I have trouble feeding it through. | 3 |
Great! Vibrant colors, good variety, but I wish they had some sort of label other than numbers.
They sharpen well, I haven't had any break or come broken (that I've found).
Would order again. | 5 |
These are good, non-shedding pipe cleaners for a decent price that work. What more can you say about pipe cleaners. | 5 |
Got the mixed version, color held well, metal is pretty dissapointing, mostly bronze (very little silver) and atleast 50 percent flowers. Best for Victorian nature themed jewelry, will get some use but overall did not have the variety shown in the pictures | 3 |
The charger works wonderfully, this has become now a mandatory part of my vehicle. I have been using it for several weeks now and it just is such a reliable and fast helper, not only for hours long drives but it charges quite fast even during a 25 min drive to or from work. We had zero issues charging any of our devices such as iPhone, Samsung phone, Kindle fire, and even a laptop.
It also is very durable and made to survive, I must say. It has already travelled with me from FL to NM, made it through some falls and rough handling and I am pretty sure some coffee spills and still going strong.
Very satisfying purchase.
I received a complimentary sample of this product and this is my unbiased opinion. | 5 |
After having received these, I spent a lot of time remarking them in ink in the 'Number or Letter' sizes by which most patterns refer. This hooks are only marked with the metric MM size which is not really very useful as most crafters do not refer to their needles or hooks by metric shaft diameter sizes. I finally found a list in one of my basic 'how to' crochet books (the Dummies one has a nice list) to equate the metric MM size to the Letter or Number size (steel hooks use numbers 00 - 15 bigger number smaller hook and the aluminum and plastic ones use letters B-Q (early alphabet letters, B C are smaller hooks and P Q are really big hooks)). This set seems to be missing any rhyme or reason for some of the sizes as there are MM sizes which don't correspond to a recognized size/letter/number. Those I marked as steel size 2-1/2 or plastic as D+ as they were not the same size as the 2 or the D. What those will be used for - who knows. | 3 |
Very small, but nice colors and material, wished they sold them in bigger sizes though. | 5 |
Great variety of crosses for the price. | 4 |
I've used this item for metal work. It has a slightly domed head. It does what I expected it to do. It seems sturdy so far and it was a good price for a beginner in metal work. | 5 |
Love the colors! Thank you for my order!! Hope to see more colors soon! Price was reasonable also. Thanks again | 5 |
good quality scissors. would buy again | 5 |
Exactly the size and style I needed for my Brother sewing machine. | 5 |
good and good price | 4 |
Good markers for knitting. Use all the time. | 5 |
I have a severe hand injury which causes a lot of pain when typing, crocheting, knitting, etc. I bought these and they've helped a lot with the swelling and dexterity. I've been using these together with the Penetrex cream. I'm very happy that I purchased these. | 5 |
Not as great as I had hoped for. The paint does "charge" and will illuminate in the dark.... but not very bright and not for very long. As other reviews said, the paint goes on and dries almost clear, slightly opaque and a little "gritty". These are the luminescent particles in the paint. Given other reviews I had hoped the paint was a little clearer as I could paint over colors so you could not see it, then it would illuminate when the lights went out. It did come with a little keyfob light (maybe UV ?) that seemed to charge it up pretty quick, but charging with ambient lighting did not seem to work very well at all. | 2 |
these are great for cp soap. easy release. good size bars. nice shape. if I need more molds I'll continue to purchase these. | 5 |
These applicator bottles with blunt needles on top are useful in myriad ways. I like putting my artists' inks and mediums in as well as using it for application of small amounts of water to paint mixing. Very good bottles! | 5 |
My machine just arrived today and I have been playing with it for about 6 hours now. I love this machine. My experience so far is that anything wrong with the stitches is just about the right tool for the right job (right needle, right thread, right presser foot for right fabric and thickness)...and don't use cheap thread! I can't get over how much I love having a machine that threads the needle for me! I replaced a 20 year old Husqvarna Viking that was $2,000 in its heyday. It was my mother's, and since I cannot afford to pay that much for a sewing machine, I went looking for a good machine with at least the bells and whistles that I was giving up. I researched many machines and ordered this machine due to reviews and Brother's reputation and immediately started playing with it when it arrived. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. The machine is smooth, easy to use, runs like a dream - which makes it almost addicting, so, like the person in an earlier review said, 'Housework'? I must sew!
