Extremely cheap product.Seam ripper is so substandard it cannot cut through thread.I do NOT recommend this product.
Nice Trolley.Would have given 5 stars except I am very disappointed in the color.I would not call it Burgundy.I don't even see any Burgundy in it.The design is largely orange and red on a black background and not a pretty fabric, but it appears sturdy and will serve the purpose.
Machine is smaller and more lightweight than other machines I have owned. It does have a nice assortment of built-in stitches and 3 built-in buttonholes. Over all the machine appearance is nice and is easy to operate, also the instruction booklet is easy to follow.It does have features normally found on higher-end sewing machines; but it does lack the quality. The head and floor (power) pedal is constructed of thin plastic and feels weak like it could easily break. Although manufacturer claims the machine can sew through 7 layers of denim, I doubt it would last long due to lack of power. The stitch precision is also lacking, and it does not have the stitch calibration of higher-end sewing machines. The stitch quality is more in keeping with a toy sewing machine or "mini" sewing machine that are now available.I spent several hours testing the machine and comparing the stitch quality with another machines I own, and my decision was to return the machine for a refund. Overall quality is lacking and I was also concerned with the availability of parts and service. Anyone wanting a computerized machine and keep within the price range of this machine, I would suggest purchasing a good used Swiss or German made machine, the craftsmanship and technology far exceeds the Euro-Pro Brand. For a beginning sewer, I would suggest starting out with a basic machine and later getting a more advanced model.
Handy accessory to have for binding anything. The instructions are minimal though. I had to research the internet to find out exactly how to use this particular binder. The adjustable screw is very hard to use as it's very tight and close to the plate of the machine once it's attached. I practiced a lot before using it on the final item I was sewing. Over all, I like it and am glad to have it.
I am learning to sew again. This machine is very basic, but not more than I need right now. The instructions that came with the machine are easy to understand. It is very easy to set up and to use.
I bought this (and the distinctive narrow hem foot which is the same thing so stay away from that too imo)and tried to use it on anything.It will only work on lightweight fabrics and even then the stitching is hard to look uniform.The stitches look wonky and the hem is incredibly small (5mm or less).I decided to just go for it and get the "distinctive" rolled hem foot set which has seven different and USEFUL sized hems (like 1/4" and 5/8", etc.)and give you a chance to keep those hems clean and professional looking.It is $50 for the set, but i am so much happier to have hemming feet that actually work!
This machine doesn't work perform as expected for me. I think it's for "beginners' starting out without a lot of complicated tasks to sew or projects.
I purchased this serger from Walmart about a week ago. The low price is what lured me in, and I have not been terribly disappointed yet, considering what I paid for it. Sergers are fairly complex and take a lot more patience to operate than sewing machines. You can expect to put at least an hour or two into setting this machine up, and should plan on running a few scraps of fabric through it initially to adjust the tension dials, which can be a bit finicky and over-sensitive. The machine comes with a DVD that is INFINITELY more helpful than the manual, and with a lot of patience and several failed attempts, I was able to thread it correctly and produce a stitch. My only complaint is that the stitching can be inconsistent at times, no matter how much I fiddle with the tension dials, but I cannot say I expected a flawless machine at such a low price. This is a nice machine for those on a budget or who use their sergers lightly. I only use mine for finishing the edges of light-weight fabrics, and it suits my purposes quite well. A more expensive machine would probably function more consistently, true, but I'm thankful there's a serger out there that meets my more stringent budget!
I've had this machine for just under a year, and it has happily sewn through all that I've thrown at it, and that has been a lot.From simple skirts and vests to soft toys, it hasn't missed a beat, and is easy and quick to use.It comes with a good selection of feet, and has a large range of useful customisation for sewing with needle placement, stitch length and even maximum speed for sewing - useful for the small fiddly pieces.
This product only works on Innov-is4000d or other Innov-is machines.I read on the amazon specifications that it works with the 6000 series so i assumed it would work with my cs-6000i sewing machine, but there isn't a screw hole to install it on the needle plate.Wish the information was accurate.
When I plugged in the machineit didn't start.I then checked the cords and found something rattling in foot control; therefore didn't get any electric to machine,I think the machine will work well once I get this fixed.
Knowing which type and size of needle to use on your sewing machine has almost become an academic descipline in itself.My idea is that if you can take up a hem on blue jeans using these needles, then they will do fine for most of what I do.

Had a little problem with the wrong hardware but got it straightened out. Love using it.
This is a quality product made specifically for the Brother sewing machine. I use it on Brother LB6770PRW. It works perfectly.Don't buy a generic ruffler for less money.I bought one elsewhere and had to send it back.It was cheaply made and ill-fitting.You will be pleased with this Brother ruffler.
I am a beginner - the last time I sewed was in home economics class more than 20 years ago - yet this machine is extremely easy to use.The machine itself has good illustrations embossed on it, which direction the thread goes, that kind of important stuff.No need to pull the manual out all the time.This machine is much, much easier than I remember machine sewing being. Nothing jams.The materials and build are not flimsy and cheap and plasticky the way the lower end Brothers and Singer machines are.I was scared to buy this modelbecause of the dearth of online reviews.However, this purchase has been an example of when the brand speaks for itself, Juki being the sewing machine brand used by every tailor shop around me.They did not skimp on quality on this model, though its price point suggests it's intended for residential, non commercial use.
