I've used this product off and on for about 3 years now. I go to it once in a while, but it's too hard to get this to work for me. I like that it doesn't break me out and helps keep my skin fairly clear. The problem is that my skin has to be completely moisturized and flake free. Any dryness shows up and it can get cakey in places like under my eyes (I need to find a good eye cream!). The last time I used this I had to wash and exfoliate my face and I used a moisture mask! It looked pretty good, but then it looked like crap under my eyes. This is too high maintenance for me and so I think I've mostly given up on this! I have a lot of this left and will continue to use it once in a while, but I doubt I will ever use it on a daily basis. I haven't tried any other mineral foundations, but I might in the future to see if there is anything better. Until then I will stick w/my liquid foundation (makeupforever) which is actually working pretty good on my skin!

i gave this a good review at first but now is a totally different story my skin started breaking out and it became extremely dry, the foundation looks bad on my skin and some days it won't even match.

I puchased my first kit 4 years ago. I have to tell you I had purchased all kinds of make up and foundation from every maker there is. This is the best I had ever use, being a man I do not want people to be able to tell that I am wearing anyting on my face. This product makes me look like a million dollars and nobody can tell that I have make up on my face. It is the best. I am also into organic food and all natural stuff now, Bare mineral is just that minerals, so I am very happy with it and yes I will be their loyal customer for ever.

Mineral foundations are harsh looking on mature skin. I've been using Bare Escentuals products for the past 4 years. I take very good care of my skin and use the primer for this line. After traveling to Seattle recently, I forgot to bring the foundation. So I ran down to the local Walgreens and bought Almay foundation. The difference was dramatic. I looked rested and much younger. This was confirmed whan I returned home. I now wear Studio Gear foundation (great for combination skin) and everyone has commented on how much better it looks.
I've also noticed how much better my complexion has been since switching. I have friends, who were using Bare Escentuals, and they've switched due to my results. They also look much better! It's a great product but not for the 45+ crowd!

I was desperate to trust Bare Escentuals so I wouldn't have to go back to wearing any foundation. I found it works very nicely and I enjoy putting it on and feeling like I'm not giving myself a "pancake" look. I'm really curious about their other products though. I'm willing to devote myself to the Bare Escentuals product line if they really do deliver in all areas.

I have adult acne, but have kept most break-outs under control by going to a dermatologist and using some topical creams. I have very oily complexion with dry patches. Annoying combination skin. This product actually covers pretty well for a powder and early on in the day it doesn't transfer on to clothing etc. However, later in the day, if you're like me, it basically starts to slide off. So the coverage starts to look streaky. Since I work in an office all day, that probably isn't too bad, since I can just re-apply later in the day. However, my primary problem with this product is it really stings, irritates and itches when it's slightly humid out or it's warm enough for me to sweat a little. At first I thought I could just use it in the winter time when its cold out... but it itches a little and irritates a little in the winter time too -- as evidenced by my red blotchy face when I wash the foundation off. Occasionally when I flare up in break-outs (usually tied to stress and hormones) the break-outs are worse when I've used this product. I've pretty diligently tried to stick with this product for about 4 months (basically the winter), but needless to say I'm pretty disappointed and searching for a mineral foundation that covers and DOESN'T IRRITATE -- since using a mineral powder foundation does look much more natural than cream foundation. Thus far, the color and coverage of Bare Escentuals has been better than Sheer Cover (which didn't cover at all, and the cover-up made me break-out more). I'm also trying Philosophy's Supernatural air-brushed canvass (The coverage is ok, but the color is off and slightly iridescent--which doesn't look great with my already oily complexion. I also think it is making me break-out, though it hasn't irritated my face like BE yet). Can someone out there recommend a mineral/powder foundation that covers well and DOESN'T irritate the face or cause break-outs? Pie in the sky, I know, but I am ever hopeful.

