When I bought this bracelet I really wasn't expecting much... MAN, was I ever surprised!!! It's beautiful. It's made of high quality materials and the pictures just don't do it justice! The safety chain with heart clips are very detailed. The spacer clip beads are very pretty( they have little raised hearts on them). I'm so thrilled with the bracelet, I plan to buy more of them. Even my son-in-law noticed it and commented on how pretty it is. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
Shark by Euro-Pro Sewing Machine Remanufactured 998A
I'm glad I got this as a starter sewing machine, and for something so cheap it seems to be a decent machine. It's not some sort of miracle where you're getting a $300 machine for 15 bucks, but it will do basic sewing with nice strong stitches. But I encountered some obstacles that any other novices out there should probably know about. I had read that the accompanying instructions are terrible (and they are), so one thing I liked was that the machine was supposed to come pre-threaded. I figured I could see how it was threaded and then reverse-engineer how to do it myself. But it was terribly packaged -someone had stuck the original box into a much larger box with no packing foam or paper or anything to stabilize it, and the smaller box had come open, spilling pieces all over the place and wrecking the threading. The bobbin was off, the thread was broken and tangled, and if there was ever even a needle inserted into the machine, I couldn't find it. Fortunately there's an extra needle packaged with the accessories. It took me a long time with the idiotic instructions and Google to figure out how to set it all up properly, get it threaded, get the thread to stop tangling up under the pressure foot, and I've got it sewing but am still not 100% confident that I've managed to figure out every little bit of stuff like "Does this piece of thread go over or under this bit here?" If it had been better packaged and arrived in a shape that allowed me to figure out exactly how it should be set up, I would have been totally happy that I'd gotten what I paid for. This also would probably not be an issue for someone who knows their way around a sewing machine better than I do. But I'm now glad I didn't send it back, and I appear to have a tiny little basic sewing machine. It's so light that you can move it around easily, good for apartments where you're moving your projects on and off your table, and it makes perfectly nice stitches for very basic purposes. I wouldn't try something complicated with this, but it'll hem pants and make basic garments, and for things like that it's better and faster than hand sewing.

I have worked with Janome (formerly know as New Home) machines for over 20 years. I think I have only seen one jam once! This machine I have owned for 5 years and it has been fabulous. I teach children's sewing lessons in my home, and this machine never jams, is super easy to use, and is great for ALL LEVELS OF SKILL! I have 4 of this model!
I love the speed governor for children, plus, it keeps me tidy too. The big draw for me with the kids is also the fact that the pre-set stitch buttons above the stitch diagram are so quick and easy. You don't have to worry about the particulars of a setting on a stitch, you just go right to it, be it zig zag or straight stitch or overcast, you jump right to it!
The automatic tension setting is another HUGE draw. This thing adjusts the tension by itself. I have rarely ever had to touch the tension dial, and then only for unique project purposes.
The machine will also lock your stitch for you when you start a new seam! You don't have to hit the reverse button and go back an forth if you don't want to. It makes your seam look so much more professional.
The only thing I would say that might even be close to negative, is that make sure if you are going to do an automatic button hole with the automatic foot, that you are fresh on the instructions. It is easy to do a couple of simple things wrong on the set up when you do this, but if you have just read your easy to read section of the manual on this, it is a breeze.

I took my machine and both old and this new one to a sewing center 40 miles out of my area and they told me it was defective because it did not work. The fit and all was fine but the pedal was the problem. I sent it back for $11 postage.
There is no place in my area that repairs machines so I made two 40 mile trips to have it working again. The packing box was not very sturdy wih a lot of tape on it. I have been very well satisfied with every thing I have received from you but this one.

