Returned not what I expected | 2 |
I go through black embroidery machine thread like crazy, so I'm always looking for a bargain - unfortunately, some of the bargains I've found online did not result in great quality in person. This thread is so nice!!! Really nice thickness, softness, stitches out evenly, feels good on the final design, I absolutely love it!!!
The white is nice quality too, of course - pretty much the same as the black. I don't go through that quite as quickly, but this was a great deal and I'll definitely use it. I don't want to forget this brand! I love it
For reference, I use a Brother Quattro 3 for embroidery. It's a GREAT machine but still occasionally gets tangled on the cheap thread. This thread glides through like a dream! | 5 |
I used these to stick my rugs down to my tile floor and those suckers haven't moved in months. | 5 |
Amazing color and fun to use. | 5 |
This item is exactly as expected. I am enjoying painting and stenciling. | 5 |
I had high hopes for bright metallic colors with these paints, but I cannot apply them accurately, smoothly, or consistently. I tried my high end Grex airbrush and my cheap no-name I use for priming. Same results - sputter, choke, splat... it was hideous.
I kinda want a refund but I guess I will eat the loss and maybe use these on garden decorations where quality application doesn't matter.
Edit: Further experiments reveal this stuff works fine on 0.5mm nozzle and above. Fine for larger jobs under higher pressure, but for my miniatures painting, needing precision at low pressure and small nozzle - no way. Increase to 3 stars just because I was hoping for better for my particular application. | 3 |
This genuine walking foot arrived in record speed and is a real Brother walking foot. It was about the price I expected to pay which wasn't cheap, but I did not want a knock off. I just used the walking foot today to straight line quilt and it works beautifully. If you need a replacement foot like I did, because I lost the one that came with my Brother 2800D, this one is great! | 5 |
Exactly what I needed and it was a great deal too | 5 |
Much cheaper than buying at the art store, and I used the pellets to make encaustic medium and cold wax medium. Also great for candles. | 5 |
I purchased these silk ribbons for a project that Iwas working on. The high quality and the colors were excellent for the price. | 5 |
I loved the set it was complete for every stage of drawing with charcoals. | 5 |
Great addition to craft room | 5 |
Another one of those purchases I should've made many years ago, when I began making my own homemade cards. I have gone through so many of those little glue rollers, and had I bought one of these in the beginning, I would've saved a ton of money! But better late than never, because I don't plan to stop making them for a LONG time! | 5 |
the pins were really long and strong. I didn't think pins I use in sewing would make a difference but they really made my life easier. | 5 |
The mats Makes it quick and easy to cut all the images you need in one run. Just make sure the machine is far enough from the wall. | 5 |
I absolutely love these brushes. If you want to add a little shimmer to your project this is it. You can write with it also. I have silver, gold, white and the clear. | 5 |
I have one of these that I bought at Michaels, and it has SO many uses! It makes it wicked easy for me when I'm in the car for a long time in the backseat, and I put a couple snacks, coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, etc... in it to keep everything in reach and with easy access! | 5 |
helped me alter some jeans that were too long | 2 |
I used one of these today to cut shelf liner and it worked like a charm. Easy and comfortable to hold and I love that the blade retracts with the touch of a button because I'm pretty clumsy and tend injure myself frequently. | 5 |
Nice set of glitter pens. | 4 |
Love this webbings, right size , neddle friendly, they are just great to have specially for handbags, their colors are so true, I highly recommend | 5 |
Update: November 2017 , Changed from 4 to 5 stars.
After 4 years of use, I love this machine. It has never given me a bit of trouble. It is a really easy machine to learn and it certainly has proved itself to be durable.
Original review:
Six months ago I decided to take up sewing as a hobby. I tried sewing many years ago but was never a skilled sewer. The Brother Designio series appealed to me since it seemed to offer a lot of computerized improvements that would help me to become more accomplished. There are quite a few reviews by more experienced sewers detailing the features so this is just a perspective of someone who does not have a lot of comparative experience with newer machines. I did appreciate having the instructional dvd and used that in conjunction with YouTube videos to get comfortable with the machine. It was very easy to start sewing almost immediately.
