Would you recommend the 45mm or the 60 mm? I'm wanting to sew pillows, aprons, curtains, dog pads, and slipcovers.

The 45 was a little small for thick fabrics. It did not make it thru 2 layers of quilted fabric.

I believe the major difference is the width of the 60 - it's wider to accomodate more line. Go to Penn's website and you can probably compare them side-by-side.

I have a 40 inch and 50 inch. The 40 inch is too small while the 50 inch is great. I don't know how much difference there is between the 46 inch and the 50 inch but there is a huge difference between the 40 and 50 inch. If there is not too much difference in the price I would suggest the 50 inch. I am very happy with that.

As I recall,for a 45 degree cut,you'd premark the cut,pick the proper fitting and go for it.You have very good control,trim material is soft wood or plastic and there is a cutter that will do that quite well.

Hi! If the lip of your bottle has ridges or groves you'll want the 48mm. If the lip is smooth then the 55mm is the one to get.

My comment would be that for the 85mm, the minimum focus distance is pretty far away and pretty zoomed in for indoors. I would think the 60mm will give more flexibility especially for shots of the baby close up and baby plus mom

I used it for a 60mm blade and it worked nicely. I have not used it on the 45mm or 28mm, but I certainly plan to do so.

I started with .5mm, then 1mm and currently am using 1.5mm. The "discomfort" gets a little worse as you move up to a longer needle length, but doing it in steps makes it a little easier.

I personally would go with the 18-105mm. It is more "flexible." Hope this helps.

Both works fine. But I think a 24mm focal length is too angular for these uses. I would go for the 40 mm.

It really depends on the size filters/lens that you have or want to use. I have a ton of 58mm lenses so that is why I bought this one. I imagine that they both are of good quality but again, it's all about what size lens you are going to be using.

Hopefully, you've already made your decision since the prices of both lenses has gone up significantly. I have these two lenses and both lenses are incredibly sharp. The 60mm's IQ in many respects is indistinguishable from the 100mm's. The build quality of the 60 is very nice as well although it isn't weather sealed. The two main advantages the 100mm brings to the table are IS--which would be of limited value with the 60mm--, and length--the extra 40mm means you don't need to get as close to those creepy crawly critters. IS doesn't add much for shorter focal lengths. A lot of macro shooters claim IS doesn't matter regardless because they always shoot with a tripod. I shoot with a tripod only when I have to (I'm stubborn). Thus, I do like it on the 100mm. I really see the value when I switch to my 135L. The shake is quite obvious and would be just a bit better for the 100mm without IS. The added length is indisputably worthwhile. However, you have to determine whether these benefits are worth paying 2.5 times the price.

I got 49 mm, fits good.....50mm might work...............40mm is way too small!

I got the 40mm Micro lens over the 35mm and I am really happy with the purchase. It cost about $80 more but it does more. That being said, I have the 35mm on the wish list even though it will be horribly redundant. The 40mm Micro has so drawbacks but it does get you in close. I don't know how the 35mm could be sharper but lots of reviews comparing the two indicate it can be depending on subject matter. This is probably a topic people make themselves crazy with so I will probably buy some peace for $200 by getting the 35mm lens sooner than later.

I would go with the 19mm... I've got both and the 30mm is a little bit too "long"... I use the 30mm for portraits and the 19mm for all yhe rest. :)

It depends on a couple of things. First, how strong is your interest in sewing? This may sound stupid, but if you are not sure you are going to enjoy the art of sewing I would buy the least expensive thing possible that will still yield good results. That is what I did. The Sewist 500 fit the bill perfectly for me to learn how to sew. It is basic and mechanical, so it is virtually indestructible for novice sewers. However, after about a year, I realized the machine was not going to meet my needs for the long term. At that point, I began investigating alternatives and purchased a mid-arm Juki that is specifically for quilting. I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do and does it beautifully. So, the second part for you to consider is what is your sewing interest and how accomplished are you? If you are a novice and are uncertain, then stick with the Sewist. It is very much a generalist machine. Does it have 30 different stitches? No. Do you need 30 different stitches? Not unless you plan to do embroidery. If that is your plan, you may find you outgrow the 8077 pretty quickly, too. If you already have an interest established, look for the machine that best sets you up to follow that passion. I also highly recommend going to fabric stores etc to test machines. Don't just read about them online and then buy. Seriously, each one has a different personality. Find the one that fits you.

i have a 450, 20 inch. I've bought several from HD, these are much better, cleaner cut and so far have lasted longer.
