I had a very hard time getting the frame I am using to stay put in this stand. After analyzing the problem, the only conclusion I can come to is that the pieces that hold it in place cannot maintain their grip because they are not deep enough...the screws that you need to tighten interfere with the ability to push the canvas frame all the way in. I do see that there are slots that would accommodate a hoop, but I'm using a rectangular frame, much as the type an artist would use to mount their canvases for use on an easel. I'm sure it would work better with a traditional, round embroidery hoop. For the money it cost, however, I have learned to live with it and keep an eye out for when the frame is loosening. It does make it easier for me while working, so I'm not complaining too much! | 3 |
Does not stay 'stuck' as well as other ones I have purchased. Pretty though! | 3 |
smaller than expected but worth the money. | 4 |
Newbe to Machine Embroidery. Great price, no problems with breakage. Great assortment of colors, a good start to building thread collection. Good results on the very first try . No cons.. Highly recommend. | 5 |
I am a beginner sewer and bought this to help me quilt. This is a huge time saver and the self healing works great. I just wish I would have known to consistently keep it on a flat surface. Mine was left on top of a chair for a while and ended up getting bulges so it doesn't lay flat. Not sure that it's a product design, more of a beginners lack of knowledge? | 4 |
I bought this to trim loose ends when embroidering, but it burns too hot and instead of trimming a loose thread it burns the fabric. Not recommended for thread trimming use on shirts, bags, etc. | 2 |
These are good quality thread for a large sum of $50USD but a lovely assortment of beautiful colors.
The downside of this though is that it gives loads of problems with the Brother PE500, you always have the re-thread the upper thread since the bobbin or spool of thread doesn't sit well with the PE500, to get around this I just left mine off the machine but that required some supervision. However, this is a review of the thread and thus I have no problems with the thread itself. | 5 |
Very nice was seal and nice quality with fast delivery | 5 |
Awesome product! Helps to thoroughly clean your brushes and the metal wire mesh is rust resistant. | 5 |
Love ek punches. The way that they are made tends to give them a longer reach than most punches. | 5 |
I bought these to make wooden bunny ear teethers. They were slightly bigger than the ones you can buy in brick and mortar craft stores nearby which I liked. My only complaint was that they were a little rough, but once I sealed them with beeswax/olive oil they were silky and gorgeous. Will definitely buy again. | 4 |
I purchased these molds for the purpose of making soap. I'm new to soap making and have been using awful plastic molds before these arrived. I have been very pleased with the results I have gotten from this mold. It makes 15 - 2oz bars. These bars are smaller than normal bars of soap, so if you are looking for a normal size bar of soap this mold will not be for you. The following is a list of pro's and con's:
Pros:
* Easy to work with
* Very durable thick plastic
* Very flexible and easy to pop soap out of
* The extra ridge gives the bar a little extra classy look
* Soaps come out super smooth and perfect looking
Cons:
* If you are looking for a normal size bar of soap these produce smaller 2 oz soaps
All in all I can't say enough good things about this mold. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend these to anyone. | 5 |
The stickers are very light colored. I would buy a product for card making that is much brighter. If you like subtle you may like these. | 3 |
I received this Clover Amour hook 7.0mm as a gift a few weeks ago. I was hesitant about using it because it was a hard plastic hook. I've been crocheting for 5 yrs. and always used aluminum hooks. The hook head and shaft on this Clover Amour are made of ABS Resin (according to package) which is a heat & stain resistant plastic. The handle is made of Elastomer. I've used it now for a week on a crochet project and I have found this hook to be very comfortable, lightweight, very smooth & slick allowing the yarn to glide, & very warm in the hand. Definitely would recommend it to skeptical crafters to give this hook a try. I will definitely be getting other sizes to complete a set.
