I have a brother serger, also project runway branded, so I am familiar with how brother works. This sewing machine is a great machine for beginners or even more advanced sewists. it is really easy to set up, the feet are easy to change out. It comes with a wide table for quilting. I find the wide table also helpful for making place mats.
Following the manual it's fairly easy to thread, like most sewing machines it's a process but not difficult. The automatic threader is really just a larger area to put the thread through that then pulls it through the needle. The bobbin is easy to thread and the plate is clear so you can actually see the bobbin and know when you are running low on thread.
There are a lot of stitches, the stitches are easy to change and program. There is a really handy reference in the back of the manual that tell you what to stitches to use for doing different types of material.
The machine is fairly quiet and has a nice smooth rhythm.
There are three speeds, super slow, medium, and fast. This is helpful for newer sewists so the machine doesn't get away if one is heavy footed on the presser foot. 0
the machine light is great, you can really see what you are sewing. Some are dim.
So far the only two cons I've found with it is the thread cutter is awful and will pull the thread more than cut it, scissors work best. Also to reverse the stitch you have to hold on to the button rather than just set it. Otherwise this is a great machine with lots of options, a good selection of feet, and pretty much everything one would need in a machine. | 5 |
This pad Sucks!!! The paper quality is good ..... But don't fold the pad over because ALL the paper falls out of the binder UGH!!!! Hate it,don't waste your money on this drawing pad!! | 1 |
First of all yes these are inexpensive (quality as well as purchase price) beads, but that is what I was expecting. You can't spend .10 a piece for something then expect it to be the same quality as you would get when you pay $2 or in some cases up to $10 a piece as I have seen some similar charms going individually.
I did not buy these for a charm bracelet as some people who have complained about them did. I personally bought them as a token piece to put on the end of some of my hand made bracelets. For this purpose they were perfect. I would definitely order again!
Before I list the pros/cons I do want to mention that my shipment was from DIY Jewelry Depot http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A2KU44GQAU4COJ However there are other with this listing that is somehow linked. When I click on the product from my orders and when I pulled up this review to edit it took me to the other seller for some reason. The description & photo are exactly the same just a different seller. I had to actually pull up the DIY Jewlery Depot Store find it to reorder from them because I was so happy with my first order.
The Pros & Cons:
Both... :)
Pro & Con depending on what you are expecting: I did not get exactly what is pictured. I received a nice mixed lot with several of the same ones many that were not pictured that I liked much more than the ones pictured. Having multiples of the same was great for my purpose since I can put a matching pair on the end of some of my work if needed. I will post a list below of what I actually received.
Pro: I received way more than I expected (I selected the 80 option & received about 120). More than 80 were actual 'charm style', the rest were more thin spacer type beads.
Pro: Although they shipped from Hong Kong I received them in less than a week!!
Con: They were not packaged very well. They came in a padded envelope & although they may have been in an organza bag to start their trip, by the time I received them they were dumped out in the envelope. Had it ripped in shipping they would not have made the trip.
What I actually received (most of what I received are not pictured):
10 Round Faced Alarm Clocks (Pictured)
8 Cartoon Bunny Rabbits
8 Strawberries
7 Yin Yang Symbols
7 Angels (5 of the one pictured, 2 of another one)
6 Purses
5 Owls (pictured)
5 Cubes with card Suits on them
4 Lions
4 Star Fish (pictured)
4 Ballet Shoes
3 4ever (#4 with ever written down the side)
3 Hearts (2 of one kind one of another - neither pictured)
3 Dogs (2 Bull Dogs one of another kind)
2 Teddy Bears
2 Cartoon Cat Face
1 each of the following:
Guitar, Elephant, Leaf, Kings Crown, Oven mitt (the guitar & elephant were my personal favorites)
The rest were more spacer bands or spacer rings
12 (the largest) Bands with hearts (pictured)
4 about 2/3 size of above bands with flowers (not pictured)
3 about 1/2 size of heart bands with what looks like a bow
6 spacer that look more like 'center pieces' for lamp work beads
6 very thin spacers that look similar (but not quite) to the really thin ring ones
2 Bails one plain one with a bow like design | 5 |
high quality die and nice photopolymer stamps | 5 |
Arrived earlier than expected. So easy to use, at least for this novice. Absolutely no smell & bonus points for drying clear. Definitely will Art Resin again! | 5 |
I chose this rating because I needed a marker that would be bright on fabric and not bleed. These are great! I will buy again. I like the smaller tip because I can use them to write on fabric as well as for color effect.
