This long knitting needle case is such a help! It holds multiple pairs of knitting needles - up to 14" SPNs - and also has a small box on the end where I can put point protectors, row counters, etc. Simply wonderful for us knitters! | 5 |
This is the perfect size for toting around sketching supplies. Very handy. | 5 |
I love how the bone folder snaps into the scor pal and the 1/8" lines are a tremendous help. Also the star letting you know where the middle of an 8 1/2" card could be scored in the middle is the best feature of all. I highly recommend this product. | 5 |
Too small to hold on to ..... and once you hold it in your hand, you can't see what you are doing ..... design needs work. I would not purchase again. | 2 |
Very sharp and work quite well. The time saved from using scissors makes these a good buy. | 5 |
The color changes are so pretty and the yarn is soft. | 5 |
After pouring candles as a hobby for several months I finally decided to purchase wick stickers, they sure do a great job. I will always be using these wick stickers from now on. The wick centering device is another aide in pouring candles that I will always be using from now on. | 5 |
I bought these for my girlfriend and she loves them. They are exactly as described, except they are not the colors shown in the pic. My girlfriend was hoping for at least one purple one. | 5 |
Very well worth the price these are heavy double sided keys for crafting and decorating , very happy with the purchase . | 5 |
This tool has saved me heaps of frustration when I pin my quilts. Th ladies in my quilting group all wanted one when they saw mine. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed to bring my old patio furniture with odd size cushions up to date. Because it is thick I used and electric knofe to cut to size. | 5 |
Works as advertised. Trying to keep threads from bobbins organized and tidy | 5 |
SUPER value!!! just ordered a few more colors of the basics. | 5 |
I love the consistency of these paints, they are so easy to paint with.. | 5 |
Work as described | 5 |
Good product! Convenience of pre-wound is very helpful with my embroidering! | 5 |
completely bent and no longer straight. must have happened during shipment | 5 |
This is the preferred cutting mat to have on the work table. | 5 |
gave as gift to quilter
told it was a GREAT gift and good quality | 5 |
NICE! SMOOTH! EASY TO USE!! good for beginners. Ive never realized how much easier charcoal is to blend and correct compared to other mediums. try it out :-) it's a super good price too; when I bought ONE pencil at micheal's it was 2$ so this is really great. There is 2 sets of dark, medium, and light and one white | 5 |
Works great, using regular copy paper. Just make sure you cut your circle small enough so the outside doesn't curve with the sides of the button. | 5 |
I've tried several (including the cb09). I use this regularly and it still cuts like butter. I'll be sticking with this in the future. | 5 |
its smaller than what i expected but it worth every penny ... | 4 |
There is a little catch where the carbon meets the metal but not enough for it to be an issue. The tips are nice and pointy for tricky stitch manipulation and the carbon is nice on the hands. I have never had trouble using metal needles but I imagine these would be a good alternative to metal. They're quick like metal with the warmth of wood. | 5 |
Awesome chipboard! Great weight for my mini albums! | 5 |
High quality construction for great durability. | 5 |
My goodness. So good quality! It is smaller than pictured, though. And that brush that it comes with is just perfect! I love the strong colors. | 5 |
Great little ! | 5 |
thanks you always send me lovely fabric ggi | 5 |
Holds onto small clay items without cramping my wrist. Great product for anyone who makes miniatures! | 5 |
Easy to change positions. Love them. | 5 |
Looks like it will work | 3 |
Wow!! This is a beautiful set of paintbrushes!! I am an amateur painter and have only dabbled with it when making craft items or decorating my home, but I have found that people like what I have done and have made positive remarks when they see my work so I thought it might be time to get a few tools to keep on hand. I have purchased a paintbrush here and there but decided it would be fun to get a whole set. Boy did I score when I selected this set!!