I love this product, I hate liquid foundations because I have oily/combination/sensitive skin. This is great. it's very easy to control the coverage and it always looks natural and makes me look fresh. I would be a loyal customer if it weren't so expensive $25 a jar! Yikes! I am thinking of trying Loreal, because I can't afford to drop $25 all the time. But this IS a great product!

This is one of those products I keep going back to purchase. I have tried Sonia Kashuk's mineral finishing powder and L'Oreal's but BE Mineral veil is my all-time favorite. It just leaves a silky -looking finish that I like. I don't feel "done" until I have put the Mineral Veil on.

I left a review on the Bare Minerals #2, but feel that I need to leave it here so that others looking for an honest review can find it, no matter what their skin tone is.
After using Bare Minerals products for over 4 years with no complaints, I am sad to say that I will never use it again. My flawless skin has been mysteriously breaking out for the past 5 months. At first, I thought it was an allergy or some kind of detox, but then I noticed that every time I would wear Bare Minerals, I would break out the next day. The breakouts slowly developed into cystic acne on my cheeks and chin.
I stopped using Bare Minerals last month and the acne went away, completely. Then I decided to put it on yesterday to test it again. BIG MISTAKE. I washed my face before bed as usual and I woke up this morning with the worst skin - acne on my cheeks, forehead and chin. I'm using tea tree oil, a special acid cleanser and three topical creams to get my skin back to it's original state.
Bare Minerals will destroy your skin. :(

Ok after I ordered the 9 piece starter kit and the eye starter kit. I read all the negative reviews on here. I put this on today and started thinking I'm gonna take it back after all the neg stuff on here! but then I walked in the bathroom and looked closley at my face and have to say it looks great! so gonna keep it. I don't notice the pores being larger or wrinkles more pronouced either. feels good and love the warmth and glee.

The European Research Council has now funded over 1000 innovative ideas. A further €661m is still available for early-career researchers.
A car travelling without a driver from Italy to Shanghai to test autonomous driving in extreme conditions; volcanic eruptions created in a laboratory to study the interaction of volcanic ash with the atmosphere; a microscopic "chemical robot" that delivers medicine to the correct places inside a human body. These are just a few of the 1000 innovative research projects that have been funded to date by the European Research Council - the first pan-European funding body for cutting-edge research.
The 1000th grant winner, immunologist Prof. Erika von Mutius, is exploring new ways of tackling asthma and allergies - an endeavour that could have a real impact on people's daily lives. This is a typical example of the useful applications that can come from the "curiosity-driven" research funded by the ERC.
Created just over 3 years ago and tasked with making Europe more attractive to top talent, the ERC awards grants to the best researchers of any nationality and age, and from any scientific discipline.
According to Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn the ERC "has come a very long way in a very short time and is delivering excellent results for science and for Europe. Investing in top talent in cutting-edge research is pivotal, now more than ever, if we are to boost innovation as well as the competitiveness of Europe vis-à-vis the rest of the world".
But there is more to come: a further €661m is now available in the form of "Starting grants". Top early-career researchers can apply to the ERC as of 20 July.
This ERC call for project proposals is part of the EU's biggest ever investment in research and innovation: nearly €6.4bn for smart growth and jobs.
The package, announced on 19 July, covers a vast range of scientific disciplines, public policy areas and commercial sectors. Grants will be awarded through calls for proposals and evaluations over the next 14 months and are expected to create more than 165 000 jobs.

Night Tournament Talk
The Pac-12 finally loses a game as Oregon falls to No. 1-seeded Wisconsin. But what a season for the Ducks, who were picked to finish 8th in the conference preseason poll (two spots above USC) and won 27 games along with an appearance in the Pac-12 Tournament title game. It's called o-v-e-r-a-c-h-i-e-v-e-m-e-n-t.

Blast From The Past
Next year will be the 15th anniversary of USC's Elite Eight team but hey, why not remember a bit now with the NCAA Tournament dominating this weekend. The Trojans upset Boston College, 74-71, in Uniondale, N.Y. on March 18, 2001. The hero was reserve point guard Robert Hutchinson, who made five free throws in the final 1:17 to seal the victory. Jeff Trepagnier (above) had 18 points and David Bluthenthal 20.
Then came the heartwarming day after when Coach Henry Bibby told the team he would show them New York City and took them to dinner at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).

