Very nice material. I use it with my Harbor Freight air eraser and I have no issues with it feeding. I get a very nice, smooth etch. I don't recommend it for paint/powder coat removal. It will do it, but you'll be there a while. | 5 |
The sewing machine platform is easy to adjust. The drawers are woven cloth like material and have covered cardboard bottoms that you insert. These also have a tab attached for easy removal. I don't recommend you put anything heavy in them. I put just a few light items in them I need for sewing. I put a few small trays I use for sewing items in the small shelf under the adjustable shelf. It is easy to slide around if need be. It does provide extra room for quilting or large items that you sew. For the price, I'm very happy with it. but it took a bit to put together :-( the instructions were kinda easy to follow 9 &10 had to be reversed :-( The screws were sealed on a cardboard holder and numbered. one nut did not fit any of the bolts so I email the seller and they sent out a whole new set that was good :-) the product stable. They supplied an allen wrench & boxed end wrench for all the nuts and bolts The bottom feet are large and they screw in. They are rubber and easy to grip. They are adjustable to about an inch out. The black parts are metal with smudge proof paint. The left side addition is easy to raise and lower and it provides needed extra space for sewing. | 5 |
I opened the box and put it on my grinder and the plastic thing that holds the shield broke off. I was so disapointed with it. It was a great idea but now it is just junk. | 1 |
Works well drys clear easy to clean. Only used on hard surfaces so far so I have no idea if it works as well on fabric. But on hard surfaces it's been perfect with my swarovski crystals. | 5 |
Great Ink | 4 |
Great material. | 5 |
The colors are all perfect and really pearlescent. Great for you card making projects. All the colors are perfect colors | 5 |
I have been in search of black jewelry finding. These are black. It seems if I work with it too much, the black color starts to come off. | 4 |
I really like this cartridge for Scrapbooks and card making. I highly recommend it. If you want a versatile letter cartridge and don't want to buy a bunch of different ones I think this one will work well for you. You can make very fancy letters or keep them simple. | 5 |
This is my favorite brand of "stuffing". It does not mat like some brands, wash/dries nicely. It's cushy. I use in puff quilts, dolls, stuffed animals, pillows, and other crafts needed stuffing. | 5 |
These work perfectly in my Silhouette Cameo and are made by Silhouette... Not a knock off... | 5 |
Allows ease in cutting by aligning ruler. Easy to use and is reusable. Make cutting more accurate. Would buy again. | 5 |
I like this so much I bought 2 of them! My needles are easy to find now. | 5 |
Nothing fancy...just glitter pens. Its cheaper to buy glitter pens and the pen adapter vs paying for the brand name product. | 4 |
Nice detial and set easily. | 5 |
Great early loom. Nice to have a little for room than the 10" cricket. Recently learned to use a rigid heddle look, and this is a great model to expand your skills and practice the craft. Still a basic model, but room for growth. | 5 |
I really like this product as do my crafter friends who I have given them to. No complaints here! I will buy more of these. They are a must have for any crafter. Precise application and good adhesion power. I highly recommend this! | 5 |
This is a great deal! The thread works great for my Brother Embroidery Machine. I have not had any issues with it breaking at all. The colors are vibrant and the assortment is awesome. They do not come with the wooden stand shown in the picture just in a plain box. | 5 |
I have not used this mat yet as I have not had a need to. It does seem to be a quality rubber mat. I will come back to this after I have had a chance to use it. I purchased it in case I need it as I have seen several lessons where it is required. | 5 |
Works just as I expected. Good price. Seems well made. | 5 |
Love using this product. Does every thing it says it does. Easy to use. | 5 |
I thought this was going to be coats and Clark but this brand cams and I like it just the same. One difference may be the length of each color is a bit longer than the c&c brand, but that may just be the spool I'm looking at now. I use a couple of these a month. | 5 |
Great for keeping my smaller pieces of artwork from getting bent, or destroyed. | 5 |
I bought this ink pad for a new address stamp I bought for the holidays, I wanted something that looked like the gold foil trend, as well as something a bit sparkly, and on point for the Christmas color scheme. This ink pad fit the bill completely. I was really impressed with how well the sparkly component came across, it really looks like gold foil. Also in the past I have bought some ink pads that dry out after like two uses, but that did not happen with this pad at all, Each time I used it with my stamp it was as fresh and had the best coverage. I would say that the best thing to do when storing this ink pad is to leave it upside down so the ink stays at the top of the sponge pad, it helps to make sure you have all the ink at the top when you use the stamp.