First of all, the set arrived almost instantly ( how DO they do that!) and was packaged nicely. There were no issues with the shipping. I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY when I opened the kit. This is no amateur kit! This is the REAL DEAL! The case is sturdy and has a zipper all around for safe and convenient storage and transport. The case also allows the brushes to stand up at an angle for easy removal when using. This is a really nice feature that I have come to love more than I thought I would.
Now for the brushes, these brushes are a painters dream! They are long, about 12" in length. The wood handles are a nice size, about that of a pencil, which makes them comfortable when holding them. The bristles are very nicely made with true precision in their design. A wide range of brushes to enhance the painting experience! I am having lots of fun experimenting with the different brushes and their individual angles and thicknesses. they clean up very nicely too! This kit is truly an amazing value and you will not be disappointed in any way. The quality is so nice I am planning to purchase a few more to give as gifts. Any budding artist would LOVE to receive these I am sure!
I really cannot say enough nice things about this set. I only wish I was a professional artist so I could give more information from a professional stand point. I am sure aa professional artist would perhaps have names for the different individual brushes and could elaborate on each one but my knowledge is limited in that respect. This was one of those rare purchases where you got sooo much more than you expected that you are just stupefied!
I received a discount on this product in exchange for my honest opinion. My honest opinion is this should be SIX stars!!! | 5 |
I've seen these paints because I saw them used by other artists. Didn't care for them myself. Would purchase a different brand next time. | 2 |
Product was as expected except for the fact that it came in a plastic bottle rather than a glass one like I thought. This is not an issue at all, I just like reusing the glass bottles for other things later but this does not effect the product at all. Opening the bottle was easy and it did not leak. Good starter bottle to keep on hand. I will likely re-fill it with a cheaper, larger oil can but I wanted this one for convenience as space is limited here and I am just getting back into oil painting. | 4 |
Worked perfect! Love it. Just what I needed. I will remember not to fold this one. Washes up quickly. Adhesive doesn't stick to it | 5 |
Perfect for Cinderella costumes. They were nice and not flawed at all. | 5 |
This bobbin Holder works great. It keeps the bobbin threads from tangling and thread colors are easy to see. It has enough grip in the event it's dropped the bobbins stay in the holder. | 5 |
Nice scissors and very sharp. | 5 |
Plaid products are always quality. Kits are complete, clearly marked, easy instructions. This is a very cute wreath! | 5 |
All went well. The Acrylic Paint arrived as planned on the order. Love this product. If you are looking to do a negative drawing, this is the product for you. Cathi | 5 |
The hooks took a long time to receive and the sizes (L, M, N, O) are useful in some of the patterns I've seen. I found the material they are composed of not something I particularly like. I would rather metal hooks as opposed to plastic. The colors, though, are very pretty so that helps. | 3 |
My sons and I use them for air soft trading. | 5 |
When the description stated "self-setting rubber", I expected the final product to be rubbery. Not so.
Sugru is a room-temperature vulcanizing rubber sold in large and small packs. First of all, it's better to buy this in small packs unless you have a large item to fix. I found one mini pack actually more than I needed for a small project, so I had to go hunt for another item to fix in order to use up the pack. It would have been nice to have a re-sealable package, but I would imagine that once air gets into the package, that's it.
So, I went about trying to fix a phone headset that had broken. I use the headset for conference calls on my landline. The slider that adjusts the headset snapped in one place, and super glue wouldn't hold it at the break point. Given the cautions in the instructions, I decided to use a thin pair of non-latex gloves to handle and form the Sugru to keep this stuff off my hands.
Opening the package, the Sugru was sticky. It was soft like dough. I rolled it into a ball and started to form it around my headset. It squished around quite a bit, and I couldn't tell if I was able to remove all the air bubbles from beneath it. It was also frustrating to get this stuff smooth and even. The pics on the front of the package must have been made using molds (and photoshop), because my result...not so pretty. (I will upload a pic). I did use the outside of the package as a smoothing surface, placing the package onto a surface and burnishing it with my finger. But as I did this, it caused my join to shift, so I had to forego looks for getting a good fix.