(update Feb. 14, 2016) This is my second Clover Amour hook 6.0mm which I just received yesterday (different size than my 1st one). This one is not made of resin (as opposed to my first review above) but has an aluminum hook with the Elastomer handle. The Amour hook is so lightweight and the yarn glides so effortlessly through the hook head. The fact that the aluminum hook is so smooth and the special coating that's on it is what has convinced me that these hooks are worth every penny. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these for ALL serious crocheters. | 5 |
Have not used it yet, but know it will work well | 5 |
Since I tried these water based pencils I'm having so much fun coloring, drawing, & painting with water brushes! I'm so glad have added these to my tools! Use a quality metal hand sharpener and you can maintain these points how you like. I am finding that I am using them up faster than regular colored pencils. The way they glide and produce vibrant color is wonderful! | 5 |
Storez all Copics ! | 5 |
Great product for the price. Simple to use. | 5 |
I did a lot of research before making this purchase. Read every positive and negative review on on PE 770 and PE 500 and decided to go with this one for the larger hoop size and because this model is basically the same as the 770, but for 30.00 more it comes with a whole lot of extra accessories. I have been totally pleased with this machine. It does everything I want it to do, and I have to say that any time I have had a problem or have broken a needle it has been due to user error. I love the automatic needle threader and find the digital screen very easy to use. Until I bought this and started learning about it, I had no idea of the amazing things possible to use it for other than just embroidery. As mainly a quilter myself, I have found all sorts of quilting applications that are possible right in the hoop. I am so glad I decided to invest in this machine! | 5 |
So soft and warm . made a blanket for my son and his girlfriend | 5 |
Wow! These are great!! Once I figured out that the entire needle is the eye - sometimes I think I'm not too bright - I was incredibly impressed by these... I can't see myself using any other needle! | 5 |
The smell lasts forever. I am in love with this | 5 |
Work fine. And finer. I've only used them on a couple of projects so far. If they end up failing me drastically, I'll come back and change my review. But so far, they work just fine.
Feb. 2, 2015 update. They did tend to run out sooner than I'd hoped. | 3 |
Didn't jam the machine as some other did, and washed out easily with a wet washcloth.....can't ask for more than that! | 5 |
These are exactly as stated. They are fine. Not much to be added here, as the product is what you see. | 5 |
Very nice findings. Use these for smaller jewelry items. | 5 |
Product as expected! | 5 |
Awful. I received this as a gift from my daughter. The box it came in was not an Amazon box and it was very damaged and open. I Sent my daughter all the pictures. The canvas was not covered, no paints, no brushes. The canvas is very dirty. I guess she complained to Amazon and they told her to send it back. Not really anything to send back. Lol
So she and I are very disappointed with no solution. I see this is only the fourth review on this. Two with five stars and now two with one star. So the rating is not accurate as the other canvas paintings are different. They grouped them all together and that provides false information to customers. | 1 |
I love how light weight this is, even though it's such a large hook. It was so easy to hold in my hands and helped me crochet up a scarf in a matter of a few hours :) | 5 |
Horrible!!!!!! What a waste. Will never purchase from this brand again. The quality is just subpar in every extent of the word. The only nice thing about it is the overall look when wrapping the brushes up in the canvas case. | 1 |
These are freaking adorable, I'm having fun painting them and decorating my craft project with them. | 5 |
I thought the line would be clearer, but trying to learn something new and I'm definitely a novice in this area. | 4 |
I love this travel palette. As soon as it arrived I tested the colours and was pleasantly surprised at how vibrant and transparent they are. | 5 |
They make a beautiful addition to any card or project...love working with them...fun and easy..Makes a beautiful presentation and so easy | 5 |
Great for crafting and I love the color. | 5 |
Good item. Not as fast drying as I prefer. | 4 |
What you'd expect in stitch holders. Wish there was a smaller holder in the package as well. | 4 |
I love this stamp! It gives great impressions on most surfaces. A Darling image that you will use often in your projects. | 5 |
Wonderful "heavy duty" needles | 5 |
Same as my review for other color.. Sashay yarns should not be sold with a need to splice. Each ball should be one piece because it is different to handle than other yarns. I was disappointed with these last two I got. I made a lot of scarfs throughout the year and was happy when the skein had no breaks in it. Probably out of 15 skeins I had 4 that were not good. | 2 |
I would give these hooks ten stars if I could! I was a Susan Bates fan for years but sadly I needed a hook with a bigger handle so I decided to give these a try and all I can say is I will never use another brand of hook! I recently started crocheting again after a few years away from the hobby and found that holding my bates hooks was cramping my hands, but once I switched to these Clover hooks I no longer have the issue. The glide smoothly through my yarn, and don't split or snag the fiber which isn't always the case. I tried a few other styles but found that I like these the best. If you have never tried these hooks you should, be warned though once you do you will never go back to your old brand. | 5 |
Love it!!! Make cards and this is exactly what I was looking for.
Love the different shapes the cards can be cut in.