I was walking home from the bus stop this morning, and all day I had been stared at and honked at by men in cars, and I'd just about had enough. I was only wearing a long sleeve top and a skirt! Anyway, so I was walking along my street which is a main road, and this guy honked at me and shouted something out. I thought nothing of it. And then, just as I was about to walk into my house, the guy pulled up beside me and started speaking to me. There was another guy in the car as well but he looked more awkward and I could tell he didn't like what this other guy was doing. He said I looked familiar and asked what my name was and where I went to school. I only gave him brief information, but it was still a bit confronting. He then asked me how old I was, and I told him my real age, thinking he'd go away because I was way too young for him. But he kept talking, and eventually asked me for my number. That was the line. There was no way I was going to even consider handing out my phone number to this creep, he looked about 10 or 15 years older than me! So I said no and walked off, past my house so he couldn't follow me, and then some other guy honked at me as well! By this time I was really fed up and upset, so I went around the corner to a park, and burst into tears. It was one of the most confronting and upsetting moments of my life.
This sort of thing happens to me too often, and I'm so sick of it, knowing that there are horrible men out there is really frightening.
As I wad drunkenly leaving Turtle Bay bar, this dude appears next to me, touches my leg and goes "I love you you're beautiful."
Dude, F*CK OFF. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ME. ALSO YOU HAVE ZERO CHANCE WITH ME. EVEN IF I WERE STRAIGHT. WHICH I'M NOT. I'M GAY AS F*CK. F*CK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'm a receptionist at a car dealership. I'm also a book-artist, and I often bring small-scale pieces to my job with me so that I can work on them/fiddle with them in my free time. Today I brought a nice little Coptic-stitched number which I've been using as a journal and sketchbook. One of my male coworkers came up to my desk and began to admire it. I allowed it. He opened it up — and asked if he could 'write me a poem'.
I said sure. This man had made sexualized comments toward me before, in passing — but I thought, 'surely this guy won't have the audacity to write something inappropriate in there, while I'm at work. Surely, surely, he isn't so stupid.' Welp, I was wrong.
The title of his poem was "Attraction", and here is how it went:
Disturbing yet Alluring
Hot yet dampened by
the look of wet innocence
if only the conversation
could breathe to life into
this daydream
I wrote him a poem in return; titled it "Objectification":
Ain't no daydream
for the woman
on the receiving end of it.
We hate that shit
More than anything else
in the world.
Believe it.
He was taken aback, and he said that I'd taken the poem 'the wrong way'. I said 'I took it like you wrote it.' And then, we had a conversation about workplace etiquette and the objectification of women. Wasn't an easy conversation – it made me shake with nerves! But it was EXTREMELY FULFILLING. THANK YOU, hollaback.
T-Mobile has responded to our petition and provided the requested phone numbers to the NYPD. However, T-Mobile slowed down a police investigation of a sexual assault, endangering more people. We continue to be in discussion with T-Mobile to get clarity on their policy.
Hollaback! launches online petition at change.org to demand action from telecommunications giant
(Brooklyn, NY) – Hollaback!, an international movement dedicated to ending street harassment through mobile technology, today called on telecommunications giant T-Mobile to release vital information pertaining to a sexual assault case in New York City. An attack in Brooklyn in July, after which the suspect called the victim's cell phone from a blocked number, marks the sixth of such assaults to occur in the area since March; the information provided by T-Mobile could be key in leading to the arrest of the perpetrator. The on-line petition is available here.
"Withholding information that could lead to the arrest of a man who poses a violent threat to women across New York is not just irresponsible, it's unconscionable," said Hollaback! Executive Director Emily May. "By refusing to assist authorities in this case, T-Mobile is sending a message to sexual predators everywhere that their acts will go unpunished. It's time the company do the right thing and disclose vital information that will help prevent future rapes."
The victim, a 22-year old woman, woke up in a car in July with two men on top of her. She screamed and tried to get away, and they let her out of the car — taking only her phone. She was left with bruises and a broken zipper. The details of what happened before she woke up remain unknown.