What I really like is the computerized LCD display which tells me exactly which presser foot to use with which stitch. I also like being able to see the drop in bobbin in order to judge how much thread is left on it. The optional foot pedal along with the speed control is a nice improvement in sewing machines and I find that I use the foot pedal when I need more control but it is very easy to switch over to automatic especially with the speed control slide. The automatic is nice with monogramming and decorative stitching since it gives a nice even feed which I can't seem to maintain with the foot pedal. I was surprised at how nicely the decorative stitching turns out. All of the accessories seem to be a nice bonus and I haven't used some of them yet but it is nice to have the option if and when my skill level and ambition allows. ;)
While I like this machine, I think that if I were to be making the purchase decision again, I would definitely upgrade to a model that gives automatic thread tension control. I find that, as an inexperienced sewer, determining the proper tension is my biggest problem. I anticipated loving the automatic threader but find that hooking the thread and pulling it through the needle does not seem any easier or quicker than just threading it manually. All in all, I find the Brother Designio DZ2400 a nice machine and a good value. | 5 |
It is completely insane how life-changing this simple piece of plastic has been. I make and sell embroidered drawstring bags, and had been using a safety pin to pull the ribbon (or other drawstring material) through the channel, as my frugal mother taught me when I was young. As most sew-persons know, they have a tendency to become unpinned while in the channel - most of my bags are satin or other fancy material, so having an open pin stuck inside has the potential to snag and completely ruin the project (during the final step, no less). I've also had issues with the safety pin getting hung up on seam allowances, and when I use ribbon, being poked with a pin causes the end to fray & have to be trimmed off later.
This simple tool has instantly eliminated all my drawstring problems! The ribbon slides into the eye at the flexible end, and the stiff end goes through the channel, directly to the other opening, give it a little tug, and zzzzzZZZIP! All done in 2 seconds, with zero frustration! I can't even believe how much I love this silly thing. Whoever invented it was a GENIUS. It has sped up my work time, eliminated stress, and improved the quality of my life! Not to mention, rescued my fancy satin bags from potential demise due to ugly pin snags.
I haven't tried it yet with pulling elastic through a waistband, but I'm very confident it will be just as easy and satisfying. If my mother were still around, she would give me no end of hell about spending money on something that can be done by a safety pin. And technically it can be done by a safety pin, but this is SO MUCH BETTER! Worth $8.50, if only for the sake of making the last step of a project super simple and fun. Sewing is supposed to be fun! Not frustrating! | 5 |
well made, did good job in rehanging my books | 4 |
Good cord. Wish there were more colors and thicknesses. | 4 |
I purchased this because it is filled with India ink. I didn't realize it was closer to a fine art brush. My other markers did not last in the Arizona desert sun. I'm hoping this will have a longer life. I mark my collection of cacti with small plastic labels. It is difficult to write small letters of the alphabet with this product due to its "brushy" effect. I just need to brush up on my Chinese calligraphy. | 4 |
good for any use | 5 |
A few bobbins didn't fit the spindle because of small burrs, but this can be remedied. It seems to be a good deal for the price. I will never run out of bobbins. | 5 |
Small size, scratchy.......won't buy this brand again. | 2 |
Prompt service. Item as discribed. | 5 |
As a child, I grew up using liquid embroidery by the company Artex and we had a fantastic time with those. These are so lane in comparison. I bought them to introduce this enjoyable pastime with two kids I spend a lot of time with. When even a grown woman can't press these down hard enough to expel a decent stream of liquid, you can imagine how frustrating it was for the kids. I do NOT recommend this product at all. | 1 |
just as described .... I can't wait to start sewing with it | 5 |
Nice Quality! | 5 |
great colors and they work great with her stamps
Plus if you get the colors on your clothes it comes out. | 5 |
They serve their purpose well. There's really not much more I can say other than I have no complaints about them. Good product. | 5 |
Very nice yarn. Much better than Super saver which has recently become very thin. I don't even know how they can still call it a ww yarn. It's more like sports yarn but this comfort yarn is much better | 5 |
