Honestly, I read reviews on the company's website about how "great" this product was. Well, after trying it out...it is absolutely horrible in my opinion. It is EXTREMELY gritty which doesn't work well on some items; I was going to use it for jewelry. Also, the glow DOES NOT last more than a couple of minutes...SERIOUSLY. The website said several hours. Well, they were wrong and this product is NOT for me. What I purchased may NOT be authentic "Glow Inc." paint so I may have gotten duped. Either way, it's not a good product. | 1 |
Like the colors, like the handle, only downside is that the hook itself is plastic. Resin, as it's listed on the package. It's not cheepo plastic but it's not as nice as the aluminum hooks in the smaller sizes. It still glides through the yarn but not as well as the metal. And it does squeak a bit when working acrylic fibers. I don't split as many times or drop loops as much as with other hooks but it's definitely not as good as the metal. It's a shame they decided on this design choice. The metal hooks are awesome, these are very good. I still like them, but I was spoiled to the glide and smoothness of the metal. Additionally, these are definitely in line hooks. No question. Not quite the same as the metal hooks in the series. The elastomer handle is more plastic like then the metal hooks which is more rubber like. I will eventually complete my set but I'm not gonna rush doing it. | 4 |
I would give it a zero star if i can. Worst stincle ever. It is just a stupid plastic for kids to play with | 1 |
Great for my grandkids embroidery since I can cover the stitches with this iron on cover. Works great. Super soft. | 5 |
These molds were perfect! The chocolates came out easily. Glad I bought these. | 5 |
Cute diecut!! It worked well using with my older Sizzix machine. | 5 |
Excellent quality, well finished and practical to work with braids, cords or stripes, as well as to mark the beginning in circular work. Recommend buying. | 5 |
Absolutely love these! Using these has helped me have better gage. | 5 |
Love these beads. I have more customers asking for more designed using them. | 5 |
best sewing scissors ever. I have them at my at my sewing machine and in my carry about sewing kit | 5 |
Coverage and quality expected in a craft paint. Imparts a nice metallic sheen. | 4 |
Have not used this get to bind the carpet. However, is exactly as stated ! | 5 |
I've been sewing all my life. I grew up with my mom's old-school singer that was built into a table. In High School, she bought a new one that I've been borrowing ever since. I always wanted my own but assumed they'd be way too expensive. I was wrong! This machine is perfect! This is what I've been doing with it....
-sewing dresses and skirts with elastic and elastic thread (with many Ive been sewing on top of the elastic)
-sewing dog collars with thick nylon
-hemming jeans (I bought a jean needle and jean thread for this)
-tailoring men's shirts
-hemming yoga pants (I bought a twin needle for stretch fabric)
***All the extras I purchased from Amazon of course!
MANY of my products require several layers of heavy fabric and I've had no problems. I did have to return my first Singer Stylist as it made a funny clicky noise that made me nervous. However, Amazon let me return for free! My new machine is perfect! I was worried this machine that specializes in fancy/pretty stitches would not be heavy duty enough but so far it suits all my needs (as long as you buy the correct needles)! I have really put it to the test and have not been disappointed. My FAVorite feature is the automatic needle threader. I'll never go back! Thanks Amazon and Singer! | 5 |
I am still having trouble with the small hoop. I didn't know that this doesn't store the pattern on the sewing machine. I'm disappointed with that feature | 3 |
Returned it, didn't think it was heavy duty enough for my needs. I bought a different Juki which is superb. IMO this is a light duty model. Good for occasional sewing. If you ask alot of your machine, might be wise to buy a more heavy duty model. | 4 |
My wife had been waiting for our tax refund to come in & had actually been looking at another machine. Had tunnel vision in fact. While we were waiting, I started researching (without knowing anything about sewing) looking to be sure she was going to get what she needed. She's been using it for almost a month now & seems happier each time she pulls it out. This machine had about 50-75% more enhancements than the machine she was looking at and only $30 more. She has been immensely grateful which definitely put a smile on my face. | 5 |
I first purchased some cheaper gloves thinking there could not be a difference. After they got holes in the fingertips I decided to try these as so many quilters swear by them. I just finished a king size quilt and they definitely worked much better. I used the sizing chart you can find online. | 5 |
Long lasting needles, | 5 |
Nice set. Like the wood, multiple sizes. | 4 |
Good quailty, Alot better than most!!!