As always you do need to do a sample on the fabric you want to use. Looser woven fabrics might bleed a little. I like using tight
weave fabrics when using markers. | 5 |
MIX IT RIGHT. | 4 |
These were larger cores than I thought, but didnt' have anything to compare it to at the time. But I found that I could still use them with my Crop a dile 2. I wanted them for making paper beads, and finishing the ends. But they are larger than the bead size I make. I will be able to use this still. | 3 |
quick ship!!!! nice paint assortment. | 5 |
I like it. I have not tried it for regular worsted weight skeins of yarn but for the cotton skeins I'm using now, it works well. It is flimsy feeling but for what I paid I did not expect the best quality. | 4 |
First saw these recommended by sewing "guru" blog, but gasped at the price. When Amazon listed the Buckley scissors for a much lower price, had to try them. Have now bought all three Buckley scissors from Amazon. These are really sharp, right down to the point. | 5 |
super cute stickers | 5 |
These came faster than I anticipated which was wonderful. I love these brushes | 5 |
LOTS to work with here. Enough for about a billion hot mitts. By far my favorite brand of batting. | 5 |
Too light weight to use for books. A waste of money. | 1 |
In not time at all and with very little effort, you can make the most adorable little flowers. I couldn't believe how well they turned out. I love them! | 5 |
The best most trusted glazes I use | 5 |
This is hubby's third PBN. He did his first one about a month ago and averages thirty hours per painting. Being retired, it gives him something to do other than the "honey do list". We just ordered two more, one for each of us to work on. This night-time cabin scene is charming and not too difficult. We love the Plaid paintings as there is no mixing to do and the pictures come out looking like the print on the box. We wish Plaid would come out with a desert scene like Monument Valley or Zion National Park.........maybe someday. | 5 |
i purchased these threaders to use with a pair of calla Lilly shaped beads to create interchangeable bead earrings. they work extremely well for this purpose. i had also purchased a large 35mm white agate peace symbol bead which was drilled top to bottom and the weight of this threader made it feed through quickly with NO BINDING along the way. that is some feat, considering that i also bought a different pair of threaders from ANOTHER website and the weight did not carry itself through my large 35mm peace symbol beads. I HEARBY PROMISE THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TYPE OF THREADER THAT I WILL PURCHASE. I WILL OLY USE BOX CHAIN THREADERS DUE TO ITS STRENGTH. | 5 |
Amazing item!!!! Looks exactly as the picture and the quality is very good!!Love it~~ | 5 |
Bought my daughter a bunch of wool, needles, and a book for Christmas. She absolutely loved it. We had to buy a little pink wool from Michaels to finish a particular project and the quality of this wool from Amazon was so much better than what we got from Michael's. You can't go wrong with this wool for felting projects. It's super soft, the colors are beautiful. | 5 |
Bobbins work good with my machine XL580 | 4 |
cool kit learned a lot from it | 5 |
A free sample was provided for test and review purposes.
This is a nice acrylic yarn pack of eight colors. The yarn was easy to work with and, using my standard crochet hooks, I found that it didn't split or snag. It is a 100% acrylic twist yarn, similar in style to Red Heart. The difference is that it is much softer. I would categorize this yarn as a light worsted weight. It isn't quite thin enough to be a sport weight (3) but it is less bulky than a standard worsted weight. I cannot tell if the yarn is dyelotted and the colors are not listed on the skeins.
A lot of people have used this for craft items and I think that is an excellent use of it. I would also consider it for amigurumi accents. I would hesitate to use it as a main color as you would need to be sure you had enough to finish the project. When compared to other name brand bon-bon style packs, these skeins are considerably larger.
To get some idea of what could be done with it, I crocheted a thin scarf using two colors. I used a 5.00 (US G) crochet hook and used half double crochet for the entire project. My scarf is 64 inches long and 2 inches wide. I could get three rows from each skein with some left over (the blue had less as it was also my chain row.) The scarf is thin and more decorative than warming. If I had used four colors, I would have had a really nice warm scarf and that is probably what I will do for my next project with the yarn.
