doesn't work...ruined my casts...ruined my mold...please don't buy... | 1 |
Very nice quality buttons. Works great for making doll clothes. | 5 |
I love how this looks and feels, but would not suggest this for beginners. I hadn't crocheted in many years so essentially am at best a novice. I couldn't count stitches easily or even see where to insert the crochet hook at times. I had to rip out multiple rows after I'd find I had one or two extra (or missing) stitches.
It did get easier to figure out as I worked with it, but if you are a novice, look for something that doesn't have the kinks in it. If you are experienced, however, this does make a lovely finished product. | 4 |
There are a few sheets I don't love (even though they match the colour combinations), but most of them are pretty cute.
Some pages are plainer than others, some more special and cute.
The only thing I don't really love: There are multiples of each page which is great BUT they're not grouped together within the pad. So if I'm looking at one sheet and decide I need two, it requires some flipping around to even find out if I even have another one left.
Not the biggest deal, though.
The paper itself is high quality, medium weight, perforated at the paper pad spine. | 4 |
Love this pen and the price is great. Only place I'll order the Wink of Stella Brush from now. | 5 |
Very nice charms, many different sizes | 5 |
This product needs to be re-designed. Yarn gets caught in the notched openings at the bottom. Terrible with balls of yarn, such as Red Heart's Soft, Loops and Threads Snuggly Wuggly because the ball drops the yarn behind the dispenser causing it to get caught and not spin. I contacted the company about this problem and they were no help at all. I made a suggestion about a sleeve to cover the notches, but they said that they were looking at changing the design, not solve the problem for those that already bought the product. They didn't offer a refund, so I knew they wouldn't pay for me to ship it back. Shipping would cost as much as the product.
My suggestion is to spend your money on a yarn winder and put the time into winding rather than end up with a headache this product causes. | 1 |
Nice gold foiling. | 5 |
Beautiful embossing powder. | 5 |
These are nice, crafty cutters. They weigh next to nothing, and do not become cloying when suspended around the neck, but are handy to access. They are easily sharp enough to cut cardboard, poster board, and plastic, as well as paper. The only task I tried that was not obvious was trying to run the blade down the bottom of a box to cut the tape to break it down, and the blades do not open quite wide enough to do that--butthey are offered as cutters,not slicers, so I will not fault them for that. | 5 |
These glass tiles were really nicely polished and look very pretty. I have not used them yet. One tile was cracked. | 4 |
Variety of colors & easy to apply.
Sturdy to use for kids' projects. | 4 |
Great item--I can use it in so many ways especially in my family tree scrapbooks. Will certainly buy again. | 5 |
Great product for the $. | 5 |
Not as universal as I thought. Too big for my one embosser. I have to adapt plates on my larger embosser in order to use this. I like the pattern but this plate has not been as functional as I had hoped it would be. | 3 |
I've been sewing for 30 years, quilting for 20 and really, really wanted something other than an $89.00 Singer. Read all the reviews I could find. Did all the research. Thought about it for months. Shouldn't have bought it. Didn't have the money.
Ignoring all reason, I bought this bad boy back in August. I've used it just about everyday since it hit my door. Love the drop-in bobbin, the needle threader, the built-in thread cutter, the speed control and the fact that I don't have to use my foot pedal, the drop down feed dogs and the bobbin sensor. Oh and most important.... I LOVE (are you sitting down?) the fact that the instruction booklet is ONLY in English....What?....that's what I said! (there's a completely separate book for Spanish)
I don't love that item # 6 in the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" states that "THIS MACHINE IS NOT A TOY". I think I wet myself laughing when I read that. It's the most fun you can have in a room all by yourself. What else on GOD's green earth would it be but a toy. Right?
And the prize in the box......not some tiny little stinkin' smeary tattoo.......it embroiders! OMGoodness! What a machine! Never thought I'd own something that embroidered. Slide on the embroidery unit, hoop your project, thread the machine, change the foot, push a couple buttons and walk away and do the dishes! Well sort of but you get my meaning......Couldn't be any easier. A lot quicker than doing it by hand that's for sure. I would recommend buying embroidery thread and stabilizer with the machine so you're not sitting around waiting and wondering why. Nothing worse than getting a new game console and having no joy stick! I'm just sayin!
It's not all sunshine and daisies there are a couple things that could make it better and should be given some thought before purchasing......
#1: It would be wonderful if you could just plug in a flash drive.
#2: I'd like it to embroider bigger designs than a 4" x 4".
#3: I wish it digitized designs.
