These are beautiful beads and will work with the ones I already have. I would have liked to have more of the green ones like the picture showed, however, the ones that came are a nice contrast and will work anyway.

Chicago Pneumatic CP710 Engraving Pen
List Price: $111.97
Sale Price: $72.45

Purchased this engraver to replace a $70 value electric one which failed after years of use. It never did penetrate the M2 tool steel very well. The pneumatic pen has a much higher impact rate, so it creates smooth, deep engravings in the M2 tool steel. (very hard material) I believe the tip is carbide. I was hoping to get diamond, but it's not available for this tool. The tip, however, looks like new after several uses, so maybe diamond is not needed. The instructions recommend filtering the air and regulating it to 70psi. I didn't invest in a filter/regulator, and am using the plant air pressure, which is 95psi. The instructions say this will dramatically shorten the life of the engraver, so consider this when purchasing. A flow control with a small gauge would work to limit the pressure at the pen while it is operating....I may use that technique.
It appears to be well made and I am very impressed at how well it works so far.

The design is beautiful but the picture does not match what is in the kit. The floss is good but the picture shows a white, cream or ivory colored aida cloth but what you get is a light blue one in the kit. Very wrong for the picture and that's the reason why I gave it four stars.
Going to have to go and buy a white Aida cloth as I do not believe it will look as good on the blue.

Dritz Quilting Machine Seam Gauge and Adhesive Guide
I love this little thing! It has several points of measurement, unlike other that seem to only have the 1/4 inch measurement. This makes it versatile for many types of sewing, not just quilt piecing. My only complaint is that the red color can make it a bit difficult to see the lines and numbers. Still love it!

Janome Sewing Embroidery Machine Bobbins 10ct Pack New
I am a novice sewer and just bought a new Janome Magnolia sewing machine from amazon.com. A couple of weeks into my sewing projects, I realized that the four bobbins that came with the machine just weren't going to cut it. I couldn't find Janome bobbins on any of the typical sewing websites so I bit the bullet and bought a couple of sets of these knowing that I probably could have found them cheaper at a bricks 'n mortar store if I had spent time trying to find them. But now I have 20 bobbins that fit my machine and I can work on lots of new projects without having to worry that I will run out!
SINGER CE-100 Futura Sewing and Embroidery Machine
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.

I used these to convert a pair of stud earrings that my mother left me. They worked very well for that purpose. I bought an inexpensive pair of round nose jewelry pliers at a craft store. Icarefully twisted the stud so that it fit through the loop on these, and got everything set to the right angle. Very nice final product.

Distinctive Bobbin Case Made To Fit Brother and Babylock Sewing
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $24.99
Today's Bonus: 38% Off
I've been having a hard time shirring fabric with elastic thread with my Brother machine. I read that if you tightened the tension on the bobbin case, that this would solve the problems, BUT I also read that people were having a hard time changing the tension back to what it was originally because all you need to do to change the tension in the case is turn a screw. I am a new sewer and don't have the experience to change it back properly so buying a bobbin case to use exclusively with elastic thread is a small price to pay, in my opinion. I've used it to shirr aprons and decorative ruffles and it's worked wonderfully. I'm very happy with it.
Singer Foot Controller and Power Cord
Since there was no photo, I was nervous about ordering this product even though my machine was listed on the compatible models above. I decided that I would upload photos when it arrived to help others make their buying decision. I also took a closeup of the end that goes into your machine, so you can judge if this is the correct cord for your machine. The product says singer and has the foot pedal and power cord that goes into the wall. At this price, I assumed this would be a no brand replacement part. So I was very pleased. I was quoted $56 for a singer replacement part at my local sewing store, so this was a great deal! Shipping took about 10 days, but was packaged well. I wish it had come sooner, but the shipping was free, so I can't complain.

I purchased this as a quick sewing machine for my college daughter. I really wanted it to work well as I was thinking of picking one up for myself as an extra machine for quick jobs. I don't like giving negative reviews, but there were no reviews for this machine, so here I go:
Pro: It's tiny and light and very portable. Threading is very easy and stitches were perfect. Customer service responded quickly.
Con: It's loud, but it's a tiny machine and you can't expect everything...The pressure foot does not lift up high enough to get much more than a double layer of lightweight cotton through. I tried sewing a small cotton pillowcase and could not get the edges under the foot. Filling a bobbin runs the needle, which I did not like, and you need to use your finger as a way to make sure the bobbin thread goes on evenly. My biggest challenge (which I lost) came with replacing the bobbin and pulling the thread through. The instructions were useless (very limited) and customer service referred me to videos of other machines with different bobbin setups.
I never did figure out how to get the bobbin in correctly and the thread pulled through. I've returned it and purchased a full-size machine for my daughter. The machine has potential but they need to work on the bobbin issue, be up front about how high the foot lifts and put up a video.