When I picked up the package these came in it was so heavy that I thought there were bricks in it. There were not bricks just a lot of well made canvases. You get four different size boards that are true art canvases. I love that I can get great deal on Amazon and there are a great price. I bought my daughter canvases last year at an art supply store and paid $40 for two and these are just are good as the ones I over paid for. This review is 100% my own unbiased opion. #sponsored. | 5 |
store it up right and do not lay down in storage container. it leaked in the box it came in and had continued to leak. I've never actually used it but already half gone. I hear the product itself works great if there is any left by the time i need it. | 3 |
wonderful die; makes for a lovely card; and easy to work with. | 5 |
Needed some in a hurry and these did fulfill my need but are very light weight. Wanted longer ones to use "extra" length for use again. Will not purchase again. | 4 |
nice item, great price, packaging was appropriate and arrived in a timely fashion. | 5 |
Great product ship package sent on time good price will order again | 5 |
My favorite hole punch. I use this for a lot of my crafts with no problem at all. Martha Stewart is awesome. | 5 |
Essential for anyone who sews. So handy. | 5 |
great book to practice my tangles in. :) love it | 5 |
Love these needles. I love all of my Knitters Prides needles. They work really well and you can change the cord to the size you need. | 5 |
You get what you pay for, useable once you get them open, but poor quality. | 3 |
My knitter was happy to get this | 5 |
Good idea and a sturdy case, but way too small. I would have much preferred it to be a bit bigger to allow a better assortment of rivits to be stored with it. I had to buy an additional storage case for the rivits, so I feel I would have been better off buying one case large enough to hold everything together. | 3 |
Best needles ever!!! I've ordered 2 packages so I'm never without them!! | 5 |
So it does what it says it does. Turns to rubber, awesome. I like it. It's cool. I can see it fixing lots of things like a broken charger or a crack in the wall. I personally used it for a pot handle that gets REALLY hot when it's on the stove, hoping it'd enclose that heat and make the pot, well, hold-able. It didn't work. The pot's handle is still super hot to touch. Kind of a waste. I didn't exactly read up on Sugru being able to retain heat or anything, so I can't say it's their fault. HOWEVER! Another lame thing is that the black color was super messy. It got all over my (clean) hands and stuff. Really icky and inconvenient. Aside from that, no issues. | 4 |
Love the new design of step-ups card Stephanie Barnard has designed. She makes card making fun!! | 5 |
Handy item. Kind seller. p | 4 |
Most of the time when I get scissors, I usually end up with cheap, mundane scissors that never seem to do the job very well or last very long.
I decided to break that trend and get something better (I was going to say "a cut above" but I'm sure I'd be pun-ished for that).
I'm very happy with the Scotch Precision Scissors. They're very well-constructed and feel secure in my hands. The blades are sharp and the handles have a rubberized portion that gives a bit of cushioning and makes it easier to hold.
The blades are very sharp and have tight tolerances. They cut fabric and all thicknesses of paper very well, but I'd avoid heavy cardboard since you can bend the blades.
Overall, they're well worth the money. | 4 |
Marathon Runner is easy to handle and very easy to refill. It comes loaded with tape which is 100 ft. as are the refills. Very easy to replace refills. Tape has a strong hold great for card making and scrapbooking. MAT | 5 |
Exactly what I was looking for. Great price, great quality. | 5 |
I was designing a major lace project, but having no luck at all finding size 30 white crochet thread. I finally found it here. I was able to order enough to complete the project (about 7 balls) and get all the same color white. The thread itself is excellent quality, and a nice clear white color. It worked fine and the project, an 1830's pelerine collar, came out gorgeous! | 5 |
Comfortable and sharp. I use on fabric and batting with no issues. | 4 |
This is simple and easy to use. You can use for hand or machine sewing needles. It works great. Sometimes I have trouble seeing to put the thread into the wire, but that's not the fault of the threader, it's my vision. I need a threader because I can't see well enough to thread a needle anymore.
I have purchased other types of needle threaders and some only worked with some needle sizes and not others. This threader has a different size wire at each end so that you can use more than one size needle.
I have only used this a short time, but it worked great. I keep it next to my sewing machine to thread my needles. | 5 |
I may buy another one soon. J. | 5 |
Have you ever tried to stamp or emboss in white, only to have it disappear? Frustrating!
Then I tried this pigment ink. Amazing. It works.
What I love about the Colorbox pigment ink is that it is slow to dry. It's made that to give you time if you need it. I do,because I usually put Ranger's Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder over it and then heat set it. The details come out amazing.