BUT, it worked. It hardened nicely after the 24 hour cure period. Note that this is more like a rubberized plastic than a softer, flexible rubber. It is solid and seems strong enough to withstand the pressure of the stretch needed to hold the headset on my head.
I'm glad that I used gloves when handling this stuff, because given the color of the gloves after working this stuff...it was nasty.
Overall, I like Sugru for fixes like this. It's a bit pricey for what you get, but then again, there aren't a lot of alternatives for this kind of application. | 3 |
Awesome for delica bead storage and all other sizes, too. Able to see many colors/numbers at once. | 5 |
These are nice red tigers eye. The quality is great. They are just not my one of my favorite stones. | 4 |
Defective right out of the box. Kept flashing E4 and the needle would not reset. Called Singer Consumer Affairs and they had me try several things but could not get it to reset. Received it and returned it, all in about 2 hours time. | 1 |
Good value. Strong. | 5 |
I am 5 feet 5 inches weighing 300 hundred pounds in 2000. Until, I discovered the foodmover and it has changed my life forever. I saw the foodmover in 2001 and I purchased it right before christmas at Target and began using it on January 7, 2002. In one year I lost 94 pounds. Now I am 171 pounds and I am only 31 pounds away from my goal of 140 pounds. So go and make a difference in your life with this easy to use product that allows you to eat real food at home and at restuarants. | 5 |
was not impressed for antique gold repair | 3 |
Great metallic paint. You don't need alot to achieve satisfactory results. Arrived quickly, thank God. I needed to finish a project before the end of the week. | 5 |
Not as soft as I was hoping it would be but that is entirely my fault for not doing more research - I really should have gotten Apoxie Paste. However I will definitely use this and I have no fear of it going bad since I still have a bit of Aves Fixit from years ago when I first heard of their products. | 4 |
Very tiny | 4 |
It tears the card that I was trying to cut - not impressed at all! | 2 |
This cartridge is an excellent addition to your cartridge library. It is very useful because of the variety of containers and tags of various shapes. Two of my favorites are the boxes with the heart closure on the top and the flower closure. Great for gift giving!!
You can also add a window to the boxes to showcase your gift!
Great value for the price!! | 5 |
I bought this ink to use in my art work and for my Scheaffer calligraphic pens. It works well and as advertised, it does not clog my pens---but compared to india ink and other technical pen inks, it is not really black, more like a dark charcoal grey. This really shows up in the calligraphic pens where the ink is spread thinner. Maybe I have the visual version of perfect pitch, but I can clearly see the difference and it bothers me. C'mon guys, lamp black is not so expensive a pigment that you couldn't afford to put just a pinch more in your ink and make it really black. So I'm still shopping for a waterproof black fountain pen ink. Oh yes, it does come in a nice bottle. | 4 |
When the package arrives it will appear a lot smaller that it is. It seemed to be vacuum packed. I was a little concerned it would have knotted but it has been fine for the needle felting I do. | 5 |
Best white pencil ever! I m not a artist, I am a enthusiastic adult coloring book addict. This is the only white pencil I use because it actually shows up on the pages! It's a high quality pencil and even better than Faber-Castell polychromos or prismacolor. | 5 |
My yarn tends to get floppy and tangled when I work form both ends and also for so many other reasons..that's just what yarn does I guess. But when I bought this thing it was like all my yarn messes disappeared overnight. You can turn your unruly yarn into neat, easily stackable "wheels" of yarn. AND you can still work with both ends of your ball since both are easy to get to after winding your balls. I am so happy I bought this. It is quite loud and it only makes 4oz balls but your yarn usually doesn't turn into messes in the beginning of the skein anyway. And if it happens that I have more yarn I just make 2 balls..no problem.
Just make sure you hold the strand of yarn to give the yarn tension while winding so you get nice, tight balls and not loose floppy ones.
