Love this product works great | 5 |
Great way to learn Calligraphy. | 5 |
Looking forward to making shaker cards with this. | 5 |
These are my favorite watercolors to use! Perfect to use when outside of your studio. Rich, intense color! | 5 |
These are pretty, but they took more than 3 weeks to arrive. My unit for bugs had already passed at the preschool. | 4 |
I love love love all Clover Amour crochet hooks. The steel hook and ergonomic handle make it absolutely unbeatable for affordable quality out there today. The yarn glide is so smooth that I can't go back to my aluminum hooks, which is why I bought this single. I lost this hook out of my Amour set, and I won't crochet without replacing it! | 5 |
Beautiful just wish that I would have known how many were in each bag so I would have gotten more if I knew about it when I ordered them so I guess I will just have to save up some money $ to get more | 4 |
I don't know how they are going to hold up to using them for pearls. | 3 |
I will never bind again without this tool. Did have to find a YouTube video for better explanation of how to use, as the directions were not very clear. | 5 |
great to work with tiny beads! | 5 |
Love these for shaker cards. And this one has beautiful fall colors. | 5 |
Love this paint. All that I use | 5 |
great product!!! customers like the color, and its pretty. each loop is slightly flattened and gives a very nice looking chain. its one of my most popular chains requested. i will be buying this again. | 5 |
These are so pretty. Nice assortment of sizes and styles. Several come in pairs and would make lovely earrings. Others makes great pendants. They aren't heavy, but don't feel flimsy like some charms I've ordered off of Amazon. Excellent! | 5 |
Slightly expensive but super tough stuff. I've used it only on one casting but it came out perfectly. No air bubbles either. | 5 |
Smaller tubes than I expected. | 4 |
Worth the price and a great variety of size and function. A+ | 5 |
This brush cleaner does an excellent job cleaning and conditioning my brushes. I see my them as an investment so this product as a great tool for for caring for them. The price cannot be beat as well. It appears it is going to last forever! | 5 |
If you are into making paper crafts, this set is nice and have a range of sizes. I don't use them anymore because I do more chipboard cutting and these don't cut chipboard. Great buy. | 5 |
Great quality and easy to use. Plus I love the effect it creates. | 5 |
The table is pretty, but not that easy to put together. Plus we were missing many screws (five). The worst part is that you CANNOT PUT OVER 25 POUNDS of pressure on it. So does that mean OOPS, I broke the glass erasing, or cutting on a cutting board, or leaning when I draw ( bad habit). It's beautiful, but low to the ground unlike traditional drafting tables. Not for professionals. Nice to have stool already included, but I'd rather sit on a chair. We'll see how well it holds up after daily use. Took about 2 hours for two people to put it together. The tray in your lap and the side trays go are affixed by gravity, fulcrum, and a 1/4 turn of the screw. The holder only fits pencils and smaller items - which means no mechanical pencils, erasers, pens. The screw was missing from the drawers, but they are OK. | 3 |
pricey, but easy to work with. | 4 |
This is not a ring mandrel. It's much smaller. It looks like it's fine, but it's not actually what I was looking for. | 4 |
Nice, soft quality. | 5 |
I love this tape for die cutting. I can put it on the back of my paper, cut my design, and presto, I have a design that sticks where I want it, no matter how intricate it is. I also got a roll of 6" tape and together it works great on an 8.5" X 11" piece of cardstock or paper. | 5 |
Some what flimsy but for the price what can you expect. | 3 |
Perfect size for gift soaps as well as little hands. I want to try "painting the letters and details with a different color before pouring in a solid white base, but haven't done so yet. | 5 |
Great craft and gift for a tween/teen. Note that the latch hook is NOT included in the kit and edges also need to be bound. Perfect size for pillow or wall hanging. Pattern is not drawn, but easy instructions. | 4 |
great for donations | 5 |
this a great time saver that helps with making quilting squares | 5 |
these worked great for my rings | 5 |
So far they are holding up on boots. Had a month. | 4 |
On the front of the Condor 149 Pistol Case there is a display pocket this fits perfect | 5 |
It seems to me that Becky's original textrued cardstock had a better hand to it than this batch does. The texture seemed deeper and the cardstock heavier. This is okay but not as pleasing as my earlier purchases a year or two ago. Is it because of the change to American Crafts as manufacturer? | 4 |
Great Deal, Great product. Will buy again. | 5 |
A bit complex to load and you can't really use it on tiny projects because it doesn't maneuver that well. | 4 |
I received these Canvas Panels for review. I have to say, I really enjoyed working on them! The paint went on smoothly, and I had no problems! If you're looking for quality canvas panels, these are it! | 5 |
Working on a project that requires an assortment of colored bead, this will do nicely. Arrived promptly. | 5 |
A complete set of curve templates for drawing and pattern-making. Entire set costs only a few bucks more than individual templates purchased at sewing store.