If you heat set it, once it cools, then it doesn't smear. But make sure to allow it to cool. If you don't want to emboss it, you can still heat set the ink to help quicken the drying. I heat set from underneath no matter if embossed or not. | 5 |
I was afraid that these bags would be too thin to carry cookies and other food items, but they are perfect. I like that they are white, as I am able to stamp my company name on them and have the stamp show up easily. Just what I needed! | 5 |
Don't care for it. Very hard to work with. Yeah you get more for your money but Supra works a lot better. | 2 |
Product is easy to use. Dries quickly. Great art medium. | 5 |
I am not a serious jewelry maker, so for me they meet my needs. If you do a lot of work on jewelry you may not find them so. They work fine I am just not sure what you might be looking for. They are a smaller version of ones I had seen on Amazon. | 4 |
It's a good value for money because you get a lot, but there definitely wasn't quite as many tonal variations of color in my mix vs the picture. I selected it based on how many different shades were shown and as you can see, while mine did have a variety, it's not quiet the full spectrum of colors as the listing image. It's also not an even distribution of color either. | 4 |
Very pleased with the product. I have been using a tandy overstitcher and bought this one to try as I noticed it had sharper needle like tips. It ships from China, took 3+ weeks. One drawback in packaging (padded envelope) was that one tip was slightly bent, not beyond use. It will serve its purpose as a practice tool. Not complaining because it was a fraction of what I normally pay for my tools. Thanks! | 4 |
very good selection; good value | 5 |
Arrived waaaay sooner than expected. Also, these are not turquoise, they are howlite but after seeing other reviews with images, i purchased them because i was looking for howlite and the price was right which is why I'm giving 5 stars. They definitely should not be advertised as turquoise though. | 5 |
Great quality. I ram out of space to keep displaying professional pics of my kids in my home. I bought this to keep on my table and put 57 and 810 professional pics of my kids. I Love This Book and even bought refill pages for it! | 5 |
really lovely colors - this is my second purchase | 5 |
It almost feels like it has a glue-y coating. not sticky, but sort of stiff. I don't know if it will change after it's washed, or not. | 3 |
My husband bought your product for his son when he bought him his wood burning kit. Your graphite paper makes creating designs so much easier. | 5 |
very nicely made | 4 |
LOVE THEM | 5 |
I gave it as a gift | 5 |
Great present for a girl who likes to paint rocks. She opened it to work on it right away. We looked up pictures of how people painted these or things similar for ideas before painting ours.
This was so cute and so fun. It's a great gift for anyone who likes to paint and likes knick-knacks. Also, it was a great price. | 5 |
Oh, so fun, so easy!
-read the directions! It sets up fast, so get what you are making molds of ready!
- the 2 toned allows you to know when you have it mixed correctly.
-be careful when scooping out one color to clean off the utensil or your fingers, before scooping out the other color...
- I use it to make very fine detailed texture molds for ceramics, metal clay & paper molding....
- very flexible mold, allowing you to get our material out of the mold.
Price is great & delivery was great.
Cheers! | 5 |
These are a great price and work really well while hand quilting. They fit easily on my small fingers. | 5 |
Best blades ever! Great for use in my Cricut | 5 |
Those reviewers who are complaining that this tray does not fit their over sized hands clearly never read the product description closely! This is a good small to medium sized tray. It has plenty of room for 6 different paints and has 4 mixing areas. If this tray is too small for your hand just set it down on a table or work bench as you paint. It really isn't a big deal. The tray is extremely easy to clean and the paint colors don't stain as happens with many other trays I've noticed. The price is also right. Don't pass this up! | 5 |
I bought these stitch markers because they were the cheapest on Amazon, so I thought I would give them a try. When they arrived, I was surprised that this package came all the way from China, as I had no idea that was where Islandoffer Company was located. I have only had them 2 weeks but so far, 2 have broken on me. They are a very brittle plastic and the simple act of sliding your yarn across your needles causes these markers to break. I will go back to my favorite markers, KnitPicks, spend a bit more, but be satisfied that they will last as long as I take care of them. Don't waste your money on these! | 1 |
Being very new to carving I first purchased a craft set with some blunt gouges set in what appeared to be dowel rods which came with a piece of basswood iron ore. After trying to sharpen those items with every known sharpener to man, I went out and got a razor knife (lockblade box cutter) which was WAY better than the first junk, and ordered some nice basswood from a recommended supplier. Things got much better. So, I figured I would stretch out and purchase some real carving tools, seeing as I had made it through the prior experiences and still wanted to carve.