"As a south Brooklyn resident, I am outraged. T-Mobile's policy has left my wife, my friends, and all the residents of South Brooklyn at risk," said Samuel Carter, co-founder and board chair of Hollaback! and publisher of Overflow, a local south Brooklyn magazine.
According to T-Mobile's Customer Proprietary Network Information (which includes call details and call location information) the company will not disclose such information without a customer's permission. The NYPD has already submitted one failed subpoena, and is in the process of submitting subpoena's with higher courts. According to the NYPD, T-Mobile is notorious for their failure to cooperate in criminal investigations.
The most recent reported attack in South Brooklyn occurred on September 6, 2011 and marked the seventh attack since March. Many of the other six attacks happened either late at night or in the early morning. While several women were able to escape, one woman was raped in her apartment vestibule.
Comedian Alex Carabano points out how completely ridiculous holla'ing is in this little video. And he's right. If you could take street harassment out of it's scary/lonely/isolating context it's freaking ridiculous. Problem is – outside of comedy – you can't take it out of that context. It's always gonna be scary. That's the point.
But what if we took the power out of their words and DID laugh at them? Would it escalate, deter them, or make them cower in shame? HOLLA with your stories of laughing-back. We'd love to hear.
I am not beautiful, that I know, but I also know I am no victim. I was walking home from getting dinner, a five minute maybe 100 yard walk and I was surrounded by four drunk guys. They started yelling things like "hideous bitch,""you're so f*cking manly, people who look like you shouldn't exist on this earth," etc. Unfortunately for the last few weeks, I had gotten this verbal abuse before but this night it escalated. I remained stoic, just enduring until it was over as I usually do. That was until they kicked me in the back of the knees. As I was getting back up, another one of them took a swing to my gut, and before I could react another threw a punch at my jaw. They ran away laughing hysterically. I lost a lot that day, but I would lose more. I've dealt with verbal abuse like this in the past but the consistency of it and the culmination of the assault was too much this time. I plummeted into a deep depression. This, not during the assault, was when my life got exponentially worse.
Depression, to say the least, takes a toll, and mine was severe. I alienated myself from my friends, as I did not tell anyone what had happened to me. I became a person that the depression made me, an anti-me. Instead of being chill and just going with the flow, I became somewhat paranoid and was convinced that something was inherently wrong with me that I would get such constant, violent attention. I became someone I hated, every day I woke up hating myself. That was the depression. It took my beliefs, my identity, my ambition, my soul, and my life.
My friends left. I assume they didn't understand, and I was giving them no explanation. My relationship left, citing that we weren't working anymore. I became even more alone than I already felt. I became completely alone.
I had lost myself, and everything identifying me as myself and there was seemingly no end to pain in my life. I was lost and alone.
I'm a strong person, or at least I was. I am a trained kick boxer but this all happened so fast and I never thought it would escalate into assault. I returned to the place of my assault yesterday, as a fresh face as I like to think, due to a lot of endless work over the summer, that I am somewhat depression free. I returned to this place. I returned to my school, where I still have a year left, and I felt great pain. I felt great betrayal.
I didn't ask to be depressed, I didn't ask to be assaulted, and I didn't ask to be abandoned but it happened.
Am I stronger today because of it? Maybe. But probably not quite yet.
Second-wave feminist Carol Hanisch originated the phrase "the personal is political." Hanisch enlightened me on the myth of bra burning and her hopes for the future of feminism, as well as other interesting tidbits. I was inspired and wanted to share with the Hollaback! community. Enjoy!
photo via redstockings.org
Carol Hanisch was one of the original "bra burners." Except she never actually burned her bra. Starting a fire on the boardwalk at the 1968 Miss America Pageant protest in Atlantic City wasn't permitted, but the newspapers still picked it up and the name stuck.
"They should have called us girdle burners. That was much more important than the bras. Those things were so uncomfortable," Hanisch said on the phone from her home in upstate New York.