I have tried some of the decorative stitching, and haven't had any problems. I just had to make sure that I was using the right needle/foot etc. for the stitch and the thickness of the fabric. The book has all of the charts for which thread/needle/foot for each stitch and fabric type and notes on fabric thickness. When I initially started doing the programmed stitches, they weren't turning out. When I looked in the book, it said to use a ballpoint needle if the fabric was thin. It was standard 100% cotton (one-ply), this does not scream 'ballpoint' to me, but I changed it to Ballpoint and took the cheap thread out of the machine and it worked. The backstitch is a little slow, but for 3-5 stitches at the end of a run, I'm not really caring. I like the knee lift for the presser foot very much. It comes in very handy for turning corners. I prefer the foot pedal over pushing the button to start sewing and stop sewing, although the button may grow on me. I do wish that having the foot pedal plugged in did not disengage the run button. Sometimes I reach for the button and I have to be reminded by the LCD display to unplug the foot pedal if I want to use the button. LOL. I love the LCD assist! I do find it odd that the easily visible part of the seam guide is in centimeters, and yet the warranty is a US only warranty. This is not a huge drawback, just odd.
A couple of things: The machine comes with the bobbin threading (loading the bobbin) instructions in the book, as well as a 'Quick Start Bobbin Threading Guide'. I recommend using the Quick Start guide (and again, no cheap thread from discount stores). It is a little easier to follow when it gets to wrapping the thread around the Thread Guide for Bobbin Winding. Also, the machine arrived without the Zipper Foot which is one of the standard accessories, so check all of the parts. Brother has been generous with the accessories on this one. There is no way I am parting with this machine for even a moment to return it for a zipper foot, so I just contacted Brother and asked them for the part.
This is a nice machine, and I am very happy with my purchase. Sewing on this is a pleasure.
Update June 2012: I am still having a love affair with this machine. Not a single real problem and I have spent alot of time sewing with it. No tension problems, no mechanical issues. It still sews the same as when I first took it out of the box. I did run into a slight glitch about 6 months ago. I was sewing curtains using a brocade that ravels if you look at it. The fraying got all caught up in the bobbin case. I easily opened up the case and removed the jam, but was having problems realigning the bobbin casing by looking in the User Guide. I went back through my documentation and saw that Brother had included a one sheet guide for aligning the bobbin case. If you need to reinsert the bobbin casing, I would ignore the User Guide and bypass the frustration. The machine came with a separate one sheet guide that I recommend using. The book does not give any details on aligning the casing. It took me less than 10 seconds once I found the separate instructions. Still going strong! LOVE this machine! | 5 |
Very comfortable and secure with a snug fit. Hard to remove especially when you need to peek under the comfort grip to see the hook size. Other that that, I am happy with the product | 5 |
This wasn't quite big enough for my needs, but I'm sure I will use it for something. | 4 |
As pictured. Pretty! Long enough to have 3 layers on a waist belt! | 5 |
I really like the matte finish of this product, but for stickiness it's only medium. | 3 |
I use this as pattern draft paper on the white side, so the color wasn't at all important to me since all the colors have a white side. I like that it's sturdy and not so thin that it easily tears when I'm drawing and erasing lines. | 4 |
I absolutely love these charm packs from JCS! They are beautiful, great quality materials. They are prefect for my crafting needs! | 5 |
I bought these because I also bought a bundle of silk flowers for my scrapbooking and homemade cards. Love that there's 2 sizes. Very happy with this buy. | 5 |
they work! Much better price than local hobby store | 5 |
After using the first blade only three times, it had problems cutting (even though I use a cutting mat to ensure a proper cutting surface for the blade) and would skip in several places. I replaced the blade with the other one in the package and the second one cut perfectly... for the first three cuts, and then it started doing the same thing... I'm baffled as to why these blades are such poor quality. Fiskar is usually a pretty good quality product. | 1 |
I paid full price for this product. A couple eyes had chipped painting and a couple of the backs were snapped on arrival, but that's pretty good out of 100 pieces. I'd likely buy this product again. | 5 |
