machine 74 Stich
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for an inexpensive mechanical machine and did a lot of research. This one had the functions I wanted, and had the best reviews I could find - very few poor reviews, actually, in all the places I could find sewing machine reviews on the internet. There aren't any here, so I thought I'd write one!
I got this machine in January, and have used it almost daily since then with no problems. The manual is great, and any snags I've run into have been easily solved - I've had to clean and oil it, since I've used a lot of linty material on it, but that's very easy to do and to be expected with lots of use!
It's much more quiet than my old Singer was. I don't have any complaints. There are features I'd like, but you have to buy a more expensive machine to get it all.
By the way, I paid about $170 for this with shipping. Search around a little for the best prices, they seem to vary widely.

Singer 3116.RF Simple 18-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine Review

Singer 3116.RF Simple 18-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The reason I gave the Simple Singer 3116 a one star was because there is no zero star. I bought a brand new one. Do not waste your time or your hard earned money. I would be embarassed to put my name on anything that hookie. Chinese made. The bobbin jammed over and over and over the first day I started to use it. Singer said, " it might be off timing ". It's brand new for crying out loud. The instruction video was superb. But that's where it ended. The product is really frustrating.
Let me tell you about the bobbin. It sits in a half moon shaped depression that you slide a " hook " into and then while holding that easily disgorged piece with one hand you have to slide the race over all that and then clip " dog ears " over each side to hold it in place. Then you take the bobbin and slide it in to the center post. I can't think of anything more prone to failure than that design except perhaps just tossing those parts in there without even dog earring them.
From the Singer Customer Svc CTR apparently this is not new to them. They said the electronic units do not have " this problem ".
Hope this helps with your decision making. I wish I had seen this prior to buying mine.

10 Spool Embroidery Thread Stand Review

10 Spool Embroidery Thread Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought the wrong item. This thread stand is for the real large spools of thread, not the small (1100) threads for embroidering on my home embroidery machine. The thread stand is much larger than I anticipated. I suppose it would work but it's too big for my use. It's gray in color..I know, a bit picky but I prefer the white thread holders that are smaller and fit behind the machine. Will be returning it.

Click Here to see more reviews about: 10 Spool Embroidery Thread Stand

The 10 Spool Thread Stand conveniently sits behind your sewing / embroidery machine holding up to 10 spools or minikings for those quick thread changes. Each thread has it's own thread guide to deliver thread smoothly to the machine as well as a thread locking system which keeps those loose ends tamed when not in use. This is a must have for the active sewist and embroiderer. * Multi-spool thread stand for embroidery * Thread cutter/clamp on top of eyelet frame cuts and clamps threads not in use, thus eliminating the problem of tangled spools * Ideal for machine embroidery or for keeping basic thread colors close at hand for instant threading * Eye-level thread platform for quick and easy color changes * Ideal for double or triple needle sewing * Thread delivery arm guides threads to machine * Sewing machine rests on stand's base for stability * Rubber legs on base absorb vibrations * Lightweight and portable * Easy to assemble Compatible with ALL Brother, Baby Lock, Janome, Singer(vertical needle), Kenmore, Necchi, White, Simplicity, New Home, Kenssew, Prosew sewing and embroidery machines.

Average Reviews:

This is a really nifty idea, and it works really well for making pleats, but I can not get it to gather. Everytime I put it on the setting for Gather it makes a big knot in one spot, and that's it. The instructions are very small, and not clear in my opinion. There is really no where that I have found for instructions online either. So unless you already know how to use this, or have someone who can show you I think you may end up very frustrated (like me).

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.