Recommend this to all who order cricut cartridges. A must. | 5 |
These are good (for me). I'm not an artist, can't give a professional perspective but they're working out just fine. | 5 |
the instructions were minimal, there was no OEM packaging, The description AND included print out labeled "Instruction Manual" indicated a scale function that was non existent unless I'm just that stupid. It also lists 2 different models with the EXACT SAME specs. The printouts do not tell you where to peel protective covers off of so I'm not sure if there is one on the underside or not; but if not the layer there is cut horribly. Thinking I should return and purchase a more expensive light pad with more reviews. As far as I can tell the only great feature is that it's lightweight and thin. | 2 |
Apparentely I don't understand the sizing too well. These are very nice and came packaged well and in a timely manner. But they are way too small for what I need. | 3 |
I have used this several times and I am disappointed that it doesn't turn smoothly and each ball that I wound, when I pulled the yarn from the center kept getting very tangled up. I have used other brand names that don't have this problem. It is a Knit PIcks brand and I thought for sure it would work well. I'm sorry I didn't return it sooner but I hoped I would be able to adjust it. That didn't happen. :-( | 3 |
Really pleased to get this ring mandrel at a great price, and within a couple of days! Ready to start making those stacked rings! Thanks! | 5 |
I have purchased several sets of these tools and these are the best by far. They are made of heavier metal and were very sharp. I recommend them highly for anyone doing leathercraft. | 5 |
Crafters Workshop's templates are always quality items. Great for working with Jesso to put texture onto canvas, paper or whatever. | 5 |
love the feel of the needle. Helps my hand not to hurt I can crochet much long with Clover needle I have them all. | 5 |
I love the 60 mm Titanium blades. | 5 |
This is one of my favorite colors! I also found them in Michaels so I bought another one to make sure I don't run out of it. | 5 |
We bought our Silhouette in order to make some custom vinyl templates for acid staining concrete. Figuring we needed the mat as part of the kit, we bought this as well. While it works great for my paper projects, we found that it's simply easier to send the vinyl through on its own. The sticky surface was enough that it interfered with our ability to pull up the negatives with the transfer paper. Maybe we're just new at it, but it was definitely far easier to just put the vinyl on the concrete and then use the transfer paper to carefully remove the negatives. When we used the mat, we had problems with the letters and numbers sticking too much. As I mentioned before, there were no problems like this with my paper crafting, but something about the repositionable vinyl made it too eager to stick. | 4 |
These make awesome balls in sculpey but the pointed tip ends are very fragile so be careful as they will bend. Still, great group of tools, these are my second ones. | 5 |
It may just be that Im not skilled using product yet. | 3 |
Great price and great bargain. Just getting started in Beading so I'll get lots of use out of this hammer | 5 |
Product arrived on time and in good condition. Blades are very sharp and easy to dress. So far I have not gone wrong with Flexcut products. Good choice for a beginner or beyond. | 5 |
I'm new to sewing and I'm loving my cutting set | 5 |
These paint by number kits are nice. My daughter is 14, so they are pretty easy for her. She says she loves to paint them though. She will need a class (maybe in High School) | 5 |
My daughter loved it | 5 |
Received the light pad quickly, very nicely packaged. Works great. I purchased this light pad to use with my watercolors. On the high setting it works great allowing me to trace through the Arches 140 CP paper. I've used it several times now, so far so good! | 5 |
Great transaction, Good price and quick delivery. | 5 |
I'm generally a very health-conscious person, admittedly with the exception of makeup. For adult women, it's almost impossible to find decent makeup with a guarantee that there's no lead or some ingredient that is not super safe. In that regard, though, if one is that worried about a few pollutants touching the skin once in a blue moon, then just google how to make your own organic face paint out of veggies or something. If you're going to use this on your kids OFTEN, I would advise against it because some claim there is lead in this paint (I haven't verified myself). But for a few occasions just a few times a year for a couple hours? Fuggadaboudit. There's probably way more junk landing on our skin on a daily basis just from air pollution and other stuff. Heck, we're getting too much fluoride from the water we bathe in constantly. My point is, can't live in a sterile bubble with your organic chia seed cake and have your face paint party, too.