In the future I am going to be sticking with this brand, this was a great purchase for me. | 5 |
What a nice variety of papers! The Delilah pack is prefect for Spring cards and envelopes. | 5 |
Happy to find these for my older machine. Worked perfectly | 5 |
i thought that i would go out an try this one. i like it so far, i like it because of the cord is stiffer and does not twist like others that i have used . i would tell other to try this knitting needle you will be happy you did. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed for my sewing needs. | 5 |
If you want a few colors, are limited on money( aren't we all), it is a cheaper way to get you sculpey. had quite a few colors in it and as i am new at this was a cost effective way to go. Sculpey 111 works well, im still learning so my opinion is definitely from someone who doesnt quite know what she is doing, but I am learning and it is easy to work with, it doesnt harden up like a couple of cheaper brands I tried. It bakes well, hardens well, I have a problem with baking clay but this one works just as it says. worth purchasing. | 5 |
I have recently enjoyed dyeing a lot of yarns and fabrics over the last few years, but I had never tried Indigo dyeing before. I had designed my husband a denim drover's coat some years ago and it had faded in spots. He has been bugging me to dye it again and make it look fresh. I almost dyed it with Procion when I figured I should get this kit instead.
EASE OF USE
I used a large bucket that you get in the summer for putting ice in and you put in a ton of cans/bottles for parties. The cost was under $10 and there was plenty of room for dyeing.
I used a clean 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot to measure the water in and then mixed the ingredients in the kid in with an old bamboo pole from a tiki light that was no longer good. There were no problems.
RESULTS
The results of the dye were fantastic. I dyed the coat- worried it would be too big to do, but it came out beautifully. The color was just right. It only took about two dips for a minute each to get the overdye I wanted. This is that perfect indigo blue that I always admired on the original Levi's jeans (not all of the variations over the last 10 years or so).
So far, I have only used this on cottons. I plan on using it in the future on cotton lycra knit so I can make some fun leggings and perhaps a tank top.
DRAWBACKS
ODOR
This stuff smells like water which has spoiled outside and has green goo in it- like spoiled seaweed water. It did not bother me much, but my daughter kept complaining that it smelled bad.
STAINING
We had a huge plastic sheet on our porch (old shower curtain) and it still splashed a bit on the deck which left stains despite immediately rinsing first. MAKE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES AND A PLASTIC APRON.
FINAL COMMENTS
We had really enjoyed doing some more small things and plan to buy some more indigo to dye again. I have not decided if I will buy another kit or if I will buy the individual ingredients and do it myself. The instructions are great- give just enough information to get you started. It also came with a nice booklet explaining indigo a bit better.
I also got the Indigo Dyeing book to go with this for more ideas on wrapping. One kit, however, was exhausted after the coat and a couple other small items, so I will have to wait until I get more to test out more techniques. | 5 |
Great product. I like how on the back it shows the differences in what the pencils will do. | 5 |
Too small these are very small in size ,we can not judge about its size it will fit for kids but not for older ladies jewelery,if you have a bigger size kindly inform me I will be very thankful to you . | 5 |
These are and I will include the student line, in this praise, wonderful brushes all. Granted the dark wood and gleaming black of the handle does not have that much of an effect but it has some. And certainly the stainless steel or nickle plated brass does effect the performance of the brush, other brushes will rust where the hair or fibre meet the ferrule.
These are a brush that you will use for a long time and any artist knows Da Vinci has mastered the way the hairs are layed out to cause a desired effect.
California is part of the great American Car Culture and you will find many detail artists using DaVinci brushes, they are also a favorite of sign painters another rapidly fading craft. WE HAVE BECOME A disposable country, from razors to pens we use it and through it away.