I knew these things before I bought it and was willing to sacrifice these bonuses for the price. There are ways around all of them. I just plug in my computer (instead of spending more money for the specialized memory card). Re-hoop my project. Last but by no means least, I'm in the process of researching digitizing software.
There are a couple free software packages out there.....SophieSew and Thredworks. I just spent the last couple hours reading reviews and watching tutorials for SophieSew. Apparently it's free because it's still being written (or so I heard). "They" say it has a couple glitches....freezes up....but if you save OFTEN it shouldn't be much of a problem. Think I might be willing to deal with that for FREE and save hundreds of dollars (if not a thousand). Will probably download this weekend and check it out but it looks like lots of fun. I haven't researched Thredworks yet.
To sum it up. Take the plunge. This is the best investment I've ever made! It's paid for itself twice over since August. | 5 |
Really enjoy these soooooo much better than the metal ones. Now I don't have to worry about losing a stitch. | 5 |
pleased, as I could not find this color around my area. | 5 |
as a new sketcher or drawing enthusiast (not very good. but its relaxing and fun) this had everything i needed. well worth the money. i would buy it again. | 5 |
This works great! My pins aren't going anywhere. I have dropped it on the floor a few times and not one pin jumped off. | 5 |
Great fun colours | 5 |
Absolutely beautiful beads! All round smooth, natural! Arrived 1-2 days. It's the real deal. Purchased the Tigers Eye and Amethyst 8mm beads. I did not want the "deep" purple Amethyst sold by other sellers as sometimes they DYE the stones to give them that deep color. These Amethyst beads are NOT dyed and all natural, which is what I love! The Tiger's Eye beads all have so much natural character also! Definitely recommend this seller. Comes with a certificate of authenticity! | 5 |
I bought this brand because of the good reviews, but I am not happy. The mat came in a big box that was much deeper than the mat, and it was warped from the beginning. To use it I have to smash down the warped areas as I cut. I tried flattening it with heavy books but that helps only a little. Very unhappy. | 2 |
A great addition. | 5 |
Love the design and these items cut well. | 5 |
I got these to add to my collection so I could have a handle for each different type of blade. They are not made as well as the old school putty colored handles. They are thinner and not as elegantly weighted. But they still function, just without the pleasant experience of the old style handles. Also the blade quality is cheap cheap cheap... the fine "V" shaped parting blade is pinched tighter than the older ones and the sides of it cut the linoleum leaving a much wider cut mark than it should. This purpose of a fine blade is to cut thin lines...this cuts a wider line than the tool is intended for. | 4 |
Excellent quality and so helpful!!! | 5 |
Perfect sized Mannequin head for working on wigs, extensions, falls, etc. Great product, and a normal sized head for females. | 5 |
I have several sets of dies, but this is used the most. Makes a very elegant card | 5 |
Bought these for a group project. They worked great. We liked the length being 72" instead of the standard 60". | 5 |
Bought for the wife. She quilts a lot, and loves it. | 5 |
Love it. Bigger than I thought. | 5 |
Fantastic scissors. They came with a black sheath, which works nicely so that you can throw your scissors in your sewing bag. These scissors are quite heavy but not hard to manage. The weight works well to keep a steady cut. I have had much better luck cutting straight with these over the rotary blades. | 5 |
I actually purchased this to make some 2-1/4" round coffee filters for a Hamilton Beach Single Serve Scoop Coffee Maker. The circle punch works great for doing that. Cuts the filter material that I'm using cleanly. I like that you can close and lock the unit, that makes it very easy to store. | 5 |
Because they are light and don't take up much room, I bought these for my search-and-rescue pack. | 4 |
For the serious designer, these are a necessity. They straighten wire, create sharp turns on very delicate wire, and really are very easy to work with | 5 |
very useful brushes ... many different uses | 5 |
I've been using them for fabric storage. Works like a charm, and I love the removable dividers. | 5 |
Love the headbands I can make in minutes! It only takes very thin yarn and skips a lot of stitches though. But a really good price- so it's totally worth it! | 5 |
These are nice to use so you don't have the same layout for your entire scrapbook. Gives a nice variety for the layouts. | 4 |
it's easy to use and the colors are perfect for outlining cards-even when you have small pieces its great-no mess in hands | 5 |
Wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it looked close to the color of the patches I needed to fix. Well (to my surprise), when it finally came in, it actually was the exact color I needed all along. Thank you! | 5 |
Does the job, but make sure to get refills in other colors for those white colored fabrics.... | 4 |
This is a really AWESOME set for the price! The needles come in a cello wrap sleeve, rubber banded together, and each set of needles is in its own plastic sleeve so you can keep them together. They are clearly marked with the millimeter measurement on the end cap. The only improvement I would make to this system is that it would be nice to have the needles also marked with the US size (i.e. 2 mm/US 0). The needles are smooth and come in a really nice range of sizes. I received:
2 (US 0)
2.5 (US 1 NOTE: usually US 1 is 2.25 mm, and 2 is 2.75 mm. This is basically a US 1.5)
3 (US 2 NOTE: also basically a US 2.5, as 2 is 2.75 and 3 is 3.25 mm)
3.5 (US 4)
4 (US 6)
4.5 (US 7)
5 (US 8)
5.5 (US 9)
6 (US 10)
7 (US 10.75 [not a common size])
8 (US 11)
As you can see, this is not a comprehensive set. US 5 is a very typical needle size, and is not included in this set. There are a couple of sizes that are non-standard needle sizes, so it would be difficult to actually use them appropriately. If you knit very tight or very loose, they could be useful to tweak gauge. But for the price you're really not going to beat the value.
