Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing Machine Review

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.

Brother 2340CV 2 & 3-Needle, 3 & 6mm COVERHEM STITCH Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just bought this coverhem machine from Kens Sewing. Five minutes after unpack I had a lovely, perfect 8" coverhem sample. That was yesterday. Today I have a lovely, new t-shirt with painless, perfect hems and bound neckline compliments of this machine.
The machine isn't high-end (results are tho) but I'm thinking that it's going to help me puzzle out why my 4yo, $1500 Bernina overlock/chain/coverstitch can't make--never has--anywhere near an acceptable coverstitch let alone a chainstitch.
High-end, schmi-end. This.Bro.works.good
Oh, and, Ken has the best price (far as I can tell) in the US. Also, having fumbled the initial order I created an immediate customer service test. Ken and crew passed w/flying colors. I am one happy camper.

The cover stitch is what gives garments their professional looking finish. This stitch (also called a "cover hem") was previously available only on sergers, and then, often only on the highest-end sergers.The Brother 2340CV is a more economical model, offering a wide 6mm, triple-needle cover stitch and a chain stitch. Because they only do these two types of stitches, they're extremely fast-up to 1,000 stitches per minute-and much easier to set up and use. They look more like regular sewing machines, and offer familiar features that make them easier to use than sergers, like a full size sewinbed, free arm sewing, vertical needle drop and a one-hand thread cutter.This machine will allow you to hem T-Shirts, attach lace, attach taping and binding, sew decorative stitching, attach elastic, attach lace, do belt loop stitching, circular hemming, attach elastic lace & hem stitchingThe cover stitch is especially suited to stretchy fabrics like knits, as well as the popular new blends of traditional woven fabrics with a small percentage of stretch fiber added for extra flexibility. The cover stitch is a serger-type stitch made without the knives (no fabric is cut), so it can be used not only to finish hems, necklines, collars and cuffs, but also for decorative effects in the middle of the fabric. Cover stitches can be made with two or three needles. Chain stitch One-needle, two-thread double chain stitch. For tape binding, joining woven fabrics and decorative effects. Expand your creativity with Brother's advanced technology.-Easy to follow lay-in threading.-Color-coded threading guide.-Fast and easy looper threading system.-Dial adjustment for stitch length.-Stitch length 2mm to 4mm.-Presser foot pressure adjustment.-Slide lever adjustment for differential feed.-Differential feed for perfect seaming on virtually any fabric type.-Eliminates the wavy or stretched appearance of stitches on fabrics.-Snap-on presser foot

Superior Heavy-Duty Thread Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best stand that I could find. There aren't that many metal stands on the market and this one is very well made. I believe on their website it is cheaper then Amazon so research prices before buying. I can hold all types of sizes easily and it sews great whether it is on my expensive Brother embroidery or my wonderful 50 year old Singer Featherweight machine. This is the best way to use economical large spools of thread.

Brother XL3510 72-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though the Brother XL-3510 wasn't my first choice in a machine (purchased out of a limited selection from an online retailer using a "store credit only" return policy, even for defective machines), after a marathon weekend of sewing medieval garb, I have found this to be a solid machine that handles a wide range of projects effectively and efficiently. With a drop in bobbin (SA156 is the Brother part number--same as their sewing/embroidery machines) that is oriented a little too much towards the right handed (I'm a left handed person), it's much easier to manage than the Europro I returned to the online retailer that uses a steel bobbin and bobbin case from the side. Threading is easy as well, though left handed people will have problems for a few times until you get used to the nuances of the threading. There are about 3 or 4 places that I found the machine difficult to manage as a left handed person. Sadly, as strong as Brother is, for both the industrial and home sewing markets, they have forgotten that both left handed and right handed people use the machines!!
I really like the way the stitch selector dial works. Just like a shift key on a computer, you just put the outer dial on the red SS1 for the red row of stitches or the green SS2 for the green row of stitches--it's very user friendly. Normal stitches are neither red nor green--for things like straight or zig zag. Everyday stuff like back-stitching is easy (easier than many models) and the machine doen't balk at you when you want to go through a few thicknesses of fabric like pleats. As with any machine, you might have to coax it a little by a tug or two on a stubborn section through the feeders, but I've never known a machine that always could feed anything without a little help now and again.
All in all, thie machine passes the test. It works very nicely and should be a great addition to anyone's sewing room. I'm not an expert seamstress, but I've sewn to some degree since I was six and used many many machines along the way. This machine was a good buy--but for the future I will ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT before buying ANY MACHINE--it really DOES MATTER WHO YOU BUY FROM AND WHAT THE RETURN POLICY IS.
READ THE RETURN POLICY--EVERY WORD--BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING--THIS IS EXTRA IMPORTANT FOR SEWING MACHINES.
This is a great machine. I didn't buy mine on amazon. I really wish I did.

