a great size and variety of gears, perfect for some quick steampunk decorating | 5 |
I would give these a five star rating for sue except the lids don't stay on tight so the ink is dried up. Wish I knew about this faulty packaging when I bought them. Ranger has improved the packaging by making the lids snap on and off. If I could Id buy them again, but with the new cubes. | 4 |
These are great. I own quite a few of these. I sort my bobbins in them according to color. Then I used color coded labels on each box. No more rummaging through a bunch of bobbins to find a specific color. | 5 |
Perfect for storing my threads! | 5 |
Great for pencils. They slide in easily and stay in. My markers are a little too big, but I got them in still. Not quite ideal though. I love the colors. | 5 |
I am very pleased with these bobbins. I purchased the Brother 770II and it loves these bobbins, much better price than many of them. One thing I liked is the plastic side on them and the plastic actually has a small hole it them like a regular bobbin so can be re-used!
They haven't let me down once and I am used to neb pre-wounds so I have pretty high standards! | 5 |
The softest fabric I have felt in a while. I used this to make burp rags for my Niece. Used this on one side of the rag. It was different for me to use as it was a first to use while sewing however after a test run it was good and turned out fantastic! Very soft, pure white and gorgeous. | 5 |
Super cute. Love these. Lots of options | 5 |
I have dragged this across the floor many many times and it is still going strong! The compartments are perfect to seperate my medias. I even keep my fix-it spray in there! | 5 |
This is a great invention for making Kumihimo jewelry. | 5 |
does not work for me | 1 |
This small set of floral design stamps is the second set of this type I have purchased. The designs are detailed, clean and print nicely. Because the design is circular, the pattern really has no particular orientation and the wooden "handle" makes it easy to use. These are really nice for repeating background images, for gift tags, subtle ink designs, and work as well as incorporating into other designs. I do not know if this is true of all the stamps, but the design on top is not necessarily the orientation of the image produced. I simply put a line across the center of the top of the stamp to be parallel to the left and right of my sheet of paper and this keeps it straight when stamped if that is desired. | 5 |
This is beautiful when completed. I strongly recommend this one for anyone who has a special young lady in her or her life. The skirt has a 3-D effect. Her hair and curls are beautiful when finished. | 5 |
I was pleased. | 4 |
This is amazing. I bought a more affordable winder prior to this one and it did not work well - ever. This is a wonderful winder - spend the extra $10-$15 - it's worth it! | 5 |
The price was very reasonable, it works great and my mom is very happy with it. | 5 |
Whenever I have to buy a new circular needle in a size I don't already have, I always get Addi turbos now. They're smooth, fast, and easy to use, with no catching or problems of any kind. They're the best circular needles I've ever tried. | 5 |
Absolutely love it and very thankful to other buyers who explained how useful this is! I do find my die piece sometimes does move around, even with the magnetic board but overall it is more helpful than not using it. | 5 |
They were as expected and I found only 2 that were damaged too much to use. | 5 |
This is a great way to get a lot of colors of paint with one purchase (34). These small containers actually hold quite a bit of paint, so don't let the size fool you. The containers were full and none were dried out. The color variety is great and they work great on wood and ceramics. It would be nice if the colors were labeled in case you wanted to buy more of some of the colors. Acrylic paint is easy to work with and washes away with just water. | 5 |
The X3000 model is nearly identical to the current X2000 blade handle. The only difference is that it is slightly longer and has a twist off cap beneath which you can store up to 5 #11 blades. It can be purchased for about 50 more than the X2000 model, and IMHO, it is worth it for the added utility and the fact that it comes with 3 spare #11 blades (see photo). Mechanically, in the hand, and in action -- the X2000 and X3000 are essentially the same thing. I'm not a huge fan of the rubber grip material being used on the newer production models, but the rubber on my old model has started to get "tacky" so while mechanically it is still sound, it is time to get a newer model. The X2000/3000 is still the best knife I've ever used in my art and graphic design career for precision cutting.

