It has plenty of room plus pockets for extras. Love the polka dots. | 5 |
Great for the price, used it for a costume and looked fantastic. Don't use this for real clothes, people will laugh at you. Seriously. | 4 |
Not much to say.. it's Tuxedo Black, and it refills the ink pad perfectly. | 5 |
Great pad to use with the silicone pad to emboss your die cuts on you Big Shot or Vagabond. Use it with only 1 plate instead of 2. Use with thinlits, Spellbinders, etc. dies. | 5 |
The foam pieces are of different densities, many different sizes. I tried using it to make a neck pillow, but it was lumpy and uncomfortable, even after hand cutting some of the pieces. I would have to pack it very densely to hide the lumps. At the moment, I have no idea what I'll use it for. There is also a bit of an unpleasant smell. | 2 |
Really awesome mat. So much better than TH because it wipes off so easy and nothing sticks to it. Love it. Want the larger one. | 5 |
Love, love, love these little bushes! Great for small detail work. YES! I would buy these again. A super good buy. Can't say first bad thing about them. | 5 |
A very heavy, very big book. Paper texture is toothy without being rough. Don't drop it. Ot us heavy enougb to damage itself, or you. Mine got crunched before boxing, but I'll get another for making my beastiary. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed, much more reasonable than Joann Fabric Store. | 5 |
Very good product. Strong and do not break easily | 5 |
These Head pins keep there color tone very well and served their purpose making earrings. | 5 |
This is one of my favorite sets of 12 super-lon #18 cords. They are very bright colors, and they are a lot of fun to work with. Thank you. :) | 5 |
I use Wildfire for all my beading projects! | 5 |
Great card stock..love it | 5 |
These are really lovely. The adhesive isn't very strong so would recommend use of a clear glue spray or other similar application if you want PERMANENT hold. | 4 |
thank u very much | 4 |
NICE BUT I ORDERED THE WRONG THING MY FAULT AND HAD TO GET A REFUND | 5 |
A must have for adult coloring | 5 |
Love love il makes a beautiful card | 5 |
I use this in my Lamy Safari. It's smooth and silky. Also with a dip pen. It's not a replacement for India Ink and it is waterproof in the sense that if you are writing normally, on typical writing paper. not laying on a thick line on let's say watercolor paper with a nib pen, it will dry quickly..but if you intend to sketch or ink pencil lines with it on Bristol or any heavier then normal writing paper, I'd say you better let it dry for 12 - 24 hours before you expect it not to smudge if it rubs against anything..like another piece of paper, your finger or adding water or watercolor paint to it. It will smudge and bleed unless totally dry. So be forewarned.
It is very smooth and silky in my fountain pen and it is very black...I use it for sketching and inking pen and ink drawings when I want to use my fountain pen. I've never compared it to Aurora Ink (supposedly the blackest of black for FP's)but its black enough for my applications.
If you want really black India Ink for dip pens, calligraphy or such, that goes on smooth as hot tar and is as black,go for Dr Martins Black Star Matte or Winsor Newton INDIAN Ink. Waterproof. Be careful, W&N makes 2 kinds that are packaged very similarly..the one with a spider on the package is the waterproof one. The other one is not waterproof and it has a dragon on the box. Both W&N -(with the spider) and Dr Martins are thick and very black and they stay black when dry. But don't put it in a fountain pen! That's where Noodlers comes in. | 4 |
We have not used yet but it is what we wanted and is as stated in the ad. | 5 |
I like that these needles are comfortable to hold. They were a very good price. However they did take months to arrive. So if you have a timeline to finish a product you might be disappointed. They don't have the letter sizing. They use numbers which is a bit confusing but I figure I can look up the charts on the internet in order to figure the letter and number sizing for my hooks. The aluminum hooks seems to be of the same quality as I find in the stores. | 4 |
Very cute, good quality pigments with high opacity. Love it. | 5 |
Cheap quality. Better to pay more and get better quality | 2 |
it was same as i use but a little cheaper with free shipping | 5 |
I took these to an Anita Goodesign event and everyone was insanely jealous. The scissors really help to keep the blade away from the stitches when doing applique. | 5 |
I purchased mine at my local craft store and was able to use a 40% off coupon making mine $18.00. Yay! I wanted a smaller one to do A2 cards and this is so perfect. The embossing folders are reasonable and you can use the Paper Studio and Cuttlebug ones in it as well. They run about $5.99 each but you can find them cheaper (online auction site which I will not mention). I am very excited to make some fun stuff with my new friend! | 5 |
I wish I knew how to pronounce "hake" brush... HAYK or HAH-kay? These are a triple set that at first I considered excessive. I didn't realize I was ordering a set but they're not expensive so I didn't mind getting three. After using them though, it makes sense to have a small, medium, and large for the various size papers I use.
