After reading scads of books on quilting and machine quilting, I broke down and bought a walking foot for my very inexpensive Singer Simple machine. This food is not made by Singer, but is high quality none the less. It made machine quilting so much easier than I ever thought possible. The material, including the batting, cruised under the foot like a dream. I have left it on the machine for small sewing projects as well and have found it makes thicker material easier to sew. I highly recommend this item for every machine!

Makin's Clay Air Dry, 500-Gram, Multicolor
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $18.96
Today's Bonus: 5% Off
I have used this clay before and enjoyed working with it. However, it does dry out quickly even wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and store in a ziplock bag. Today I went to use some unopened clay that I had gotten as a gift and all unopened packages were solid as a rock! So if you purchase this clay make sure you use it right away.
Dritz Sewing Machine Lil' Stitch Mini Cordless
We bought this sewing machine simply because it is cheap, and we needed something for a quick fix, not long term use. I did not bother to read any reviews before hand. What we found out is that there is a problem with the gearing, and the thread does not feed correctly. As a result, the thread constantly breaks while attempting to sew. Aside from that, the light is weak, the foot pedal malfunctions, and it's just a piece of junk. Save yourself the headache and spend more money on something better.
25 Piece Doming Block and Punch Set
List Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $53.29
Today's Bonus: 47% Off
I've been wanting a doming set for quite a long time, but couldn't find one that I thought would be of a good quality and still be in my price range. There were other companies selling similar sets at the same price but with only 9 pieces, and this kit has nearly 3 times that many! Hey, I need a selection when I'm creating...
I'm pretty picky about my tools and I was very happy when I got this little kit. The price was great -less than 1/2 of some other places. The punches are very heavy and well made, as is the doming block. The nice little wooden stand is a great bonus, and keeps my working area organized.
I'm somewhat new to forging metal (a couple 3 years)so I'm not an expert on doming tools. I'm sure there are higher quality kits out there for professionals, but this is perfect for my little home based jewelry business.
I will definitely order from this company again. FYI, I have looked at EVERY website known to Google for these tools, and this has been the biggest bang for your buck.
Note: The punches are packaged in oil, so you're going to have to wipe them down with a soft cloth before you put them in the stand -I wouldn't be wearing any good white clothes when unpacking it!
Dritz 4-Piece Class 15 Bobbins
This China made metal bobbin has holes too small to fit my old Singer sewing machine's bobbin winder. Beware of this, there are plastic ones out there that still fit. They do fit the sewing machine, if you are willing to wind some other way.
Free-motion Darning Quilting Sewing Machine Presser Foot - Fits
I needed a free-motion foot for my Pfaff. This came up as working and the price was outstanding. When the foot arrived I found out it didn't quite fit. First I had to bend the pin holding the spring as it rubbed the arm. Next I attacked it with my rotary tool and sanded off a section from the top which had prevented the foot from standing vertical. I still love it, and the price. One designed for my machine was tripple the cost.
Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond Sewing Machine with Embroidery
I have owned a Diamond for a little over 3 years. I had the SE before that, so Viking machines are not new to me. I wish I had kept the SE. At least it sewed without problems. The Diamond wads up thread in the bobbin or on the bottom of what you are sewing. It breaks thread and the thread pops out of the takeup level (even with the new update). I took the machine in for servicing and hopefully help with the problem. I was charged $99 and one-half hour after getting it back and sewing on it, the exact same thing happened again. I religiously keep the machine clean and check for any threads that might be caught in the bobbin case because I was told that could be the problem.
In the middle of an embroidery, it skips stitches or again wads up thread on the underside.
I have found the dealer to be of no help at all and calls to the district office do no good either. I was told I could ship the machine to Tennessee and hopefully in 6-8 weeks, it might get on the bench. I can get no help at all to solve the problem. I was using the machine almost every day, but have decided that since I spend more time trying to get it to sew than actually sewing, I have gone back to a 50 year old Pfaff which sews like a dream. Why is it that you can pay $8,000 for a machine and then get absolutely no help at all.

