It was larger than I expected. As far as a quilting template it works very well. | 4 |
I am so glad I found this tool. No more hole punching or pre-sewing a blanket stitch. Just start crocheting the edging | 5 |
This is very good dye. It's easy to use and doesn't stain anything except what you're dying. Apparently doesn't bleed, either. Using this was a much more pleasant experience than my last attempt at dying something with RIT.
That said, I was trying to dye some ugly light green cotton/poly curtains a darker, prettier shade, and while they look much better now, they didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted. But that was probably on me, not the dye.
Because I didn't have a big enough pot for the stovetop method, I used a front-loading washer. It says on the Jacquard website that you can do this, but my experience is that it's not recommended, at least not with big items like curtains. Supposedly the amount of dye was appropriate for two 84" panels, but I don't think there was enough water in the washer. Also, it was impossible to keep the water as hot as it should be. I have my hot water heater turned up all the way and also threw at least 8 quarts of boiling water into the washer, but it needs to be that hot for at least 1/2 hour of agitation and I don't think it was. Perhaps if my item had been smaller so it moved more freely in the water, the temp wouldn't have mattered so much. But whatever, I think my curtains would have been darker if I'd had more water and/or hotter water. Darker is what I wanted.
It also didn't smell nearly as bad as some reviewers indicated. There *is* an odor, and I think it gave me a mild episodic headache, but it's not anywhere near overwhelming as long as you have your windows open and a decent cross breeze. Perhaps the really negative reviews about the odor were from people who couldn't or didn't open their windows, or maybe who have severe chemical sensitivities. In the past the odor might have bothered me a lot, but since I've improved my health my sensitivity to odors has remarkably diminished. So I didn't find it troublesome.
I was very happy to find that there was no green residue left in my washer. I washed some old green and blue things (stuff that no longer bleeds) right after I got done with the curtains, and also threw a snow-white rag in there to see if there was any staining or residual dye left in the machine. Not a bit.
So I consider this product a win.
What I'm going to do is get a bigger pot and two packets of dye and try again, stovetop, following the directions precisely, doing only one curtain panel at a time. I liked this product enough to try again.
My main quibble doesn't have to do with the product itself but with the Amazon listing. In Amazon product description it says for "100% natural fabrics", but then the picture of the product is of iDye Poly, which is only for synthetic fabrics or blends. I asked the seller a question on Amazon, which went unanswered. Decided to buy anyway, and what I actually received was iDye Poly, which would not have worked if I'd had 100% natural fabric like cotton or silk.
But for synthetic fabrics and blends, highly recommended! | 5 |
I tried it out on a tray to highlight the edges and raised bits. Love it. I plan to use it on some metal decorative things soon. It goes a long way. | 5 |
Truly stunning deep purple beads, a bargain for the quality. | 5 |
This works okay for a backup yarn winder, but the tail end of the yarn keeps getting caught up in the area between the base and the yarn holder. Not good for doing lots of winding (as I do with my umbrella swift) but okay for travel which is why I purchased a second swift. | 3 |
Cuts poorly; looks used. | 1 |
I ordered this product to remove permanent marker from a shirt. It didn't work. | 3 |
Nice set! A few brushes are already broken but nice wuatlity brushes! | 4 |
This product cuts great with my Sillhouette Cameo and if you follow the directions properly it stays on your shirt. But, when weeding watch out for small designs, they will peel up with your weeding if not careful. This product is good for the price but it's not sticky and the transfer plastic is not clear to where you can line up for layering. | 3 |
okay, so I've tried lots of different aquapens, and these are my favorite. AND THE CAP STAYS ON! these work great with my small travel sized watercolor pans. perfect for art on the go! | 5 |
LOVE the larger cutting mats. Instead of tossing the clear sheet, just use it to make stencils. Best idea I've ever had. Enjoy! | 5 |
Stamp on black cardstock in VersaMark then heat emboss with gold powder for a WOW effect. | 5 |
Clear, good quality. | 5 |
elegant, very nice! thank you | 5 |
just what I had in mind | 5 |
Highly recommend all the Longzang silicone soap molds that I've purchased. The quality and artistry is unsurpassed. Thank you for delightful soap making experiences | 5 |