These are pretty good for applying a proper wash and the bristles don't end up all over your work of art so that's good. The handles however are flat and made of a very inexpensive wood (like the balsa wood used for toy airplanes) so that the feel of the brush is a bit uncomfortable. Easily solved, though. Just wrap the handles in coban (the stretchy textured tape used in wound care from the pharmacy) or even cloth. | 4 |
love it for quilting | 5 |
If you are working on a kumihimo project where the cords are lengthy, you're going to need a set of these bobbins. They are easy to use and make the work more tidy as you go along, rather than having really long cords hanging beneath your project as you work. | 5 |
I was hoping for a quick project but these are very time consuming and for me they did not look as nice as the picture but if you have done these before this a most likely a good kit for you | 3 |
The quality of the expressions vinyl is the best - it always looks great when applied and it easy to weed. | 5 |
This is a very nice portfolio for the money. My portfolio's are used mainly for storage of sketches and other matted pieces. I will be buying more as needed. | 4 |
I have not actually used this one but exactly like another one that I own that has squares instead of rectangles. I made hard lotion bars and they popped right out once they were hardened. So I would recommend these for soap making or hard lotion bars! | 5 |
I will not be purchasing from this brand again. I mistakingly purchased these confusing them with another product with blue in the product name, and the quality is definitely lacking 1/3 of the buckles do not latch properly or are visually deformed (crooked). Many have scratches and imperfections in the finish even though they shipped in individual baggies. Try a different brand! | 2 |
I have used the Warm and Natural quilt fill product many times and it is always the same and always excelent. | 5 |
These are well used. | 5 |
I have used 2 of the different sizes so far, one to make a small baby afghan & one using a thick chenille yarn. The bamboo needles are light weight & very comfortable to hold. The connecting cord is a very flexible plastic that doesn't seem to kink as much as other cords I own do. All in all, a VERY good value for the money spent! | 4 |
Very happy with the quality of these paints. Super pigmented, lush colors. Wonderful case made of high quality heavy duty material. The paints arrived way ahead of schedule. Weeks early. I use these every day! | 5 |
Purchased for a 10 year old...she is VERY happy!! Directions are clear, bands appear decent, but it is amazing how many you will use for one bracelet so get another pack of bands to go along with it if its a gift. | 5 |
you only get one and photo suggest you get a case. | 4 |
I wish these stayed stickier longer. It's really a 4-star product but I'm making it five to compensate for people who don't understand the difference between reviewing a product and reviewing a seller. | 5 |
The tip on this thing bent on my third use. Now I have to use it bent and sometimes it doesn't heat up at all. So I have to keep pushing it until it does heat up. I'm disappointed with this and now I'm looking for something better. This is my second thread zapper, the other one was another brand. | 2 |
A great set of dies. | 5 |
I like the ability to cut larger than on the other die cut machines I have. The only drawback that I can see is that thicker dies (like Sizzix) that worked with my Big Shot are too thick to use in the Grand Calibur. It seems easier to crank than the others. All things considered, this does what I want it to do, which is cut with larger dies or cut several different ones at same time. | 4 |
Seem to be of good quality but are smaller than I thought they would be and I find them to be difficult for me to open. Would be better to use on an item for a child. That's why I only gave it 4 stars. | 4 |
Helps my ring to not skip around, but not so comfortable. | 4 |
these are cheap. You don't want to use these to cut anything but paper. You can feel where the blade ends in the handle when you cut | 3 |
These markers are so entertaining when the grandchildren are here.... they have produced some great artwork...