One very minor drawback: made from thin flexible plastic, so must be stored flat. | 5 |
Sorry, but I cannot say one good thing about these. The bottles are very thin and the lids don't screw on right. I pitched them. | 1 |
The colors are beautiful!!!
Have not gotten to do any sewing yet but so far the bobbins I have made have stood the test of speed.
Delivery took forever!!!!
If you want it quickly don't order this!!! | 2 |
I've used Rit powder dye for years, and my mother did too. I've dyed T-shirts, curtains, towels, and jeans with great success. This is my first time trying the liquid dye, because I could get it in a maroon color I needed. I dyed one cotton hand-towel, and the color came out great. I simmered it in a big pot, added salt as directed, and soaked it for an hour. The problem was when I rinsed the item after dying. I've changed the water probably a dozen times, squeezing and soaking, and still the color is bleeding out. I tried salt in one rinse, and vinegar in another one - I saw a tip on the Internet about that helping set dye. I'll keep rinsing because I have nothing to lose, but I don't have much hope.
Edited 10/7/14: I'm taking away another star because the first time I washed it in the regular washing machine, it bled so much that it's now a pink color instead of maroon. I've never had such trouble with powder dye! | 2 |
to short | 1 |
Looks like a good hammer in the picture, Dont spend your money on this. You can find way better hammers than this at Harbor Freight for way cheaper. | 2 |
Most of the beads are quite beautiful! Some don't have enough stones on them, and some look very dry and faded on the background of the bead itself. All in all, though, they do look very nice. They are still a GREAT value! | 4 |
I am liking my new hole punch. I am using it to make tags or crafts I sale, and since the name of my company has the word Love in it. this makes the tags so much cuter! I Can only punch 4 pieces of card stock at a time with these, but my operation is so small that is not a challenge. Because of the look I achieve with the heart hole punch, to make the holes in the sales tags it is well worth it.
I am also saving all the harts that end up in the hole punch for a project to be decided on at a later time, or will use it to put in cards that I send to those I love. | 4 |
I bought these because I needed a great price for a kids craft project. They worked well for light use by the kids. I would say these are single use. If you are a wash and reuse crafter, I do not think this handle type would hold up as well as the wooden ones that also have full support through the foam brush. | 4 |
it works but it is flimsy and cheap | 2 |
I needed an array of ribbon colors and this was a great way to get them. I am happy with the quality and they arrived quite quickly. | 5 |
Good yarn. I could have gotten it for a better price locally. | 4 |
Watched the videos on how to use this tool. It is more difficult to remove the rubber stoppers than is shown on the video. It does make a nice finished bracelet though. | 3 |
It is exactly what I was looking for. Works great to make bindings although I've only used the larger size so far. | 5 |
Such a nice tool for the sewer. I find it is much easier to remove the chalk then some of the marking pens with the purple ink. This one has a somewhat thick chalk but still easy to mark with. I also have one that has a finer point and that is even better. Having in the pen form keeps your hands clean. Comes with several different color chalks so good on any color. | 5 |
I've dabbled in oil painting for over 20 years, but wanted to help my mother enjoy the art as well. My plan was to watch Bob paint with his wet-on-wet technique while we paint -- like the new painting parties that include some wine and friends and laughter! With the help of the remote control to stop and start the program, we were able to follow along as best we could! The calm way he teaches set a great mood for us to dabble and share some quality time! | 5 |
cheap lace not what I needed or thought it was going to be. | 3 |
eART always delivers a quality product. These clip lock beads are no exception. Attractive selection with no problems! | 5 |
Love these buttons. Shared with friends in a swap. | 5 |
I bought this size of needle but 16 inches.
Didn't know watch one to get so I just got both.
