 Met My Expectations August 26, 2010

Initially I was a little hesitant to purchase this item after reading the poor reviews... however I felt that the price couldn't be beaten if this machine only performed half as well as advertised. Well, it performs just the way that I'd hoped. I had no problems with various thicknesses of fabric, however I think the key is to treat the process carefully. Excessive pushing and pulling on the fabric while needle felting can possibly cause the needles to break. Also, one should be very mindful to set the fabric thickness opening to the right measure (there are three thicknesses, thin, medium and heavy).
Great fun at a great price! September 7, 2010

I'm a crafter who's always willing to try something new. I have some experience with needle felting by hand, and was thrilled to find this machine at this price.
Yes, I broke needles - but only after I pushed the machine to its limit in stacking layers of fabric. I found that what works best when starting is to keep the MACHINE speed FAST (pedal to the metal), and MOVE THE FABRIC SLOWly. Also, wait a second after you take your foot off the pedal and allow the needles to stop in the "needle up" (raised) position - then pull the fabric away from the machine. Pulling the fabric out of the machine while the needles are still down is the fastest way to break needles.
Being able to use different needle configurations is very helpful.
5 needles are great for felting large areas, but 3 needles do a nice job on smaller areas, and give you more control. This is a great machine for using up all sorts of scrap fabrics, The machine comes with roving, and it makes a great "glue" between layers of the more slippery synthetic fabrics.
Take the time to experiment first, it will pay off when it's time to make that "special" piece.
 It's exactly what I expected July 16, 2010

I wasn't looking for something that will needlepunch a rug, or run over heavy seams. This machine does exactly what I wanted it to do - develop textured fiber art from all types of fabrics and fiber embellishment materials. I think you have to be careful with the machine and the needles, but I found a reasonably priced source for needles, even tho I've not yet broken any. And my source has different weight needles, as well, not just the lighter-weight ones. I think I will use the machine a lot in my artwork - wonderful tool for the price!
 Embellishing machine is not all that!! April 7, 2010

I purchased the machine and am sorry now. Have had it too long to send it back. Needles are $[...] for 5 needles from Singer. [...] does not carry them any longer. It's not worth the money but I'll use it someday for some light fabric. Needles are very flimsy and thin.
 Do not buy! February 22, 2010

Needles are too fragile and very expensive to replace. Not only that, time consuming to replace. Works fine on thin items, but needles break when embellishing trims, ribbons, etc. I have used about 6 times and replaced 18 needles trying to attach embellishments. Needles should be made in light, medium and heavy weights. I am an experienced sewer, and I know I am not abusing machine.