Only con on any of these markers is the cleaning...it takes quite a bit of cleaning to get the windows back to squeaky clean but oh so worth the time... and fun of watching beautiful ideas appear.. | 5 |
Used it several times. | 5 |
The earring safety backs were too small it made it hard for me to insert them and also remove them. I wouldn't recommend it. | 3 |
I like the fact that I can have a sample selection...I like the quality, nice for "spiffing" up a card or project!! | 5 |
These work really good when you are on the go and only want to take a few bobbins with you. | 5 |
Plaid is reliable. | 5 |
Waited a long time to get it but worth the wait | 5 |
Can't beat the price. The wire does what I need it to do and I haven't received any complaints from those who bought jewelry I made with it. Trust me, they'll complain about the littlest thing so since the last thing I want is complaints, I love this product. | 5 |
This machine is totally awesome. It allows me to pre-cut fabric pieces for applique work, but be sure to use the "fabric cutting blade" for fabric tasks. Tips: Practice starting with a lower setting on the blade and cut a tiny shape before trying to cut a large shape on fabric. Write notes of what settings work on different kinds of fabrics. If you accidentally cut through the mat, keep the cut out piece in place and affix on the back side of the mat with a piece of duct tape. It will take a bit of practice to get the depths right. About a 2 or 3 works with gingham, broadcloth, and light weights of fabric. Start with lower numbers. Take notes. Put some time into learning to avoid frustration before setting out to accomplish a huge task. It is a wonderful machine for cutting fabrics, but invest in the "Fabric Cutting Blade" too, for that task. The bundle kit was a great investment for getting started because it included necessary items that didn't need to be purchased separately. | 5 |
Good product I would buy it again, and recommend it to anyone who's looking for something like this especially for this low price
Works exactly like it should be not much to say about it! It does what it's design/made for.
I would recommend to a friend! | 4 |
These scissors are great. I use them for a lot of things. | 5 |
Does exactly what it is supposed to. I love that I can round off thick pieces of paper. | 5 |
Perfect little kit! Great for a beginner. | 5 |
Just what I am looking for well order again | 5 |
These are very flimsy. There was one or two broken ones in the package. Didn't notice them at first. Made a crossbody strap for a purse and the Clasp broke after a couple months. Would not order these again. Not strong enough to support any real weight. | 1 |
I love my Dapping block! Its affordable and works well for my needs. I like it better than metal blocks for the sound, however you deal with side effects like your metal diecuts being stuck in your wood on occasion (ok kinda often) but still, I am happy with my wood block and very happy that it comes with not one but two punches! ;-P
Its also great for those who don't know if they really need a dapping block, or don't need one very often. This is an expensive one you can grab and test or keep it for those rare moments you do need it. Even if you get a metal one later you will still find use for your wooden one, I like it for my late night projects I can do without waking everyone lol, but also I like the texture it leaves on my metal. Its different than metal on metal for sure. Not to mention in places like where I live with high humidity, close to salt water, rust gets on EVERYTHING, my wood block happily sits there requiring little maintenance... on occasion I give it a little coconut oil (fractionated) and its happy as a clam.
I highly recommend this block and hope you enjoy it !
