Singer Serger 14CG754 Serger Overlock Review

Purchased this item from a retail JoAnns' It was 249.99 on sale, came threaded.
I had to play around with the machine more than I used it, read the reviews here and on JoAnns' site and decided there was a better Serger out there.
Bought a Brother from Amazon, JoAnn only sold Singer.

Now, in defense of the Singer serger machine, it has a much heavier material cutter, less oiling and a heavier steel shaft, collar combination, than the Brother.
Also, when the Singer was serging it did an extremely good job of overlocking, better than the Brother, in my opinion.
After I became used to the Singer form of threading it wasn't as bad as most of the reviews made it sound.

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.

Singer SES1000 All-in-One Sewing, Embroidery, & Serging Machine with Bonus Software Review

Singer SES1000 All-in-One Sewing, Embroidery, and Serging Machine with Bonus Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Singer Futura machine is everything it claims to be. It is computer operated and totally intuitive but you must be minimally computer savvy. You can buy a guaranteed used computer for very little money. The multiple stitch sewing functions and surger are, however, independent of the computer. I am an 82 year old male and decided to do this as a hobby and discovered that sewing skills are not required for the embroidery function You will find that all malfunctions are operator errors so follow the instructions closely they are mostly pictorial with little text. The potentials of this Singer are such that if you don't get the added software package (sometimes offered with the same machine price) you are missing out on the most creative part and you will be confined to the 3600 provided designs. Some of you may find this sufficient especially since many more designs are promised through the internet. It is however the Autopunch software that gives you this great freedom. You can change any image into embroidery designs and therein is the power of this Singer. Being also a photographer I use Adobe Photoshop software to manipulate or alter the image which is what you may have to do to get Autopunch to make any sense of it; other software may apply. For fabric stabilizers try to use some closed weave stiff fabric. You can also try spray-on starch. To put designs on terry cloth you need to use the water soluble stabilizer on top otherwise the loops of the fabric become entangled in your design making it look untidy. Save the torn away stabilizer and dissolve it in water and use it also as paint-on stabilizer. Start with single color designs until you get proficient at threading the machine which is what you will be doing a lot. I was fully operational in one week's time. Tailors or seamstresses not familiar with computers should team up with a computer savvy friend or family member (most of them are) and together you will share the great joy of automated embroidery.

Open Toe Darning Foot Review

Open Toe Darning Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This foot was shipped quickly from the Amazon vendor & works great on my Singer 201. Makes free-motion quilting a whole lot easier! The open toe makes it easier to see where you're headed. I did bend the little bar at the top to angle up so that it does NOT make the foot hop. I found the hopping & the noise it made to be annoying. I do wish the description was more specific as to low shank or high shank machines and/or gave more specific brands & models of sewing machines that these will work on including the older models that many of us still love and work better than some of the new plastic machines. You can't beat an old, all metal sewing machine!

Singer 3116.RF Simple 18-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine Review

Singer 3116.RF Simple 18-Stitch Mechanical Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The reason I gave the Simple Singer 3116 a one star was because there is no zero star. I bought a brand new one. Do not waste your time or your hard earned money. I would be embarassed to put my name on anything that hookie. Chinese made. The bobbin jammed over and over and over the first day I started to use it. Singer said, " it might be off timing ". It's brand new for crying out loud. The instruction video was superb. But that's where it ended. The product is really frustrating.
Let me tell you about the bobbin. It sits in a half moon shaped depression that you slide a " hook " into and then while holding that easily disgorged piece with one hand you have to slide the race over all that and then clip " dog ears " over each side to hold it in place. Then you take the bobbin and slide it in to the center post. I can't think of anything more prone to failure than that design except perhaps just tossing those parts in there without even dog earring them.
From the Singer Customer Svc CTR apparently this is not new to them. They said the electronic units do not have " this problem ".
Hope this helps with your decision making. I wish I had seen this prior to buying mine.

This platter didn't look as good as I was expecting. It's ok, but not impressive enough to justify the price. I have some spode plates of the same type that I purchased years ago, and there is a difference in quality. I don't know if they changed the process they use to make the dishes, or what, but I was not as happy with this platter as I was with the plates.

You get what you pay for, I guess. This setting is "Made in China" (not England), and is, literally, a pale imitation of my grandmother's Desert Rose dinnerware. The colors seem a lot less vibrant. Granted, it's been 40 years since I last ate off those plates; however, my recollection is that the blooms and vines on the plates and cups were rendered in high relief and boldly painted. On these, the relief is very subtle and the pattern appears to have been printed.

Desert Rose the largest selling pattern in the history of American dinnerware, made its debut in later 1941.It has enjoyed the world's longest period of popularity of any dinnerware pattern produced by a single company. The Rose Rugosa, rugged wild rose of poem and song was a natural design selection. The character of the bloom with its simple delicate petals made it adaptable to hand painting. This beautiful handpaintedpattern is still one of America's favorite casual tableware patterns.In 1964 the sixty millionth piece had been produced and Desert Rose is now on display in the historical Smithsonian Museum. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose Franciscan Desert Rose for use in the White House.In Desert Rose, the irregularly scalloped edge of thorny vines creates a believable frame for the fully opened pink roses with their golden centers and soft green leaves.The softness of the deisgn is further enhanced by its cream colored background.The twenty piece set includes four of each, 10.5 inch dinner plate, 7.75 inch salad plate, 6 inch soup/cereal, teacup and saucer. All pieces are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.Accessories are also available.

Beautiful dishes...great shape...BUT they break incredibly easily. These are NOT microwave safe, regardless of what it says. The black areas of the plates, mugs heat up incredibly hot (we've had several people burned warming up items on these) Even dishwasher use has caused deep cracks in the plates...maybe the glaze isn't watertight. (?) The shape is great, BUT they chip and crack so easily just with moderate use. I have service for 12, and its the same thing with all of the sets. Very breakable. Okay if you want to hand wash and use occasional. Definitely Not for everyday use.
