I am so glad I purchased this bundle. The Qnique 16X Long Arm Machine is such a wonderful stitching machine. It is easy to manage, easy to assemble (I am 60 years old). It is not a cheaply made machine. Everything on the machine and the frame is sturdy good quality. I am still pinching myself I found such a great deal on such a wonderful machine.
I’m retired and pretty new to sewing but have become totally obsessed!! I loved the machine I already had but the throat was SO small that I couldn’t machine stitch hardly any size!! The Baby Lock Allegro has 12” of fabric workspace and it’s amazing!!! I love the thread cutter button that’s in addition to the standard buttons. I LOVE this machine!! It’s making sewing so much fun!!!
I expected the ruler base to have the bigger width from left to right instead of front to back. The opening for the needle base is not quite centered either. Compared to the instruction pics it looks like the base was cut the wrong way but I will try it out and see how it works out. Edited- looks like it is supposed to be longer than wide for this machine despite the picture in the instructions so all is well.
This rubber cushion came off my sewing machine. I have no idea how it happened. But I was delighted to find a replacement at Sewing Parts Online. The rubber cushion fit perfectly on my machine and was very easy to install.
This fabric was a delight to play with... very soft and vibrant colors! The only thing I didn't like was that the manufacturer's info at the selvage edge is very wide, so squeezing every last inch of the print out of a fat quarter was a challenge.
I love highland cows and I love blue! This runner looks so cute on my kitchen table. My aunt came to visit and loved it so much that she asked me to order 2 yards for her!
It’s good quality fabric; beautiful colors; and arrives quickly!
I lost a rubber cushion on my sewing machine (part ##647009002), and I decided to get this cushion just in case (hey, the one got lost, maybe this one would too in the future). It is exactly the right cushion and fits perfectly, too. I don't need it right now, but maybe sometime I will and I'll be glad to have it.
I have ordered encoders for my long arm from Sewing Parts Online but did not pay much attention to the other products you sell. I started seeing Bob’s videos, so I looked further at the products you offer. I bought Bob’s sticker because my daughter thought it was so funny that he threw the material, etc. (She wonders who has to pick it up.) The pattern I purchased intrigued me, I had never seen anything like it. I bought material and made some blocks right away.
I purchased 2 of the Sullivan Ironing Centers and put them back to back in my studio area. I added cutting mats and wool ironing mats to add complete versatility.
These Ironing Centers sit in the middle of my studio, but I love that I can separate them and collapse the tops, tucking the individual cabinets into corners of the room to make space for other activities.
Omg! This box is sewwww awesome! I’m in my bag making era of quilting and this box is the JACKPOT! plus you get a free sew along on YouTube with the Ambassador Chelsea Porter ! Love love this and can’t wait to make the pouch! It has everything you need and CUTE fabric! Thank you SewingPartsOnline and tell Bob I said Hi lol
The Noah's Ark fabric was a big hit to a twins baby shower where the sexes of the babies were not known. The two by two animals were perfect for the door sash highlighted by the green with babies feet. I wish I had a better photo of the Noah's ark sash before adding the extra sash and ribbons. Very happy with my purchase
Quality fabric - good color. Arrived well packaged. It is now a pillow for a young man! Very happy with purchase & would certainly purchase from this company again
Sew Steady is a great company to work with. The insert I received was just a little to big in the front of the machine making it difficult to reach comfortably while sewing. I contacted the company and they remade the insert to my specifications. Normally it would just be a standard insert, but my cabinet is over 40 years old. It's perfect. You will be extremely pleased with Sew Steady for their product and their fantastic customer service!
I'm using the Maxilock Lemon Chiffon Swirl on a baby quilt. I think the multicolor thread highlights the colors in the fabrics. I like this polyester thread bc it's strong and doesnt break when I free motion quilt.
Excellent craftsmanship and quality! My order was made exactly to the measurements I submitted, and it fits my sewing machine perfectly. The materials and workmanship are top-notch. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for such a great product!
My first machine quilting with the 9.5” x 14” dime snap hoop was a success! 48 hoops and it turned out great. The frame was so easy to use. The magnetic hoop was strong to handle a twin size quilt and easy to re-hoop without hand fatigue I highly recommend it.
I was skeptical after watching the video but the arcs are surprisingly easy to turn and there is a fudge factor when fusing them onto a quilt square which comes in handy! Love it. Just started so just one trial square
Ordering End of Bolt Mystery Fabric was a fun option to get my order to the point of free shipping. Having no idea what atrocity I might get and have to figure out what to do with, I was pleasantly surprised to find these two choices in my box. I have a new grand-baby and either or both of these are going to be used to make something for him. I would absolutely order a mystery piece of fabric again for the same reason with the same risk.
Ordering End of Bolt Mystery Fabric was a fun option to get my order to the point of free shipping. Having no idea what atrocity I might get and have to figure out what to do with, I was pleasantly surprised to find these two choices in my box. I also ordered from the children’s line and one of the basics is going to coordinate well with a nursery rhymes fabric and the other is a soft and smooth Riley Blake piece of fabric. I’d absolutely do this again. I once heard someone say, “if it’s still ugly, you just haven’t cut it down small enough.”
Cute fabric, although not as fine a weave as I expected. Still, where else are you going to find such happy pigs in a row? And the fabric was easy to sew.
I am so thrilled with my Sew Steady table insert! It arrived just under 3wks.
It fits perfectly in my Arrow Gidget 2 portable table around my Bernina 570QE. I plan to use it for retreats and as a backup from my main machine.
I couldn't be happier!