Mahalo! | 5 |
After reading mixed reviews, I thought that I would give it a go. I am more than a little patient. I have been sitting here trying every trick in the reviews to get this to work and it still keeps breaking. I was not given the option of contacting the seller, but would love to know if they have any ideas! I tried a net, no net, cap on, cap off, lowering tension, etc., and still the thread broke with only a few stitches into the project. Now I'm more than a little aggravated as I could have put my money to better use than another mess! | 1 |
I ordered 5 pack and 2 pack had some missing. | 3 |
My favorite, easy to use. | 5 |
This is a beautiful addition to any card. I love the detail that it creates. I'll be using it a lot. | 5 |
I just got mine today! I love them. Using them to make home made pacifier clips, toy clips, etc. I love the colors! | 5 |
Very nice book for the shoe type socks wish they had included other kinds of socks knit on different gauge looms.. | 4 |
Didn't leave a good score mark | 4 |
I've only had my machine for a few days but I already love it! I have a very expensive, computerized serger that is hardly used - too complicated and impossible to thread. I was able to thread this machine my very first try and it stitches out beautifully. My daughter-in-law has the 1034D and she loves hers also. | 5 |
Perfect circles. I wanted this to try a project I saw on the Brother site. I was unsure if it would actually fit my machine. Brother Quattro 6700D/ but it does. (I went to brother to check, and the one there looks exactly the same, and said it would fit my machine. I suspect different packaging on this one is due to newer model of machines)
It's simple to attach, and works perfectly. I wrote three names in a circle, tried straight stitch, zig zag and two decorative stitches. All came out in nice circles. Back to the Brother website having a project of the month using this device. I may not do the exact project, but all the instructions are there for making some cool looking flowers too. which I think can adapt to other uses. ALSO there is a step by step pictorial on the web site of how to install this on your machine, and how to use it! | 5 |
Useful and economic tool set. | 4 |
The best knitting aid ever. | 5 |
Works great for making metal rings for kiln fired pieces. Even can be put into a microwave kiln. I use this when fusing pieces for wind chimes. | 5 |
First of all I'll say I'm happy with these pastels. I am not tremendously experienced in oil pastels but I've been experimenting recently with a lot of old craft items including a big mixed media set. I quite enjoyed the oil pastels but wanted to try something a little better without too big of an investment. These fit the bill and give me the oil pastel experience I've been lead to believe I should expect.
Starting with the physical aspects, the packaging seems robust enough though the foam holding them down is a little thin. I haven't felt especially compelled to put them in a nicer box which says that (for me) they are acceptable. Despite the thin foam they came to me intact.
I have previously only draw with some very cheap oil pastels (which I'll compare later) but I did try several brands that a store had in open stock. I found these to be comparably soft to the Sennelier but the feel a little more "greasy" when being applied vs the Sennelier which I'd describe as "creamy". They come in a plain cylinder form without the Sennelier bullet points (which suits me fine) but that's an obvious difference. I found that they didn't crumble much (the Cray-pas specialist crumbled more). Overall I'd say they stand up well to the competition.
Next I'd like to talk about painting and blendability. I tried these out on watercolour paper, mixed media paper and pastel paper. On all 3 the softness allows them to apply readily in fairly thick layers. They smooth on the page easily with a finger, cloth or stump. They can be layered over one another but attempting to layer then blend can be tricky: it seems better to simply draw the colours in from their respective sides getting gradually thinner toward one another then smooth out perpendicular to the gradient. They worked nicely for sgraffito and all general oil pastel techniques. The colours are definitely bold but there are a few areas where I felt they lacked, for example I couldn't find a really strong primary red. Having said that I was not disappointed and doubt this will hold me back.
As for value I'd like to compare to the cheap set I tried out before. They were a very cheap set of 36 from a retail store. A little measurement tells me that these are about 2x the volume (i.e. provide 2x the materlal). Accounting for that these are 2x the price per volume (compared to an absolute bottom of the line set) and about 1/4 the price of Senellier. Compared to these the cheap set I had previously feel terrible, waxy and crumbly in application with weak colours and hard to blend: these are definitely much better value. Compared to the Sennelier these are definitely not quite as pigmented or smooth or shaped as elegantly but to a beginner I doubt the difference would be that noticeable: for a beginner/student these are probably better value.