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I teach sewing lessons in Spring Texas (www.GetSewing.com). I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. The machine goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position.

Brother SA129 Quilting Foot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this item to be at a great price! Other places sold it for much more than Amazon. The shipping cost was also reasonable. I received the item very quickly.
I was a little disppointed because the instructions included with this item are vary vague and difficult to read. The pictures are small and not very detailed. However, I think the instructions are pre-packaged in the item so not necessarily a seller problem. I would just recommend searching for turtorial videos... I found quite a few on YouTube. This was a great help.
Be sure to practice before actually using this on a quilt. It's easy to learn!
Thanks for another great purchase!

100% Cotton Quilting Thread by YLI 1200yd Wooden Spool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best thread I have ever used. I use it to machine piece my quilts, then to quilt them by hand. It rarely tangles, and, when it does, very rarely makes a knot. Then, to top it all off, an empty spool became my little grandson's favorite infant toy. Five stars for sure.

Clover Rotary 45mm Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a new quilter I didn't know that most people use Olfa cutters and I bought the Clover. Later I used an Olfa and found that it's not nearly as easy to use, but, of course, people get used to it. The only disadvantage of Clover is that you have to remember to close it up each time so you don't accidentally cut yourself. But I think cutting fabric is hard, and Clover makes it easier.

Brother LS2125I Easy-To-Use Lightweight Basic 10-Stitch Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This sewing machine is easy to use for a beginner, but there are two main issues I have had so far. Firstly, the directions are a little bit confusing due to how they are worded and the four languages that are present throughout. Secondly, the thread gets caught on the wheel which unthreads the needle frequently. However, the sewing machine sews great and is easy to use once the directions are read thoroughly. I have never sewn before in my life, but with this sewing machine in the last two weeks I have made my first Halloween costume for my daughter. So, all in all, I am very happy with the machine.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Brother LS2125I Easy-To-Use Lightweight Basic 10-Stitch Sewing Machine

Many modern sewing machines give the impression that an advanced degree in mechanical engineering is a prerequisite to sewing. However, the purpose of a sewing machine is actually to make the mending, altering, and crafting of clothing easier. Brother developed the LS-2125i sewing machine for everyday use by experienced sewers and novices alike. Lightweight and user-friendly, the sewing machine covers all the basics with ten built-in stitches with multiple stitch functions, including elastic, hem, straight, satin, and zigzag stitching. The sewing machine further endears itself with its quick bobbin wind, automatic four-step buttonholer, and tension adjustment dial. To hem pants or alter sleeve lengths, the sewing machine converts from a flatbed surface to a free-arm design.
The 110-volt sewing machine uses an electrical foot pedal to control operation and stitching speed. With a flip of a lever, the machine switches into reverse stitching mode. The sewing machine comes with stitch length, stitch width, needle positions, presser foot pressure, and presser foot height features preset to allow the user to start sewing quicker. Presser feet snap on for quick replacement. With its light bulb, the sewing machine insures visibility while stitching. A host of accessories accompany the sewing machine, including the power cord, foot pedal, screwdriver, needle pack, bobbins, extra spool pin, twin needle, darning plate, and instructional manual in English and Spanish. Most accessories fit in the built-in storage compartment, located inside the free arm. For transporting the machine, an integrated handle is installed on top of the machine. This item is covered by a limited 25-year warranty. The sewing machine measures 15 inches long by 6 inches wide by 11-3/5 inches high and weighs 16 pounds upon shipping.

Brother SA188 Open Toe Walking Foot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good little tool and does what it says. It causes the top material to feed at the same time the bottom piece is feeding in, resulting in more accurage placements of the materials. The drawback is that it does not work in reverse. So, it is just right -- a real asset. However, when you get to the end of your stitching, you can't do a reverse stitch to lock it in. In any event, it is well made, easy to install, built so that you can see where your stitches are being placed and I would certainly want one in my sewing machine's tool kit.

Brother's SA188 open toe walking foot provides secure fabric feeding for both utility and decorative stitches. The foot features movable feed dogs to enhance feeding from the upper fabric surface, and the horizontal opening allows for a wide range of left-to-right needle positions and added sole pressure.