While I understand the concept of a rainbow pack, the lighter blue skein is of less use for me. A skein of black instead would have made this the perfect small package for my needs. | 5 |
I use these in card making. They are the perfect size for cards, all the gems face one side and the wire they are on is firm (but pretty). None of the gems have broken off even through I have massaged that wire over and over to get them to arch and lay down correctly. They are clean little gem heads also. Easy to cut wire with wire cutters, and to bend a single wire around others to create bouquets of gems. Love these little things.
One star off because of the way they connected. The wire is set up in a zig zag, branching effect from the main wire stem. You can't have 2 or 3 of these on their own stem, cut at different lengths. Each wire stem has 5 gems branched off it at right angles.
I would recommend these, and would buy them again. | 4 |
The pad contains 12 thick sheets of granulated paper. The quality is fine for adult and/or children. Would purchase it again. | 5 |
If you need to make any card in a hurry, then this is the cartridge to have. After making a card with this cartridge, you can leave the card as is or add an embellishment, either way the card looks finished. | 5 |
Just what the doctor ordered for taking the sketching materials with you. This is perfect for sketching a harbor scene or a beautiful mountain top. Great product. | 5 |
Great products overall. | 4 |
This is very thick and creamy heavy body paint. If you want a similar product for a cheaper price, go to Dick Blick and try their heavy body artist acrylics which can be mixed with any acrylic paint or medium for a thicker paint. I use the heavy body paints to mix with regular acrylics to make stencil paint. Be sure to mix with enough acrylic to make it thin enough so it does not take all the bristles out of your stencil brushes. Practice on cardboard until consistency is similar to stencil paint. | 5 |
I used a teaspoon for my first batch of DIY lip balm. Probably would use half that next time. It's nearly a lifetime supply | 5 |
Beautiful Ribbon! So happy to have a large spool so don't have to keep running to store for more. Please with quality of ribbon, price and ship time! | 5 |
I've seen better cutting mats but not for the this price. It does the job and it's a convenient size...............give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's a little thin and more stiff than some of the better ones I've seen. And repeated cutting in the same area doesn't self heal eventually. But.. All in all, I was satisfied with this purchase. | 3 |
These needles work very well for the projects I've used them for (mostly hats). I bring these needles with me everywhere! They're lightweight, smooth, and feel great in your hands. Unlike metal needles, these bamboo needles leave no pigments on your skin or yarn because they're natural. I have recommended these needles to a number of my friends; they all enjoyed using them. | 5 |
quick delivery. excellent | 5 |
plastic broke-would not purchase again | 3 |
The extended cutting pads were and are far more durable then there smaller product. My short ones look like they could crack at any minuet. | 5 |
Perfect fit. Took other reviewers advice and glued pennies to the bottom for stability. Mfg really should make the base heavy enough to not need customers to add weight. | 4 |
work great. nice set. I like the little case they come in too. Helps to keep them from getting misplaced. | 5 |
Makes a beautiful card. | 5 |
Tim Holtz products are solidly, good products. I just had to have this stamp. Great detail, perfect for water color. Product came quickly, great price what more could one ask for? | 5 |
I got this to use for making chenille pot holders. It works, but you do need to make about a half-inch snip in each row with scissors first, and I just use scissors for the shortest rows. It gets piled up with fuzz after a bit, but you can easily clean that out with a toothpick. How often you have to do that depends on how thick your flannel is. Still, it is SO MUCH easier on old hands than all that cutting with scissors that it's well worth the price if you are making very many. I've probably made around 8 sets of pot holders and am still on the first blade setting, but I was noticing on the last one that it might have been getting a big sluggish - so, I may need to put it on the next one. Even so, I can make a lot of pot holders with one blade, at this rate. | 4 |
Great tool for home projects and sewing. Precise tool that made it easy to pick up smalls parts and place items exactly where they need to be. | 5 |
Used this yarn in this hat here and have made 3 so far with this yarn. The yarn is very soft. I gave away all three hats and everyone I gave them to loves the hat. It is thin so I double it when crocheting. | 5 |
Great idea, but it only accepts very small needle eyes and then 1/2 the time (or more) its won't thread. Honestly I have a better chance "Hit & Miss" with my bare eyes. | 2 |
I previously purchased Dritz quilting pins and was disappointed in how they went through the fabric. I am old and cynical but decided to try the Clover fine quilting pins, with some apprehension. I must say, I was not disappointed. I am very happy with my purchase. I really want to try the Japanese quilting pins I have read about, but to date, however, Clover does not disappoint. I definitely recommend the Clover fine quilting pins. | 4 |
it didn't work as i thought it would....ends still rough after use | 2 |
Really gives handmade cards a beautiful look. | 5 |
Loved the shine great for my dog bows. | 5 |
Polymer Clay is a great source for your artistic output.