I read a lot of good reviews and a lot of horrible reviews here, so I was very wary when using this product. There are some pitfalls that may get you, but if you are careful, you should be able achieve a beautiful result. I transferred images onto green shirts and got vibrant colors with no bleedthrough.
Assuming everyone followed instructions correctly, I think some of the problems people had might have been the result of either their printer or their iron. I happened to have access to an excellent high quality Epson R1800, 8 color, inkjet printer. If you have a low quality (or maybe just a different) printer it's possible that the colors might not end up as bright or as thick on the transfer. It's possible that even high quality printers might vary in how well they work with this particular product I only have one data point, so I can only guess. Make sure you use the highest quality setting when you print! I did have one paper feed issue. One of my transfers got a little blurred on one end, apparently due to the transfer shifting position slightly while being printed. Luckily, it was not a critical part of the image.
I think some other problems people have described might have been the result of the iron temperature being too hot (bubbling) or not hot enough (peeling). I guess irons can vary. I think the hottest setting of my iron might have been just a little on the cool side. I found that I got better results by increasing ironing time. I got no bubbling or burning. If you're seeing bubbling, you might want to turn the iron temp down slightly or decrease ironing time. If at all possible, you should print several testing pieces and practice ironing them on scrap fabric first (I used an old shirt from the rag box). If your design is not full-page, then you can use extra space on each page for a test design and cut that out separately. Obviously, if you do it this way, the picture you are printing has to include both your real design as well as the test. If you have an extra transfer sheet, you can print a page of several smaller test designs on the extra sheet. The tests will allow you to calibrate your iron temperature and ironing time.
For my task, I had no extra sheets. I needed to make 5 shirts with a logo on the front (~2.5" square) and big design on the back (~7" square). I could fit those both on the same sheet along with an extra logo. So, when printed and cut out, I had 5 extra logos to use for testing.
Even though I had bought pre-shrunk cotton shirts, I washed and dried them before applying the transfer just to be safe.
Others mentioned problems removing the backing from the transfer. When I cut out my design, I made sure to leave little 1/2" tabs at one corner so I wouldn't mess up the design when trying to peel off the backing. This worked well in most cases. I could bend and mangle the tab to start the peeling process without damaging my design. Once the backing started peeling away properly it came all the way off easily. Once the backing is removed (or partly removed), you can trim the tab off with scissors. With about 75% of my pieces, this worked fine, but on some, the backing seemed to come off a little but then didn't peel properly. When this happened, I quickly abandoned that corner and moved to the opposite corner of the design and was able to separate the backing correctly from there. A sharp fingernail really helps with this (I wish mine had been just a bit longer). In hindsight, it would have helped to have tabs on two opposite corners in case one corner didn't work. I'm guessing that along one (or more) edges of the transfer sheet, the backing may be stuck on just a bit more tenaciously so that it doesn't peel off accidentally (or in the printer). Luckily, I was always able to find a place on my design where I could peel the backing away properly. Once the backing started peeling away correctly from one side, the corners that originally had trouble on the other side peeled off just fine.
When I was done, I washed the shirts again and the results looked good. Colors still bright, no peeling or cracking. Time will tell how well they hold up.
How to avoid pitfalls:
* Pre-wash shirts.
* Use highest quality setting when printing.
* Print a few test transfers (can be small) to help calibrate iron.
Bubbling: turn iron temp down or reduce ironing time
Peeling: increase ironing time, really press down firmly on the iron. Pay special attention to edges and corners
* If possible, leave tabs on 2 opposite corners of your design to aid in removing backing trim off later.
* If backing is not coming off properly, stop immediately and try from opposite corner.
* It's probably best to cut away at least 1/4" from edge of sheet.
* The tissue paper backing can be reused! This is useful to know if you are making multiple smaller designs on each sheet. No need to trim the tissue paper, always just use the full sheet, there's less chance of slipping.
* If you place the backing-removed transfer on a hot shirt, it may start to curl up at the edges. Have your tissue paper handy to immediately place over the transfer.

I have been trying this machine out for 2 weeks now and I'm in LOVE!! I have owned Brothers, Singers & Vikings over the last 30 years and this is the quietest, smoothest machine I've ever owned. Plenty of power! I was looking to upgrade but couldn't afford the high price of a new machine from a local sew 'n' vac store. I sew & sell online, and my former Viking just couldn't sew evenly through several thicknesses of fabric & interfacing, plus I was Constantly having to adjust the tension. I sew purses and cases so was constantly changing thicknesses just in one seam! This machine automatically adjusts to the thickness NEVER misses a beat-never phased, and is SOOoo quiet! I love it!
I was a bit scared at first because I've never sewn with a computerized machine but it's EASY! The difference between the old manual typewriter and an electric or a computer of today ... It's phenomenal!
Comes with Many attachments and the auto thread is great! Fast shipping with Amazon. No complaints Totally happy!
Janome Snap-on 1/4-inch Seam Foot (O) with Edge Guide (200318000)
I bought this foot for my Janome Harmony 8080. It fits fine and the needle goes through the center of the hole. This is great, because the Singer brand foot I purchased (and returned) did not have the hole in the correct place.
Here is the problem: The edge guide is a flimsy piece of metal that does not lie flush with the foot. It is off by approximately 1/16". When sewing a complicated block, the problem compounds and the sub-units are not the same size. I have gotten around this by ignoring the edge guide (which I may remove completely) and using the edge of the foot itself as my 1/4" which is decently accurate although its not a scant 1/4". The edge guide also bends easily, making it practically useless.
Over all, 3 out of 5 stars, mostly because the other 1/4" feet that I have tried did not work with my machine. The design of the Harmony 8080 s flawed in that the snap on feet sit 1/8" to the left due to the shaft design, making it impossible to use generic presser feet.