Simply great paper. Very thick and just what a art sketcher is looking for in high quality paper. | 5 |
This fabric is a lot thinner than I expected. | 3 |
Finally a good set of paints with no flawsThank you Apple you're my new paint carrier!!! | 5 |
Okay, I bought these brushes because they're so inexpensive and they have a carrying case. Typically, I work in watercolors though I've been branching out and using gouache and acrylic and didn't want to ruin my watercolor brushes with more aggressive mediums. I can't speak to the water retention of these brushes, but I suspect they wouldn't be great if you were trying to use them for thin washes. HOWEVER, I've been using them for holbein's acryla gouache, which is basically just acrylic, and I love them. They're a little bit firm which make controlling the pressure you apply to the brush very easy, and because there are so many different shapes and sizes there's just about every type of brush head you could want. I did nock off a star though because the ferrule is not properly attached to the handle and I had to apply glue around the rim to stop them from wiggling every time I moved the brush across the paper. | 4 |
These watercolours are very vibrant and create lovely colours when you mix them. I don't have any complaints about any Sakura products I've used thus far and it's an added bonus that these watercolours are so affordable for the quality. I've been using these since May of this year and still enjoying them! If you're looking for a decently priced, nicely pigmented set of watercolours with good transparency, then look no further. :)
Edit: A year later I will say I have made SO many wonderful paintings with the Koi Watercolours and I don't regret buying/using them.. I learned alot by using affordable watercolours to experiment with. I have now moved on to Holbein, but I will attach paintings I did with these paints to show you their potential!! I will either keep my leftover paint as back-up or give them to someone who is interested in getting started in painting with Watercolours. I highly recommend this brand. :) | 4 |
my wife likes it | 4 |
Perfect color for what I needed to match. Love the possibilities and uses for this paint. | 4 |
I love these are so cute. | 5 |
Nice - works well | 5 |
Need to buy more supplies to use it. It is a good start, I hope to use it some day. | 3 |
this works | 5 |
Nice needles. Very good price. Quick delivery. | 5 |
I shouldn't run out for a long time | 5 |
Beautiful!!! Really adds to journal pages. | 5 |
WOW! I can now create my binding in half the time. Great product once you get the hang of it. | 5 |
bought it. works good | 5 |
Still learning all the things you can do with a battery powered eraser. It's find of fun to scratch a color on the paper and then draw the design with the eraser.
The erasers seem to wear down fast, though. The battery is holding up well.
Took a bit to realize I had to use more firm pressure on the paper than I expected - otherwise the eraser bounces around a lot. | 5 |
Pins are great. Could not find locally a package with a large number at a reasonable price. These work great. | 5 |
Choosing the right glue for any given job can be confusing as there are so very many to select from these days. Life was so much simpler in the "olden days" when you had basically three choices; the tasty white stuff that smelled wonderful in a small jar which a kid in my first grade class consumed almost constantly, There was the sort of yellowish stuff in a bottle that resembled something you would find in your hanky after you blew your nose and of course, as in my case when I was very young, four and water glue your mom made up for you to use.
No, times are different now and you can sort of go into consumer overload figuring out what to use and what not. I have tried quite a number of the current `glue sticks' over the past several years and have watched numerous children use quite a variety of them.
The glue stick being reviewed here, made by Avery, is somewhat different and slightly unique in that it goes on in color and when it dries, it becomes clear. I find this quite appealing and in my case, extremely useful.
I am a senior citizen....actually; I am well into my dotage, enjoying a second childhood, thank you very much! I will be the first in line to tell you that my eyesight is not what it used to be. Quite often when applying glue to a surface, especially a large surface, I miss spots. With much of the work I do concerning by hobbies, this is not a good thing. With this colored glue the chances of my missing a spot is lessoned quite a bit.
I have found the adhesive properties of this glue to be just as good as any other brand I have tried. It is good to use on fabric (a big point for me), cardboard, paper, photographs (acid free and archival safe. another important point as far as I am concerned) and even thought it is not listed, it works quite well on dried plant leaves. Another big, big quality for me is that this glue possesses is that it is washable! I am not the neatest person in the world and can normally get any glue all over clothing.
This stuff is of course nontoxic so it can be safely used by children, or if eaten by one of your dogs, which has happened to me on numerous occasions, you can feel safe.