Lasting seemingly forever, this product doesn't seem to deteriorate over time so if you accidently leave it open it's not really going to become unuseable. If it becomes britle you can always add some mineral oil to get it back to its original state.
You can also add mineral oil to the Sculpey Polymer Clay if you want to have a more fluid like product.
Another nice aspect of the Sculpey Polymer Clay is that from 3 or 4 core colours you can mix them to develop other colours. In addition, the Original Sculpey can be mixed with the Sculpey III and the Premo series as well.
AS with all Polymer Clays you bake the final product in an oven and it comes out rock hard, all ready for you to add a final polish.
A very flexible craft product. | 5 |
Love these papers. I ordered two bags. The largest might be 3"x 2" but I knew that. No problem. Some paper is thicker than others. I'm using them for mixed media projects so all is good. Very happy. Love mulberry paper. I can also run it through sewing machine and it holds up well. Only disappointment was the ones in the pic weren't in my bag. I loved that blue and green flowery pattern. But...no big deal. It's a scrap bag. Ya get what ya get and don't pitch a fit | 5 |
Love this paper punch. Works well. I've had no problems with it. I've had it a couple of months and have been using it on many projects already--such as greetings cards and other card stock projects. | 4 |
What can I say about these wonderful dies? They so intricate and cut so well that I was very pleasantly surprised. | 5 |
Was pleased with this Order. | 5 |
Perfect for cookie decorating! | 5 |
Perfect for the little animals I make! Very happy with them | 5 |
I had dozens of bobbins, all for this and that machine, and never thrown away. So with the purchase of my new machine, it is so nice to start out anew with the 'right stuff'. I am happy to have found this product on Amazon. | 5 |
I'm so impressed with this yarn! Bought it totry for my new obsession, sock knitting. Nice colorway and works up nicely. Quality is excellent for the price as some sick yarns can be very pricey. Love this yarn enough to buy it in several other colors. I'm picking up a few hanks at a time to build my stash, while it's available. | 5 |
Wonderful for adhering the mega flakes, makes it eay to do, love it | 5 |
Way too small and the pointed end makes it hard to use. Probably wouldn't buy again. | 2 |
Love these needles, the best as far as I'm concerned. I feel if you have the right tools for the job, the job always will come out good! Invest! | 5 |
I did a lot of research on different marking pens and tracing wheels before settling on these. I remember my mum having a set in her sewing kit, and these are just as great. The different color options are fantastic to have on hand and make marking on different color fabrics very easy. The included pencil sharpener is a great little bonus as they do dull quickly if you're using them a lot. The little brushes are neat and I haven't had any issues with staining. | 5 |
Great for what it is. This is my first water brush so I can't compare it to any others but it seems to do exactly what it says. I think its best used for quick sketching or looser watercolor work. Its hard to control the water sometimes and if your not paying attention you could add more water to a section than you want but overall I enjoy using it without the need to carry extra water. It just takes a bit of getting use to if you usually use traditional brushes which get dryer as you are applying your paint. Overall its very convenient and fun to use. | 5 |
yay! these work great! and they're small, so they don't take up a lot of space in my craft supplies. | 5 |
I finally got around to unstringing these pearls for a very belated project. I understood the quality of the pearls when I bought them. What bothered me was the poor quality of how they were drilled. Some of them were badly chipped/gouged and ruined from the drill. Glad I did the project before I ordered more. | 2 |
These are awesome! The colors are deep and strong. They mix well and are waterproof. The are nice and thin, so they act like a stain. The work well was a light wash.