First off, the box is "interesting." I was afraid at first that I would have to get a crowbar to get into it, but finally discovered that the "loose" piece of wood on one side actually slid out and opened the box to reveal the contents. Examining the contents I found the items inside to be VERY SHARP, unlike previously acquired tools. One of the main selling points for me was that it included the slip strop and dressing, giving me everything I needed to maintain its sharpness.
One of the most interesting and certainly the most frightening aspects of this set is the little yellow box that was nestled underneath the blades. After lifting most of the blades and wrangling it free I found that it was a convenient bandaid dispenser.
Yes, this set is so sharp you will need the convenience of being able to DISPENSE your bandaids right from the kit.
I have very gently and carefully curled some chips from a block of wood (the remnants of the basswood iron ore mentioned earlier) a couple of times with ease, but have shelved this set until my slash-proof/gouge-proof safety glove comes in. I'm hoping to save on bandaids. | 5 |
Just was I was looking for. I would purchase these again. | 5 |
I purchased this yarn for the first time off Amazon to use in a baby afghan project. The color is as shown. The feel of the yarn does not disappoint. It is nice and soft for a baby and will be a nice addition to my "go-to yarns". I have never tried Soft Baby Steps and I have not seen it at my local store. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys crocheting baby afghans and is looking for a relatively easy yarn to use. I had no issues with threading or catching/splitting on my hook. None of the yarn came out in a knot from the roll (which I find to be the case in a lot of RH yarns). | 5 |
Great product, good size. | 5 |
These work well on attaching a lightweight object to a flat surface. The dots are very thin, about .015 inches thick. I thought they may be good for stabilizing wall hangings/pictures, but they don't work on textured walls unless you use 4 or more at same position and that is not easy to do. I have found other uses where they work well. The Glue Dots (12296) are .060 inches thick and I use those for my wall hangings. | 3 |
Was not the right refill for my machine even though it stated would fit my machine | 2 |
Arrived as scheduled and as described. | 5 |
The transparent original was better at not seeping through fabrics. | 3 |
Nice quality & easy to work with. | 5 |
love love this brush....that's not a stutter....I really think this is a great brush. :) | 5 |
makes great loops. | 5 |
beautiful beads | 5 |
Worked great I would order again. Used in my Silhouette Curio. Good price could not find any cheaper and also prime so two day shipping is great! | 5 |
This cartridge along with several other new ones are not compatible with Cricut Gypsy. No update is available from company at this time. | 2 |
This product arrived fast and in good condition, and is as described. I paid 25.99 for it, and I see it is now advertised at 32.95. Quite a hike! The 20% discount on future orders is a nice touch, and I may take advantage of it.
The paper itself is one color both sides, which is what I wanted, as I have plenty of duo paper and wanted some of all one color. I think the colors are true all the way through, as I haven't seen any white showing when I do multiple folds. However, the paper is not as crisp as Id like, seems a bit soft-ish. But it holds a fold well enough for practice and for simpler origami designs. It gets soft after a bit. I read reviews about how it doesnt tear easily, but I found it to tear about as easily as comparably priced paper. I guess you get what you pay for paper with longer fibers that doesnt tear easily is more expensive.
The free origami e-book is also a nice touch, but you won't find many things there that you haven't already met up with on the internet or in many, many origami instruction books. There are a few that were new to me, I do confess that.
All in all, a decent product for the price I paid. I was hoping that the doesnt tear easily would be a more robust brag; and I also would like a crisper paper. But, a good deal for practicing, which I need to do very often!!!! (See my wastebasket!) Im satisfied with this purchase, but cant give it 5 stars. | 4 |
Thicker than normal fingering weight, but worked up nice. | 4 |
These are very cute, but sometimes can be a little difficult to separate from the paper backing they come on. Once you manage to separate them, they are very sticky and will not fall off of the craft that you stick them to easily, so they are a good choice for a variety of projects. They are also very cute. I have been using them on a variety of surfaces, including wood, plastic and paper and so far they have done very well. | 4 |
Good quality and very strong. | 5 |