This is my favorite batting and I rarely use anything else. I dislike the synthetic batting and since I quilt quite a bit, this is a great option. It's easy to work with and I've never had a bad product yet. | 5 |
this is great for using in the cricut when you are cutting letters, words, and small pieces. | 5 |
I got this machine as a gift. I had 3 separate problems with it right out of the box and spent 2 days watching help videos and reading help tips to no avail. My use for this was to cut out my stamped images. The first issue is no matter what I tried the mat wouldn't hold the cardstock in place and the machine could slide the paper all over during cutting and destroy my stamped images. I tried multiple different papers, tapes to hold it in place , cleaning the mat, different blade depths, pressures , etc etc. Then if I did get the cardstock to stay put no matter what I tried the images always had an uneven border. No, calibration didn't help but rather made the results worse. The 3rd problem the machine was leaving black streak marks all across my papers right where the rollers are that feed the paper in and out. For the high price of this machine it should be ready to use right out of the box. I shouldn't have to research help forums, watch videos, contact the manufacturer, or rip my hair out to get results. Sending this back and I don't recommend unless you want to lose your sanity. | 1 |
These were a gift for my daughter. She seems to really like these and requested these in particular, so she knew what she was looking for. She does a lot with calligraphy and water color. She likes a smooth feel and saturated colors. I've heard no complaints. | 5 |
Perfect for stitching stretchy materials. | 5 |
Okay, but color could be darker, to be ironed onto the fabric my class project is using. | 3 |
numbering is not always correct and some places are not numbered that should be. there are lines (the ones that point to where color goes) that doesn't need to be there (look at pic around the eyes or spots on black/white fish and the yellow fish.. The velum paper that has the numbers on it doesn't line up in all areas (you have to move it around to line up each section) look at the pic where I have it lined up on the black/white fish, now look at top of other fish.. Farther away the worse it gets per section... Thankfully I made copies of each one so I could do one in colored pencils and then in gel pens on the next. Gel pens looks alot better so far. | 3 |
I replaced my old rotary cutter because the replacement blades were nearly the price of this new cutter. I love the soft, comfortable handle and the blade size is perfect for my everyday sewing needs. Great job, Fiskars! | 5 |
Very tiny jars, but you use very tiny amounts at a time. Lovely colors and lots of shine. | 5 |
Good quality beads. I love their colors and shapes. I used them in a variety of my jewelry. They are very sparkling. They give my jewelry an elegant look. definitely order again | 5 |
havent used it yet but i see a quality product . | 5 |
Would not be with my Ranger 15-Inch-by-18-Inch Inkssentials Craft Sheet. I use it for everything ink and even some glue projects. | 5 |
his punch was deeper i would love it. It cuts well,and cuts cardboard unlike some(Martha Stwart punches are generally weak) but it is not deep enough to punch a hole in the middle of a card. Most of them are not but i wish they were. Punches in general are disappointing in that way, and i do wish that the manufactirers would address this issue. | 4 |
Is it fair that I went straight for the Copic markers and to one of my darker colors to try this? Perhaps not, but when it says it won't bleed through, it did. It's also pretty thin, so I expect paint will also warp the paper. Since this appears to be aimed at children, I honestly suggest you instead, go for a roll of art butcher paper. | 1 |
I use it to emboss wood chips. Beautiful & Sparkling! Must buy! | 4 |
Love every single one of them. Good quality, good product. | 5 |
I was hesitant to order this because I saw a lot of comments that said they had trouble getting the candle out of the mold. I had no trouble at all getting my candle out of the mold. I am not sure why people are having trouble but maybe they are pouring too hot? I let mine cool down to 150-160 before pouring into any mold. The higher the temperature when you pour the more likely that the wax will bond to the mold. I love this mold it is a great size and no sharp edges like I always seem to get with aluminum molds. | 5 |
Great colors of sequins. | 5 |
I used many times now, it is very easy to work with and gives the pieces a very unique touch with a very simple hand work.