Love all her stuff. TRY them you'll Love them tOO!!!! | 5 |
I use these for a couple of things. First, I have a diffuser necklace that I wear. It opens like a locket and holds one felt circle. I place a couple of drops of essential oil on the felt pad and it lasts all day. Second, I use these in making hair bows for my niece. They make the perfect base. | 4 |
Handy tool for the quilter in your life. Can be used by beginners and experienced alike. | 5 |
They were just wht I wanted. No more snip, snip, snip. I can keep my stitches together! Let them go! | 5 |
Am excited to use it with my Explore One. | 5 |
Good price for a large quantity. We just started making candles and this works great. | 5 |
Arrived on time. Packaged as expected. Cute hearts. A little flexibility so they shouldn't snap. | 5 |
I've cast in resin before, and this is about the most economical and least stinky resin you can get. Keep in mind that even after 24 hours, your pieces will be hardened enough to demold, but still relatively soft and tacky. You'll think you've done something wrong, but this stuff just takes FOREVER to cure. 72 hours, I've found is the best wait time for a full cure. If you're an impatient type, this might not be the resin for you, but you can't beat the price. I've found by adding slightly more hardener than resin (maybe a few big drops worth), I can get my pieces to cure a tich faster (but not much faster). However, your mileage may vary. If you're going to mess up your measurements, definitely DO NOT use more resin than hardener or your pieces will never cure. This resin is pretty thin, so if you're wanting to put a big fat dome on your pieces when you're done, I recommend a thicker type. ICE resin is better for doming but it's more expensive. BUT, you could get ICE resin just for doming and save money by doing your casting with this and your doming with ICE. This stuff mixes fine with inks, pigments, and I've even mixed it with glow in the dark powder and made cool glowing charms. It takes to sanding well, and if you manage to keep the dust out of your workspace, is crystal clear. Overall, it's a great value.
One caveat: Just because it's low odor does not mean you shouldn't still have a well-ventilated workspace. I've once gave myself a headache with this stuff because there isn't a terrible stink reminding me to open the window, so keep that in mind when working with it. Open a window and put on a fan! | 5 |
Love the way yarn slides along needle. Very smooth where the cable and needle attach. That is very important to me! | 5 |
I am finding many uses for these beyond the advertised use of leather work. The length is proving to be of use with finish work with knitting projects. | 5 |
If you have a Big Shot and want to dry emboss you have to have this. It works very well on embossing folders, texture plates, stencils and so much more. | 5 |
Just love the simplicity. | 5 |
It is nice to try different style needles and this set has a nice variety. However I broke my favorite, rosewood, (my fault not the manufacture). I like them enough to buy a set of one of the styles included. One down side is you have to ensure they are tight so that they do not come apart while knitting. I check them occasionally while knitting to ensure they have not loosened. | 4 |
These are great markers overall, the brand of Copic Ciao, and I'm newer to them. My only issue is that in this small pack, my first, my Cotton Pearl ran out fast. I've barely used them like for two drawings with flesh and about fifteen minutes ago it just didn't want to budge in giving anymore. I ended up buying the big Set B after but no Cotton Pearl in it. Definitely need that color for skin! | 3 |
As a beginning quilter, but long-time sewer, I found these invaluable for keeping to those perfect 1/4 seams. They stick at the side of your presser foot at whatever distance you need the seams, and the fabric just glides along as you feed it through. Ive found that they are repositionable as I use them for all my seams now - not just those little quilters quarter inchers. | 5 |
This is my 2nd Ranger craft mat. Though I do like this product, it is not non-stick for me. I often find that I have to work to get dried product off of it. However, it's the best product I've found for mixed media. | 4 |
Best tape on the mark
et. | 5 |
very rapid and honest | 4 |
This works perfectly for my daughter to make butter slime. It is so smooth, and her slime turned out just how she wanted! Thanks for this amazing product! I will be getting more! | 5 |
I love this set from Smart Art because they have so many colors that they never contained before! They have now also released a new 100-piece set that contains no duplicates, which I intend to try sometime in the near future. I like the quality of Smart Art pens, rarely do you have problems with skipping or scratchy pens. I'm happy with this purchase and can definitely recommend. | 5 |
I received this bag in perfect shape and it looks to be of good quality, unfortunately, I did not read the description closely and wanted this to use for the Cameo, not the Portrait. This was completely my mistake and since the bag was so inexpensive, it did not seem worth it to send back. I will be finding someone to gift this to since it is of good quality and a very pretty color. | 5 |