As a member of the group New York Radical Women, Hanisch was the instigator for that now well-known protest. One of the pioneering feminists of the late 1960s, Hanisch also has local connections to my college town of Gainesville, Florida, (once known as the "Berkeley of the South") as one of the former members of the Gainesville Women's Liberation.
Born and raised on a farm in Iowa, Hanisch wants to correct the assumption that all members of the women's liberation movement were big city, middle-class liberals. She wasn't the only person from a rural, working-class background.
"It's important that people realize that it really did cut across all class. Women of all backgrounds took up the fight."
Hanisch's early interest in feminism stemmed from her involvement in the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the mid-1960s, which "propelled" her entrance into the women's movement.
"I guess it kind of turned my head around," said Hanisch of the racism she witnessed in Mississippi in 1965 and 1966 as a civil rights volunteer.
Her famous statement "The personal is political," is still well-known in feminist circles, though Hanisch admits the phrase has become distorted since its inception.
"People think that anything they do is political and feel they don't need to get involved in a movement. We were all movement. Couldn't change anything unless women united and worked together in a united way."
She still has hope for the movement. Though there's been a huge backlash against women's liberation, Hanisch believes issues like abortion, violence, and even general respect for women (Hollaback!) all need to be worked on. She thinks SlutWalks are a good example of what the movement needs, although she's not sure she likes the name.
As for feminism ever thriving on college campuses?
"It certainly could," Hanisch said. "It just needs some leadership and some courage."
I was walking back to my apartment downtown after a grocery run when I passed a parked car. I was tired from the walk, carrying my heavy bags of groceries and just wanted to get home. But as I walked past the car, I heard a guy's voice saying, "You're hot." He said something before that but I wasn't paying attention and missed it. Before I could even turn around to see where the catcall was coming from, a girl in the driver's seat shouted, "Hey! My brother's talking to you!" as if that made me obligated to respond in some way.
I wish I could've thought of something to say back, but I was really taken off-guard and just wanted to get home. It made me really upset for a few reasons. First, I find catcalling to be degrading, misogynistic and generally a tool men use to assert dominance and make females feel small. But I was especially upset because the girl in the driver's seat, his sister, was an accomplice in the harassment of a fellow woman. I don't know if this girl has to deal with street harassment on a daily basis the way I do, but it pained me that she would encourage his behavior instead of scolding him for his disrespect toward me and women in general. In addition, I take offense to the idea that just because a man is talking to me that I am somehow obliged to listen. Give me a break. Was I supposed to just stand there with my armful of groceries in the middle of the night and take his BS because it's my place to do so as a woman?
In the end, I just kept walking and tuned the two out. I wish I could have thought of something to hollaback.
Also, this was just a few minutes after a guy in a big truck honked his horn at me and stuck his head out of the window of his car to smile at me suggestively. Twice in one night, and to have a girl encourage her brother? Gross.
Today I was harassed. My harasser thought he was doing me a favour by slapping my ass and telling me how good I looked in my shorts. "It's a compliment!" He said.
I asked him if he liked harassing women. I asked him if it made him feel like a bigger person to belittle me without knowing anything about me, my opinions, my life. "It was JUST a compliment!" He said.
I told him his version of a compliment was fucked in all directions. I told him that this wouldn't go under the rug, like so many experiences like this I've had before.
He started walking away, I was making a big scene. I started stopping women on University Ave, asking them if they have ever been harassed by this man? None were, and if they were they never told me. I yelled to sisters further up the street to watch out for that 45 year old in the orange shirt with the beer gut. "He harasses women!" I screamed.
He slinked around the corner and away, tail between his legs.
I am livid, hurt, vulnerable and in desperate need of reassurance
This shouldn't have to happen…to anyone!
If it wasn't for Hollaback! I would have never had the guts to stand up and say something. I hope this humiliation is something he carries with him everywhere he goes…