I found a pattern for the 20 inch so I'm good to go. | 5 |
Rainbow loom is an awesome machine you can work with to do rubber band bracelets. You can do all sorts of thing like rings, headbands, and bracelets. | 5 |
I Have the old case and it worked great. The daubers work great. But the new case is much smaller with the same number of daubers in it. It makes it very hard to get them out without touching the one beside it. This will mean getting ink on your fingers. But the bigger problem is the case lid dose not close with out getting hung up on the first row of daubers sponge Part then if you push on the top the lid edge will sit on the edge of the black part of the first row of daubers. This will get ink on the inside of the lid edge case over time. I had to push in the daubers to close the lid every time I tried it. It also pulls the daubers up when you open the case. The first time it pull the hole insert and daubers almost totally out. The store is great. Gave me a refund no problem. But I do wish they would bring back the old case. | 2 |
Good size, light weight,easy to carry and work with. | 5 |
Buying this 12Pack was a great choice. These are so great for coverage on different surfaces and I love blending with them! | 5 |
Excellent stamp I recommend | 5 |
Best glue ever. I am taking this to the scrapbook Expo in Orlando. | 5 |
I love it. It's easy to set up, fold up, stow away. Delivery was very fast. I have an old Pfaff 1471 set up on the table, there is no shimmy or movement of the table while sewing. I got this for free motion quilting ( just starting) and its perfect, it's easy on my shoulders and back, I can see the needle area better and the fabric is easier to move. Even lighting is less of an issue, I find I don't need as much light in order to see my work. I thought I needed a better sewing machine, then I stumbled upon this table. I just needed this table -- saved me lots of cash. | 5 |
This is a great addition to my quilting tools. It did have a rubbery oder but only briefly. Besides there are things in this world that smell much worse (just kidding). I love this mat. It is easier for me to see markings. The green mat with yellow marking was hard for me to use and frustrating. | 5 |
Nice size for making large molded chocolates. I layered different chocolates with crushed candy canes. Just refrigerate and pop them right out. | 4 |
I am making some clay diffuser necklaces and these were an easy way to get some texture on them. | 5 |
I use adult coloring books with Raffine Marco Fine Art Colored Pencils, and this sharpener works great. It has two sharpening ports: one for point, and one for a wider surface. Both sharpeners work equally well. | 5 |
Exactly what I was looking for; fits several different sized candle containers. | 5 |
I love Dritz Cone Thread Holder makes more easy my job and saves me time and keeps the thread safe and flowing.
I will recommend this product and give it in the scale from 1 to 10 a ........10 | 5 |
I have had these scissors for over 6 months now, and they still have remained sharp. They are my go to scissors for cutting heavier material and always cut smoothly (no rough edges) Could not be happier with these and would buy more of these if I find I need more. | 5 |
These are absolutely beautiful watercolors! I've bought the kuritake colors which I really love, and the Sakura koi colors which I'm ok with, but these are so much better! Beautiful smooth colors. I love that the colors come in tubes so you can arrange the colors in your pallet any way you want. You get so much color in the tubes as well. More then enough to fill each well plus some. I thought the pallet was metal, but it's plastic. I hope it holds up over time. | 5 |
I highly recommend this diecutting machine ! Easy to operate for both die-cuts and embossing folders. I read lots of reviews before I purchased the Big Shot annd I was not disappointed. Love it ! | 5 |
Pins were shorter then most straight pins. I can use them but I'm not overly happy about it. The description did not say what their length was. | 3 |
Just used this today., i only needed the middle size needle. but it's way more than i'll ever need., but my old sears kenmore sewing maching will feel much better i'm sure as being i don't think it has ever been oiled., i inherited it from my mom. | 4 |
Best one ever | 5 |
very nice inks - hold well and dry quickly | 5 |
Beautiful yarn, fluffy and extravagant. I am using this for Christmas Gnomes, not knitting. I would guess that Lion is a high-end brand.
No disappointment here. Beautiful creamy white color, excellent for beards on crafts.
Recommended highly. The website offers great support for beginners using yarn for the first time.
SHipped quickly and clean, no damages. | 5 |
Sturdy plastic, latches well, love the handle! | 5 |
These are awesome colored pencils. I love them. | 5 |
I have many ChiaoGoo needles and love them. I think I prefer the bent joins of the "red line" needle to the the straight joins of the "red lace". I find the yarn slides better over them when I knit tight. The tips on the lace are sharper but the red lines are sharp enough for most projects. | 5 |
Just what I was looking for !! | 5 |
This is a great stamp. Looks good on its own, but makes a great impression too. | 5 |
tl;dr: Probably not worth the money, but you can draw & cut some really cool stuff with a bit of patience. Watch videos & read some tutorials first.
I consider myself a rookie crafter I enjoy them and Im not scared to try new things, but by no means am I a professional or even a serious enthusiast. I have never used any of the Silhouette machines in the past, but I have used my fair share of other single-use machines like embossers, laminators, punches, and things of that nature. Despite this general craft knack, this machine drove me batty trying to set it up and get my first project completed.
For my first project, I wanted to create a nameplate for a scrapbook. I wanted embossed, printed black lettering centered in a 3.5 scalloped placard that had two embossed ridges around the edge. I was able to design this and work on it over the course of a few days before I was finally able to complete the project somewhat successfully.