I still prefer pencils with color names listed - at least numbers so you can have a better eye for them. I prefer Crayon brand | 4 |
The packaging looks like a generic brand, but thse are a Perfect heavy plastic bag/envelope to hold a magnetic sheet of cutting dies. I'm so glad I took a chance and tried these out! I will need more to hold my unmounted stamps, too! | 5 |
Nice rounded corners. Used on homemade alphabet flashcards and they look great. | 5 |
Great for displaying jewelry. | 5 |
Very nice tape. It is not very wide, the colors are as shown, and it adheres well. Even after peeling and reapplying, it sticks. It's an unbeatable price and great value. | 4 |
perfect craft scissors | 5 |
ok, I've now used the entire roll and think I have a pretty good handle on how well this cord works for bracelets. First, people should know that you absolutely can't use only one strand of this for anything. It is too weak and spindly for that. This cord is meant for tripling and quadrupling- usually quadrupling. And you must have a beading needle to work with it. It's too flimsy to thread by itself. When folded four times, it is exceptionally strong, makes a great knot and looks great under the beads (especially the dark ones). (You should glue all knots). The advantage of using this cord is using the needle- it's easier and faster to thread through many beads. That being said, when you quadruple the cord, it is about as thick as the 1mm clear elastic cord- but it has more give and can squeeze through slightly tighter situations than the Stretch Magic clear cord can. This is another advantage. Some reviewers mentioned the fraying. This cord will not fray when you quadruple it as I mentioned- however, if the bead holes are too tight (under 1mm), it WILL fray and the needle will tear through the four strands like a hot knife through butter, leaving you half done with your strand & no way to complete it. You have to start over. Lesson, if it's too tight when you start, try another cord. In the end, I don't believe I will try this again if I can find a .8mm Stretch Magic cord in black. I've had too many instances where the needle came through the bead but cut through the four cords, forcing me to start over. I will know immediately if the .8 Stretch Magic will fit and plan accordingly. I think that will ultimately be easier, faster and less trouble. | 3 |
A few need repair however overall great. Very happy | 5 |
Very good 9 x 12' mix media paper pad which has the advantage of having 60 sheets for a more than reasonable price. The texture is ok, but not as great as other competitors according to me. However it is perfect for my projects and I give it 5 stars. The only really negative remark is you have to pay the shipping fees.... | 5 |
I liked it. I recieved it on time. | 5 |
great projects...I've made both corsets and the drawers and they all came out perfectly, used the one shown in white as a basis for my wedding dress bodice. | 5 |
These stitching groovers arrived in a small unmarked plastic bag which might give you the impression that they are cheap and don't work. Contrary to first impressions they do seem to be very well made. Each tool is comprised of a sturdy piece of steel that has enough heft to inspire confidence in it's strength but is nonetheless small and light for extended periods of use. The large tool is just big enough to hold like the pencil while the smaller one doesn't quite reach.
When using as a freehand groover they both make a nice even cut that is easy to navigate through a smooth path. They make a good smooth cut that is just the right width. The V seems to make a wider cut than the U. See the picture for comparison. It may be a personal preference thing but I wouldn't recommend using these as a edge beveler. I ended up with more of an L shape bevel because the top layer of the leather is softer so it cuts easier than the harder core.
These aren't the sort of sentimental artist's tool such as something with a nicely crafted wood handle might be but that's not what they're trying to be. They simply do what they are intended for and cut well. I'll update this review if I ever run into durability issues or the cutting element wears out prematurely. | 4 |
Love these, very well made and super cute. Another suggestion for use rather than jewelry is women's key chains or purse jewelry. I have a lot of requests for those. | 5 |
Great phrases..."thanks" die is a bit smaller than I expected but overall a great purchase. | 5 |
Great size easy to use. I have arthritis and have trouble holding hooks because of it. This makes it so much easier. | 5 |
My husband bought this for me for Christmas and I love it! I've been cutting paper, cardstock, and vinyl sticks so far with great results. I plan to try it on fabric appliques soon. We ordered the basic bundle - supposed to be just the machine and no extras - but it still came with a starter pack of vinyl, some tools, cutting mat, etc. That was a pleasant surprise.