I checked all of the needles with my needle sizer and they are all accurately marked, which is not always common in cheap sets. I'm impressed! Fantastic beginner set, or supplement to a large collection (like mine!). | 5 |
framable photos | 5 |
arrived fast and complete. | 4 |
Dry embossed with great depth in details. | 5 |
Does not fit the new cameo 3. Way too small. | 1 |
Hooray! This punch works wonders. | 5 |
This is so cute. Lots of details in the chair | 5 |
These are great markers | 5 |
Unexpectedly amazing quality! It has a super smooth finish and for this price, it cannot be beat! | 5 |
Love the idea of having these things but they are too small. | 3 |
Heats well. Hard to change tips- had my son help me | 4 |
Very easy to use! Love it! | 5 |
Poor quality - poor coating. we threw them out. will not buy again. | 1 |
Works great for embroidery and appliqu. | 5 |
These are candle wick holders, they are made from metal which is nice, because it ensures long-term use, and this product is a must have! These easily secure the tops of your wicks, so that you're no longer struggling with popsicle sticks or pencils! These unique and exclusive wick bar holders are for any one new to the craft and hobby, as well as the serious professionals, that make candles from home. These work great with both container candles and pillars. After anchoring a pre tabbed wick to the bottom of your container, simply slide the top of the wick through the notch and tighten gently to secure. Your wicks are then perfectly centered and pulled tight. There are 12 pcs in one pack, and they measure about 3.7 inches in length - which will fit most sizes of glassware, or metal tins. These candle wick holders really do help to make creating your own candles much, MUCH easier, and you'll wonder how you ever managed without them!

Way to small to use as needed | 3 |
Best, most comfortable hooks I've used. | 5 |
More patterns than I know what to do with!!!!! I really do like nearly all of them!!!!!! | 5 |
good quality paper as usual. | 4 |
Susan Bates is my preferred manufacturer of hooks as I like the shape of the hook head. This was exactly what I expected. Thank You. | 5 |
These are nice designs but they are very large. Disappointed. | 3 |
These weren't what I thought. I'd be receiving. The few hooks I tried to use each had a spur at the head that pulls the yarn through the loops, and kept catching my yarn. | 2 |
I bought these to experiment on a quilt I'm making using velvet, stretch as well as nylon velvet. It does just as I hoped it would and allows me to sew the squares together without them slipping around and I can sew a perfectly straight seam. | 5 |
This marker fell apart the first time I used it. It would not go back together, so it is useless. | 1 |
Good quality. Will repurchase. | 4 |
Very very stretchy ... but I love it!! Will buy again! | 5 |
Best tape out there on the market | 5 |
Clamps were nice and sturdy. | 5 |
I tried these and was disappointed. Once you stick them down there is no adjusting them, unless you pull them up entirely to reposition. I found that hot glue worked better because I could reposition as it was drying. | 2 |
Easy to use, nice color & dries fast! Works on felt material well, only complaint is that the tip leaked onto the cap when I received it. | 4 |
Very nice product Love Tim Holz, Great fro mixed Media projects | 5 |
Wonderful product. Can't wait to use this one. | 5 |
I use this glue to glue my images to my bottle caps for my jewelry. It works great!! The tubes are a good size and goes a long way. | 5 |
Very hard to get too work sometimes and doesn't always want to work on some quilting threads and some needles. | 2 |
I ordered this fabric to make throw pillows for my sofa. They came out beautiful. The photo of the fabric is accurate, the flowers are large and I am happy with that. I like large patterns. Each flower is about 5-6" wide. I would order this fabric again in a heart beat. | 5 |
Great little gadget. So much less stress winding yarn, and sooooo much quicker! NOTE: make sure you pull the metal spiral arm all the way out so it locks in place. So many people complaining about the arm, when all they have to do is pull harder to lock it in place. If I didn't read the other reviewers, I would have made the same mistake too since you can't really see where/how it locks in. Just pull it straight out until it clicks and/or locks in place.