Too springy and not at all the same as the 1/2 hard wire I've bought from Otto or Rio. I was in a hurry for wire to make earring findings and ran out of my wire from my jewelry supplier. This was quick (although definitely more expensive), and I thought 1/2 hard temper would be the same as 1/2 hard hardness but not the case. Wire so springy, even after annealing it lightly, that it was hard to work with and form ear wires, etc. Would not buy this product again. | 3 |
This machine worked well for a day or two and now gets stuck and won't sew every time I try to use it. I've cleaned it out and rethreaded it several times and it always gets stuck again. Not sure it's worth it. | 2 |
I am charmed and glad I purchased these...they are the right size for most jewelry making...very easy to use with the lobster clasp. | 5 |
The colors on this are AMAZING. One of my favorite yarns to work with. More purple than blue, though. | 5 |
I love Ranger inks! I'm a painter and crafter and I'm completely addicted to the Ranger line of alcohol inks. I use them mainly to color domino pendants and coaster tiles. The colors are vibrant and the inks blend beautifully! | 5 |
Great product, esp. for anyone with large hands who finds putting on the tiny backs that come with most earrings just plain frustrating. Well packed and quickly shipped. Very comfortable. Highly recommend. | 5 |
I love the color selection. The thread is shiny and strong and is not prone to breakage. Very happy with this product. | 5 |
I like these so much (especially for the price!!), that I'm going to order a SECOND SET, just so that I can have more than one each of the sizes I use most often! I've ordered generic bamboo circular needle sets from Amazon before (I have all available length sets), and this set is far-and-away the most versatile length of cord, and I've found this set to be better MADE than the other sets. These needles are smoother, have slightly pointier tips and the joins (where needle shaft joins the cable) are smoother, less "grabbing" as you slide the yarn over it. Do they have the dreaded "smell" that so many of these bamboo circular sets have when they first arrived? Mine did. But you know what? Take them out of the packaging, let them "air out" somewhere out of the way for a day or two, and the smell completely disappears. While the smell IS obnoxious (like a cross between strong chemicals and FISH), it dissipates quickly. IF YOU ARE HIGHLY BOTHERED BY STRONG SMELLS, have someone else air them out for you, if possible. Don't be afraid to order these because of the smell. It's a quickly resolved, minor issue. THESE NEEDLES ARE VERY MUCH WORTH THE PRICE. | 5 |
Perfect. All Eggs in good condition | 5 |
Nice punch,very pretty and detailed. | 5 |
this is a lot of powder | 5 |
So happy they make this product; found mine spliced after a move. Janome proves the test of time. | 5 |
will work great | 5 |
Good product but no instructions and sometimes it pulls the thread and snaps in the machine. YouTube the instructions, just wish the thread holder was a little longer so you can add more than 1 thread spool, I mean you could but it will topple over when the machine goes but it serves its purpose! | 4 |
I'll use it very usefully | 5 |
These patches are not contractor size but close enough. They are taller and not quite as wide but they still look good. The materials are of good quality and should hold up to out last two or three contractor style hats. | 4 |
these decoArt stencils are a better quality, thicker and reuseable. I have used these stencils to make raised designs and multi colors.can use on any surface ie: glass. I made a stained glass mirror with this stencil,also raised design on table. These will last along time. | 5 |
The best for quilting | 5 |
This is great for a test batch size of soap or for that little bit of left over batter when I make a regular size batch. Price was great too and company was easy to work with . | 5 |
this case was able to store my colored pencils in one side and my drawing pencils in another which is a benefit | 5 |
love it and lots more | 5 |
I didn't read the description close enough :( and the picture is misleading. Thought I was buying a water cup with a waterproof top. So I use it in the studio, not what' it's supposedly designed for. The thing that elevates this over a dish or glass is the scalloped top is good for resting one brush. Yawn. | 3 |
Pricy for cheap filling, I would recommend getting a pillow at Walmart (they sell them for the same price) and using that filling since it's exactly the same but 3 times as much. | 1 |
This size is capable of many cuts at the same time. I use the 12X12 more but on occasion, use this one too. | 5 |
I love this stamp and I use this daily on all my letters and cards and my craft making. It is a well made stamp and it has a nice deep imprint on paper that brings out the moon and stars, the detail is really nice. I would recommend this stamp to all family and friends to purchase. | 5 |
Exactly what I was looking for and reasonably priced. | 5 |
Love these comfortable crochet hooks. Clover makes
quality items! | 5 |
This little manequin works fine if you are trying to sketch simple poses. It does not sit properly, cross its legs or put its hand on its waist. It is adequate for the price.