Moving on... I give 5 stars for the ease of use, the brightness of the colors. It's wonderful stuff! | 5 |
Ooooo these are amazing! The serrated teeth give control over the cutting depth into a curve that I found more than helpful. I am grateful a teacher recommend them. Awesome! | 5 |
This is perfect for my small business endeavoring into candle-making! | 5 |
Simple black box, not worth the price. | 3 |
Great for etching | 5 |
I love the size and price of these mats, but I was a little taken aback about just how sticky the mats are! I cut vinyl with the mat for my first cut, and when it was done, I literally could not get the vinyl off of the mat! I ended up ripping off about half of the paper backing (on a 12" x 24" piece of vinyl) to get the vinyl off of the mat. I also accidentally let my vinyl roll onto a part of the mat, vinyl-side-down. That vinyl stuck really well also, and I wasn't able to get it off the mat without significant residue on the vinyl. So much so that I had to throw away the piece that got stuck (about 6" x 12"). So while I'm glad this mat holds on to what I'm cutting, a little less adhesive (or a note to lessen the adhesive by pressing the mat with an old t-shirt, for example) would have been appreciated. All in all, still a great mat, but I'm docking a star for the stickiness troubles. | 4 |
It holds its place | 5 |
This is my first heat press, so I can not say as to the quality vs anything else, but I love it! it is easy to use, heats up pretty quickly and it adjusts to the thickness that I may need. | 5 |
This helps me a LOT at my job | 5 |
These needles are meant for a replacement but can be used as it. The set includes 3 of each size so they are good for projects with a lot of detail. | 5 |
This smaller rotary cutter is wonderful even for cutting thru 3 or 4 layers of fabric. | 5 |
They don't wind very well. | 1 |
Had to use plyers to get these on. Alot of fussing but they did eventually go on the wide mouth jars. | 4 |
Love these paint. The colors a beautiful and they came so much quicker than I expected them to. I am in the United States and they came in about a week from Japan. | 5 |
Enjoying them. I had lost some of my old ones. | 5 |
Works as intended. They are sticky and course. They go on the back of a ruler to keep it in place. | 5 |
I haven't used it yet but came in quickly and looks good. Perfect colors for my project. | 5 |
GREAT STUFF WORKS AWESOME | 5 |
I love this stuff. I etch wine glasses with different leaves so everyone will know which glass is theirs. Much easier than charms. I buy odd glasses, vases, bowls at yard sales and flea market, etch them with a friend's initials and give it to them filled with cookies or candy for Christmas or hostess gift. Etching is so very easy and looks so expensive. | 5 |
This fabric marking pencil works fantastically on both cotton prints and wool fabrics. On wool fabrics, such as for applique penny rug-type crafting, a very light touch is preferential to a firm touch. A more firm, even touch works nicely on cotton prints. This pencil has been highly recommended by Jan Patek of Jan Patek Quilts, and I totally agree with her. It gives a fine, easily removable line for both applique, stitch delineation, and needleturn applique, in addition to regular fabric marking needs for sewing. The line is finer, narrower, than of a tailor's chalk. I found the ceramic markings to be easily sponged off with a damp paper towel or cotton cloth. I recommend this marking pencil highly. Though pricier than the typical chalk pencil, it's well worth it to me. | 5 |
Very happy with this product. I went back and forth between the regular one and this little one. This one is perfect. I can use almost 90% of the dies and it's just the right size for my sewing areas. I am starting to collect dies already. I am looking for them on sale or used to help cut the costs. But this is really wonderful and so worth the month. | 5 |
this was so over priced and the plastic needles are very fragile will, can not recommend this to anyone | 1 |
I'm always looking for boxes to store stuff, so when I found this, I thought it would be handy. It appears to be made out of sturdy cordura, but the bottom has enough flex where I probably wouldn't want to put in very heavy items. I'm thinking I'll probably use it for clothing that inevitably ends up on the floor. | 4 |
This is just a wonderful product an just absolutely love it! I even bought 2 more for using for yarn or thin balls to do dollies.l I love how keeps the thread in one place n keeps it from getting tangled or rolling around floor. So handy, just love it so much. ;0) | 5 |
Brighter than expected but suits the project I had in mind. Great transaction. | 5 |
I really like them and am impressed how well they cut in all three of my cutters. | 5 |
so glad to find real metal parts | 5 |
This thread is great! I saw that a lot of quilting bloggers were raving about Aurifil and I wanted to try it out. I got a great deal on amazon and I really love it. The threat is thin but very strong. I have used in for quilt piecing and so far I love it! | 5 |
Gotta have if you have a Cricut machine | 5 |
Ever popular Elmer's... Used it to make my own gesso. | 5 |
Very old looking. Just what I was looking for. | 5 |
I do like the pen, and it works for the most part, but the ink does dry fairly quickly, so you can only do small parts at a time and be ready with the embossing powder and heat gun. Otherwise, the powder won't stick appropriately. I have used this successfully, but I don't love it because of the drying problem. | 3 |
cuts good | 4 |
2" unfinished size squares x 6. Be warned, you need to get a different sized mat that fits this particular die as the mat that came with our Go cutter is slightly too big, but still can be used until you get the right sized mat.
Like anyone who owns Accuquilt, once you use this die cutting system, you will never go back to only using a rotary cutter for your fabric cutting needs. These dies and the never ending re-ordering of mats gets pricey but worth every cent. | 5 |
I found this to kind to thick, but I just added a little water and it was great. I am happy | 5 |
nice beads - no problems | 5 |
Very pretty designs, but since the beads are so small, it's pretty hard for me to fully appreciate them. They're OK. In the future I would order larger beads for my projects. | 3 |
Greate!! | 4 |