Highly recommended for anyone. | 5 |
Keeps the thread tight but develops a "memory" if maxed out. If you have a lot of thread and bobbins, these do end up being pricey. | 3 |
A little smelly but works very well on my mixed media work. I paint and collage and it works very well. | 4 |
I love using die sets like this! There is nothing sharper than cutting out an image precisely, and that is precisely what this set does. | 5 |
Well packed though have not used it yet but I think it is durable enough to hold thick fabrics. | 4 |
I've had this punch for years. And while I wouldn't say I use it frequently it has seen its share of work. I think it must be a bit sharper than some of my other punches because its easier to punch thicker paper like card stock. The handle is also quite comfortable and allow me to punch a lot without my hand getting too tired. Any then there's the fact that it punches hearts. Not only are the holes cute but you can save the punched out pieces (which are caught in a tiny chamber) for other projects. I love it! | 5 |
I wanted to make stitch bible and I found the idea to use this product on the web site.
This is good size to make and I think this is good product. | 5 |
This was easy to print on, but when I wen to attach the labels I made, it was hard to get the bubbles out. I used a scraper and carefully them, but the bubbles are still there. I typically use Avery sheets and haven't had this issue before. | 3 |
Precisely cut, completely level. Using as a base in my Halloween Haunted Forest display, to give some dimension to it. | 5 |
I'm loving the colors! A little bit goes a long way. | 5 |
The blades are wonderful! Arrived on time and packaged well.......
Would definitely buy again. Support small business! | 5 |
These shed a little | 4 |
I received this machine and it is great! I am using this for quilting and having fun learning to use this machine too! I also have a Brother CS6000i and love that machine, but I wanted to upgrade and went with another brother machine again. The New machine has so much, for the price it is great otherwise I would be spending a lot more for a machine that has the same functions.. Love the thread cutter when sewing saves on the thread a GREAT MACHINE. | 5 |
This is the best pair of scissors you can buy. | 5 |
had to get used to the 'open-ness' of this thimble, but i like it now. | 5 |
Works as advertised and a great price. | 5 |
Love this set of stamps, stamped very well, just in time for Easter. | 5 |
Once the bead tubes are inserted (the elastic is very tight so it's not easy) the tower is heavy and unwieldy to work with. Great idea but it is difficult to work with in practice. | 3 |
I am very dissatisfied with this product. You have to put the wires into the rack and then it is "ready" for your thread. As soon as you try to put your thread on the wires you realize it is not going to work. I put all the wires on as shown and snapped them into the tray holder, but the spools all squeeze the wires out of the slots and then they lean over. Not a good purchase on my part. | 1 |
Very nice Washi tape. Pretty assortment of colors. Works well on my day planner. | 5 |
amazing product. Dries slowly -- 2 to 3 day (or in Florida humidity more) so plenty of time for kids to work with it. Great results | 5 |
Product arrived well-packaged and speedily. I use these tools to round out the corners of everything from vellum to chipboard. They never fail to do the job. | 5 |
I have wanted this program for a long time. It is fun and easy to use for the most part. And there seems to be quite a bit of tutorial videos. I do recommend this for quilters. | 5 |
When they say Cuttlebug, they mean Cuttlebug only. I bought this set, thinking it was interchangeable with my Sizzix Big Shot...it was not. So I gave it away. | 5 |
The tips on these tweezers do not meet. Sorry not worth the money . | 1 |
I have used these pencils for many years and I am very pleased with them. They add a professional finish to all of your colored pencil projects. I have used them on parchment work in the past, and I am now using them on my Zentangle art work. | 5 |
Great boxes, I purchased three to use for my art supplies. | 5 |
Awesome Product.. Would by again | 5 |

I was wondering why there were so many bad reviews, but I took a chance. I now see why, because this clay is the type that can be fired in a kiln (as it says on their website). If you've ever worked with that type of clay, like I have, you know exactly what it's like. No, it doesn't really stay together unless you slip and score it. It will crumble apart if the pieces are too thin. It turns to mush if you get it too wet even when dried. But that's just what that type of clay does.