Now I notice that some have had a problem with the glue clumping up when applied. This product does have a more jell like quality than some I have used, but I personally have not had this problem. Of course I am quite careful and use a rather light hand when I apply the stuff. As for being messy when children use it; there are quite a number of kids out there that can mess up anything...I know, I was and am one of them. When I was a wee one you could have locked me in a cement bunker, given me nothing but a ping-pong ball, and I could have trashed the place in ten minutes. I have not changed much over the years; ask my wife. I note that some/many kids are still like that. Perhaps it is a natural thing and should be looked upon as a sign of a creative kid rather than a kid who is a sloppy little wretch. I have been called both. I suppose it depends on who has had to clean up my messes; myself or others.
Anyway, this is good stuff. I use it quite often and keep a supply handy in my home office. For me it works. The price here seems in-line with what I pay locally, but of course there is the shipping to consider. I suppose when all is said and done that this is a good tool to use on specific jobs.

Don't be that jerk who doesn't actually read about the items ordered and leaves negative feedback.
There are seven freaking hundred little googly eyes in this amazing kit, and each one is a slice of pure joy!! I'm laughing way too hard about them :-) | 5 |
Can't beat Gingher! | 5 |
Wonderfull product. Fast shipping. | 5 |
These are really shiny, nickel free and come in a hard plastic reusable clear box. They're sturdy and there are many different sizes. I highly recommend. Their other products are also very good. I use their crimp tubes also a d they are outstanding.

Sent as gift and I was told it works well with the noted comment that you have to really score the glass well with the blade prior to putting under hot water or the glass will not break straight. Blade might not be sharp enough? | 4 |
I really like these pencils,good color varity and at a good price.. | 5 |
Derwent has very good watercolor pencils. I've tried a variety since I use them for repainting dolls. These give good pigment but are sometimes difficult on the dolls. I was a little shocked by that since it's the brand most repaint artists favor. I go back and forth between these and my Faber and Castle for good color. I've just received some of their inktense and some Prismacolors though and I'll be trying them out today. I'll be sure to review those as soon as I know how they are in comparison to these. | 5 |
I purchased this bead box (from Michael's but it's the exact same one) and the little boxes are terrible. Some don't close at all, and the ones that do close, have gaps in them juuuust big enough for my miniscule 11/0 seed beads to go EVERYWHERE.
The overall design is great but the manufacturing process clearly leaves much to be desired. Do NOT recommend. | 1 |
It has perfect detailing and unmolds beautifully. | 5 |
exactly as described and good price | 5 |
I'm ramping up a business & needed suplies, this was a great deal for an items I possibly would need so ordered. Looks very nice I just can't speak about how the usability is as of yet since I haven't used ir. | 4 |
These guys a great! | 5 |
Very poor quality, the inner yarn is full of knots and the yarn has areas where there are thicker areas like fur balls. I had to cut the yarn four times with one skein at a loss of about 1/4 of the skein. The second was worst I was so frustrated that I refused to go through the time consuming process of trying to salvage the skein and threw it away! Would not recommend this yarn. I have used other Lion yarns and have been satisfied but this particular product is inferior! | 1 |
When I started wearing bifocals, threading a needle became much more difficult. I purchased this threader to help me thread needles for my cross stitch embroidery. It is an ok threader. The only problem I had was the wire threader was a little bent and had to be straightened prior to using it the first time in order to get it through the eye of the needle. Other than that, the product was excellent, giving you three options for threading ease. It came shipped in a bundle and was extremely cheap in price. Definitely worth what I paid for it. | 4 |
I'm very pleased with my water brushes. Great quality and better than I expected! | 5 |
Really nice samples with more paint than you might think. I wasn't aware there was a 238 paint sampler and I have purchased that also. Now I don't have to guess whether or not I will like a color when completing my Daniel Smith set.
I do think these would be handy if you were traveling and doing small paintings or journaling | 5 |
Really like Addi needles. Smooth and slick. Wish they had a sharper point. | 4 |
Arrived with no damage, very good quality canvas. Perfect for a project I am doing of winter sunflowers in snow, I am using acrylics and some texture and it works on this canvas very well. Nice sizes and variety. I like that I can buy a whole pack at once. | 5 |
Very pleased with amount of buttons and variation. | 4 |
They worked fine for a while until they started to fall apart. I have lost so much thread. Jammed my machine with plastic chips. | 1 |
These are very small but are very cut. Felt & simmer sheets look really cute together | 5 |
Perfect for what I needed. Doesn't feel flimsy at all, surprising.
The plastic coating is firm and won't come off very easy.
