What can I say ... it's sewing machine oil. It is indeed water white, odorless, and of the right viscosity for the oil reservoirs, pumps, and wicking systems of most industrials as well as dropper use for virtually any home machine. A direct replacement for the horrendously expensive Juki Defrix #1. | 5 |
This is the handiest tool for threading those "large eye" needles. I am very new at beading, and really was struggling to try and thread those 'large eye ' needles, I saw this and knew I at least had to try it, and its super, super. super.
I highly recommend it. | 5 |
great product - especially for the price (for what I got it) | 5 |
I use this product to thin cheap or thick acrylic paints for washes. It works wonderfully in place of water. Water unfortunately spreads the binding particles of the paints and it doesn't make them archival. Some artists have reported their painting falling off its canvas and the like even on treated canvas. So now if I want to really make a nice thinned out paint to wash with I use the satin glazing fluid by Golden. I find it works wonders for this particular thing. I also use airbrush fluids. This particular product is amazing in its implementation. A little does go a long way, and golden and most of its products are wonderfully manufactured. It's a great bargain for what it does. | 5 |
Very thick fabric, as described, love it. | 5 |
These canvases are very nice for the price- they are even, but have tooth, and are sturdy. I'd definitely purchase canvases by this brand again. | 5 |
Glad I got these I replaced all my old backs , these are so fresh and new . | 5 |
I ordered these and must say I went in with average expectations and they pretty much met that. These grips fit most of my hooks but don't offer much added comfort. They are more of a grab bag when it comes to placing on hooks as there is no indication of what size they are for. That said I made them work, I cut the end just barely enough and forced the hook through. They work but my suggestion is look elsewhere or just make your own. | 4 |
I needed this blade for my new cutting machine and the price was the best. | 5 |
Paint Brush Set - 7 Travel Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, Gouche and Plein Air Painting - Ultra Short Handle - Professional Artist Carry Case - 1 Year Warranty - Art Supplies by MyArtscape (Black)
Review from Jeannies Product Reviews
This arrived well packed along with some other items in a secure box. As an artist Im always interesting in art equipment so was delighted to get these for review.
Handy little travel set containing seven versatile brushes. The holder is sturdy and theres also a wipe clean out holder for keeping everything dry if you're outside and the rain starts. BTW rain adds some interesting effects to watercolours, one of those happy accidents I discovered. Learn by doing is my motto AKA the trial and error method! Add in one of those pocket paint box sets anda small paint pad and youve everything you need to paint pleinair.
I like that the tips of the rounds ones come easily to a point making them excellent for sharp lines and definition. Thats very important. The angled and square ends gave a good sharp outline, and all the brushes picked up the paint well. As with anything you get what you pay for, and these aren't going to be as good as pure sable brushes that can cost as much as this set ( or more!) for just one brush, but for most artists these are excellent value and produce very decent quality results. I use watercolours and keep my very few sables for those, never for oils or acrylics because they can be hard on brushes, especially if like me you tend to work large and use texture.
Ive shown on a chart some quick ad hoc experiments I did with these with watercolour paint against my round sable brush and a good quality square end brush, and you can see theres very little difference. ( To be fair my brushes have also been heavily used, I'm an enthusiastic artist and my poor brushes get some harsh treatment, so the sableis showing signs of wear at the tip). Id be happy to use these brushes for my artworks.
The sellers also gave me some useful brush care FAQ.
Q: What should I do when I get my set?
A: Always wash your brushes with warm water and a mild soap before using them for the first time. The brushes are coated with a water-soluble treatment for their protection during transit. Washing them will remove the coating and prepare them for their first use.
Q: How should I clean my brushes?
A: Wipe off excess paint from the brush using a towel or rag
Rinse off the remaining oil paint with odourless thinner or mineral spirits.
Rinse off the remaining acrylic/watercolour paint with lukewarm water and mild soap.
Repeat washing and rinsing the brush until the water runs clear.
Shake or wipe off excess water.
Using your fingers, gently reshape the brush head back into its original form.
Dry the brush, handle and ferrule by using a brush stand or the provided holder. Then store them in the holder.
Q: How can I lengthen the lifespan of my brushes?
A: Always clean your brushes immediately after use.
Never allow paint to dry on the brushes.
Never leave the brushes soaking in water for a long time.
Never stand the brushes on their heads.

