Not very well made. One of them is not centered glued on the wooden piece and another did not have enough glue and is coming off. But these are things I might be able to fix myself. | 3 |
I purchased this back in October thinking how great it was going to be for my new card making hobby. Unfortunately, I didn't try it right away and although it was factory tested, it does not punch. It gets stuck on one sheet and is almost impossible to pry open. It was a complete waste and I'm outside of my window to return. | 1 |
I did not expect the shine and quality of these bails. They are very well made and the shine and appearance is beautiful to say the least. Very pleased... | 5 |
Weak pins. I didn't intend to purchase Singer, after having read the reviews, but somehow I did. :( | 2 |
Great price on super sharp blades. | 5 |
I searched at Michaels and Hobby Lobby for a box big enough to store my 12 x 12 scrapbooks and could not find one big enough. This box was perfect (and I have ordered more since). It is big enough to fit a 12x12 scrapbook and some extra supplies on top (more paper, photos, etc.). It is well-made and looks nice in my closet, where I am stacking scrapbooks. The label on front is handy for identifying what's inside, and though I am only ordering black because it looks nice, there are lots of color options available. A good buy and I will likely be buying more as I make new scrapbooks. | 5 |
This punch got dull very fast. That was very disappointing. | 3 |
One of the best pens on the market for Bible Journaling! | 5 |
This really works! I no longer look like a mechanic or house painter. | 5 |
Nice to use as a frame for a smaller stamp you put on a card or use it by itself as an embellishment. Clear detail. | 5 |
l loves these daubers that fit right on your finger. Hard to fit my crooked arthritic finger, but it works. Chalk work is messy and this helps keeping the fingers clean. | 5 |
I love this palette and brush kit! There's so many different things you can do with this that the possibilities are endless. | 5 |
love it... | 5 |
Ordered only one but received and paid for two. Will never use one click again. I can use two though. | 5 |
perfect - exactly what I was expecting!!! | 5 |
Who couldn't use this rainbow of zippers....I used for making purses. | 5 |
I thought this would be easier to tear. But, I haven't really used it yet. Will update later..... | 3 |
They were quality page protectors and I would definitely buy them again! | 5 |
I always assume beads won't look as nice in person as in pictures, but these are pretty and have a diversity of tones while keeping the look of complimentary stone colors. I haven't even taken them off the line yet, I actually enjoy playing with them while I think, until I get to a new project and use them. They have a nice weight in my hand. | 5 |
Enjoy the use includes everything to start out with | 5 |
Love this. Thank you | 5 |
This is just what I expected. It isn't a silky yarn but it is soft enough for my purposes. :) I'll definitely buy again. | 5 |
Not a bad little sewing kit for the price. Good to throw in your suitcase for those buttons that always fall off while you're on vacation, or that hem that needs tacking up. It's a lot better than the ones that come with travel gear, anyway. Although I was hoping for a much more substantial one to give as a gift. It looks like I'm gonna have to create one myself, to get the kind of kit that I'm looking for. | 4 |
I gave this sketch board to a patient in a nursing home and he loves it b/c he can just "put his work away" when tired, etc. Doesn't have to worry about wet paper. This was also a good size (16 1/2 sq) to hold 8X11 paper. | 5 |
These pencils work miracles with my coloring books. They even out the colors, making them smooth and more defined. I'm glad I ordered four of them-a good buy! | 5 |
I love these and use them all the time. | 5 |
this works great for crafts and paper projects! hate it, though, that glue oozes out when cap is first removed, making a mess and wasting a little bit of glue. | 5 |
Perfect! Couldn't find what I was looking for in the store for a good value, but this fits the bill. Exactly what I wanted and very high quality. | 5 |
Why I bought this product:
I have a variety of synthetic brushes that I use for painting small figurines using acrylic based paint and I wanted to see if I would have a better experience using a sable brush.
