So I am going to try to continue posting about some of the products I saw and used at the CHA Trade Show.
I am going to start with the Memory Keepers “Sew Easy” Product, here is a photo of the products that they are selling under the Sew Easy Label:
So they have the Stitch Piercer and 6 different heads, a mat, needles, and floss.
First of all this product does not pierce the paper at all, it only makes an indent, also the heads that you put on it to help you make other stitches seem to make very similar marks. I tried to make it pierce the paper for about 5 minutes and then I asked the demonstrator if it was supposed to make holes or just indents and he said it was made to make indents.
So it’s misleading in my opinion as it is marketed as a piercer. Also the needles are the same as regular embroidery needles and the floss is just embroidery floss nothing more nothing less. You could buy all 3 colors in more quantity for a heck of a lot less money.
Honestly I wouldn’t spend my money on this item, I like the Bazzill Basics In Stitch’z templates for sewing better, they are plastic and have holes in them where you take a pencil or pen and mark through the hole onto the paper, then you sew with a regular embroidery needle and DMC embroidery floss that costs .37 for 8.7 yards.
These come in tons of patterns including the basic ones like cross stitch and blanket stitch, and they also come in cute patterns like dogs and cats.
So I would get the Bazzill templates and pass on the Sew Easy I just don’t think it’s worth it for what it does or should I say what it doesn’t do.

Thanks for the heads up on the Sew Easy. I am disappointed to hear that it doesn’t live up to the name. You saved me $$$…I appreciate that.

Thank you so much for the advice–I was just about to purchase this item because I love the way “sewn” cards look. I am still looking for a “machine” that can do cards–any advice? 🙂
As a reply to LYRI: If you still want to purchase this item, you can find it at Archivers.