Also, as for how much yarn can be wound.. some people are saying it can only wind 50g of worsted yarn. I definitely had over 100g on mine, so not sure what's going on there. I think you just have to keep a little less tension on the yarn to keep it from slipping across the top as the ball gets larger. It also helps to keep a finger or two on the locking arm to keep it from "wobbling" a bit, which makes the yarn slip from position.
My personal experience with winding yarn by hand has always been a hassle and a horror for me. Even after I got the ball wound, it ALWAYS ended up getting tangled while I was crocheting! I just couldn't hand-wind a center-pull ball without it getting severely tangled (especially at the beginning and end). This thing has just saved me from selling/throwing out all my yarn and needles and never crocheting again! I'm glad, because I really enjoy it, but the hassle of hand-winding and then to get tangles after it anyway was just more trouble than it was worth. NOT with this little gadget! I'm so excited! I wound up like 3 or 4 skeins of yarn in the same amount of time it would have taken me to wind up 1 by hand! Money well spent!
UPDATE (6-months after original purchase). I still use this handy little gizmo. It's not perfect, but it's still working. Sometimes no matter how slow I wind the crank and use my little trick by holding the crank arm steady, the yarn will slip off the top of the ball at a certain point. Even when I start all over from the beginning it still slips right around the same point. However, I notice that if you just let it slip and continue on, it doesn't mess things up very much. It continues on just fine. I've been looking into purchasing a better manufactured one but they're a lot more expensive. With that said, this one isn't so bad considering. | 5 |
Beautiful Amber color. Has a nice feel and weight. | 5 |
This stuff sticks so much better than the silhouette brand, for so much cheaper! I use this to make stencils and for lettering on signs with my silhouette. I love it. The silhouette brand kept separating from the paper backing and messing up the cuts. Also, the adhesive just didn't stick to things the way it should have. I am much happier with this stuff. | 5 |
Cool thing to use! | 5 |
Great inexpensive paper for watercolors. My art students use these and so do I when I'm instructing them. The paper is nice and thick never warps. | 5 |
Pretty nice product. No problems. Easy to weed. | 5 |
Great thread. Nice assortment of colors. | 5 |
I love Distress Inks and this is a lovely color, especially for fall cards. | 5 |
Worked great at first and a week later it stopped adjusting | 3 |
Bought two of these, one as a gift and one for myself, and I can say everyone I know is now looking to get one! The pages are perfect for drawing and sketching. While its too heavy for day to day transport, it is really good on my desk for when inspiration strikes me. The very large size leaves me enough room for me to do as many or as few drawings on one page as I want. I also love how the book lays flat so I don't have to worry about being uneven while drawing. I did both ink and marker drawings with no bleeding so I think this would be good for children. I will be buying another for a gift very soon! | 5 |
Very helpful and fun. I use these when I journal and bible journal | 5 |
Will not work with wide men's rings. They should state this in large letters on their ad. | 1 |
Nice size set. | 5 |
This tool comes in handy for opening jump rings and was a great buy, wish I had bought another, would have if it had been in pink! | 5 |
I had never tried the jellies and they were cut just right for ruffles and saved so much time with not having to measure out the exact amount for the ruffles. | 5 |
Copic markers reasonably priced. What's not to like? | 5 |
replaced a lost hook and fills the empty spot in my case. You can't see the difference I kept the card to remind me. | 5 |
I had some difficulty assembling this product together and the first time I ordered it, it had a manufacturing defect but Amazon was quick to resolve the issue. It is a nice, sturdy desk made of quality material. The only complaint I have is that adjusting the height of the table is a bit cumbersome. You need two people, so make sure you find a height you can work with because you're not going to want to be moving it up and down on a regular basis. | 4 |
What can I say? Zentangle is fun and these tiles are the best! | 5 |
Top quality case. Holds 72 Derwent or Marco Raffine pencils, with 4 spaces left. Beautiful quality leather. | 5 |
I like the 22 gauge because it is easier for me to work with. The sterling silver wire from Beadaholique is great! I will reorder. | 5 |
Love this. Helps a lot choosing the right colors and shades | 5 |