I purchased this extra thread cassette to expedite time for changing of thread color.This is same as original cassette that came with sewing machine. It only saves me about two minutes of time when changing thread color.I would have been better off to purchase more spools of thread for $12.50.
Serger in good condition. Works great. Great price. Thank you. I have a very successful in home sewing busines. I was apprehensive about the purchase, but I'dread that Janome makes good machines. I am happy that it works so well, although it is not as "user friendly" as my Pfaff Hobbylock.
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!
We boughtone &wassuch agoodmachine forthemoney ,we recomended& purchased oneforafriend. My wife teachesQuilting&now4 oftheladiesownthismachine.terrificvalue for alight machine
Delivery was quick, and the cabinet is beautiful and compact, I love the style of it too.I took away a star for the poor instructions for putting it together.The drawings are off and the photos are grainy and hard to see. It took a long time to put this thing together, fortunately in the end it was worth it. Very stylish for a sewing cabinet.
I bought this machine for my wife's birthday. She is a quilter and was thrilled with the quality of this product. She has had several higher end sewing machines over the years but tells me this far and away the best she has ever owned! She says the features are outstanding and ease of use amaze her each time she works on her quilts!!
I wanted an affordable machine that had plenty of bells and whistles. I was leaning toward the Singer Featherweight, but this caught my eye because it was less expensive. I've put it to the test with a few projects, and it has performed great. The only problem I noticed is that the feet occasionally come off if accidentally bumped. However, it is not that annoying, because it happens when I am not in the middle of stitching.
This carry-all for my sewing machine and supplies works well for me.Not having a lot of space to keep my machine up all the time, I can now put it away in my stylish bag and wheel it away to a corner of a room or closet.I'm sure it will come in handy if and when I need to take my sewing projects to another location.
I've been using this as part of the upkeep for my electric razor for almost eight months now and it's doing great so far.The nozzle flips down into a protective indent built into the cap so it doesn't leak, which is nice, but it could be a little easier to retrieve from its stored position.I'm not going to detract any stars or anything because of that, but it'd be nice if the gap near the head of the nozzle were thicker so you could easily pick it out with a finger.
Purchased for my wife based on others who owned one.It turned out to be an excellant machine. She was well satistfied with its overall preformance.Amazon had the best price.
I have tried numerous bobbins in my PE-150 and have been unsuccessful. I bought these with the hopes they would work. THEY DID! I haven't been able to use my machine as often as I would like until now. I have made towels, birthday presents, christmas present and a Wedding gift. THANK YOU for carring and advertising this product correctly. I will definately buy again!
This is a fantastic piece of "sewing luggage".It makes transporting my sewing machine so much easier and much more secure than a plastic case.I don't know why people are saying the extension pull handle breaks unless they are trying to lift with it which shouldn't be done anyway.This trolley has a handle on top sewen very securly and two side handles the same making lifting and moving to and from the car very easy.The extension handle is great for rolling the maching to the location. It is roomy w/ outside pocket, security strap inside to keep the machine from moving and padding. It is a great product. Highly recommend!
Strong mechanism. Two issues are: measurement conflicts on the design diagram, and in the initial break-in period the roller bearings will wear down the painted surface they travel against and the paint will chip off unevenly impeding the free travel of the mechanism without a little helpful push with your hand. Once all the paint is worn off it travels normally though. In general a good mechanism, but I hope it gets engineering updates.
I didn't want to spend too much on an embroidery machine before knowing if it would be something that would get a lot of use.Although I don't have a dedicated sewing room I opted against getting a combo embroidery/sewing machine because I already had a regular machine.I spent almost a year researching machines and the major selling point besides price was that it takes a thumb drive.It was really easy to get started without having to study the manual too extensively.I hate anything with a steep learning curve because I have very little time to sew.I don't want to spend my precious time reading the manual.I had been looking at Babylocks, but regardless of what the Babylock sales person said, the Brother machines appear identical and much less expensive.I don't have time to take classes (an advantage of buying from a dealer) so I went for the cheaper Brother.Also, Babylock doesn't sell this model as a stand alone embroidery machine.The PE770 is the same as the BL Ellure Plus without the sewing machine.The set up is really easy and I immediately began stitching out some of the preloaded designs.The stitch quality is great.The preloaded designs are dominated by the "cutsie" stuff that isn't really my cup of tea.Who wants a garment with a teddy bear playing accordion on a tree stump?I downloaded some cool designs from a website and put them on the thumb drive.It was very easy to transfer them to the machine and sew them even though we don't own a PC.My husband found a program for Macs so I was able to see the image and the color chart on the Mac. We can run PC programs on one of our Macs and I will probably get Embird soon.Given the fact that it is a lower-end model there are some downsides.The image is in black & white on the machine's display.Also, the image just looks like a blob.There is very little editing on the machine itself.I am interested to know if the embroidery software will make that less of a problem.I haven't ventured into trying to place designs in an exact spot yet.The embroidery hoop comes with a grid to help with that but I haven't figured out how to do it.Once the thread broke and it was really easy to figure out how to get back to where it was and restitch it.If I end up using it a lot I might eventually consider a fancier machine but I think I made a good choice for a beginner.The automatic threader is great!The seller (Ken's via Amazon) sent some information about different types of stabilizer that was very helpful.I just wish I had more time to play with this fun machine.