Now all I need is a magic detangler and my life would be perfect! | 5 |
This is super fun to use. Bought one for my daughter, tried it, kept it, and ordered a second one for her. | 5 |
Good quality, long ship time | 5 |
I use these in my polymer clay designs and they work wonderfully. The detail shows up well and the ink doesn't blur when pressing down. They are deep enough for texture use as well. Would get 5 star if ya didn't need the acrylic block that costs more than it should. I tried a glass square, because I work in fusing also and have alot around, but it didn't stick well enough. | 4 |
Very similar to others I have already gotten. They are fine. | 5 |
This is a great product and it does exactly what it's meant to do. | 5 |
For the price it can't be beat! I've used it in hooping all sorts of stuff. It is strong for a medium weight stabilizer. It tears away cleanly when you need it to. If I have a very dense design I'll layer a few pieces. It has stitched out nicely on several quilt blocks that I embroidered and I was able to remove it easily when I was finished. This is a better deal than what you can get at the big box fabric stores and a better quality product. | 5 |
The Yopo paper is fun to use and always looks good | 5 |
Set is perfect-brush holds its own water supply. Loads of colors and shades. It all fits together nicely, and is so lightweight. Nice mixing tray, too. | 5 |
Pretty colors, but had quite a few crushed ones in the closed packaging. I was quite surprised by the broken or crushed ones | 4 |
i love the color and the yarn is working great for my shall. So glad I could get it here as I have to drive a ways to get to a store that might have it and then they might not have this color. Also the yarn comes packaged in plastic bags and hasn't been manhandled by people or employees. | 5 |
At first I thought this was too big but I'm quickly filing it up with items and could use more organizational space for larger stickers so I'll have to find another solution for those. This being said really handy to have. | 4 |
Great quality, happy with purchase | 5 |
Beautiful color, Great Price! | 5 |
Perfect for making potato bakers and anything that needs to be heat proofed, such as potholder. This is the best price. | 5 |
I love these claps. Not too big or small. I plan on using them on my bracelets that I make. | 4 |
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Great quality and feels great in my hand. | 5 |
For the price this is a good nib pen. I am new to using this tool, but I found it really easy to exchange the nibs. | 5 |
Great item!! Great price!!fast shipping!!! | 5 |
I love this wire for many reasons! It is very reasonably priced. It is an excellent quality craft wire to use in jewelry making and other crafts. I'm approximately at intermediate level wire-wrapping, coiling, weaving of jewelry making and just really like it. I highly recommend this wire. You will like it. | 4 |
This machine is a Dressmakers Dream. No other machine tested was able to create such fine buttonholes, and the automatic bound buttonhole (shown) is a delight, even on Silk Boucle.
This video compares 4 sewing machines, side by side in the $250-$500 price bracket. The Singer 9970 won overall, not only for its category but IMHO the best machine under $500 period.
There were actually 8 machines altogether in the testing but I split them into two groups, 'Under $250' and '$250-$500'. If you want to see the 'Under $250' it posted under the winner, Brother Laura Ashley CX155 LA.
Laura Ashley Limited Edition CX155LA Computerized Sewing & Quilting Machine with Built-in Font for Basic Monogramming
It all started with the need to purchase 2 new machines for my sewing studio (I teach sewing). I bought 2 machines on Black Friday based on good prices and the information from the respective company websites. The information was wrong and both machines went back. At that point, I decided to do a side by side comparison between a series of machines, and keep the best two. Actually, I wound up keeping 3:))
TESTING:
The video shows highlights and you can hear some of the machines in action, including this Singer, but there is no way to pack 28 days of testing into 5 minutes of video:)) What is written below are the some of the comments that are not covered.