Unfortunately the package and Amazon both don't give enough information, but from their site:
"Air-dried clay is fragile and should be coated with shellac to give it some strength and seal it from moisture. To make pieces hard and permanent, bisque fire in a kiln to Cone 04 (1971F, 1077C) before decorating"
I wouldn't recommend this for kids unless you have a kiln, because honestly the things they make probably won't stay together. Buy crayola air dry clay for that purpose. If you know what you're getting, this clay is fun to play around with even if you don't have a kiln. I've used it to create figures by balling it up, letting it dry, and carving away the clay (which is very easy to do). Doing this, the figures don't fall apart unless you make it too thin, and you can make it pretty detailed. When it's carved, dust and small pieces fall off that can be collected and reformed into the wet clay with water to create more things. | 4 |
Not what I expected. The texture of the paint comes out runny at first which can definitely ruin a project. I did shake it be great before using it and still the same. | 3 |
LOVE LOVE the Cameo | 5 |
Don't waste your time. I returned these because both blades appear very used...they will not cut quilters cotton without leaving attached threads all along the cut line. Just like my worst used blades. | 1 |
These are my go to markers. Love the brush tip and fine tip options. Great color options and price fornthe set in a nice carry case. | 5 |
scissors not sharp enough to cut anything more than paper. I sharpened the scissors and they still don't cut well. Worst product I ever purchased. Any I believe in the quality of the Singer brand but these scissors do NOT meet Singer standard! | 1 |
not as well made as the one it replaces. It could reference a source for tips for use. This hammer feels slightly, ever so slightly off balance. The attachment to the head is not cleanly finished, a glob of sealant heavier on one edge. It does not look like a fine tool. | 3 |
Love this baby album ,I am going to get the one for the boy. YES! | 5 |
I returned it because it arrived several days later than expected, and I had purchased a spool of thread somewhere else. the spool of thread is so small, about the smallest spool of thread I have ever seen. | 2 |
Nice and sharp but did not work well as appliqu scissors. The are very thick and could not lay across the fabric well. Also the scissors were very stiff when I first received them. They have now loosened up after a month. | 2 |
It's a box, it hold my paper. Not much more to say. | 4 |
This stand is perfect for the large cones of thread I purchased for my extensive sewing projects. | 4 |
the color is a little darker, but, I still love the color | 5 |
I have a lot of Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains, and I wouldn't be able to do what I do without them. | 5 |
This tool works so much better than a loop turner; within a few seconds I had figured out how to use it. The set may seem pricey, and it is possible to use chopsticks or other implements lying around the house for this purpose, but the different sized rods really help.
The only problem is that there are many small pieces and it's easy to lose one or two. I kept them in the original packaging with a rubberband wrapped around, but that was insufficient to secure them. Next time around, I'll buy a small pencil case or use a ziplock bag to hold them.
UPDATE, 11/26/2016
I bought a second set because I lost the smallest rod. It works well, but for the thinnest straps (thinner than 3/8") it may not work. There's a very expensive set of turners I've seen that cost around $60. They look as if they're designed for very thin tubes. | 5 |
Flexible and come with a nice little pouch.
Worth it! | 5 |
The quality of these is good and the material lays the pastel material down smoothly | 5 |
Haven't used it yet - but it feels smaller than the regular OLFA cutters. My hands are not big, either. It feels suited more for a young teen, not an adult. Wondering now if it's a knock-off. Says OLFA all over it, and the packaging - but it feels like it could be a copy. NOT in normal OLFA packaging sold in the US. Hope to set up my quilting table next week to give it a try. I'll post more information later, one way or another. Hoping it is authentic and works as I hope it will! | 4 |
Very good for beading jewelry. | 5 |
These are awesomely fun. For not much more than a set of Magicals (4 or 5 colors), you get 12 colors in the package with a wider range of colors that work just as well. This kind of watercolor creates beautiful effects, especially with water from any kind of a spray bottle or flicked from a paint- or toothbrush. | 5 |
This a lot of fun | 5 |
I haven't made the afghan yet, but I love the feel color and weight. I experimented with some stitches and loved the look and ease of use. It is perfect yarn for making items for a baby--but could be just as good for sweaters and other items for a little girl. | 5 |
Didn't really want the star, but it was a package deal, and I wanted a second smaller heart. I'm sure I'll use the star cutter. | 5 |
Adding to my collection of beads for my crafts. Good feel and color | 4 |