Gorgeous Chiyogtami papers and a nice price for a selection. I'll be using them to make jewelry and paper beads as well as in my mixed media art. They have a lovely weight and texture. I've already decoupaged a domino pendent using the paper, and it adhered wonderfully because it has the feel of fabric. Loved the colors and the selection. A nice starter set for someone trying out origami paper. | 5 |
Anxious to try these out | 5 |
Five stars so I do not have to waste my higher priced shinier embroidery threads in the bobbin. I rarely have Bobbin tension issues. | 5 |
Wow! Loved the price. Great value. | 5 |
These are perfect for my craft projects. Good quality charms. I'm sure i will be buying more soon. | 5 |
I now have 3 in different sizes, they are wonderful for watercolors, watercolor pencils, ink pencils, and coloring with stamping inks. | 5 |
I love watercolor paper that is ultra white--this fits the bill and it's a great price. | 5 |
I recently decided to "up my game" with wonderful enhancements. Metal Embellishment Findings definitely added impressive assets to my crafts. I love these embellishments and the prices was so reasonable I can reorder often. I have recently become familar with Housweely products and I'm very impressed with the products they provide. I coated each piece with glossy accent paint, then added a gem or small flower to the center - looks great! Thank you Housweety for products I know will be o top quality and thank you Amazon Prime for getting them to my address so quickly, with no shipping. Win-Win. | 5 |
love this yarn , the colors are vibrant . works well for crocheting not sure about knitting (havent tried it ) but works well to weave with as well .
nice pack for kids but not for any big projects :) | 5 |
These are awesome! Case snaps tightly, and you get a crazy number of slots for bobbins! I don't even have 1/4 the amount of bobbins needed to fill these, but I'm glad I have them just in case! | 5 |
This is a great double sided tape for many types of applications. In my case it is card making and scrapbooking. There are several widths to choose from and all I have used are excellent. I also like the ease of use. You can actually tear the tape if you happen to misplace your scissors for a sec. It;s all around good. | 5 |
These little safety pins work very well to re mind me whe I need to Change rows or stitch or color for the next step in knitting
Thank you for colors it makes easier to
Spot | 5 |
Love the colors included. Can't wait to paint some more pics for them. | 5 |
Love this stuff for small fray and to tight seam allowances that could fray. | 5 |
Good product. I like the items a lot. | 5 |
These clips work just as well as the more expensive ones and they are great. I use them for so many things when sewing that now I wonder how I ever did without them. | 5 |
I love the color pattern, but I am not enjoying knitting with it. | 3 |
A very nice set of clear stamps for making your own calendar or for a fun word design. It includes the 12 months, the 7 days of the week and the numbers 0-9. | 5 |
Still learning my Cricut but love this transfer paper. | 5 |
Great Scissors!!! | 5 |
I like the colorful, flat, heads but the pins do nit guide easily into fabric. The best thing about them is that they are not easily lost. | 3 |
I was in the middle of drawing a picture with a black Sharpie on water color paper when the pens arrived. I usually fill in my drawings with acrylic craft paint but decided to give the gel pens a try. They work just great! Every pen I used had great flow. I used a damp paint brush to "smear" the color and to blend the colors. For example I used orange for the base of a flower petal then yellow for the tip blending the colors with a small damp brush. I also blended the gel pens with acrylic paint and this worked very well. I haven't used every color but did use those with glitter and those that are a neon and was happy with both types. This is my first time ever trying the gel pens and I'm sold. I can use them in my paintings for those small spaces that need a steady hand (which I don't have any more) and they add a nice slight shine to the drawings. I like them! | 5 |
As described. Cute addition to crafts. | 5 |
A great product with just a few minor drawbacks.
I've used this product for many artful projects. The first one was to create a colorful stain-glass window from a plain leaded glass window I purchased over the internet. The glass was clear and the picture shows what I turned it into. It is covered with two other panes of glass now, so there was no need to bake it.
The 2nd project was a vase that I wanted for our kitchen in order to give it more color. This will sit on the windowsill there.