These brushes are part of a culture of building something well and building something that lasts. More than 30 years ago I went with a Mexican co-worker to a hardware store near his mothers home. I don't care what it was in aisle after aisle American Made Products at prices in some cases a bit more $ then in U.S., I asked him about and he replied, "that Mexicans buy things made in America because are quality, and they don't have the money to afford to replace it, it has to last for years".
Some years after that I was going through a break up and she got custody of the ironing board, and I needed an ironing board because I had to press certain things, we had had an Americn built ironing board that we must have recovered 4 or 5 times but the frame was still steady and good. I went into several stores and could not find anything that was not woobly and made in Chine or China. My next visit into Mexico I went into a local Dept. Store Chain and was able to purchase a board Made in Chicago.
I am not sure if that would be true today or not. Even my house painting brush's I go to our local paint store and purchase a brush recommended by the professionals there. I have many brushes that are 20 years old or more, I even have some made in Brazil that have held up very well in particular the watercolour and the hog hair brushes for Acrylic Paints.
Paint brushes are tools, I have a 12" Mac Tools Adjustabile wrench I bought for nuts bigger than my normal wrenches range and that is at least 30-35 maybe older. And I have some Klein pliers and electrical tools I have from the 1960's they work alot better than me.
I picked up about a dozen or so of these brushes to fill out some holes in my kit, even if I used this brush everyday with good care I know it will outlast me and maybe the next owner.
Probably most people don't know that these have been made in Germany since 1890, I can remember it because the Germans finally established medical care for all residents in 1888. I think Spain or France one or both of them had done so first, I remember this because my Swedish born grandmother told me this.
She thought it was criminal that we did not take care of the veterans that returned from WW1, she would go on to say how they treated veterans in European countries. Great Britain I know has done better by their veterans and it is nice that we have started to take care of ours, but we still lag behind other countries in taking care of all people. | 5 |
Great product at a good price | 5 |
These were purchased as a stocking stuffing for my up and coming young artist. She is making her way through a self taught art course and requested these to give her aid. She was tired of getting the ol' gray artists finger when trying to shade her projects. With neat, pointed tortillions, the shading gets right where you want it. These are a great help and the assorted sizes are a real treat. I would suggest a kneadable eraser as well. Highly recommend.
Silly artists, gray is for tortillions, not fingers. :-) | 5 |
Great deal on a good name brand canvas. Arrived in good condition, was well packaged so there was no damage. Smooth canvas with no indents or irregularities. I am painting with acrylics on this canvas and it works well. | 5 |
No quilter should be without these. No pin pricks or slipping of fabric anymore | 5 |
Much larger than I expected, which is my own fault (lack of reading) but is sturdy and does the job. Also, because of the size, it stops me from trying to cut corners, literally. You know how when you get to the end of a section, you think I'll just finish the last bit on my own? This ruler prevents me from doing that - which 50% of the time, I wind up falling short of my intentions.
Good purchase! | 4 |
Good solid power with an attractive appearance | 5 |
These are great. I used them in place of traditional push pins. They are great quality, and a good value. | 5 |
What a pretty die this is and the size is perfect. Bigger than I expected. I read somewhere to rub the cutting side of these dies with a dryer sheet to make the paper release cleanly. It works wonderfully! I won't hesitate to buy these intricate dies now. | 5 |
Great value. Perfect set for a beginner like me. | 4 |
I use these duringy wood turning. They are used to cushion a bowl during jam chucking to avoid scaring the insides of the bowl. They do exactly what I wanted them to do. | 5 |
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! This addition to our collection has been used many times since its arrival! | 5 |
These paints met my needs. The colors were just right to mix together and obtain any color I needed on the color chart. I wish the consistency were somewhat thicker but overall I am quite happy with the way it reacts on canvas. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating was the packaging. The box was open on both ends, torn and partly smashed. Two of the tubes were dented and when I took them out of the shipping box they fell out and slid across the floor in various directions. | 4 |
The paper ran through my printer great, held the ink. I ironed it into the fabric and it stayed put for a good long time. I'd recommend it. | 5 |
Great, they work fine. | 5 |
It was what I needed to complete a project, but I don't know if I'll use this yarn again. The colors are great for men's socks, but the skeins have less yard than most and that yarn is splitty and really thick for socks. | 3 |
well, its different, good, but different, i'm having a heck og a time remembering want the symbols | 5 |
I had to buy 3 and they are all full love this because all my bigz dies are in one place | 5 |
A nice set though would have been great if it had been closed completely during shipping.....sorting through about 200 of these was annoying. | 3 |
I have been wanting one of these for some time and finally decided to get one. Best price I've seen for this tool at Amazon, of course! Even beat the sale price at local fabric store.