We stayed in the Sunrise Suite for 8 days. The grounds are very well kept and clean, including the pool. The unit is very spacious for the dollar if you are looking for a home away from home. The only downside for us was the staircase going up stairs is very narrow with wide open slats and we have a 2 year old. Not too big of a deal, just always had to be aware of her playing on the stairs and we'd have to block it at night to assure she wouldn't attempt them. The caretaker Sophie was wonderful, she always made sure that we were taken care of. We enjoyed many nights barbequing on the provided grill and enjoying the pool and bar area. The beach wasn't too far of a walk and the bus is easy to catch. Nice and quiet neighborhood where you feel like you're on vacation and most of all, safe. My only suggestion would be the bathroom, the plastic shower curtain should have been replaced as well as the bathroom rugs. It could have used more shelving as with two women, we carry a lot of toiletries :-). I would definitely recommend to family and friends. We will be back!
Hi Everybody,
we moved overseas from Germany in June 2010 (Sorry Janet for this late comment)...
It was a beautiful house and it is only a ten min walk to the beach.
By taking a Jitney (bus at bahamas) Nassau, the amazing Paradise Island and Love Beach are close by. Janet is such a friendly and nice host and we enjoyed our stay so so much.
Think we will see us again in one or two years...arrrgh, why is this paradise so far away from Europe...
Anyway Greetings T and K
My boyfriend and I are extremely picky and cautious travelers and didn't want to spend half our mortgage/night to stay at one of the fancy resorts but were nearly terrified of renting a private space. Oh my Gosh!! The Brownstone was heavenly! Janet was warm and welcoming. The room was extremely clean, contemporary with an island flavor. The art and furnishings were beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice, which is the opposite of what we expected. The location is perfectly in the middle of all we wanted (Love Beach, airport, Paradise Island Arawak Cay). The car rental was super convenient. We were just looking for a safe place to rest and shower and planned to be out most of the time. But we were in no rush in the mornings to leave and coming in after a long day was wonderful. We actually spent time cozied up on the couch watching TV before dozing off to sleep. The breeze and natural light is refreshing. This was surely a home away from home. We'd rather stay here than anywhere else on the island.
we had a good time on our vac...the propery was clean and well maintained ect....the owner janet brown did give great customer service...i would recommend this property to anyone...all u do is email her or call her and she will help with ur stay there...
This was the best vacation rental I have stayed in! Janet and her wonderful family made us feel relaxed and at home for our ten day stay in the Bahamas. The property is very well maintained and is in a safe, well located residential community. It's just a short walk to the beach or to catch the #10 bus that takes you to everywhere you'd want to go in Nassau. I would highly recommend this (and her other four properties) to anyone going to Nassau :)
Rented the suite for 2 weeks and have not one bad word to say about it!! Everything you could need is to hand. Nice quiet location in residential area just short walk to the beach. Walked into Nassau many times and the fish fry but the 'jinty' bus is great for getting about. Hired the car which could not have been easier and very convienent being on site.Cabbage beach on Paradise Island is amazing! Food at the fish fry is excellent and good value. Janet was very helpfull to us when British Airways cancelled our flight and we had to stay another night with no notice,Thanx again!! Had a great time and would reccomend highly!!