Overall Impression:
these brushes are more expensive than synthetic, but well worth the price. I would suggest to anyone that has similar hobbies (modelling, miniatures, fine detail with acrylics) to buy a small variety of sable brushes over a large variety of synthetic. These brushes store more pigment, have a sharper point, and provide better control. I was surprised how much I could cover on a flat surface with smaller sable brushes and still use the sharp point for fine lines and edging. | 5 |
Fast prep work so I can spend time on the art of my craft and enjoy the creative moments . Efficient scrap library management. | 5 |
Just what I needed for sharpening my drawing pencils. Comes with lid for safe carrying in my art bag and is a pretty pink color too! | 5 |
These scissors are fantastic. They have a good grip and open/close very smoothly. They cut all sorts of things with no issues. My coworker liked it so much she bought a pair. | 5 |
Easy to do as the holes are punched for you to follow. | 5 |
Easy to understand instructions | 5 |
I crochet a lot and need to have a covering over the needles to lessen stress to my hands....these did that. | 5 |
helps with machine to keep from wasting paper. Can setup a whole page on computer then cut out with machine. | 5 |
Very Hard to Install. Had to use a work-around to get it working. Very frustrating! Still using a patch to operate the program. | 3 |
This gauge is easy to put in the pocket of my knitting bag when I take it along with me. It doesn't break like some plastic ones. | 5 |
Good Quality Real Wood | 5 |
not as neon green as it looked but I made it work. | 5 |
WOW! these colors are vibrant and the threads are amazing in performance! I am using a Futura XL 400 and they run right through without ANY problems! Definitely will be a returning customer! | 5 |
Needed these for project and they do what their supposed to. No complaints and the order was sent in a timely fashion. My fimo projects are done and I'm pleased! | 5 |
I did purchase this and it does cut but not great. I am not the only one who is having trouble with the intricate design Spellbinders so I have decided not to purchase this brand. | 3 |
Just what I needed, worked great. | 5 |
This yarn is really economic and big but this yarn isn't soft it is really hard. | 1 |
Works well, but hard to erase. Black has a bit of wax in it to help it stick. Seems that wax melts into paper, making erase impossible. Manufacturer said to use kneadable eraser. Tried but not much better. | 3 |
They didn't stay sharp for any length of time at all. Used them for cutting jewelry wire and became dull very quick. Still need a good pair. Not happy. | 1 |
I am new to chalk pens, but I wanted one to write on the chalkboard labels I got. You have to know that the first time you use it, it takes a while to dry, so be careful. After that it dries in seconds. And it looks great - much better than real chalk! It also comes in a finer tip (2mm) which is perfect for small labels or more writing on each label. I'm going to buy more labels and the fine tip pens and I'm going on a labeling frenzy! | 5 |
As a fan of Dewalt products, it's hard for me to want to switch up what's in my tool box. But they only make a corded version DEWALT Rapid Heat Ceramic Glue Gun and sometimes cordless is just better.
Right out of the box you notice it is incredibly lightweight compared to other cordless tools. It fits very well in the hand. It hits up in 90 seconds, pretty quick and has a good glue chamber size. The trigger is a little stiff at first as you melt the glue into the chamber, but once it melts it is much easier to dispense. THe nozzle is a good size, allowing you to control the flow of the, and the trigger provides enough feedback to help you gauge getting it out.
I tested it in constructing some woodworking jigs and the bond was good and best of all it was quick. I'm sold.