My previous glue gun drove me crazy as it would not advance the glue sticks. I made sure that I purchased a completely different brand and this is the one I chose. I love it. It advances the glue sticks just fine, occasionally some glue will drip but not enough to be a problem.. I always set my glue gun on a ceramic tile anyway. It is very lightweight and this causes it to tip over. I found a couple of large washers in my husband's tool box and glued them inside the base (plenty of room). They give just the right amount of weight to stabilize the gun. | 5 |
perfect for xmass good quality | 5 |
I was using this to make my regular acrylic paints more suitable for fabric and it worked very nicely. I was painting some keds for my sister as a christmas gift so I needed to find a way to be able to paint on fabrics without having to resort to puffy paints or chalky fabric paints. I used it as directed and basically treated the paint/medium mixtures as I would usually treat acrylics. Something to remember though, when you mix the medium with the acrylics, the mixture appears to be a lighter color, but when it dries the color is how it originally looks without the medium in it. That being said, I found it was easier to mix my colors first before adding the medium. Also keep in mind that this medium didn't wash out the color or make it look translucent or anything like that. When the paint dries on the fabric, I found that the fabric and paint were still flexible. The paint is still going to feel like dry paint, kind of like a screen printing, but it's still flexible and it isn't going to flake or peel with regular wear and tear. As for the waterproof aspect, I can't really say. I sprayed a shoe protector on to of the shoes I painted in order to preserve the artwork, but I'm assuming it isn't going to wash off considering it's acrylic. | 5 |
Works well.
This product was a personal purchase for myself at the normal retail price. I am reviewing it solely because I want to share my experience with other potential customers. I have received no compensation for my review nor do I have any relationship with the seller or manufacturer of this product. | 4 |
Love this, cuts easily, makes beautiful flowers | 5 |
This is the sizes to use for making low matted quilts. I can use these to make a crib blanket. Thanks. | 5 |
Big and will hold a lot of paper but this was really really hard to put together. I couldn't tell which part was the top which was the back. And I literally had to take a hammer to it to push the pieces into the slots. It's all put together but not satisfied it fits correctly. It's also TOO big to fit the IKEA shelves I have and so it has to sit on top. Kind of a bummer but I'm planning to keep it anyway | 3 |
Great color and price. | 5 |
My wife uses these alot. | 5 |
The colors are not as intense as I thought they would be but I'm still experimenting with them. I'm glad I bought this set. | 4 |
Great interchangeable set, though the cables do come undone if you don't use the key to tighten them and I wish they offered smaller size needle tips. I do a lot of work on size 1 and 2 needles and knitpicks has no plans to offer the smaller sizes for their interchangeable sets. | 4 |
This die is vase'tastic!
The design allows the image to be fancy or plain or multi color or clear. It takes the distress dies beautifully which adds even more dimension with the shading. The design lends itself to card for many occasions.
One can use it as a vase or inset like the picture shows. It looks beautiful each time.
I have also stamped on the plain image to change the look and that worked out well also.
It cuts cleanly.
All the recipients have enjoyed cards with the vase on it.
The flowers I have from my punches and other dies work well with it. | 5 |
The handle is about an inch too big for my hand (I'm not a small woman) which makes using the scissors feel awkward. The spring action is nice when opening the scissor but offers resistance when closing it, so it's not as good of a feature as it sounded like it would be. The scissors are very light weight. | 3 |
As a preschool teacher I am always going through the small packages so fast. These big rolls lasted much longer for setting up centers for my classroom. | 5 |
Really beautiful papers--Graphic 45 is usually wonderful, but these are extra special! | 5 |
This is perfect tear away stabilizer for those items which may need a little more support. It is a heavier weight than some may need but it works great for any project that needs a heavier tear away. | 5 |
This is soft acrylic, not harsh or abrasive like some. My biggest complaint is that it is very "splitty" and being soft as it is, it has a tendency to snag if you are not very, very precise with your stitches. Crocheters might not have as big of a problem, but knitters who work with sharp tips (or own cats with claws) may want to steer clear. | 4 |
Love my new crochet hooks with their carrying case.....keeps them all together! | 5 |
Yep, they're plastic pellets. I guess you could get the Michaels brand a bit cheaper, but these seem to be a little better formed if that makes sense. | 5 |
just what I need | 5 |
This is only brand of zippers I buy because you cant beat the quality or the price. Also they have SO MANY colors to choose from. | 5 |
The spacers give your jewelry that special touch & the seller always comes through | 5 |
Love the concept. I use these for beading jewelry.
Pros: beads slide on easily, for faster beading.
Very easy to thread
Cons: needle with thread (fish wire) doesn't always fit through the bead.
If you get a bead stuck, your thread can break.
pulling stuck bead off causes the needle to bend. I've bent the cr@p out of these. | 3 |
I have purchased two of these- each had one bobbin that was malformed and wouldn't allow the bobbin winder arm to fit into the bobbin while loading, so couldn't be used.. Cheaply made, so what do you expect? The ones that fit work just fine. | 3 |
Yes it's flashy but I thought for the price I was getting better quality stones .... My aquamarine is bigger and better for cheaper price than this ! So I was hoping for bigger chunks .... | 3 |
I bought another plastic case for my DMC floss and cross-stitch accessories. It's roomy enough and houses a goodly amount of my thread, beads, etc., but the latch on the box is either too large for the catch or the catch is too small for the latch. It took considerable force to close the lid and lock it down, and the lid is uneven when closed.