I wish the set had more blues; there are too many warm colors. I would have preferred to get them as open stock. The ink pours clumsily and when it dries the bottles get stuck shut.
The good outweighs the bad. I've never seen anything like them. I'd buy them again when they run out. | 4 |
These stamps came in a jumble and had fallen out of their container but once we figured out which letters were which and organized them they were lovely to use and make good marks without having to hit too hard. Would be nice if there was a letter marker on the other end of the stamp because the font can be difficult to interpret. | 5 |
Good stuff. It may be my new favorite for dip pen lettering and whatnot. | 5 |
Absolutely beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for | 5 |
Love it. size of a quarter works well. I would recommend this product. | 5 |
Punches out a cute "love". Easy to use, but frays just a little; can sand/trim frays off. | 5 |
This software isn't full of options for your embroidery files, but it has enough for what I need. I would recommend it to anyone starting out with machine embroidery. | 5 |
I really needed this, you can't do much without it!!!! | 5 |
PERFECT. Easy to put on and really works | 5 |
The needle down feature is great. Lightweight. | 4 |
Very smooth coloring no skipping we will see how long they last | 5 |
I'm just beginning with my knitting, I like these Boye Classic Knitting Needles because they're not as slippery. The finish on them offers a little bit of resistance. I prefer bamboo needle so far, but these are very nice. The tips are not as sharp as some other needles I've used. I really like that, I check my blood sugar (diabetic) and have enough pokes and punctures in my fingers, I really don't want to add more with knitting needles. | 5 |
Bought this kit to learn and try this craft. Happy with it and still working on trying different things. Wish it would have come with a single punch also. | 5 |
Nice and sharp at a great price. Thank you. All scissors should be this good. I've had for several months and they still work great. | 5 |
This set of watercolor pencils is a great buy. They seem to be a good quality, and have all the colors needed for shading, etc. | 5 |
These worked very well for what I bought them for and I have a lot left over for many other uses. | 5 |
Used this ribbon for my daughter's wedding. So beautiful. | 5 |
This is my favorite craft glue. It holds things together almost as quickly as a glue gun, but you still have time to line things up just right before it sets, and it holds better. It comes off of your hands easily and doesn't leave them sticky. | 5 |
great as expected. | 5 |
I am using these for protection while wood burning. They keep out the heat, but are very, very tight and my fingers are pretty small. When I take them off, the end of my finger is purple. | 4 |
This product does exactly what they say it does. It makes really nice bias binding. I could use a much larger one but it will come in handy for those small projects. | 4 |
Great...can't wait to start making cards with these new ideas | 5 |
love heartfelt creations....expensive but beautiful | 5 |
Love the silhouette cutting blade. | 5 |
I don't know about hammering these into leather crafting, but they work great for what I need! I make Pandora-style paper beads, and these eyelets are the perfect size to fit into the core. Love them and will order more when I run out. | 5 |
I needed Backs for Heavier Gold earrings that I had lost the backs to and these work wonderfully I am so Happy! | 5 |
These are a real help to stabalize the ruler for cutting--very hand device and so simple! They are so easy to use, just remove from paper and stick on the back of the ruler and no more slipping | 5 |
These are good, typical, heavy weight pads from US Art Supply. They are good for nearly everything & as a 2 fer they are a good buy. | 4 |
Can not find this kind around home. Glad I ordered it and would again | 5 |
Fast delivery ,and the beads are gorgeous!!I ordered several other beads,and they were all very good quality. Customer service is great too. I love these beads,I will reorder again soon! | 5 |
Great product to make mats quickly for your cards. it is nice to have S6-002 along with this product so you have more matting sizes to select from for your projects. | 5 |
I LOVE these brushes! Total newbie at watercoloring and these things work wonderfully. Super easy to learn and progress with, and I love that they come in 3 different sizes so depending on what I'm working on I can decide how big I want my brush to be. Clean super easy and the tips have not worn out on me at all yet!! | 5 |
I didn't know I had a real need but it is great for lots of tasks. | 5 |
Good to have this awesome item at this price | 4 |
Great color and quality, worth the wait. | 5 |