FEATURES:
> Lithium battery (up to 3 hours of battery life for the serious crafter)
> 90 Second heat up time
> 125W heater
> Dispenses long lines of glue
> Precision nozzle
> Battery compatible with the 20V* MAX System
> Countless applications
BONDS:
> Wood
> Plastic
> Metal
> Glass
INCLUDES:
(1) BDCGG20 20v MAX Cordless Glue Gun
(1) 20V MAX Lithium Ion battery
(1) LCS1620 Charger
(2) 8 Glue Sticks | 5 |
Love this yarn...makes very nice scarfs and hats for xmas and charity giving | 5 |
I love Red Heart Yarn. This is a nice soft blue color that I used to make my son some things with. | 5 |
This is a very nice set of hooks. Nice smooth quality aluminum. No issues with yarn snagging. Colors are vibrant, and intact. All hooks fit securely within the included pouch. The only issue I personally had with my order, is that my set came missing a 9mm hook. Instead, I received two 8mm hooks. But that wasn't a big enough issue for me to complain or leave less than a 5 star review! Fortunately, I happened to have a 9mm hook prior to ordering these. The pouch I received looks exactly as pictured in the display, adorable! Perfect set for any level of crochet. | 5 |
I have longed for a dress form for years but found them too expensive. I purchased this one because it was so reasonably priced and because I had a formal gown to make for a big event. Everything was/worked as advertised. I could easily pin to it and adjust it. However, this was a form fitting gown (and I am losing weight) so I bought the small, adjusted it out as far as I could and then put a slip type "Flexee" that was my current size over it and stuffed the Flexee with polyester stuffing to my exact measurements. This smoothed out the gaps created when you adjust it and I can still use it when I get down to my goal weight. You could use a leotard as well I would think. Anyway, I love it, it came on time, easy to put together and made the whole process of putting a difficult dress together so much easier and it fit like a custom made dress should once it was done. | 5 |
Perfect for those emergencies. Small enough to keep in my dorm room. | 5 |
So funny story, I bought this machine back in Sept of 2013. That was 3 years ago. I bought it with intensions of starting to learn how to sew - well that never happened. For the next 3 years, this thing sat in my storage room in its original unopened box, being used as mainly a nicely shaped heavy box that all my other crap can pile on top of.
Imagine my surprise that in 2016 when I saw this pop up on amazon again, I was like "oh let's see how much it price dropped since I bought it" (note this is a really common thing w/ me, I buy stuff that I end up not using much and it price drops dramatically next time I check), and it turned out to be a good $40 MORE EXPENSIVE than when I bought it 3 years ago! O__O With most technology a 3 year gap would drop the price by hundreds - but I guess this totally doesn't apply to something like a sewing machine?
In any case, I finally pulled this out and started modifying a lot of my garments that have been in the "sell to resale shops or donate" bags. I did some research ahead of time on how to use it via youtube vids, and got ideas/steps/guides from various youtubers on how to mod my existing clothes to something new. I find this machine to be pretty beginner friendly as long as you do some basic research first. The booklet explains a lot of the parts very well but I mostly just glanced through it or skipped to the specific foots that I need to look for (ie zipper foot) since I got the rest of what I need to know from youtube.
This does come with a detachable foot pedal but also a start/stop button for if you don't want to use the foot pedal. I prefer the pedal as initially when I tried using the button I keep forgetting to press it when I need to stop. foot pedal, even for beginners, is much more intuitive. There's a speed control slider which lets you adjust the speed no matter how hard you press, which is suuuuuuper nice for beginner. At the lowest speed I find the machine to be not very noisy, but recently I changed it to medium speed for one of my projects and it did seem louder. I'm not sure how much dramatically louder the highest speed may be, but I don't think it'll really bother my housemates when their doors are closed (I work in the living room dining room table due to lack of space haha). I did notice that the plastic lid over the bobbin seem to shake at medium speed though...that part is a little worrying but I'm hoping it won't be that big of a problem, and I don't think I'll be moving on to full out medium and high speed yet.
There's a button for leaving the needle up or down when you stop sewing which became incredibly useful when I was working on long chunks of straight sewing that still required periodic adjustment. As someone else also mentioned, I did notice that when I turn the wheel to pull the needle up and try to pull my garment out sometimes it's hard to pull - that's because my needle wasn't at the highest point apparently. Initially I broke thread (and got paranoid I'm gonna bend the needle) but now I know to just turn the wheel some more and pull the needle up further. Once it's in the "nice" zone it's very easy to pull out.
