About & Editorial Methodology

About us

Craft Room Guide publishes independent comparison guides and buying guides for cutting machines, sewing machines, embroidery machines, crochet equipment and craft organization. The site is owned and edited by Sam. We are not owned by, sponsored by or affiliated with any manufacturer we cover.

How we research

  1. Official sources first. Specifications, list prices and warranty terms come from the manufacturer's own product pages, spec sheets, manuals and warranty documents. Authorized retailer listings are used only as a labeled secondary source.
  2. Everything is cited and dated. Each guide lists its sources and the date we last checked them. When a manufacturer doesn't publish a detail, we say "not listed" rather than guess.
  3. No fabricated testing. Unless a guide explicitly describes testing we actually did, our comparisons are based on published specifications and verified feature differences. We don't claim to have used, measured or "tested" products we haven't.
  4. No fake ratings. We don't publish star ratings, scores or reviewer quotes we didn't gather, and we don't add review markup to pages.
  5. Human approval. Research and drafting may use software tools, including AI assistance. Every article is reviewed and approved by a human editor before publication.
  6. Prices change. We re-check prices before publishing and on a regular refresh schedule. Always confirm the current price with the retailer.

Correction policy

If you find a factual error, contact us with the page and the source. We verify reports against the manufacturer's official information, correct confirmed errors promptly, and update the page's "last verified" date.
