 C-Line 52584 Clear photo holders for 8, 3-1/2 x 5 photos, 3-hole punched, 11-1/4x8-1/2, 50/bx $12.56 I ordered a few boxes of these so I could take my photos out of the old sticky page photo albums. I was very satisfied with the quality of these photo holders. Nice to know my family photos are not going to ruin by being stuck to the old photo album pages. Photos are easy to insert into the pages, pages are a good quality and fit into standard photo albums. Very good product!  Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In Stitches $161.49 GENERAL: I have had some issues with the bottom thread getting bunched up and gathering up the fabric as I sew. The material/fabric has actually gotten stuck down into where the needle goes up and down. This has happened only a handful of times, hence the three stars. For basic, occasional needs, the machine usually performs fine and is really user-friendly. The bobbin is easy to load (one of my pet peeves!), the sewing is smooth and the machine is pretty quiet. It's also light-weight which is great for me because I don't have a devoted place to leave it out. I keep mine on a shelf above the washer and dryer and it stores easily and I don't have any trouble moving it around when I have a project. MORE DETAIL: I have never been able to fix the bunching issue, I just have to take a break and walk away for a while (sometimes minutes, sometimes days) and try again. I've tried adjusting everything there is to adjust and nothing seems to work. I've also been online looking for fixes and referred to the manual. Only once has the bunching issue been catastrophic (I hemmed all the dresses for my sister's wedding and that's when it went haywire on me! One layer of a bridesmaid dress was very sheer and it actually tore the material! I was in a time-crunch and ultimately had to borrow someone else's machine). I got this machine for Christmas a few years ago. I do not do any specialty sewing.