Overall I'm very happy with the way these work. I definitely no longer feel I'm being limited by the media so I can work on improving my skills. If you are looking for an introduction to oil pastels I would say you won't go too far wrong with this set. | 5 |
I love this .. This machine is very much worth the extra cost. The cheaper one tangles and I wasted more time untangling than actually winding yarn. I absolutely love this and went straight to work on my zillions of skiens of yarn and it went quickly. | 5 |
I buy a lot of my wire from this company as the local craft stores do not carry everything that they offer. Great quality. | 5 |
This is one of the best cutters I've ever used!!! Dont' have to worry about closing the blade as it closes on its own each time. Sharp as can be and accurate. | 5 |
Pictures shows it as iridescent but its clear also one of my rolls was shorter & pieced together. | 3 |
The blades are still pretty sharp after a year's use but they aren't (and were never) very nonstick. Every time I cut tape or stick-on labels, which is often, the adhesive residue builds up on the blades and they have to be cleaned or they will stick to anything else I try to cut. In comparison, my Westcott Titanium Nonstick scissors cut just as well, are also used on tape and labels, and rarely need to be cleaned. I wouldn't buy these again. | 3 |
Perfect for school use. | 5 |
Awesome product. Love Superstore also, buy alot from them and have never had a problem. | 5 |
Great gel pens! Love all of the glitter! They all work fine and last for a while. | 5 |
I didn't realize that the entire item was plastic. I thought the rings would be metal. Works OK and should have read the description a little more carefully.
It does the job just a little flimsy | 2 |
Love.love.love this hook. People tend to hold their crochet hooks differently when crocheting so anything other than the standard aluminum Bates or Boyes hooks could either be great or not so great. The Armour Hook for me is great for 2 reasons. The yarns (even cheaper yarn) slides on and off the hook easier. An actual noticeable difference. Because of the way I hold my hook my thumb actually rests on the small thumb rest (at least that is what I think it is; it's a flat part of the rubber handle). I also find myself splitting the yarn less as well. I have tried all types of hooks recently and this 1 hook caused me to go out right away and buy the set. I recommend to anyone, though, they try individual hooks until they find what works best for them before they buy a set. | 5 |
great for making cards... | 5 |
It works well with my watercolor endeavors | 5 |
This was our first time caning chairs and this product was easy to use. Will buy it again! | 5 |
I really like these zippers. nice colors. I make purses and pouches and this fits well. Easy to cut down to size if needed. I will buy more again when needed. | 5 |
This yarn knits up quickly, is rather soft and perfect for blanket making! | 5 |
Exactly what I wanted. The quality is superb and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. | 5 |
Overall not bad hooks for being made from bamboo, but one of the larger hooks had a splinter and yarn was getting caught on it. Aside from that I really like this set. | 4 |
Love these brushes | 5 |
The instruction booklet with the Zutter is a little lacking in relevant directions for using it, or too many things get banished to charts, but the machine itself cuts very cleanly through paper and thin chipboard and paperboard (a cereal box). There are some good videos on YouTube to help with some of the basics. I did think trying to punch an entire length of paper for more than a few sheets is quite tedious, though. I have an office-type full-page binder punch that refuses to punch thin paper, though 28 lb or higher is fine; the Zutter cut thin copy paper nicely.
Be prepared, then, for a steep learning curve for a crafting tool. I may take mine up to our local Michael's Crafts and see if anyone there is better at using it than I am; I simply learn faster from seeing someone do it live. | 4 |
Wonderful cutter ! | 5 |
Nice and thick. I wish I had seen they had clear before I hit buy. | 5 |
This was great for the price. Super thin easy to find frames for them. | 5 |
