Embroidery Magic 2 Embroidery Machine Software Digitize Review

Embroidery Magic 2 Embroidery Machine Software Digitize
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product through amazon.com but it was sent from C&C Sales NY, Inc. It is a digitizing software program for embroidery. I researched instructional videos on line and this seemed very user friendly so I went with it. However, it is not compatable with Vista!!! Today I called 800-872-1555 X 211 which is Creative Series for Pantogram software. I was told it will not work with Vista and there will never be a patch for it. I was further told to contact the distributer I purchased from for refund or download Windows 7 for an additional Embroidery Magic 2 Embroidery Machine Software Digitize$119.00. Amazon can not help me since it was third party and I have had great difficulty contacting C&C. First phone call to them from the Virgin Islands claimed to not know anything and not be related to them in any part (even though their name is C&C Sales). Further research on line seems unlikely that I will ever be able to return this product. I am not opposed to updating to Windows 7 if guaranteed it will work but we all know how that is. My PC is two to three years old and may not be able to run Windows 7 and if it can, there is no guarantee that Embroidery Magic 2 will work. Not sure if I should throw good money after bad. Will keep you informed.
12/30/10 Update: I have been contacted by C&C Sales NY, Inc. and offered a refund. Let me start with I really, really want this software. However, Windows 7 software will not ship to the U.S.V.I. and my internet connection will time out way before downloading this. I have been all over the Internet looking for support because, again, I really want this software. I have studied all on line videos and am set to go. Unfortunately, it does not look like this is meant for me. I am now thinking PE Design Lite since my embroidery machine is Brother and this looks like it should work. More expensive. I want to thank Amazon and C&C. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry I can not rate the software since I can't use it but the videos look very promising if you have the appropriate operating system for it. The service from C&C will be rated five stars if all goes smoothly. Will update.

Bias Tip- 3/8 Inch Single Fold for Simplicity Bias Tape Maker Review

Bias Tip- 3/8 Inch Single Fold for Simplicity Bias Tape Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Too many problems with this machine and the various tips. First, the instructions that come with the machine are horrible. The instructions with the machine for the 1" tip tell you to cut your strip 1-7/8" yet the Simplicity YouTube video states you cut your strip 2" and also says you have to spray starch all the bias seams so that they will feed properly. Gee, like I really want to have to starch every seam in my bias tape?
As another reviewer stated, the tips are too far away from the iron and unfold before getting to the iron. I agree! I haven't tried to hold the tip up closer to the iron, so perhaps that will work, that is assuming you have starched all the seams so they will feed properly.
I got a "deal" on a set of the extra tips, but am really disappointed. ZERO instructions came with these. Have spent way too much time cutting bias tape at "guessed" widths for the tips as they come with NO suggested widths to cut the bias tape. Doubling the size of the tip would make sense, but ONLY if you intuited that from having gone searching for the Simplicity video that says to cut your strip 2" for the 1" tip! The instructions coming WITH the machine and 1" tip say to cut your strip 1-7/8". UGH!
I also found the strips getting hung up at the end of the iron under the cover if the least little bit of a seam hung out or an edge was slightly irregular.
Next, you have 5" to 6" of bias tape that isn't ironed since that's the amount you have to first pull through before attaching the iron cover and turning on the machine - that is IF you follow the machine instructions (written or Simplcity's YouTube video). Several other video reviewers have the machine turned on before they attach the tip....a really good way to get burned in my opinion.
In all, I can't say I can find a reason to use this machine. I'm sticking to my bias bars Dritz Quilting Bias Press Bars Set Of Five, and the Clover fusible bias tape makers: Clover Fusible Bias 1/4-Inch Tape Maker, 1 EA

120 Spool Wood Thread Rack - By Threadart Review

120 Spool Wood Thread Rack - By Threadart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although cheaply made, this rack does serve the intended purpose. I holds the 1000yd spools with no problem. Yet, if you use the 5k spools, you'll lose capacity by more than half. It is made for the 1k spools. Several of the rods were loose, but glue took care of that, not a big deal. It's designed to sit on a counter or shelf, but, it would have to be a wide one. It states in the description it can be hung on the wall, but, you'll have to rig it yourself. There are no instructions or hardware for wall hanging this item. There are other racks for thread on amazon, this was the cheapest overall when I oredered it. The others appear the same, just higher priced and higher shipping. So far so good on this item. I gave it 4 stars because it is a good deal, and does what I want it too. I could make one, but I don't have the time. I will be buying a few more,,,, This race is for the thread spools for a commercial embroidery machine.

I am extremely impressed with the speed of service from this company. I ordered the 1/4in foot on Saturday morning and I received it in the mail on Monday. That's not even a full week-end. WOW! what service. As to the product itself, it is exactly what I was expecting. While I have attached it to my machine, I have not had an opportunity to actually sew with it, but I have no doubt that it will perform as well as I expect. Kudos to the company for speed of service.

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch Review

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned several pair of Gingher sewing scissors. They have always been a bit fragile - drop them and they may never work right again, like the 5" craft scissors I had to replace a few years ago. Of course, that can be said for any scissor, probably.I haven't dropped these (yet!) but just the look of them is disappointing. Oh, they're functional, but they are little, if any, better than the el cheapo pair of double curve embroidery scissors I already have. The Ginghers I've had before always looked and felt well-made and cut smooth as butter. These Ginghers aren't finished well, and do not have the expensive look and feel that I have always expected from Gingher. After I bought the cheaper pair a few years ago, I always regretted that I hadn't gone for the Ginghers. Now I find that it really didn't make much difference anyway. Try Havel instead, if they have the style of scissor you want (they had nothing comparable to these.)