Facebook is updating its ad algorithm in an attempt to improve the relevance and quality of ads shown to users. The social network will put more emphasis on feedback, such as how often users hide or report an ad.
Facebook is attempting to make News Feed ads even more relevant to users.
"When deciding which ad to show to which groups of people, we are placing more emphasis on feedback we receive from people about ads, including how often people report or hide an ad," Facebook said in its announcement.
Facebook said advertisers will reap the benefits.
"If someone always hides ads for electronics, we will reduce the number of those types of ads that we show to them." Facebook added that it's "ultimately better for marketers, because it means their messages are reaching the people most interested in what they have to offer."
Facebook said advertisers could see some distribution variation on ads in the coming weeks while the News Feed algorithm change rolls out.
This announcement is just one of many planned News Feed algo updates as the company promises to be more transparent about how it serves content.

Top Definition
A Payday Fighter, also known simply as an "Opponent"; is a fighter that will take any fight and doesn't care whether He/She wins or loses. Often times used to add wins to a marque fighter's record. These types of fighters can be spotted by their records, which often times have a low Win-to-Lose ratio. Example; 5 wins, 20 loses.
I heard So-And-So has a record of 55-0-40. Yeah but most of those fights are against Payday fighters, so they don't count.

Emma was born with a very rare genetic IQ Deletion Syndrome and a serious heart condition.

Since her birth, Emma has been at Children's Memorial, and her parents are hopeful she will be home by mid-November.
The family is asking for the community's support to help with the medical bills, and Emma's future medical needs. Please find it in your heart to help this young family in their time of need.

Doesn't actually sew
I chose Singer because it has been a good brand, but I was very disappointed, as the machine doesn't actually sew two pieces of fabric together, as there is only threading from the top! This makes no sense; I took it to my local fabric store and the very experienced lady there was just as befuddled! Sent it back and hope I will get a full refund as well as my 2 year warranty money back.Read More
Don't waste your money.
It does not work. Bad quality and workmanship. I would not recommend this to anyone. The price was great but if it does not work then were is the value?Read More
Terrible devise
I wouldn't purchase this item it is complicated and barely works. Spend a few more dollars for an actual sewing machine.Read More
hand held sewing machine
for the price it does what it says. it would be handy to have the power converter the thing eats batteries like a remote control car. Other than the fact it eats 4 AA batteries in about 6 feet of sewing it works good.Read More
Small and Simple
Small and simple handy sewing machine works good. It would have been great if it is equipped with cables for external power connectivity.Read More
Compact sewing machine sews stuff acceptably
It's small, and good for minor repairs, but the seams aren't as strong as they are in larger sewing machines. I have to make multiple passes to get what I consider a solid, strong seam. For the price and the very rare occasions I need a sewing machine it's IDEAL! Also, I have very fast feet. This fact is undisputed.Read More
Seriously, this is worthless. I sent it back the same day I got it. Thread kept breaking and it would not sew through a very thin velvet.Read More

Much more practical than pulling out the big machine. So easy to handle. Sews as well as the bigger ones too.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello msree, yes you could sew pillows with this. Have a great day!
Does the unit have a bobbin winder built in or do I need to find another machine to put thread on the bobbins? Also, in the reviews, a couple of people complained that it doesn't plug into AC power but below I see Q&As about an AC adapter. Is there a plug-in for an adapter? If so, is it easy to find where one can be ordered?
Hello mtnerd, this does not have a bobbin winder built in to this machine. There is a plug in for an AC adapter. You can order an AC adapter here: http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=ac+adapter&taxonomy=sto2&ralt=sto3,sto4,sto5&TID=AR:TRUE&searchtype=Header - I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
This machine works for sewing bottom?
Hello thais1, if i understand this question correctly, this machine will not sew on buttons. Thank you for your interest. Shelia B
is the power adapter specific or will a normal 6 volt ac adapter fit it?
Yes, it will work a normal AC adapter.
Can one use a ordinary spool of thread? Need a neutral color, not the strong colors shown with the machine.
Yes, it can be used with a standard spool of thread – it comes with a spool adapter that will accommodate spools up to 2 inches in height.
Will this machine work for replacing a fringe on an oriental rug?
It depends on the thickness of the rug and its trim. The clearance is only about 1/8 of an inch. If the project is thicker than that, it won''t fit into the machine. The machine is not designed for heavy, nontraditional materials. We cannot guarantee if this item will work for that purpose.
Do you sell the optional A/C adapter?
We do not sell the adapter. I am sorry
Do the machine come with the users guide
Yes, this comes with instructions.
