Sew D'Lite Supreme Portable Sewing Machine - 11401 Review

Sew D'Lite Supreme Portable Sewing Machine - 11401
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This machine is made in China and comes with no instructions. There is a cryptic chart pasted to the top of the machine. I was able to figure out the threading sequence, but the throat plate was loose. There are no instructions for positioning the throat plate. It seems to need the needle holder and presser foot removed in order to reposition the throat plate, but the screw holding them is so soft it will not unscrew without destroying the fitting.
The drop in bobbin has a little chart for the correct alignment of the thread: counterclockwise or clockwise. x or o. What does that mean? Is it + or 0?
I have no idea.
I have searched in vain on line for instructions for this machine without success.

Bought this item quite a while ago in the hopes of putting a few drops onto my squeaky video card fan. Well, turns out the fan was on it's last legs, not just out of oil. And we're going to assume that I didn't drive it to death by pulling a Frankenstein in the first place. Anyhow, I only need a few drops for that task... but then there were squeaky hinges, stuck drawers, etc etc. Surprising how useful this stuff is! It's worked wonders!

The Original Buttoneer Fastening System & Refills Review

The Original Buttoneer Fastening System and Refills
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
WHY can't I get refills for my Buttoneer anymore? To see the eminently useful single needle gun-style buttoneer google 'buttoneer 2' and see the original ad from spiketv website. JoAnn now sells what they call "the original Buttoneer", which isn't -- the new double barrelled one is limited to short weak useless fasteners for only standard shirt buttons. In the 80's, Dennison refilled the TRUE original Buttoneer and Buttoneer 2, with strong nylon fasterners for buttons, & other lengths for home/auto repair, crafts. Ronco obviously sold the idea to JoAnn who pressed Dennison to stop making strong, useful fasteners of varied lengths. The NOT-original-buttoneer now sold really robs consumers. The blog reviews agree, but the as-seen-on-tv spammers push them so far down you never see the truth. What a great product this was and could have continued to be.

She loved it. Arrived as described. I think it was a LITTLE pricey but since it was a gift I can't complain. My mom liked it very much. If it wasnt' for her I would not have paid this amount plus shipping which was NOT cheap for this little product.

Caveat emptor! Buyer beware! The item description led me to believe that this is an original Kenmore set of bobbins manufactured by Kenmore. The item description even has the Kenmore/Sears part number mentioned along with the product picture used on the Sears website. When I received the my order I find that that this is a cheap imitation made by some other manufacturer. Even though the item itself was priced at $0.01, the shipping costs on this are $4.49 which is more than what it costs to buy at a Sears store. I'm asking for my money back.

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'd read 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 skeptical about this set. The title says "Large" spools, and as I've learned in the past, Large usually means tiny little spools that are good for barely one project. Not these!
These threads are beautiful, they sew great (no fraying or breaking!!), and the colors are fantastic! I would recommend them to anybody! They really are large spools... not the huge overlock spools, but nice, thick, healthy amounts of thread. Buy them!

Good quick start into machine embroidery. When I purchased my embroidery machine on Amazon the machine and one hoop is what you get. As I didn't know what I would need to start I felt this was a good entrance to supplies especially when you don't know what you need. I did feel as though it was a little pricey when I purchased, but it got me started. I quickly found out that I needed more. I was especially happy with the trimming scissors and I am still using them. If I had purchased this on the sale price, I would have given it 5 stars.

At this price, I wasn't expecting much. Unfortunately, I got even less. The tiny scissors aren't sharp enough to cut the thread. The hinge on the thin plastic box is broken so that it doesn't stay closed. Even for the most basic sewing needs, this kit won't do.

Singer 14SH654 FreeArm Overlock Sewing Machine Serger Review

Singer 14SH654 FreeArm Overlock Sewing Machine Serger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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!

All the speed, efficiency, and creative possibilities of an overlock machine are yours with the Singer 14SH654. With easy access to the lower loopers, the quick and easy capability to make rolled or narrow hems, and the decorative stitch possibilities, this model makes an excellent choice for a first time user of an overlock machine or as a replacement for that older model in the corner.What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer. We are so confident with the quality of our refurbished items that we offer a full 30 day return policy with every purchase, so buy with confidence!

I applied only one star to this Janome sewing machine at this time because my gifted wife has not had the opportunity to put it through it's paces. I do regret that I did not read the numerous reviews on this item before purchasing it, or I may have passed on buying this model. I hope her and I are not dissapointed and she is able to enjoy it effortlessly for years to come. READ REVIEWS BEFORE PURCHASING so as to be able to make a more informed decision. I will say on the "JANOME" companies behalf that when they no longer had the model I purchased, the "4400", they shipped out immediately a much newer model the "4900". I will have my wife present a more detaied review at a later date when she's had the time to use the machine. jerry

If you are looking for a great little sewing table, this is it. It's stout, a good height and a nice size. I had previously purchased a nice wooden sewing table with expandable sides, so that it looked like a piece of furniture. The reality was that it wasn't stout enough to handle the sewing machine so it was very uncomfortable to sew. This fit my needs perfectly and I'm very happy with it.

Universal Sewing Machine Needles Size 11/75 by Schmetz (aka Embroidery needles) are just the ticket for sewing satins and any other material that pulls threads if you look at them wrong. This is a slender needle that doesn't damage the material as larger needles might. I've been sewing white satin using these needles, and the results are very professional. I'd highly recommend them for this reason.

Singer CE-100 Futura Sewing and Embroidery Machine Review

Singer CE-100 Futura Sewing and Embroidery Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What makes this product so attractive is that by connecting it to a computer you can get an endless amount of embroidery designs. It is also a full feature sewing machine.
I bought this item for my wife's birthday. It does everything that is advertised. The sewing functions are straight forward, and everything worked as it should.
The embroidery isn't as staight forward. The instructions are very poor, and limited. Although I have to admit, that I figured most of it out fairly quickly. The embroidery is slow, and of course you have to change thread for every color change in your pattern. The designs came out looking good. I also downloaded some free designs from other sites, and they worked just as well.
My problem with this machine is two fold. The one we bought broke after only a few hours of use. It was a minor problem. The bobbin holder had a crack where the tension screw goes in. At first everything was fine, but within a few hours the thread started catching in the crack until it was unusable. I'm sure that this won't be a problem for most customers.
The second problem is much more severe in my opinion. No one has parts for the machine, and it's near impossible to even get a parts list. One item that doesn't come with the machine that my wife wanted was a zipper foot. The part number for that item was listed in the book, but when I went to find it, absolutely no one had it. I even wrote Singer's part's department, and they wrote back telling me to call.
It's a neat machine. As long as you get one that works, and aren't concerned about parts availability, I don't think you can find a better ebroidery machine for less money.