You have to get used to the fact that you will not get totally even color coverage. I've started working with the product with this in mind and have been much happier with the results. You can get close, just not perfect. | 5 |
Stickers galore. For all crafts. | 5 |
My favorite knitting needles love Addi Turbo they are the best needles ever made! | 5 |
Good price works well I like the shape. | 5 |
This is fun stamp an embossing all in one kit. I love this. You print it, let it dry, then line it up and emboss. It cant get any more simple than that! | 5 |
Really cute stamp. Having fun with it! The quality is great as always. | 5 |
A little heavier than I was expecting but came with a nice variety of pendants. | 4 |
I tried to sync the grid with my iPad, but it was a tad off. Nothing I can't live with. I used my Espon printer.scanner and it was spot on. It is a great tool. I bought another as a gift for my daughter and the Portrait version for my machine in another city. | 5 |
Cool looking beads, didn't fit parachord. Arrived on time | 3 |
I LOVE all of my Chiaogoo needles but the mini-twist set I ordered. Not all of the needles and cords will stay screwed together so they first create a gap at the join and then they just flat out come apart while I'm working. I will continue to order and use Chiaogoo but I will only use fixed circulars. | 1 |
This is the best vinyl I have ever bought! I love it!!! | 5 |
I love this die. It cuts through cardstock, chipboard and even metal. Great size and the price is the cheapest I have seen anywhere. | 5 |
Useful for card making. | 5 |
These are really pretty pins and work fine. I like the multi-colored tops because if I drop them, they are easy to find. Durable and good quantity for the money. | 5 |
Exactly what I was looking for. These are very well made and hold up very well when pinning garments. A great find. Packaged very well and fast shipping. Would recommend to anyone looking for bulk pins. Very pleased with my purchase. | 5 |
Adorable! Too afraid to use them for fear of losing them! Use like any safety pin. | 5 |
love these colors and these are great for the jewelry I make | 5 |
These chalk markers are great. They dry quickly so your writing doesn't smudge. I split the box of 4 with my mom and she has raved about them as well. They have a chiseled tip for different styles of writing, but even the small end isn't super fine. It works very well for writing on labels on my Ball jars and I am 100% satisfied with this purchase. The company even sent me an email asking how I liked the product and if there was anything they could do to make packaging, shipping, appearance, anything at all, better for their customers. They informed me that they were a small business so taking the time to reach out to their customers one-on-one and ask opinions and even REPLY to my response was a giant check-mark on the positive for this company. Would recommend these to anybody looking for a chalk marker/pen for their chalkboard labels. | 5 |
Good for gift. | 5 |
So lovely cross stitch kit! Love to work on it! | 5 |
Just your basic tape measure, but even though I'm not a sewer I keep it by me all the time. It comes in handy for so many things. | 5 |
There are not enough ways to describe how much I love this tape. The design is just gorgeous. I used it on a paper mché recipe box, and the background color of the tape was a perfect blend with the box. I have already gotten many comments on it from guests. I liked it so much I ordered more for a future project. Can't risk not finding it again. | 5 |
Very weak and not sharp enough. Bought for quilting but can't use them. | 1 |
I've been using these needles for sewing stretch lace, elastic, and stretch mesh. These needles are AMAZING. I tried using ball point needles before buying these, but I still had skipped stitches. I haven't tried these on anything other than the lingerie I've been sewing, but I bet it would work on some spandex type fabrics too.
These needles make lingerie sewing 1000 times better! Attaching a photo of something made with these needles, all stitches were perfect. I'll buy them again. | 5 |
Works great for marking on canvas when making boat cover. | 5 |
Love the colors! They work well! | 5 |
Great needles for embroidery machine | 5 |
Well the colors are pretty, but Bonbons are so small there is not enough for any project. | 1 |
Used on brother innovis NQ1400e worked beautifully. Didnt have to sand edges or anything goofy. Just put it rightin and worked perfectly. Will be buying again | 5 |
I just can't say enough positive things about this pen! First, glitter is a punishable offense in my house. However, my hand-painted Christmas cards needed...something...so I touched the surfaces here and there with this pen's easy to control brush tip. The color is sparkly with some interference material mixed in in a clear background, a very pleasing effect if you're looking for sparkling snow. More artful than garish. I suppose you could layer for more intensity. A light touch was just what my cards needed to pop. I can't report how long this pen will last. I would suggest if you want to keep it from drying out, store it in a baggie. I do this with all my markers and it keeps them going for years. | 5 |
I liked this one so much I do own 2 of them, along with the 60mm and the 28mm. The design it very comfortable | 5 |
I do most of my journaling on tags and I got tired of paying for pre-cut cards. These dies allow me the flexibility I wanted. If you want a tag that is four, six, eight inches long, block the bottom part of the die, run the top portion through your machine, and finish off to the length you want with your paper cutter. Crisp edges, works on both my machines (Big Shot and Diamond Press), and I know I will use this more than any other die set I own. | 5 |