There are maybe 3 things I'm not too happy with. One is the reverse stitch button - if you're using the foot pedal you basically have to wait a second or two before you can press that button, and vice versa. I'm guessing I know why for safety reason (or just how it's programmed), but what it means is that I find I can't do what I see a lot of youtubers are doing when doing back stitching - ie it's not nearly as fast. Most people I see them do a very speedy stop stitch, reverse stitch, then forward stitch and done. With this machine I have to stop wait a second, press the button, wait another second or two, then forward stitch again. If you don't wait long enough, you have to repress the button or the foot pedal - and if you do THAT too quickly it still doesn't work. What ends up happening is that I'm sitting there holding down the reverse button and nothing happens, I realize and I let go and repress and NOTHING HAPPENS. then I have stop and consciously count 1-2, and then press. It makes kind of a slow going and constantly causes me to forget to back stitch.
the other thing that I was a little meh about was the fact that there's no mini screwdriver that comes with the machine. This means if you want to replace the needle or open the bottom for cleaning/unjamming, you'll have to have a set of mini screw drivers on hand. Most standard screw drivers are not small enough to fit in that tiny space (for example the screw for holding the needle). This thing came with a mini seam ripper but not a mini screw driver. :( That bummed me out. I did end up buying a mini screwdriver set from amazon anyway, but it can be a bit irritating if you don't know and need to replace the needle and suddenly you have to pause your project. In my case, I ended up using a tweezer until I got my screwdriver set.
the last thing was that a few times the bobbin thread got jammed on the bottom of the plate and it was insanely difficult to remove. I had to seam rip my garment out of there and at a latter point I was able to use my seamripper again to pull out the clump of thread. I'm really not sure why it got jammed, but it happened 2-3 times, with the last time being particularly bad. I'm going to assume it's from my inexperience, but just wanted to put it out there that it did happen. Because I still didn't have the mini screw driver at the time, I couldn't open the bottom plate to remove the thread clump so again irritating that it didn't come with something that can open it.
Other than that, I LOVE this machine. So many different stitches AND it came with insane number of foots for free. I saw that a lot of other models/machines require you to buy the foots separately. The number of stitches and the number of foots that came for free was what really sold me on this (plus the price was excellent when I bought it and all the positive reviews!). As a total beginner to sewing, I find this to be a really excellent machine. Even at its current price it's still drastically cheaper than a lot of other machines with less stitches and attachments. Highly recommend this for beginners and intermediate sewers, but I imagine if you're a heavy duty seamstress, this might not really be for you (but I think if you're an experienced seamstress you'd know that anyway!) | 5 |
I love the Penny Black type styles. Her saying are so cute and really accent my home made cards. Glad I discovered them. | 5 |
looks great | 5 |
I ordered this to crotchet a blanket. I love the color but unfortunately I think I received a bad batch. I ordered both the peachy and white and the white is a lot fluffier while the peachy yarn looks shredded. I already started working up my project by the time I realized this, but I need another bundle to finish my project so hopefully this was just a fluke. The great thing is that the skein is huge, so you get a ton of yarn to work with. If you're making a blanket you'll probably need at least 2 skeins.
----------
Edit - I ordered another set of peachy and white yarn. The peachy yarn is still a bit "shreddy". Perhaps it's the dyeing process. But I've finished my blanket and it is super soft and warm! A bit heavy too but that's all right. I used 4 skeins in total. If you're making something for babies or kids this is a great choice of yarn as it can be machine washed.