Know your gauge though, this stuff is thin, but it's going onto my HO layout
in which case this could serve as a garden hose almost!
It's exactly what I expected and a bit better. | 5 |
These are now the only pins I use. | 5 |
great pins, perfect for all sorts of projects | 5 |
BIG HELP! | 5 |
Small, light, perfect cut.
I think is a very good craft tool for beginner and those with lots of experience. | 5 |
FINALLY got around to using this the last few weeks. It's great, MUCH easier to cut out fabric than with scissors. You have to use some pressure, but it cuts cleanly. Somewhere along the way I lost the ruler that came with this set; I ended up buying another one, and I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone else in the same boat do so as well. The rotary cutter moves so easily and quickly once you get going that it's very easy to swerve and not cut on the line. The ruler helps immensely with this.
Also: I recently purchased two other kinds of blades for this cutter: "10 Pack 45 MM Pinking Rotary Wave Blades NEW Refills with Snap Closure Decorative Edge SKS-7" sold by HJAR and "45mm Rotary Cutter Blades (Pack of 5)" sold by Tamper and Twine. Both work in this rotary cutter, and actually both work very well so far. Changing the blades is quick and easy and I haven't been nicked once. I bought the pinking blades so that my woven quilting cottons would stop fraying so quickly, and the other blades as backups to this. The first blade that came with this set is still sharp so far despite having cut out: 1.5 yards of woven cotton in a number of pieces for bags, 2 yards knitted polyester/cotton for a dress, and 4 yards woven polyester for two shirts.
While I can see the slices in the matt (especially from the pinking blades), they are all shallow enough that fabric still slides smoothly across the top, and there's no difficulty in cutting out more fabric. The ruler and grid aspects to the matt are tremendously helpful. | 5 |
So cheaply made. | 1 |
Thes neck ropes arrived just in time they fit perfectly..WANDA.. | 5 |
I find these to be the best to use when knitting socks. | 5 |
Works well for what I'm using it for which is arrow wraps for attaching fletching. Cuts easily and cleanly and adheres well to the arrows. Having been shot 100's of times out of a bow, there is no edge peeling or anywhere that the adhesive is failing. Like anything, clean the surface thoroughly if you want it to stick for a long period of time without air bubbles. | 5 |
Good size. Quality seems ok so far. | 4 |
Product is a bit thick, perhaps because it had a broken top when it got here and it leaked. | 2 |
I love this Spellbinders set. Especially ue the two smaller sizes for labels . . . the larger of the two, I color in he frame with S.U. markers, and it makes a beautiful presentation for an extra "message" on the left-hand inside cover of your card! | 5 |
I purchased this art set for my daughter. She is in high school and taking an art class, and finds that this set suits her needs very well. If she continues persuing art into college, we may need to purchase a more 'professional' set... but for the moment this is above and beyond what she needed as far as quality is concerned. The colored pencils are very rich, and the case is very well made. She takes it back and forth to school with her and has no worries about the handle breaking or the case possibly failing on her. I definitely recommend this product. | 4 |
This was exactly what I was looking for and should have known that Spellbinders Shapeabilities would have it in their collection. The design possibilities with these embossing dies is endless. | 5 |
works as stated and good enough!! | 5 |
I purchased this machine for my daughter, but used it to go to a sewing class when I did not want to carry my full-sized, heavy machine. This machine sews just as well as my full-sized machine (which cost 20 times more). It is extremely lightweight and fits under the seat in front on all airlines. It is a genuine Janome and uses genuine Janome parts. I ended up ordering a second machine for my daughter. | 5 |
They were a gift and the receiver loved them, they did however break but were able to be fixed. | 5 |
Work great and love having three different colors. | 5 |
Super nice to add that extra unique touch to any handmade specialty cards. | 5 |
Good enough, I'm sure I'll use the, | 4 |
This is just the cutest retro pencil case ever!! It measures 7 1/2" L x 2 3/4" W closed and 8" W open. It can hold up to 9 pen/pencils or a small ruler. It has 2 large pockets, 1 medium pocket and 1 small pocket. Closure is super cute with a wrap around leather cord with a cute charm. The leather is very soft and flexible. It would easily fit into a purse or backpack. I bought it for my teenage daughter who is a writer and it goes well with a soft leather journal I recently bought for her. She loves it because it's small but holds her favorite pens/pencils and she can carry it with her in her shoulder bag. There are other pencil cases, but this one is so retro and cute. Great quality, sturdy but soft leather where it's not stiff or bulky at all. This is by far the best little pencil case I've purchased for her and I have purchased many!
