Sew Easy Versus Sew Ribbon?

I have purchased, awhile ago, the Sew Ribbon sets from We R Memory Keepers. There is a thing about 6" long, like a chip clip for your potato chips, you clip on the paper, then run the piercer through that, then "thread" the ribbon and "sew" it on the pattern- I haven't actually used it yet, but plan to try soon. Anyway, I see ACOT has Sew Easy, various patterns, on sale for cheap. What's the difference between the two? Anyone have experience with both? Thank you.

I believe the difference is the sew ribbon punches holes/slots and you thread ribbon through. The sew easy is a head you attach to a handle and as you roll it along it pierces holes in a shape and then you thread floss thorough.

I have the Sew Easy but don't use it much. I just don't think of it very often. And I don't have the Sew Ribbon. Shannon was right in the difference between the two.

I have both, haven't used either, but I want to one day when I find the right layout to use them on.

I have the sew easy too and never use it. Almost as much work as actually sewing. Just get a template and draw your stitching on. lol

I have both and love them both! Which one I use is depending on if I want a stitched look or ribbon on my pages. I probably use the Sew Easy more though. I bought the attachment that lets you stitch in circles and I use it this way a lot for some background interest and texture.