Handy little gadget. | 5 |
This thread works great in my embroidery machine. The colors are vibrant! | 5 |
Works great with my Baby Lock Unity. Update: purchased a second one so one can be on the machine and hooping the other. | 5 |
Nice tin container and wonderful selection of colors. | 5 |
I purchased this as a top coat for my chalk painted furniture. It goes on white and dries clear and it does not change the look of the furniture. I am very happy with the purchase. It goes a long way for the small container as well. Will use again for my chalk painting furniture. | 5 |
I have actually had requests for these spacers in my jewelry projects. these were received in good time and in good condition and I know I will be ordering these again in the near future. | 4 |
Very small. I have one from 15 years ago, and mine is three times bigger. They said it was large. I would hate to see what a small is | 2 |
All nice except for one is chipped. | 4 |
These are gorgeous but rather heavy.
I thought that if It were just one strand of these I could get away with a magnetic clasp so my infant wouldn't hurt me by pulling on them.
But sadly they are a bit to heavy and my fairly strong magnetic clasp won't hold and separates under just their weight. | 4 |
Large stencil and very well made! Love it. | 5 |
will use it at christmas time. | 4 |
I sell things on Etsy, and I use this material frequently. My customers love it. It irons on securely, and adheres very well to cotton fabric. It is easy to work with, and cut. I place my image on the paper, cut around it, and then iron it on, as per the instructions. It adheres securely. I highly recommend this material, if you are looking for something to create iron-on appliques for your project! | 5 |
Good quality. Works good with fixing jewelry. Reasonable price. | 5 |
love this thanks | 5 |
great quality and available colors | 5 |
These rulers are fantastic! I have a few of the expensive "omnigrip" rulers, but needed a 12.5" square. All 4 of these were about as much as the one omnigrip, so I decided to give them a try. Now I actually prefer them to imnigrip, as they are a little bit thinner. I make a lot of bags using fusible fleece, and when I would trim the seam allowances, the omnigrip would not allow me to get the bottom layer of fabric. That doesn't happen with these. Their "nonslip" quality is also very good. The only reason I give them a 4 instead of 5 star rating is because I wish I could see the 1/8" marks inside the 1/4" width line that marks the edge 1/2 inch around. | 4 |
Made some great cards with this | 4 |
Use for quilting class to iron my quilting blocks. Great tool!! | 5 |
The 1.5" Silver Round Eye Lobster Claps are excellent quality. All 50 clasps opens and closes without issues. They are a shiny silver when you receive them and hopefully they will keep their appearance with use.
The half round or oval part of the clip does not open and measures ~3/8" wide and 1/4" from top to bottom. It would be better if it could have been opened. However, the swivel option is very useful. These clasps are excellent for making lanyards and so they are quite small but strong for similarly small projects. | 5 |
Always purchase this brand and always love them. | 5 |
Does not stamp clear image. | 3 |
Beautiful yarn! Works up nicely. | 5 |
it is 3.5 x 4 to be exact .. not happy with it | 2 |
Looking for them long time ago, high quality, love my paint brushes | 5 |
My husband stole my old cutting mat this size to work his jigsaw puzzles on. I finally got a new one and it's much improved over the one I have that is probably 30 years old....grin. | 5 |
WAY more punch than your average gold stamping ink. Slightly raised surface with high visual impact value. As with all pigment inks it takes a bit longer than average to dry, but there really is no comparable gold ink out there. This is hands down top of its class! | 5 |
These next gen embossing folders have become my favorite go-to folders. The multi level embossing is lovely and adds much interest. You need to try these. | 5 |
Would not buy it again. Worthless to me...but it may be me. | 1 |
These pliers are indispensable for wire working during your jewelry making. They save a tremendous amount of time In straightening wires and maintain the integrity of the wire without scratches or dents any time we are needing to hold wirework securely in place. | 5 |
not impressed. | 3 |
Sorry for the poor review but I must be honest. These do not work for me at all. | 1 |
These are so versatile. I used this for watercolored wedding invitations and PPPP really ratcheted them up a notch! And I especially like using these with embossing ink. | 5 |
I really like the needles. When I first received them, I tried to use them, but they kept coming loose. I suggest that you put instructions in with the kit to explain how to use the key for tightening the needles to the cables. | 4 |
Perfect shades of grey in pens small enough to take along to the park or anywhere you paint.