I have included my own pictures for your review to help see how cute this really is.
Note: I received this at a reduced price in exchange for my honest opinion. | 5 |
Wide selection of colors, 48 of them. Great price for what you are getting. The paint is fresh and well packaged. The item arrived in a timely manner. The paints are very enjoyable to use for a variety of projects. | 5 |
I just received my rotary cutter this afternoon. I have not had a chance to use it for any sewing projects, but I tested it right away. Amazing! It cuts through whatever I gave it. Nice and clean and even. I like the safety feature. I have no doubt it will be just what I need when I begin my quilting projects this winter. | 5 |
Maybe I got lucky but my gun works great! It hasn't melted itself like another review said. Would buy again. | 4 |
These were a size down from what I wanted (my fault) but I will use them later so that is alright. Anyone doing broomstick crocket will love these. | 5 |
Fantastic for covering my acrylic painted projects. Very glossy! | 5 |
Take the time to shop around and you'll discover that snaps are becoming a "hard to find" item. These are well made and easy to attach. Tired of not having a good variety of snaps for repairs / crafting, so I'm busily snapping up various sizes / types! | 5 |
Loved the stamp and the service. Excellent as always. | 5 |
Only good as beginner student grade, not really all that water soluble | 2 |
Beautiful papers! u use them for more than just origami! | 5 |
Great deal, loved the assortment | 5 |
The product just arrived last night & I tried it out immediately. I'm working on a handmade keepsake box, and I ran out of the double sided tape I'd been using. Comparing this to the tape I had been using: 1) This tape is easy to tear with my bare hands, making it easy to use; the tape I had been using had a vinyl-type liner, which means I had to pick up my scissors every time I used it. When making crafts, I often need both of my hands to hold the object, so using scissors is very awkward. I really like being able to tear the tape with my hands. 2) This holds just as well as the more expensive tape I had been using. A good, solid hold is important. 3) It is true to size. I once bought some double-sided tape that wasn't as wide as I thought it was. That particular tape did not have the width listed on it; that should have been a red flag. The liner appeared to be 1/2 inch long, so I assumed the tape was 1/2 wide; it wasn't. It was only about 1/4 inch wide. I was duped, but I learned my lesson: never buy double-sided tape if the dimensions are not clearly marked on the package. This tape says 1/2 inch & it IS 1/2 inch. 4) This double-sided tape is a great bargain. Compared to other tapes I've used, this is longer & less expensive. If you divide the price by the length of the tape, you will be able to compare the price per yard (or per foot or inch) I won't do the comparison for you because prices vary & what you pay may be slightly different than what I paid. Just remember to compare the length in the same measurement. Some tapes list how many yards, feet or inches long they are, which makes it difficult to compare the price per unit. This product is 42 YARDS long. Other products I've seen are 27 yards long or so many inches long. If you don't have a calculator handy, this product is 126 feet long or 1,512 inches long. This will help you to compare it to other products. | 5 |
I like the adhesive rectangles themselves, they do stick well, and I like the ease of applying them to papers and photo backs when they are running smoothly. But I don't like how easily the strips keep getting misaligned. And I can't really fix that- I can only adjust the strips temporarily and they get crooked again. I didn't return them since I can use them and I needed them for a project right away, but they are difficult. Maybe I got a bad set. Also, I was surprised that they aren't refillable- seems a waste to toss the whole container when the strips run out. If they worked properly and were refillable, they'd be great. | 4 |
I love it. It has made my triming squares etc to more accurately a breeze. It is invaluable for my projects of quilting. | 5 |
When making candles buy a lot of this. A little bit does not go a long way. However, it does melt and dry very quickly. Much faster than other types of wax | 5 |
These are ok for now, have not tried to sew with them. I thought it was more thread on the spools. | 3 |
I use this paint for practically every craft that I do and they work great and look great too. | 5 |
I don't have many dangling earrings but I have some and these are perfect, I know I lose more than half of them and I'll be grateful to have the ones left. | 5 |
