Singer Ruffler #086742-P Review

Singer Ruffler #086742-P
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really nifty idea, and it works really well for making pleats, but I can not get it to gather. Everytime I put it on the setting for Gather it makes a big knot in one spot, and that's it. The instructions are very small, and not clear in my opinion. There is really no where that I have found for instructions online either. So unless you already know how to use this, or have someone who can show you I think you may end up very frustrated (like me).

I was searching amazon for sewing supplies and came across this kit along with the SFSE book. This is so great that this kit is offered. It has everything I need to sew projects for years to come. The Gingher scissors cut through fabric like butter. If your starting to learn to sew and need notions and supplies, this is by far the easiest way to go. And you don't pay shipping on a bunch of individual items.

Ruffler Foot Review

Ruffler Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Put on the correct machine, it worked very well. In fact I have sewn about 7 "market skirts" - dirctions for doing so for a little girl was on the internet as a free-bie , and another site told you how to make it fit an adult. Both little and big turned out well.
The ruffler saves a lot of time, and the gathering is uniform. When working with slick polyester, I had to put interfacing on the edges I was ruffling, but, by golly, I had to do so with straight sewing also.
Bottom line: if you need one, call the dealer and make sure it will fit your machine. I bought two through Amazon. One, the generic, cost $15 and postage paid; the other was $32.95 to fit a Janome. It was also postage paid. The generic fit both Brother and Janome, and the Janome fit only the Janome.

Ruffles are easy to make with the ruffler. Use them as a fashion accent on blouses and dresses, as as border for sheer curtains, or as a flounce for bedspreads, skirts, etc. You can make pleated or gathered ruffles, and you can even make and apply them at the same time!

Singer DF151 Adjustable Dress Form, Red, Medium Review

Singer DF151 Adjustable Dress Form, Red, Medium
Average Reviews:

I have used my dress form for 4 pieces of clothing now. It works really well. It really takes the guess work out of sewing if you aren't into using patterns all the time (it works really well for pattern use too)!
My only complaint is that although the size is adjustable, the shape is not. Not all women are hourglasses or curvy in all the same areas and I think that this would better accommodate all shapes if the actual waistline was adjustable.
Overall, I am really glad I bought this, as I am an avid clothing maker.

An ideal sewing companion, this fully adjustable dress form allows for pattern adjustments before cutting, better fittings and alterations, and an opportunity to creatively work with fabrics and see how they will drape and hang on the body. Twelve dials make it easy to change the dimensions of the body, including settings at the neck for smooth collars and necklines. The height also adjusts, and a hem gauge comes included to mark the hemline for skirts and dresses. In addition, the unit's fabric cover makes it possible to pin items onto the form. Its size range measures 40 to 46 inches at the bust, 30 to 37 inches at the waist, and 40 to 47 inches at the hip. The form requires basic assembly, but no tools are required. An instruction book comes included. Overall, the dress form measures 14 by 9-1/4 by 60 inches and fits sizes 16 to 22-1/2.

Pattern Notcher Review

Pattern Notcher
Average Reviews:

I bought this at Britex in San Francisco last summer and have used it regularly since to notch patterns. However, my favorite use for it is to clip curves in seam allowances where I once used scissors to cut little 'v's. It's much faster. If I could change it - I'd have it cut through more than two layers of fabric and be a little sharper - to separate the punched fabric completely. Even so - I paid $25 for it and think it well worth the price. It's well-made, sturdy and works well left or right handed.

Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form, Sizes 10-16, Red
Average Reviews:

I like my Singer DF150 Adjustable Dress Form. The felt cover will be great for draping, since fabrics really cling to it and I am very impressed with the hem guide. It is somewhat difficult to adjust the height, but not impossible, and much easier if you take the body off the stand first. I bought this small dressform based on my three primary measurements (33-25-38), but I was disappointed to discover that her underbust at smallest is 28 1/2 inches, about 1 1/2 inches larger than mine, so dresses I've made to fit me will not zip up on her. Also, her shoulders are 15" wide, and neck 13 1/2" around, at the least. So much for using this form for fitting my truly small upper body. At least I can use her for hems, when I make dresses for some of my friends, and I can even adjust her to her larger settings to fit my fiancé's measurements (He wears a 40R jacket).

Singer DF150_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Small Review

Singer DF150_G Adjustable Dress Form, Gray, Small
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This dress form is very convenient. The multiple dials give you a lot of control in getting the right measurements, and the fabric-covered surface lets you pin materials to the form.
However, there is one major drawback. You can't use the form to create tight-fitting tops or dresses, because the chest shape is not true to life! In real life, breast width transitions gradually from top to bottom, but at the bottom it cuts sharply in where the breast ends and the rib cage begins (under the cup). On this dress form though, the breasts thin out gradually on the underside as well, making the ribcage in that area disproportionately wide. With the waist and breast measurements set exactly to my own, it is *impossible* to even put my bra on the form!
It would be great for loose shirts and dresses, but keep in mind that the chest area is messed up.