While there is sufficient room and the box is sturdy, they need to work on being able to easily and quickly close and lock the box. | 3 |
Not exactly what I was wanting but not bad | 3 |
Another excellent product from Ranger. I use it on many media and am never disappointed in how it covers. Can use it with sponge top or straight from the bottle. I have many colors, all good. | 5 |
As a plus, you get a lot of them for 9 bucks.
The downside is they aren't very shiny, kind of dull, and they don't stick super well. These are pretty much all the core characteristics of a stick-on bling. | 2 |
These blades work as well if not better than the original German Carbide Cricut blade at a way cheaper price. I will definitely order again | 5 |
I ordered the wrong size so it was my fault. A friend needed that size so I gave to her | 3 |
Loved the design and how the tape stuck, didn't like that the roll was very small and didn't have a lot of product on it. | 3 |
Great product, very happy with it. | 5 |
So far I've used a few feet on a 1970's era Singer 360 Fashion Mate just fine. I really like the ankle adapter, however. .The seam guide bar is completely useless since it doesn't fit into the ankle anywhere. What's the point of adding it if it's a useless piece of metal? I thought I just didn't know how to use it but I watched videos, searched, etc., and it is useless. Otherwise, decent set for the price | 3 |
Received the Art Paintbrush Set quickly! It is just as the seller described, nice price and just what I needed! Thanks! | 5 |
Nice for the price. | 4 |
Came quickly! Product as described. | 5 |
This item was not what I expected. The cost was higher then if I bought it at was of Walmart. I was expecting maybe one of the larger balls of yarn at this price or at least 2 balls of yarn. | 1 |
love the size and detail | 5 |
Good, 65 lb paper with a fine texture. HOWEVER, the colors in the pack are not the ones shown in the 4-square color swatches in the listing. The first image with the 4 blues are nowhere to be found in my pack. Instead, go by the colors on the cover that says "All New Colors". However, the cobalt blue in the picture is actually a purple. Very disappointing, because I was looking for a good bright blue!! A lot are more vibrant than they appear, some are even neon--so beware if neon's not your favorite. They are not strictly "jewel tones".
All that aside, I will make use of the colors I have. The card stock is very similar to the Bazzill Basics paper, except they all have the same texture, and on both sides. It is slightly cheaper than the Bazzill though, at under $0.24/sheet instead of over $0.25/sheet. But, if you don't mind not having the texture, I recommend the Neenah Classics Cardstock instead, for only $0.10/sheet!
And by the way, there are 58 total sheets in 20 colors. For those doing the math, that's 3 sheets/color EXCEPT for pea-green and dark blue, which have only 2 each. Really? You couldn't have just made the pack 60 sheets and done 3 sheets of all the colors? It makes the company look so cheap... | 4 |
Love this case for all my dies. | 5 |
nice quality soap base. | 5 |
Very handy and works as stated. | 5 |
Thank You! | 5 |
I love this yarn, but the information on the product is misleading, it says that is has more yardage than it really does, This one has 244 yards, according to the label on the skein. I just ordered 2 because the information in the description says it has 300 something yards. | 4 |
I've loved this tool. It's easy to use and the possibilities are endless. It cuts right through chipboard and I've even cut felt with it to make a felt covered notebook. Fun tool to have. | 5 |
use this a LOT. perfect for what I wanted. | 5 |
This product does the job. I am able to cut accurate shapes with much less pressure to my hands. Like it | 5 |
Good color, easy to work with, and dries on paper quickly. I like how they have a lip at the bottom for easy stacking. | 5 |
Great yarn for the chemo caps I've been knitting. No slubs or knots. | 5 |
perfect you need this for everything you do on cricut very good tool | 5 |
Good qualiy. I just vought these and already used them to make some candles. | 5 |
Very nice color and quality. | 5 |
If you haven't used this yarn before and you're a newbie to crochet (I can't vouch for knitting)this yarn is a little difficult to work with but I made a corner to corner blanket with it for my future mother-in-law and I love how it turned out! I used regular acrylic yarn with it to make it easier to see my stitches and to help hold its form. | 5 |
Little bit disappointed as I had the impression from other viewers that the thickness would be 2mm, but it's not, I think is 1mm, or just slightly sicker than 1mm, too thin for my project. The seller should indicate exactly the thickness of the chipboard. | 3 |
It is a necessary item if you want to dry emboss using embossing folders, texture plates and dies. It works well. | 4 |
I made a crocheted sunhat and used this stuff, at first it was too stiff, I had to rinse it out. I hadn't diluted it. I recommend diluting it at first. My hat came out rock hard at first. After I rinsed it out it still kept its shape, but was softer. It was my first time using it. I still have a full bottle left for other projects! | 5 |
Works great! I love having the grids | 5 |
I find that this "soft navy" yarn is actually somewhere between a navy and a royal blue - kind of like a dark royal more than navy. It is an absolutely beautiful color. I crocheted lap afghan for my husband using this shade, a brown, and a beige. The soft navy really popped in the afghan. The jumbo roll is an excellent price savings over the standard roll of Super Saver though Super Saver is one of the best values available for this quality of yarn. I like it for more durable projects such as afghans or amigurumi or stuffed toys for my grandchildren.