We are Linux users, running mostly Ubuntu on our personal computers, so the Silhouette Studio software does not work for me. I'm happy to say this machine is easy to use with Linux. I prepare my designs in Inkscape, and then use Extensions>Export>Send to Silhouette to cut them. I've used free designs I found online as well as ones I've designed myself. | 5 |
My daughter received a hugh Lego set for Christmas. She is age 10. Lots of tiny parts. Worked great to store Legos and carry them! | 5 |
I'm not sure how much better a more expensive set of oil pastels would be as these are the first I've used. I think these are a great choice. The colors are rich and varied. They are easy to blend with blending tools, fingers, and mineral spirits. For personal use I would highly recommend trying these out. | 5 |
Perfect for storing paint, lacquer until needed. The 33mm lid is interchangeable with the Badger 33mm spray adaptor lid. Perfect fit. Mix it, store it, spray it from the same jar. Good product for those using an airbrush and small volumes of paint/lacquer. | 5 |
Great pattern for crafting. | 5 |
These are nice paracord buckles. I purchased them to use on my dog collars. They are nice but a bit heavy. I've gone back to plastic buckles. | 3 |
I'm not crazy about using animal products when unnecessary, but I have to admit that red sable is a fantastic choice for paint brushes. Natural bristles in general last a lot longer than synthetic (nylon, taklon, polyester, etc) as long as you care for them properly. They are overall a vastly better quality -- and red sable (or better still, Kolinsky) is one of the nicest natural bristles you can buy. I like it best for smaller brushes, because the weasel hair creates a perpetually fine edge, excellent for detail - but even in larger brushes, its softness and elasticity are second to none.
This particular set of brushes does not disappoint. The handles are well-balanced and comfortable to hold, and the perfect length for most traditional painting. The red sable is wonderfully soft and smooth. The edges are cleanly cut with no loose hairs so far, just a consistently plush bristle held by a sturdy ferrule. If you follow the care instructions on the package (or advice anywhere on the internet) and treat them gently, these brushes will last you a long time.
Filberts are (at least in my opinion) one of the most versatile brush shapes: you can make a thin line, a smooth curve, a thick blurry blend, or any overall softened painting. They're easy to control and they hold a lot of paint, too. Because of their curved corners, filberts are a little "gentler"/more natural looking than the hard chiseled edge of a flat brush, but still capable of making fine strokes if you have a light touch. Maybe a beginner wouldn't need/want an entire set of filberts, but honestly, if you only wanted to buy one brush shape, this is a solid choice.
I definitely recommend this brush set to anyone - beginners, students, or professional artists alike :) So glad to have been able to purchase these at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. I am not an exceptionally advanced artist myself, but if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them! | 5 |
A couple were flawed but that is the nature of natural wood. Over all great price, shipping speed and quality!! | 5 |
Adorable!! My granddaughters love these cute little zipper bags- one will be for snack/lunch money and one will be for their crayons. | 5 |
Perfect for showing off jewelry for a great price. | 5 |
So many pretty colors! This is wonderful embroidery thread for machine embroidery. The colors are really saturated, bright and shiny.
This can't be used as regular sewing thread, believe me, I tried. But for embroidery, it is perfect. | 5 |
This only folded the fabric in half, I wasn't pleased with it. | 3 |
I do a lot of applique on sweatshirts and Tshirts and this was fine. | 5 |
THIS IS THE ONLY BRAND OF DUCT TAPE I USE FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. STRONG/THICK AND EASY TO TEAR OFF A PIECE. QUALITY ADHESIVE. GREAT ADD-ON PRICE, SO I PURCHASED 2. FAST SHIPPING. | 5 |
The tip came loose the first time I used it. It began leaking all around the spot where the metal and plastic top meet. | 1 |
This cutter is super sharp and easy to use. I did unfortunately break the locking feature because I didn't know quite how to use it. That being said, it works very well and does what it says. I do like the cutter a lot and found it very handy. | 5 |
So far my bows are still coming out crooked. They were better when I was using a hair pick clamped onto a table but that was not as portable to use without being sure of a table to clamp it to. | 2 |
Color not as shown. | 3 |
Awesome! It is great. Easy to use. | 5 |
my favorite bobbin holder | 5 |
I purchased the SE 400 a few months ago as a replacement for my Baby Lock that had major tension issues. I delayed writing a review until I had the opportunity to spend some time using it. As far as regular sewing goes, I love the way this machine sews and all the stitch options. At times, it seems like too many choices, but is that really a problem.