It works fine with marking the fabric; I tested it on two pieces of fabric: whiteish cotton and a cotton blend, see pics. I rated it 3 stars because two of the ten chalk triangles are broken, but they still work, it's chalk. Overall pleased with the product. | 3 |
I have high hopes this will not have the problems I had with the blade 1/4 in. foot. I checked against my Purple Thing and the 1/4 in side is perfect. | 4 |
Very good stabilizer. | 5 |
Great quality paper. I bought this to trace sewing patterns onto to make them more reusable, and it works perfectly. The weight is similar to printer paper. The amount of paper on the rolls should last a while. It costs more per foot than some of the "tracing" papers for sewing, but the paper is better quality so I think in the long run it's still a better value. I'll be buying this paper again when the two rolls run out. | 5 |
This is rather soft and good feeling yarn. A cheap yet comfy alternative to the real wool.
I used it in the amigurumi (knitted toys) though, not for things you wear, but whenever I will need this color for my scarf or sweater I will definitely use it with no worries.
If you are looking at it - it will probably be good enough, I would say. | 5 |
Price is better than local (Hawaii) retail. | 4 |
I have bought other embroidery thread from this supplier so I was pretty sure it would live up to my expectations and it has. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because It's not as bright as some of the other thread I've bought from them. It might be my own fault for not looking further into the colors they had. But still a good buy even with postage and handling. | 4 |
my wife loves these in our daycare | 5 |
Easier to use than the directions make it sound like. Gives a shockingly accurate cast of your hand, which I'm using for a drawing subject. | 5 |
Unhappy, not the foliage brush I thought it was. Just a flat brush. Thought it was round and slanted. | 2 |
Really helps move colors around smoothly. I use it all the time. And it's forgiving, too.
Recommend it to all who use Bob's style of painting. | 5 |
I REALLY LOVE THESE PRODUCTS. WILL CONTINUE TO BUY THEM FROM YO VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED | 5 |
I've used this a bit now, and the looper makes a much nicer end then I do by hand. However, they need to come up with a way to get the loop close to the last bead. It leaves over 1/4" space. | 3 |
Well it is just a loupe, and the price was pretty good for a loupe even unlighted, so the light is awesome. If you are using the loupe in a variety of lighting conditions, it's very nice to take the shadow off of your item of interest even when it's not necessarily dark enough for you to think you need a light. It's not the most durable item ever, light aluminum cover and plastic casing, but the lens is fine quality and I'm not going to be using this under rugged conditions. If you are going to be treating it roughly you might want to invest in a better quality casing, but this works great for my purposes. | 5 |
nice product but really too much of it for my purpose and that isn't their fault. good product at good price. | 4 |
Great Product. | 5 |
I make origami jewelry, and this set was perfect for my pastels. A few were darker, more serious patterns, but most were youthful and playful. There are several sheets per pattern, making it easy for people to create duplicates. There ARE a few patterns in this set that I could call "ugly", but perhaps only four or five, which isn't bad. All in all, a great product. Will buy again when I run low! | 4 |
too big and bulky. does work, but not comfortable | 3 |
I bought two of these thinking they would be fun to use in my art journal. They say they have 10x the ink of an ink pad so I thought they would serve me well since I go through ink fast. I was wrong. The design is flawed to say the least.