I like to buy Super Saver at my local big craft store when they run specials or have coupons but they rarely have the jumbo skein. If I am doing a large project or it is a color that I use all the time, I find that buying the jumbo skein is the way to go. | 5 |
This sharpener works great with the Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d'Ache Luminance and Derwent watercolor pencils that I presently use in my colored drawings. It quickly creates a very sharp point without breakage and without chewing up too much of my pencil, which is exactly what I wanted. I try to keep my colored pencils as sharp as possible for creating fine details and this sharpener, along with a piece of fine, 220 grit sandpaper, does the trick. That said, this sharpener also works surprisingly well with soft graphite, woodless graphite and charcoal pencils. I also find that using it to sharpen these pencils here and there helps keep the oil and wax from the colored pencils from building up on the blade.
I expect that this sharpener would work well with soft pastel pencils as well, but as I rarely work with them, I haven't yet tried it. Unsurprisingly, what this sharpener does not do well is sharpen design pencils in the H range very well, because the lead is too hard to form a long, fine point. I have a standard Kum sharpener that I use with those though, which works great. | 5 |
I wouldn't use anything but these | 5 |
I bought one recently wonderful glue gun tips over way to easy got burned twice from this | 3 |
A little smaller than I hoped. It probably has the dimensions in the description and I didn't read it. About 3/4 size of a regular bar of soap. Very cute lettering font. Nice easy removal of home made soap. I'll never use the plastic trays again! No need to coat with petroleum gel and very easy clean up. Excellent product for an excellent price. | 3 |
2 words --- Love it | 5 |
I got these sheets for a project I wanted to do. They do not seem like rice paper, at least the rice paper I am used to. Its like paper with lines in it almost. I can still use these for other things but not what I bought them for. They are nice though | 4 |
This iron barely gets hot enough to do anything with :( I do test these products out myself and give a very honest review. I am one that reads the reviews carefully when making purchases so I appreciate those who take the time to post reviews! If my review has been helpful to you, please give me a "Yes" vote on my review! | 2 |
Love these Ecoline Liquid Watercolors. I have been using them a few months now and they dry gorgeous. | 5 |
Great color for what I need. | 5 |
MADE IN CHINA not USA. Beware | 3 |
Works well with my baby lock Rachel . | 4 |
Absolutely perfect! Couldn't find this anywhere in Fairbanks! | 5 |
this is a beautiful die. It cuts easily and all the pieces fall out easily. I have already made several cards. I highly recommend this die cut will not be disappoint. | 5 |
These are a nice design for people with difficulty grasping things. | 5 |
This is my first experience with the large tape dispenser. If you can figure out the instructions to load you will like the ease of use. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed | 5 |
So far I have no issues with this item. | 5 |
This is the fabric glue stick I've been looking forward for my applique projects! I also use Wonder Under but that sometimes makes the project too stiff. This adheres the fabrics long enough for me to sew together, correctly. | 5 |
I use these and a larger one for making key-chains, have bought several times now! | 5 |
perfect for thuimb | 5 |
Same as in the box stores. Better off waiting for their 99 cent sales. | 3 |
Just right: silver color, right size, thin enough to be malleable, and exactly as shown in the picture. I will definitely buy it again if I ran short of bead caps. | 5 |
It will make pop up box card much easier to make. | 5 |
perfect color and the best of threads | 5 |
Really good quality dowels! Pristine, no blemishes and clean. Quick shipping, too.
Good price point for package of five dowels. | 5 |
I am an oil painter and I do very detailed work. I have been using these brushes for years. They are by far the best I have found...well worth the money. | 5 |
I love this set so much! It comes with so much and even a little sketch book. This is a great buy and will go a long way!!! Which is really nessesary for the poor art student! | 5 |
Love it, it's so cute! I did have a hard time getting it through thick paper, but on thinner paper it is adorable!! | 4 |
Derwent Colorsoft Skintone Pencils, 4mm Core was delivered on 12-08-17 with no defect noted. I will use this pencil kit on Monday the 14th of August at my morning coloring group. I hate leaving bade page when there is human flesh to be colored. | 5 |
Works very well | 5 |
Never had one break, reordered several times | 5 |