20pc Assorted Size Antiqued Copper Charms and Pendants Jewelry
All of the pieces I received were smaller than a quarter, and most were smaller than a dime. All but a few were duplicates. I got 5 of the same charm! It was not worth the money and I am very disappointed.
Janome Muffling Mat
I have a Janome MC 11000 SE, which sits on a 4 foot table. Before I had this mat the machine would vibrate quite a lot while in the embroidery mode. Since purchasing this mat, the vibration had been reduced greatly. I am happy I purchased this mat. Ordering from Amazon, I received this product very quickly.
Paasche 2-Pound Slow Cutting Etching Compound Starch
18 bucks worth of vegetable starch. Kind of like when you realize that the chemicals you put in your pool are muriatic acid, citric acid, and baking soda, and you paid the pool supply place 50 dollars a gallon. For the fancy bottle they put it in...Same with this stuff use corn starch and save yourself the shipping...
260 Large Spools Embroidery Machine Thread
These are not Large spools, they are not the ones pictured. But there are many, many colors and at about .35 each still worth the price. Still, I hate buying something that turns out to not be what I thought it was so I wanted to let everyone know that the type of spools you get are small round cardboard ones not the large ones from the picture and hold about half of the thread that the ones in the picture would hold.
Brother LS2350 20-Stitch Functions Sewing Machine
I purchased this sewing machine at a local sale brand new. It is my first new sewing machine. I previously was loaned a 1970's sewing machine my Aunt had so I could get the hang of sewing and decide if it was something I would enjoy.
I am very satisfied with this sewing machine as a novice. I can see however, that I will eventually outgrow this machine and want something with more options, decorative stitch functions, ect. This machine has no decorative stitch functions, despite what it may say on the box about having 20 stitches. Those are all achieved by adjusting controls as you sew. It is quite difficult for me to hold my fabric with one hand and repeatedly adjust the length of my stitches with the other so those stitches will likely never be used by me. Other than that bit I am really enjoying sewing with this machine.
I recommend you read the manual several times and keep it handy to look at it as you may need. Every machine has it's little quirks and this one is no different. As I said this is a very basic machine and will be great for me to learn on. it does all it's basic functions well and has been fairly easy for me to mess with a figure out as I go.

Wall Lenk L12SCK Cutlass Stencil Cutting Kit
List Price: $23.99
Sale Price: $20.70
Today's Bonus: 14% Off
I have used this product for over a week and have cut out over 30 stencils already. This product works like a charm. It takes about 5 minutes to warm up to maximum heat but after that it cuts through stencil sheet material like butter. It is as easy to use as a pen. Previously I used an exacto knife set and let me tell you this product far exceeds that archaic method. It comes with 2 different tips but I have only found use for the straight tip as I don't see how the curved tip will improve on its ability. For stencil material I use Grafix Dura Lar "Matte" stencil sheets sold in a pad of 25. I originally purchased a thickness of .005 but would recommend a thicker medium such as .007. Make sure to get the matte version as it can be drawn on with pencil without smearing and you can erase any mistakes without so much as a smudge left. Also be sure to purchase the sheets in a pad and not a roll because the pad sheets will always lay flat and not curl like most stencil mediums. I purchased the stencil sheets from Jerry's Altarama but there are alternative sites that sell it as well. This is the first time I have used an electric cutter and I am more than satisfied. I have viewed similar electronic cutters, including the 5 in 1 tool but the reviews on those products were not appealing. This product will not disappoint! Enjoy and happy stenciling.
Zipper Repair Kit Vislon ~ Universal #5 Molded Slider ~ Black
This zippers are strong black zippers and would have been great except for the fact they are just zippers. There is no "repair" kit included, just plain old zippers. I contacted the seller and apparently you need to remove the stop from the garment and take off the old broken zipper and replace it with one of these new ones. Then, you need to replace the "stop" with another one which does not come with the zippers. How is this a "repair kit"? Either I return them and start all over again or go out and find a seamstress who can do this for me. I dont want to wreck my favorite fleece taking off the stop.
400 Rubber Earring Backs Safety Sleeve Ear Post Parts
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $9.50
Today's Bonus: 41% Off
love these backs, very comfortable, my ears are pierced multiple times and these backs don't rub against each other like regular backs do. I also used them on my 4 year old granddaughter who kept losing earrings and backs, she hasn't lost anything since. Only drawback is they are very small which makess them kind of hard to put on, so I just have my husband help me.
Easy Mold Silicone Molding Putty for Casting and Jewelry Making
I use this in jewelry making for making molds for metal clay. It was $2.00 cheaper than the brand I normally buy and works just as well if not better.
FAMOWOOD® GLAZE COAT CLEAR EPOXY GALLON KIT
List Price: $109.67
Sale Price: $60.93
Today's Bonus: 44% Off
I make a lot of clocks and other wood projects including coffins, coffee and end tables, signs etc. I've used this product on well over 100 projects. I am extremely happy with it. BUT, to make it turn out right you need to follow the directions exactly. You should start out with a couple of small projects and plan on a little waste. It is designed to be poured on and let the excess drip off. After smoothing it out and removing the bubbles (I recommend a product called "Eat a Bubble". It works great) cover your project completely to prevent dust from getting on it. Let it sit for about 12 hours without removing the dust cover. Then sand off the drips that have dried. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and old clothes because it can get messy until you get the hang of it. Your success will depend on how well you mix it. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!!
