My Mom just sent over the tapes for the Ab rocket she gave DS1, and realized we could set up our own mini gym. We have: The Ab Rocket- from Mom An exercise bike- from Mom A VERY expensive complete body workout machine that is my DH from before we were married. LOL, he hasn't used it since we...

~I still haven't learned my lesson about replacing my needles before they break so I had to spend 30 minutes yesterday dislodging a broken needle and wad of bunched up fabric from under my serger presser foot. While I was in there I realized how linty and yucky my machine looked inside so I...

I have been looking at Pasta Machines and reading reviews, comparing prices, etc. For those of you who use one and are happy with it, I would love to hear about yours. The brand, what attachments it comes with, if any, and what you like/don't like about it. Thanks!

I've been wondering why for the last few months why my towels don't smell fresh. Today I had to wash a load of icky DH work clothes. It left a bunch of leaves and whatnot along the top of the agitator. As I started to wipe it off, I uncovered a whole new box of scariness:box: I found these tips...

I have an old (from the 70's) Montgomery Ward sewing machine. It works fine for my purposes, but I need to get an attachment for it. I want to buy a good quality invisible zipper foot. I tried the cheap plastic attachment that Clark makes, and it broke already (piece of [email protected], IMO). Since these...

Okay, you were all quite helpful about the intermediate machine for me, I'm curious if anyone has any experience with children's machines for dd. She's quite interested, and I thought I'd look into it and come to the experts for advice! :)

DD had a 2 hour delay today which messes with my day because we live a distance from the school. No point really going home since I need to be at the school in a few hours... To occupy my time, I stopped in to the local craft store. I bought some yarn and a book... I know.... I know... paying...

Hi Everyone, I'm getting ready to downsize and sell off things that I am not using. I picked up a bread machine at a garage sale a year ago. I have not used it (it even came with a book). Is it cost effective to use the machine? I often buy good multi-grain bread at Costco - 2 loaves for...

I am soon to be in the market for a new washing machine, and am slowly saving the money for it. Do you think it is worthwhile to buy a front-loader vs a top-loader? The front-loaders are so much more expensive than the top-loaders, but they use about 2 1/2 times less energy and half as much...

Embroidery machines - does anyone have one? Are they worth it? Which one do you like best? Should you buy this one new or can you find good ones used? I have been wanting one, but cannot decide if it really is as good as I think it would be. Thanks for all of your help & input. Dawn

I got a Chefmate bread machine from freecycle. It was free but it needs a dough paddle. The paddle costs $19.50 plus shipping and I can only find one source and that's on ebay. Does anyone have another bread machine parts source I can compare prices on the paddle? Also, there's rust on the...

I got one at a garage sale for $2, but I don't know WHAT TO DO WITH IT!!! I've done a lot of internet research, but haven't found any thing on HOW to use an old manual machine. It's a "Studio SK-101" which was actually made by Singer (in about 1962). It's a long steel apparatus with 200...

What type did you use??? We've had the newer touch screen machines in my area for awhile now. I really like them fast and easy.

Ok, here is a question for all of you that have a carpet cleaner. My Dirt Devil just took a crap and I would like to buy a new one. I was leaning towards a Bissell Proheat Steam Cleaner. I would love to hear what you guys think of your machines and if you have any advice about what to buy. Traci
