Simplicity Deluxe SideWinder Portable Bobbin Winder Review

Simplicity Deluxe SideWinder Portable Bobbin Winder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You can wind a viking green bobbin but you need to place the bobbin on upside down. It takes a bit of pushing but it will go on. It also spins a small amount, where as if it is placed upright it doesn't move. So I'm not sure if this is a good solution. The upside down bobbing does seem to affect the winding somewhat. My unit didn't wind the bobbin uniformly until towards the end. It did finish up nicely but I haven't had time to test how it works on my machine. There also doesn't seem to be any sort of auto stop feature. You need to watch the unit and power it down using the actual power switch. It doesn't make sense because you have an adjustable fill knob that pops out when your bobbin is full to the setting you choose. However it doesn't actually stop the machine, it seems to be more of a notifier. I do feel they misrepresented it a bit since they specifically list the green viking bobbin. So unless you want to wind your bobbin upside down you might want to look for a better solution.

If you have one of the older German made Pfaffs sewing machines, you know, the ones that are built like tanks and will last forever, these bobbins probably won't fit. Go to you local Pfaff dealer and get the right size.

Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/Pkg Review

Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/Pkg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ordered these for my mother who had recently purchased a Brother CS6000I sewing machine, with uses the larger (11.5mm, 7/16th-inch) bobbins. Although (at least at the time of purchase) this product appeared when you searched for the correct Brother part number AND the CS6000I appeared as a buying suggestion on this item's product page, it is important to note that these bobbins are of the smaller type, therefore NOT compatible with the Brother CS6000I. Since "customers who bought this product also bought" the CS6000I, it looks as if it might be a common mistake.
The product itself seems to be of good quality if you need the smaller bobbins, but the important compatibility information that is present on the back of the packaging is missing on the product page.

Clover Rotary 45mm Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a new quilter I didn't know that most people use Olfa cutters and I bought the Clover. Later I used an Olfa and found that it's not nearly as easy to use, but, of course, people get used to it. The only disadvantage of Clover is that you have to remember to close it up each time so you don't accidentally cut yourself. But I think cutting fabric is hard, and Clover makes it easier.

Even though the webpage clearly states there is free shipping on this item, when you put it in your cart $8.49 is added for shipping. I contacted the seller (through Amazon) and their response was that I was wrong. Then I sent them a copy of the webpage they didn't respond at all.

4 X-Large Spools of White Bobbin Thread. These are 60wt 2ply Filament Bobbin Thread. Each spool has 5000 meters of thread on it. This will last you a long long time and you do not need to worry about running out of Bobbin thread while Embroidering. Each spool is brand new and is individually shrink wrapped to prevent damage from dust. Polyester has little or no lint. Hence your machine will run longer between cleanings. This thread is very shiny appearance, thin, lightweight and yet extremely strong. Embroiders love this since it creates a soft backing, even on dense designs. Many machine quilters like using a filament poly thread in the bobbin. Due to it's slick surface, it works well with metallic threads and heavy cotton threads. The slickness of the filament poly thread does not snag or grab the top thread. NOTE: The colored Embroidery Threads are shown only to give you an idea about the size of the spools and are not included.

Portable Bobbin Winder Review

Portable Bobbin Winder
Average Reviews:

It appears from the reviews that you either love this little gizmo, or you hate it. I'm afraid I come down on the latter side of the issue.
It should be such a useful little item, and I wish I could recommend it, but I honestly can't. I don't have much patience, but I am known for my creativity, and I exhausted both trying to get this product to work as advertised.
Thinking that my problem was the thread I was using and that the elasticity of nylon might be causing issues with the tension, I tried cotton thread with little more success. At least the nylon thread was easy enough to cut off the bobbin; cotton thread was a pain. I was going to try silk, but I decided even I wasn't that masochistic.
The bobbin tends to wind unevenly because the tension mechanism grabs the thread and becomes jammed. This causes the wildly winding bobbin to bunch the thread into the already assembled mass. Even when the mechanism is winding properly, the jumping of the bobbin creates major loops of thread that then get embedded into the oncoming material. Any thought of putting this mess into a machine would be shear insanity.
It seems highly likely that it is the speed of the winder that causes the problems I've seen. Certainly the ability to control the speed with the switch would have helped with all of the problems I've addressed. Unfortunately it doesn't even turn the machine off, only on, and one has to pop the lever designed to stop the machine when the bobbin is full in order to stop a miss-winding thread from doing any more damage.
This product is such a good idea. As one of the other reviewers notes, it really is a bother to have to unwind and rewind you machine to do your bobbins, and there really isn't any reason the idea shouldn't work. I note that there is a "new" model, but after dealing with this one and spending what I did to purchase it, I find myself unwilling to throw good money after bad should the "new" model work no better than the "old" one did.
A far better plan, certainly a cheaper and less frustrating one and the one I intend to employ, is to wind enough bobbins at the start of my project so that I don't have to use either my machine or a bobbin winder mid-project. Bobbins aren't that expensive, and I could have bought quite a few for what I paid for this device!
A little before its time, perhaps. Definitely needs to work out the bugs.

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

Average Reviews:

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.

These bobbins are made for Husqvarna Viking sewing machines and should fit without a problem. I have about 40 of both the green translucent type and the watercolor version, and all fit my machine perfectly. I bought the watercolor bobbins because I thought they were pretty...my only complaint is that the darker bobbins sometimes overshadow the thread and it's difficult to tell the difference between similar thread colors (such as black and navy).