As far as embroidery - this is definitely for the home sewer who is not planning on making embroidering a part time business. The 4 x 4 embroidery field does limit your selection of patterns. I tried to stay under a stitch count of 10,000 when using this - that translates to between 15 and 30 minutes of embroidering. A few hints, change your needle frequently - a dull needle leads to birdnesting and breaking threads. Definitely a nuisance when you are in the middle of a project. DO NOT use cheap threads. This machine works best with high quality threads. If you find your thread is breaking too often, try a different brand. You will be pleased with the embroidery results. I also let the machine rest after embroidering for more than a half hour. Just a little gun-shy at this point - don't want to give up embroidery projects, but also do not want to buy another replacement machine.
The construction is plastic - a lot lighter weight than the other machines I have owned. Since it seems so delicate, I am wary of using it for sewing heavier weight fabrics. For those, I will default to my Brother PS 2200 - my go to machine for everyday sewing.
Overall, I am pleased with this machine. If you plan on doing a lot of embroidery, I suggest you purchase a machine that has a larger embroidery field and that is for heavy duty use. | 4 |
I love this powder as it is translucent allowing the color of your in to show through, but my goodness, these jars are TINY! I found much better prices after looking around, but I was in a hurry to see if this would work for me and it did. | 4 |
Nice selection of colors - 29 colors, 30 skeins (2 of white). Shades of green, red, blue, gold - and a few others. | 5 |
They are super pretty but also super small :/
I uploaded a picture in which you can see the difference
this one (4dollars) vs (12 dollars):

GOOD FOR KIDS NOT REAL ARTISTS | 3 |
I like that this has a longer handle. It makes it easier on my hands when I am working with my panpastels. I get the replacement tips as well. Made well, and works wonderfully with Panpastels. | 5 |
Great stamps for Christmas cards. | 5 |
Sent this back. It was not what I thought it was. I wanted a retractable blade not a piercing tool. | 1 |
it helps get that 1/4 inch seam | 4 |
These were just what I needed for acrylic painting! | 5 |
Happy with this paper. All paper buckles, depends how much water you use etc. | 5 |
Very good selection of beads! | 5 |
Good amount for the price! | 5 |
works good with the pop up dies and also can be used by them self | 4 |
Very shiny Crimps love them | 5 |
I make mistakes. Don't we all? This eraser is not only good for correcting some of my mistakes, but I also use it in my coloring when I need to do some shading. A must have! | 5 |
Beautiful embossed details. I use with a Big Shot machine and lightly spritz my paper before embossing so it doesn't tear through the card stock. | 5 |
Ordered this because it seemed like a good deal and I loved the colors. It didn't disappoint, the colors are so pretty. They came very quickly. | 5 |
Smoooth. | 5 |
This is a beautiful htv! I only use siser and this didn't disappoint. | 5 |
wonderful cartridge= love all the outdoor cuts- perfect for campers and hunters & male themed items | 5 |
Extremely flimsy stencil. It would have been better if the white part shown in the picture was cut out and the black part was solid but instead it's the reverse. I have other stencils from this manufacturer that are just fine but the way this one is cut leaves too little plastic. As an added bonus, Amazon shipped it in a padded envelope which was bent in half and shoved in my mailbox and since it's so flimsy, it won't flatten out. If they would have shipped with a piece of cardboard or something then the stencil would have arrived undamaged. Its not worth returning due to the low price but it isn't even worth $1. | 2 |
With leather heavy fabric etc | 5 |
Like this a lot, just the right size for my projects & light weight | 5 |
Beautiful color with a metallic thread running through it. Could not find locally at any craft stores. | 5 |
