Best Sewing Interfacing

Thermoweb 17-Inch by 5-Yard Heat'n Bond Ultra Hold Iron-On Adhesive
It uses a low temperature and short pressing time so it allows for a wider range of materials that can be bonded.
Reviews
"Also, in the end when I pull the exterior of the bag through the hole in the lining to turn the bag right side out the glue holds and the fabric and interfacing do not separate. When it is stiff like that there is a lot of folding and pulling to get the exterior through the hole in the bottom of the lining fabric."
"This is a great product."
"I used the product combined with some cheaper 100% cotton fabric to make book cloth, which is historically expensive."
"This is super-quality stuff but it is fairly firm on the fabric when applied."
"I used this to bond counted cross stitch and heavier needlepoint Christmas ornaments to felt."
"Worked really well, and it's not too stiff which I'm sure the baby mama will appreciate when it comes to dressing her baby with the creations."
"To make them more personal, I bought these patches online."
"This was my first ever applique project and I found thr thermoweb extremely easy to use."

Scissors are ideal for paper, cardboard, lightweight line, fabric and other materials. Titanium bonded blades are 3X harder than stainless steel; blades stay sharper longer.
Reviews
"I’ve owned this brand before growing up and they always stayed relatively sharp and rarely ever broke."
"I, unfortunately, used their predecessor to cut wire, pry things out of spaces, succumbing to things no scissor should have to endure."
"I need scissors in every room to save time doing stuff."
"I like that they come as a set (or 2 to a package) because there are several places in the house where they are useful and can always be in reach, like my Study and the kitchen counter, which my husband thinks is his Study!"
"Well, it's been three months and they work just fine, but I discovered the other day that the plastic covering the handle behind the hinge on the pair in the kitchen draw is broken. Updated, 3/12/17: My wife tried to trim some threads on the edge of an old dish towel this morning and the second pair of scissors broke into two pieces when the plastic holding the pivot screw snapped."
"Scissors broke in two pieces because the center pivot is plastic instead of metal."
"If you are a left-handed person you know how hard it is to find good comfortable left-handed pair of scissors that work properly. It was a simple plastic package, and without offering any resistance one of the blades simply came of, broken in two pieces."
"I was thrilled at first but soon realized the reason after receiving the product - it has been turned into a cheap product, much different from the original."

Reviews
"Eventually, without notice except from me, the entire container and pins were soon to the west end of coffee table, about halfway still on the table. When asked what she had been doing, she replied she had just been sitting there wondering why I never moved the container and pins and exactly how did I think I would ever get them all picked up."
"Unfortunately, they do not protect the pins from idiot cats, some of whom like to steal pins."
"I love this magnetic pin cushion."
"I carry my needlepoint all over my house and patio, shedding needles as I go."

Reviews
"My dog chewed an ugly hole in the couch and even the wood frame was exposed."
"There was no way I could pull the vinyl together, so one definitely can tell I am covering a rip and I'll be curious to see if it stops it from ripping further."
"So after a year or two of jumping on that couch a couple of the seam split about 6 in I was originally thinking of just tossing the couch and getting a new one cuz that's what we had planned but I figured I'd give these a shot to postpone that."
"The leather patch is a quality product, easily attached to cover rips in our lounge chair."
"I used this product the 1st time I ordered it to patch sections of the seat and it worked really well."
"This is exactly what I needed to fix the headrest on my leather recliner."
"glad it was a small area and in one that isn't noticeable because the color was a little off but who expects a perfect color match."

Best Sewing Dress Forms & Mannequins

Dritz Sew You Dress Form, Small
Sew You Dress Form, Size Small, allows you to personalize the form to match your body measurements. 9 adjusting wheels at bust, waist and hips and 2 auto-set dials at bust and waist.
Reviews
"For anyone looking for exact measurements for the small sized dress form, they are as follows: Bust: 33" to 40". Waist: 26" to 33". Hips: 36" to 42". Back Waist Length: 15" to 17". Neck: 14" to 17". I'm providing this information because I'd googled around for it for nearly half an hour and couldn't find anything, then I called Amazon.com customer service to see if they could find this information for me, and they couldn't, in fact the first representative actually disconnected the call, but the second representative that I spoke with, Natalie, convinced me to go through with the purchase, she even upgraded my shipping to next day, and called me after it was delivered to follow up to make sure that it was what I wanted."
"Admittedly that Matilda had ugly fabric on her, but we used to have fun dressing her up with new slip covers. Ever since I left the shop I have been dreaming about buying a Matilda (or something similar), but they are very expensive and I just can't wait any longer. She spins, (I would argue that she does not pin), she's lightweight (Matilda was NOT), she's a lovey shade of emerald, and her feet do not scratch my wood floors. Yesterday I dropped her all the way down, and beaded the bodice on a wedding gown while sitting comfortably in a chair. Cons: She's mostly plastic, which might not hold up long term especially with my workload (yesterday she had 3 different wedding gowns on her, today will be worse). I'm going to make a couple of padded sleeves to pull down over her, so the gaping holes don't offend my (larger than a size 2) brides and I can pin fabric to her. I wish she had wheels, because I move her around all the time, and I have to be careful not to drag her because the torso pulls off the pole rather easily."
"On mine, I put one of my older bras and stuffed it with pairs of pantyhose until I achieved the breast size I needed. It allows you to also adjust the torso length, which is not really an issue for me (I'm very short) but I know is concerning with other women who have issues getting waistlines on dresses to fit at their natural waist rather than inadvertently becoming an empire waist. You may still need to do some adjustments to get your exact body shape, but that is to be expected with any dress form."

Best Stuffing & Polyester Fill

Fairfield PF-10 Poly-Fil Premium Fiber
Size: 10 LBS. Made from 100 Percent recycled polyester fiber.
Reviews
"The box came today, and I spent about 30 minutes filling the 9 pillow backs, pushing the fill into corners and in general re-plumping each (I realized partway through that I should take a before photo, hence only part of the sofa appears in the B/A photo). I didn't take out the filling that was already in there because it was fine other than being squished from years of use, and still ended up using the entire 10 pound box."
"Great product, perfect for small projects and large (I'm on my 2nd box)."
"This is a great value, I have many projects planned with this box!"
"The footprint of this box is 15" x 16" and the box is 19" high."
"I've done a six foot sofa, a chair and a half and added fill to ten throw pillows...I still have almost 3/4 of the box left."
"I just got the Bonded Dacron to wrap the inner stuffing with and I can't wait for the results. This has been a great experience and I can only speak for myself on how great an idea it is to save a couch."
"When I needed to re-up, I decided to look on Amazon (as I usually do) to see if I could get it at a better price."
"If you're looking to make dolls or other stuffed toys, I would say that the quality of this stuffing is definitely up to the task."
