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.

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.

Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine Review

Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought my Brother in April 2008 and have been sewing on it daily for at least 3 hours every day since then. I've never had ANY trouble with it. It's a MUST that you also buy the PED Basic to go with your machine so that you can download designs from the internet. I've downloaded over 8,000 free designs so far, and that's just a "drop in the bucket". You're limited to 4 x 4 designs (that's the only drawback). The machine is very light weight and has accompanied me on many trips. You don't have to have special needles or special bobbins for this machine. It's VERY user friendly! The patterns that come with the machine are very high quality, as are the Alphabets. I'd like to have more fonts on the machine, but they are so easily accessible on the internet that this really isn't an issue. I will say that 40 weight rayon thread seems to work best (and use a bobbin thread when embroidering). When I finally wear this machine out, I'll probably go with another Brother machine.

Brother SA224cv Cover Stitch Bias Tape Binding Set for Coverhem 2034cv Review

Brother SA224cv Cover Stitch Bias Tape Binding Set for Coverhem 2034cv
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I selected the Brother SA224CV after reading many other reviews on various coverstitch sergers. I have not tried all the accessory feet I purchased for the machine but the standard stitch has been very fast and easy to use. I have a Viking serger but never used the coverhem features because it took me longer to set up the machine than do the serging. I have a place in my sewing space for this machine to be set up all the time. For the price I think this is a great machine!

Brother SA445 12-Inch by 5-Inch Extra Large Hoop 12-Inch by 5-Inch Review

Brother Embroidery Hoop 5x12 / B001TOW496
I purchased this for use with my Brother PE700II Embroidery Machine with USB Port - the machine comes with a large 5x7 hoop, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a larger hoop on hand "just in case". In general, you want to use the smallest hoop allowable for a project - while you can use bigger hoops with smaller pieces (with the help of adhesive stabilizer), the smaller hoops are easier to precisely place the material, and use less stabilizer, thereby saving you money. This hoop works perfectly with the PE700II - except for the size, it is identical to the hoop that came included with the machine. Simply unscrew the clasp to loosen the hoop, set your fabric and stabilizer face-up on top of the hoop, drop the inner hoop into place, and screw to tighten.
It's important to note, though, that even though this hoop will work with the PE-700II, the machine won't actually let you attempt patterns that exceed the 5x7 size. Instead, this hoop is for repeated patterns, so you don't have to rehoop each time and potentially lose your place. The hoop can be attached at three different spots (top, bottom, and middle) and you can move the starting location for the pattern via the machine's programming. This hoop is perfect for repeated patterns on jacket backs, pant legs, or quilt tops, but *most* of the time this hoop won't see a lot of use. Really, I wouldn't recommend investing in this hoop until you actually have a pattern that requires it - chances are, you'll be able to coast on the smaller hoop sizes for a long time.
Two items to note: First, this 5x12 isn't represented on the LCD display when viewing patterns - it's not hard to figure out, but you will need to know what you're doing. If you can afford only one extra hoop, however, I would probably recommend buying the medium 4x4 hoop (Brother SA443 Medium Embroidery Hoop 100mm x 100mm), just because many patterns will fall inside the 4x4 measurements. However, if you can afford a set, you'll definitely get a great deal of use out of them.
Which brings me to my second note: The prices for these hoop attachments seem to vary widely and that I was able to procure it for *much* cheaper than shown here as part of a hoop set that included one of each of the four major hoop sizes for my machine. So I would recommend researching around to find the best deal, price-wise.

Brother CE4000 Lightweight Computerized Sewing Machine Review

Brother CE4000 Lightweight Computerized Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a pretty nice machine, especially for $150 bucks. It's pretty fast but not too fast and you can adjust your speed easy. It comes with a very useful guide on how to do everything from threading it to making a bobbin to making a buttonhole. My major problem with it is that it can be kind of a drama queen about the bobbin and if you don't make it exactly right then the machine's tension goes all out of wack and you have to make the bobbin again. Most machines are like that though, so whatever. It has some nice stitch functions and can do two needle. For what you're paying you're getting a good deal. It's lasted me for around eight months without any problems and I don't doubt it will last for several more years at least if not more.

3 Hoops for the Brother SE 350 SE350 Embroidery Machine Review

3 Hoops for the Brother SE 350 SE350 Embroidery Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just purchased this set of three hoops for my Brother SE-400.
This set of hoops works for the SE-350, the SE-400 and the SE-270D Brother embroidery/sewing machines.
To my surprise, all three hoops were grey and not black as illustrated in the picture (the picture does not do justice to the product, as the shapes of the hoops are not exactly as illustrated in the picture). The hoops not only matched exactly the color of my 4"x4" embroidery hoop that originally came with my Brother SE-400 sewing machine, but also matched it in quality. These hoops are well built and sturdy, and each one comes with a transparent grid template, similar to that of my original 4"x4" Brother hoop. The larger hoop is built and looks exactly like the Brother SA434 hoop.
To sum it all, I give this set of hoops a 5-star rating as it is a great buy, both quality wise and price wise.
You get three quality hoops for less than the price of two.

I've been fiddling with this hoop for several days now. The instructions aren't terribly clear, it appears you can only use self-adhesive backing, and since there is no top hoop, the fabric is pretty much free to move around and not be held down.

(More customer reviews)
This cone thread holder is a simple device that saves me a lot of money by letting me use cone thread rather than regular spools. I use the holder on daily basis and it works perfectly. I was surprised to see some negative reviews, I did not encounter the issued described.
Cone thread holder holds a cone of thread on the metal dowel inserted into its middle. A tall arm holds the thread to the level that allows normal spooling into the machine.
I use the holder for two purposes:
(1) I use it to hold the top thread when I am sewing.
(2) I use it to wind the bobbin thread while the thread is coming from the cone on the holder.
I recommend this product.

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.
