The picture shows genuine Husqvarna Viking bobbins in original packaging. I received generic bobbins marked with a D instead of the Husqvarna logo and shipped in an unlabeled ziplock type baggie. The seller did not send what was advertised. BEWARE! Bobbins were bought from Bobbins & More.

AccuQuilt Go Geometric Die - 3.5" Square - Block B by AccuQuilt (55006-3) Review

AccuQuilt Go Geometric Die - 3.5 Square - Block B by AccuQuilt (55006-3)
Average Reviews:

AccuQuilt Go Die 3.5" Square / B003AJUGHA
I bought this die for use with my new AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter. I'm impressed with quick and easily it cuts fabrics, as well as with the accuracy of the cuts. This die cuts fabric squares that are 3.5" inches on each side; if you quilt with 1/4" inch seams, then that means the finished square is 3" inches on each side. Almost all of my quilting is done with combinations of 3.5" squares, so this die has been a great investment for me.
The die cuts two squares per cut - if you layer the fabric with eight layers (the maximum thickness the AccuQuilt claims to be able to accommodate), that gives you 16 squares per cut. It takes about five minutes to layer the fabric and run it through the machine, so you can cut about 100 squares in half an hour time.
The only complaint I have with this die is that it is a bit wasteful of fabric - I do wish they had made it with less "empty" space on the sides, to allow for tighter cutting, but I suppose if you got creative with your fabric folding it wouldn't be as much of an issue. For myself, I never seem to have enough scraps for scrap quilts, so I'm just being "wasteful" and saving the scraps in my barren scrap basket.
Do note that you will need the GO! 5x10 Cutting Mat to use with this die, as well as the actual AccuQuilt Go fabric cutting machine. I've attached the video I created for my AccuQuilt review to show this die in action.

Oliso TG1000 Steam Iron Review

Oliso TG1000 Steam Iron
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this iron in February 2010 and was thrilled with it. Starting in May, the iron started acting up. It would either not go up at all when finished or it goes up, down, up, down all by itself. I'm not disappointed in the iron as much as I am disappointed in the company. I emailed and called several times and have had no response, except for one email that says their business hours are from 9 - 1 PST but when you call all you get is an answering machine and noone ever calls you back. I am very upset by this.

This is odd but my nephew won a pack of these in an Ebay auction thinking he was getting some kind of Metallica memorabilia. I inherited them and used them on an old Singer 591 (yes, they did fit with a bit of tinkering) and was able to patch a canvas cover for my trailer rig. I'd buy them again. Good quality. I'd give them five stars if I didn't have to tinker with my machine so much to use them.

AccuQuilt Go Die 3.5" Triangle-Square / B002EZVVIO
I bought this die for use with my new AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter. I'm impressed with quick and easily it cuts fabrics, as well as with the accuracy of the cuts. This die cuts fabric triangles that, when sewn together create squares that are 3.5" inches on each side; if you quilt with 1/4" inch seams, then that means the finished square is 3" inches on each side. Almost all of my quilting is done with combinations of 3.5" squares, so this die has been a great investment for me.
The die cuts four traingles (i.e., two completed squares) per cut - if you layer the fabric with eight layers (the maximum thickness the AccuQuilt claims to be able to accommodate), that gives you 16 squares per cut. It takes about five minutes to layer the fabric and run it through the machine, so you can cut about 100 squares in half an hour time.

Bobbin Play With Bonnie DVD Review

Bobbin Play With Bonnie DVD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was unsure of how to get started doing free motion embroidery. I'd heard that using the bobbin for heavier, more interesting threads was the way to go. But I had no idea how to really make it work. This DVD was enlightening. It also has good info on supplies, machine setup, using decorative stitches, and going "digital" (if you have that sort of machine). I found this DVD very helpful for my needs, even though I only have a couple of vintage (1930's and 1960's) Singer sewing machines. Of course, if you have a fancy newer Bernina or other such sewing machine, you'll likely love it too.

You can put alot on this design wall, lots of room! I had the 52x52 and bought this one now as I wasn't able to put full size quilt patterns on the 52x52, this one I can. If you don't have wall space, this is the ticket!! Use it all the time. Love it.

A design wall is an almost indispensable quilter's tool, but they are not created equally. Cheryl Ann's Design Wall comes to you in a small tote bag measuring about 5x5 x 22 inches and weighing less than 7 pounds. It is easily assembled in just a few minutes to provide a giant 72x72 inch flannel surface that is stretched tight on a stable frame. The flannel is a high quality, 100% cotton, preshrunk flannel that has been measured and sewn to fit the frame. Because it is stretched tight and standing at an angle, adherence is marvelous and pinning is never necessary. A design wall like this will help you create wonderful projects and sharpen your quilting skills. When you are finished, just fold it up and put it away.

I love this product. It makes pulling the needle through the fabric much easier. I have some arthritis in my hands an a slippery needle can be difficult to maneuver through several layers of a quilt, These are life savers in that they make my fingers stick to the needle and it is then easier to pull it through...
thank you.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Viking Clear Open Toe Foot 4130319-45

Viking Clear Open Toe Satin Stitch Foot. Ideal for precision embroidery, appliqué, cutwork and monogramming. Nothing stands in the way of your creative vision. The cutout on the underside of the foot accommodates satin stitching and the open front ensures greater visibility while sewing. The bottom of the foot has a wedge shaped indentation, which allows even satin stitching to glide under the foot without dragging. The angle in the indentation makes it possible to turn curves easily. The toes of the foot are shorter, compared to a regular zigzag foot, for greater maneuverability while sewing (you can turn the fabric more easily for smoother stitching lines, an important asset when embellishing fabric). Works with these machine groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 : Group 1: Orchidea, 1250, #1, #1+, 1200, 1100, 1090, 1070, 1070S, 1050 Group 2: 990S, 990, 980, 960, 950S, 950, 945, 940, Prisma Group 3: 630, 620, 610, 190, 185, 180, 150, 120 Group 4: 105, 100, 95, 90 Group 5: Prelude 360, Prelude 340, Scandinavia 100, 335, 330, 325, 320, 315, 310, 250, 230, 225, 215, 210, 205, Emerald 122, 118, 116, All Sew Easy series, Romeo, Juliet, Oscar, Anna, Sophia, Emma, Lena, Daisy 315, 325, 335, Sarah, Madison Group 6: Platinum 955E, 950E, Platinum Plus 775, 770, 755 Quilt, 750 Quilt, 735, 730, 715, 700, Rose, Iris, 605, Rose 600, Lily 555, 550, 545, 540, 535, 530, 515, 500, Freesia 445, 435, 425, 415, 400, 350, Emerald 183, Interlude 435/445, Scandinavia 200, 300, 400 Group 7: Designer I, II, III, Designer SE, Quilt Designer, Quilt Designer II (7), (7A)Sapphire 830, 850, 870, Diamond, Topaz 20, 30
