I was a bit skeptical at first about this airbrush because I've never really been impressed with anything I've tried from Badger. However, after reading a lot of rave reviews and videos about the Krome, I thought it might be worth a try. Well I must say the Krome is awesome!!! I own a few Iwatas and for less money this brush easily out performs my Iwata HP-CS for detail and atomization. In my opinion, it performs similar to my HP-C+ or my HP-BH Hi-Line. It has a nice soild feel to it, the trigger action is very smooth and light (you can adjust the tension to your liking), it's comfortable to hold and well balanced, the spray pattern is very fine not grainy and it works very well at low pressures (10-12 psi). It doesn't come with any lube unfortunately so I would recommend you get some Super Lube or Regdab needle juice. Get one! You won't be dissappointed!

I bought it because we needed a portable easel to hold a melamine board that was roughly 3.5 x 4. It was too light weight and while it said it could hold 25 pounds (our board was 18 lbs) I felt it was over stated and it was not suitable at all.

The easel was delivered promptly. Service was good. I was just very disappointed in the product.

I dislike intensely rulers that don't start at zero. This one has about 1/8" at either end before the measurements start. I guess this is just a lazy way of making rulers to low tolerances. The model it relaced "R590-15 was exactly 15" long and started and ended on the mark. Just can't see this with the picture, so I ordered it without knowing this.

This is a fantastic trimmerI love it. Have never had a problem with the cutter not cutting all the way to the end. It will cut 2 layers of cardstock easily (at least mine does), it cuts thin chipboard (cereal box thickness), and you can get blades for it in bulk at local fabric stores. You can also get different blade stylesdeckle, wavy, pinking, etc. I have had this trimmer for about 10 years and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's my ONLY trimmer!

This was plenty big enough for my portable sewing machine. It even had room for the foot and cord and a few other things. It has a strong handle and is made of heavy-dut fabric. Very light just the weight of the machine.

I love this machine! I am a beginner and this machine offers both the simplicity a beginner needs and the added features when you move on such as button hole capabilty, various degrees of zig-zag stitching, reverse stitching. My mom was an experienced seamstress and I just never paid attention. Now that she is gone I took interest. I just completed my first project, pajamas and wound up using the extra features provided by this machine. A neighbor inquired where I bought the pj's, all because of these extra features which made the garment look more professional. Now onward and forward! Let's see where my Singer takes me.

Handy flux is, in my opinion, one of the best paste fluxes available. I find that brushing the joint you're soldering with flux, then heating the area until the flux becomes viscous and translucent, makes it easier to place the solder pieces with a pick. If you place the solder before heating the metal a bit, the flux can bubble and displace your solder squares. Paste flux will dry out in the jar over time, but mixing in clean water easily solves the problem and doesn't change the properties of the flux, as it will evaporate once heated. (Make sure you use water from a clean source, ie. bottled or filtered water, as any dirt or impurities can keep solder from flowing freely.)

Like the subject heading says this is the most amazing machine I have ever owned. I'm just starting a home sewing business, and I needed something that would sew a fast straight stitch for max productivity. I made three aprons in a couple days, with all the cutting and application of lace and trims. It went by like nothing. Just perfect for what I needed.

If you're looking to expand your sewing or manufacturing business, this machine cannot be beat. It is the world's leading brand in industrial sewing machines. Plus, I love saying it. Juki! :P

These are extremely thin and great for using on material. I use them to work on doll faces. They let me do very delicate work and do not bleed on cotton.

I recieved my new Brother CS80 yesterday and out of the box it works great. It took me a couple of hours to learn how to use the bobbin winder and the thread cassette the instruction book is written with pictures and describes everything step by step I found it very easy to use. I also love the fact of being able to use it with or without the foot pedal my last one I was constantly chasing it around the floor, its nice just to reach up and stop or start it with a button the same with the needle just push a button.I'm looking forward to all the built in stitches that are there and mosts of all its light and easy to handle and I sat it on a wooden tray table to try it out and there was no vibrations and its so quiet. I know I will get hours of enjoyment from this machine. I've sewed for along time and on all kinds of machines but I'm sure a beginner can learn to use it if you can use a computer you can use this

I was so excited about getting this machine. so many more features than the similarly priced brother machines at wal-mart. i grew up with the singer name, and know it's reputation for quality machines that last forever. well forever was way too short on this one. cutting the price corner and getting the refurbished machine was a big mistake. it arrived with everything in tact, looked shiny and new, despite having a plain brown box with "factory serviced" stamped on the side (note: this box doesn't seem to be adequately padded for the tough and tumble world of ground shipping). when I went to use it, it didn't work. lights on, but nobody's home. on closer inspection, there is a screw missing from the external case (evidenced by a small marking in the plastic and an empty threaded hole) and in some places the case is not even put together right (plastic overlapping where it should be tongue-in groove). Singer only covers refurbished machines for 90 days (full warranty) and 1 year for the motor and belts. But service will cost you plenty with shipping (this monster weighs in at 17lb) unless you live near a service center. Needless to say, this one is going back to amazon and I'll never buy a "serviced" model again.

My daughter and I had looked all over for a necklace set like this. Most Best Friend necklaces are split, with "Best" on one side and "Friends" on the other. She is 9 and at that age everyone wants the "Best" side. So she wanted a necklace that had the words split in the middle. These necklaces also fit together in a more intricate fashion. The neck cord is rubber like and they already come attached. They arrived VERY quickly from C&D Seller Savings.

After reading a lot of on line reviews, I got this machine in September 2007. Funny that at the time I could hardly find many negative reviews and the ones I did find were people who had a beef with Singer or a weird fluke that made their machine break. So I took the plunge. I'd had another Singer that lasted a good 10 years with sporadic use. I'm certainly no seamstress. This was more or less for easy projects and simple sewing. It was easy to get started on the machine. The buttons for the various stitches are great. The horizontal placement of the thread seemed like a great idea. The instruction book was clear. It is easy to perform maintenance on the machine as the screws are easily accessible. That's about where my joy ends and my complaints begin.

First, the lighting stinks. Second, it's LOUD. If you get to pumping away at a long line of stitching, it's like a jackhammer. Then there's the godforsaken foot pedal. Irritating? You bet! It seems to either go slow or super fast and is clunky and unnatural. I have to use a bare foot to be able to grasp it with my toes to massage it to go a decent speed without jerking into super speed. Trying to get it to maintain a comfortable speed is hard work. If you step on the pedal and remove your foot, and then try to step on it again again right away, the pedal fails to work at all if you haven't allowed the needle unit to stop. It can be super annoying.

The last complaint I will voice is the fact that I am having one heck of a time getting thread that agrees with the machine. Yes, I've cleaned the machine. Yes, I've oiled the machine. Yes, I've adjusted the tension up or down. Yes, I've changed needles...bought good thread...am using "Singer" products...sacrificed a goat and did a rain dance...but the thread is forever clumping around the top of the needle and snapping off. No matter what I do thus far, I can't seem to solve that problem.

All in all, I am frustrated with this machine. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You know that saying "you get what you pay for"? Well, if only that were true in this case! I haven't even gotten what I paid for!