Just getting the cap off was a trial. I went on youtube to watch a video in case I was doing it wrong. It took several tries to open the first one and the second one I just gave up on. Once I got the hydrangea one open, I did what the directions/video told me to do. I pressed down on the sponge to release ink to fill the sponge. I pushed down and pushed down and pushed down. I held it down, I pounced it, I squeezed it. A good half an hour later I still had poor ink flow. The effort used never resulted in enough ink for good coverage. Plus, the sponge was already showing signs of wear. | 1 |
I just received my new Singer 160. I live in a very small house and I do my sewing in my living room so looks were moderately important to me. This machine is beautiful in person! The one touch system seems o.k., But as I have never sewn on this type of machine Im not that thrilled about it. I do a massive amount of sewing making nearly 30 full size quilts last year on my 129.00 singer machine which has dials for everything. On this new machine the reverse has kind of a hick-up while you wait for the machine to figure out what its doing. When you sew the volume I do, that Hick-up could mean extra hours sewing. I am happy all my feet switch over. But this machine doesnt come with much , so if you don't have a singer already you may want to take that into consideration. I will write more again in about a month to see if the touch system seems to become more valuable to me. Good luck .God bless. keep sewing! | 4 |
These pins are cute, and there it ends. The actual pins, the metal part, is thin and weak. Many of the shafts were bent, or easily bent while using them. Total waste of money. | 2 |
Working well so far! Not quite bright enough for thick paper but I manage. Good quality for the price. | 5 |
So many possibilites | 5 |
Great product thank you. | 5 |
Love this paper- it is so pretty and vintage looking. The texture of the paper is really smooth and colors are great. Received product in timely manor. | 5 |
Great works great | 5 |
This looks like fun. I was able to test it out and it works great. I can't wait to use it for cards and my scrapbooking pages. | 5 |
Attached this lite to one of my sewing machines the day it arrived and now it looks like I may need one or two more down the road. Great little lite for my needle area on my embroidery machine. | 5 |
Daniel Smith water colors are wonderful quality. I buy these single tubes to fill out my palette. They are reliably wonderful to paint with. | 5 |
Arrived on time and in good condition. Great quality and price! | 5 |
These are great pincushions.....going to get more.....They are well made, squishy so pins should glide easily
into them. The fit on my wrist is excellent, not too tight, just right. Lovely blue color. I am one happy sewer with
this on my arm. Thanks for making a great product. | 5 |
Love the cabinet, once I was able to put it together. Google for videos of how to assemble this cabinet **before** assembling it. You'll be happy you did. ESPECIALLY when inserting the lift assembly! The instructions for inserting the lift are confusing but if you watch the videos, it's much more clear. There were some problems with the lock assembly but customer service with the cabinet manufacturer is AWESOME! They were very helpful and responsive, actually milling a special part and sending it out overnight delivery.
Once the cabinet was assembled, I love, love, love it! Can't say enough good things about it! | 5 |
good for crafting my wedding things. i've used almost all of it up and the ribbon is of wonderful quality. | 5 |
My daughter bought these through my account for Christmas from Santa for my middle grand daughter. They sent me some pictures of her paintings and they are quite well done. My grand daughter seems to enjoy painting quite well and I am sure all the examples of work to be done will be complete within a few weeks. My daughter says she would purchase this item again. | 5 |
Lots of tools to choose from and all good quality. For sketching with graphite or charcoal you can do just about anything with this set. | 5 |
Pleased with the beads, I would buy again. Thank you. | 5 |
Expected delivery date was 6/5 - 6/10. I thought I would have to wait until the last expected delivery day but this was such an unexpected surprise. Thanks so much - Stuff4Scrapbooking or Stuff4.com for the wonderful and speedy service.
I have not used the product yet but this is the 3rd coiling gizmo I have purchased. I needed one to make longer coils for special projects and this was just what I needed. The inventor of the gizmo, LeRoy Goertz has really outdone himself with this one.
This unit - Professional Deluxe may be a little much if you are just doing regular size coils for beads so I may revert back to the regular deluxe unit for my smaller projects.
Good work Amazon. | 5 |
perfect ize | 4 |
perfect, will need more soon | 5 |
I used this for the 1st time today. I love it! Having everything needed in one case instead of using home tools not made for making jewelry ect | 5 |
I have always balked at the tumbler, all that fussy cutting. Not with these. I cut out an entire lap sized quilt in about 5 minutes after fabric prep. I prefer to fan fold my fabric to fit the die and cut 6 layers at a time. I can cut quickly then with minimal waste of fabric. The bonus of this die is that the tails are trimmed prior to stitching and each unit fits perfectly to the next. A definite keeper and a perfect element to add to your die collection. These traditional style shapes will always be 'in style' no matter what your fabric choice or pattern design. | 5 |
small but good | 5 |