Initially, I had an issue with the registration marks not being read properly by the sensor. This was because the registration marks default to a portrait layout for a standard sized sheet of paper, even if youve set the software to the included mat size of 6x8. Even adjusting the registration marks to the smallest area available would still not allow it to fit as a portrait layout, I had to switch to a landscape layout for the registration marks to fit on the included embossing or cutting mats. This isn't a big deal as the print area didn't change, but it would seem more intuitive for the default settings to be set to align with what is included in the box. Had I had the larger, sold-separate, embossing pad that is full size, this wouldnt have been an issue. Also, I feel you get space stolen that you could be using to maximize your cutting area available.
The second issue I ran into was once my registration marks were printed, they were not cut cleanly. I ran it a second time and it seemed to help. Thankfully this wasn't too big of an issue and the Curio still picked it up fine and embossed and cut where it needed to.
Another issue I had with alignment of the registration marks was that the design cannot be located in the gridded area that is displayed on the screen before printing. Doing this will cause your design to not print or print oddly. Again, watching videos and reading some FAQs helped with this problem, as well.
The software is friendly enough to use, but really isn't designed for a total beginner in mind. One of the biggest issues I had with the software was the updates. In the check for updates section, despite the fact that my software was out of date running 3.4.340 not the newest 3.4.486, it told me there were no updates available. I had to go directly to the website and download the update. This caused me to not have the platform number shown to me - a cause for me to later mess up on several rough drafts of my test project, and have issues with keeping selections on tools in some menus.
Silhouette is trying to roll out more products to expand their lineup of machines and I feel that this one is just trying too hard. Im not even familiar with their other machines, but I can see how this is just over the top. The price range is up there and for what it has the ability to do versus the actual performance of the machine, I was quite disappointed. Individual machines are available that give you better results than the Curio does and for substantially less cost.
The features that I see myself using the most are the sketch feature and the print and cut feature. I enjoy being able to add unique text and images to my layouts and print up cool labels on the fly for bake sales, work events, school projects, home & holiday crafts, and stuff like that. Beyond these type of projects, I wouldnt recommend it.
I do recommend watching lots of videos, browsing some forums, and visiting some blogs of Silhouette enthusiasts to get a better feel for the machine before you jump right in. | 3 |
Again, using them on my Kindle, I pad and phone. | 5 |
What can I say except it works like it's supposed to for what I need! Good stuff! | 5 |
Excellent sampler pack it you are starting to experiment with torch fired enamel. Beautiful range of colors. It will leave you hooked!!! | 5 |
Very good priced and good looking Rondelle spacers, will add special accent to any jewelry/bead/craft making project.
Highly recommended.

Fiskars is a great brand. I don't use this punch as much as I thought I would.
It did come in handy while making Easter cards. | 3 |
Great deal and fast shipping | 5 |
Lots of colours! I'm looking forward to trying them all out! | 5 |
For the record, I didn't use this for sewing. What I DID use it for was to ply with yarn singles I spun. This is a good thread for plying. It adds a nice sparkle to your hand-spun yarns! My only complaint is that it keeps getting hung-up on my Lazy Kate (which is a really simple design to start with), but other than that, this plies well! | 5 |
Small version of Five and Dime. Haven't used it yet but wanted it on hand. The larger version for layer cakes & charm packs is perfect so thought I'd like this one, too. | 4 |
Overall there pins. They will do the job and that's what matters. The price is low and it fulfills the need. | 4 |
Just what I needed, delivered quickly. | 5 |
ok received 01/22/16 months after order | 5 |
Makes card making so much easier! | 5 |
I had my eye on these for some time as I enjoy making Christmas ornaments with my grandchildren each year before Christmas. I finally ordered them when the price had come down and got them out this past fall. They are kind of small, but a cute and easily assembled project that does require some measuring, cutting of the pipe cleaners, and a glue gun to keep the large snowman pieces in place securely. They are quick and simple enough for prekindergarten aged kiddos, with adult supervision.
I was disappointed to find that I was short a few pieces so that I could only make 10 complete snowmen. The silver flocked pipe cleaners need to be cut carefully too, so that you have enough for all ornaments. Of course, if you have less than 12 to assemble, maybe not so much! Sadly, saving a penny seems to be more important than having satisfied customers to this manufacturer.
This said, the ornaments are really cute and if you have a few supplies on hand you can probably jumble something together or use the extra pieces in another project. Three and a half stars. | 3 |
Great brush and a perfect size. | 5 |