It makes it very easy to sketch, and fun too. | 5 |
Sizzix makes a great product. | 5 |
Love this set. Cannot put them down | 5 |
I've been a Singer customer for nearly 40 years. I bought this machine just recently and I am newly converted to Brother. It's super quiet, nice and heavy and easy to set up. I'm already off and quilting within the hour of setting it up and reading through the book. I read on one of the reviews it didn't have a 1/4 foot but to my surpise it did have one so didn't need to buy another. I've sewn pretty much all my life and just recently my Singer of 30 years bit the dust. I had replaced it with another one that was not so good and very difficult to adjust for quilting. Now I'm a happy quilter again. I had just gone to a local sew shop and looked at the Brother machines and I'm sure glad I made the switch. It's also not made in China so thats always a thumbs up around this house. Would have loved it even more had it been made in America. | 5 |
I bought this as a beginner project for a young person. Unless one has a disability and cannot handle traditional knitting needles one would be better to embrace traditional knitting. This process is not knitting. | 1 |
nice, just have not used it much | 5 |
I loved it. And arrived on time | 5 |
It's a grab bag so I don't expect to love all the patterns. I like probaby 1/2, love 1, and the others I'm not sure if I will even use. | 4 |
This is probably a good product for people who know how to, for sure, get those bubbles out. I have no patience. | 3 |
I have a 25 year old Olfa Rotary Cutter that is showing signs of wear. This retractable blade is easier to use than the old model with the blade cover that had to be pulled back. | 5 |
I bought these for a art class, I am a beginner, but these are terrible, the hairs of the brushes fall out...I would not recommend even for small kids. | 1 |
Stuffed a cushion on our loveseat, perfect, love that I could do it myself | 5 |
I am putting together some small sewing kits as little thank you gifts. These little spools of thread are just the right size for that use. A couple of them, tucked into a small jar (or other container) along with a couple of needles, a needle threader, some loop tape dots, etc. are handy for the car glove box, office desk, etc. The spools are too small for any serious amount of sewing, but are handy for doll clothes or other wee projects. Sometimes, a little is just enough. | 4 |
With this large size you can square up almost all blocks. I had a smaller size but this large one is so much better | 5 |
How many times have you carefully measured before cutting your pieces, used a quarter inch foot on your machine and slowly stitched the pieces precisely to form a block . . .then measured your block and discovered it was smaller than the instructions said it should be?
This used to be the most frustrating part about quilting for me . . .so much so, I'd take my blocks to various instructors to trouble shoot. That's when I discovered Aurifil 50 wt thread. I never realized how much difference the thread could make. But think about it . . .if the thread being used is approximately the same size as the threads woven into the fabric, the seams bury themselves into the fabric and take up less space . . .making perfect seams every time.
Now, run a length of chain store thread through your fingertips and notice the lumps . . .absolutely no lumps in the Aurifil thread. Absolutely, hands down, the best thread for piecing. However, because it's so fine, if stitching garments, it's certainly strong enough to hold seams together, but it's more difficult to pull gathers . . .so don't get rid of your poly/cotton threads as they still come in handy for garment sewing . . .but nothing but Aurifil comes near my quilts!
#2310 is one of my favorite threads for piecing as it blends in with most light to medium colors of fabric. | 5 |
Love this hook! | 5 |