Seams:
*5/8"
All 4 machines produced a perfect 5/8" seam. What I loved, loved, loved about the Singer is that it came with a clear 5/8" guide foot that helps the sewer to stitch perfect seams. This is ideal for new sewers, and when working with difficult fabrics, as the guide provides an edge to place the fabric against. WINNER: Singer 9970
*1/4" All the machines were able to do this. Surprisingly, the Brother PC420PRW did not come with a 1/4" foot! Ugh! PRW is supposed to stand for Project RunWay - French Seams are part of fashion and start with 1/4" seams so I was astonished that the foot was not there. That said, the other 3 machines were easier to work with for this test, and thus produced a more accurate seam. In order to decide, I took a sewing gauge and measured. The Juki and Janome both were spot on at 3/16" while the Singer was exactly 1/4". TIE between Juki and Janome.
Pull Test
By no means scientific, this test involves trying to pull the 5/8" seam stitched above apart. They all held beyond my puny strength. Good enough.
Noise:
To really gauge this the machines all need to be side by side and running. This was the toughest test to do. I put a long length of cotton in and set each machine going using the auto on feature. The quietest machines were Brother and Singer. I gave it to the Singer in the end. The Juki HZL-K85 was the loudest due to the box feed system.
Lighting:
Wonderful lighting on all machines in this price bracket compared to the $250 group. I could comfortably sew at night without glasses for the most part. A huge relief for strained eyes. WINNER: Singer.
On the down side, this machine performed poorly on the Satin Stitch Test, however, since I never plan to use this function it was a moot point to me. If you are interested in doing decorative sewing, perhaps consider the Brother PC420PRW.
Threading:
Covered briefly in the video - showing Brother as #1 but the automatic needle threaders on the other machines really are pitiful by comparison. SVP Worldwide stands for Singer,Viking,Pfaff. My Pfaff PC has the exact same needle threader! It seems the company just installs these wonky things on every machine! Sigh.
The Singer 9970 pulled away from the competition with piercing power and stayed ahead for the rest of the tests. Hand look stitches are gorgeous with this machine and it is a joy to do Free Motion Quilting with. The multitude of attachments that come with the machine, make sewing easier and more accurate especially for the novices that I teach.
If you are looking for one sewing machine that can deliver exquisite garment sewing, fine quilting stitches and has everything a sewer could need, this is the one! | 5 |
works as it should | 4 |
Love the colors. Very very nice. Highly recommend!!!!! | 5 |
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED | 4 |
Yep. Just what I needed. The curved end help to lift cloth fibers more than pierce them, though you can pierce when needed. Not good for regular embroidery. | 5 |
Love having on hand! | 5 |
Very overpriced! Hard to open all the tools. Ordered the left handed model doesn't seem to make any difference. Now it just sits in the toolbox. Waste of money. | 2 |
good quality of foam. Nice size for projects. | 5 |
They arrived dried out. | 1 |
Very colorful | 5 |
Great selection , love the colors. Thanks! | 5 |
I like these blocks. I purchased them because of the variety of sizes. I do not like the sharp edges. I have poked myself several times. The edges should be rounded more. I would not recommend these for children. | 3 |
I will not be without my Misti! Makes stamping so much easier and accurate | 5 |
The first time I bought this yarn, the color did not match the picture at all and I returned it. But this blue is much better. It's still not the same color as the picture...actual color is not quite so bright. But it made a lovely, easily washed blanket for my son. The best thing is to take a look at the yarn you like in person first before ordering it. | 2 |
cuts beautifully, even with cereal cardboards. Love both the positive and negative cut outs. Very Versatile! | 5 |
great to use on quilting pieces | 5 |
LOVE this little machine, for sewing and embroidery!! | 5 |
covers well | 5 |
Love this storage tin, finally all my inks are in one place and easy to find. | 5 |
This is a lot smaller than I expected. I haven't had time to play with it. | 4 |
Christmas decorations here I come. | 5 |
Awesome stuff! Way better deal than what my local fabric store has, which is great because I go through this stuff crazy fast! Nice bond. Only thing that bugs me is that it doesn't do well once it's almost empty. It's hard to get that last bit of product out if it's not perfectly vertical. | 5 |
