A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY CRAFT ROOM! | 5 |
This makes the cutest little bags and it extremely easy to use and cuts perfectly. I made dozens of them in no time and everyone I give gifts to will be getting small gifts so I can use this die. | 5 |
Excellent Value | 5 |
Great size and easy to use | 5 |
good` | 5 |
Prior to this purchase of blades, not only had I purchased blades from my fabric store but also a blade sharpening system. First let me say the blade sharpening system didn't work for me. Secondly, the blades from the fabric store were expensive compared to these. Lastly, I am thrilled with the number of blades in the package and also thrilled with the pricing. I can tell no difference between the blades and therefore plan to repurchase as needed. Thanks for an alternative!! | 5 |
This came with a variety of colors. I am new to embroidering and I think this is a great value and good for someone who is just starting off. | 5 |
Never really used it to give a full review on it. Wasn't quite memorable. | 1 |
Xuron is the best Fast shipper on this item as well | 5 |
Worked great in my necklace! Lot's of different charms! | 5 |
I don't know why so many people are griping about these spacers, it says they're 4mm right in the description and there is absolutely NOTHING at all wrong with them! The ones I received are very uniform in size and color, I received the amount the seller promised and I received them a couple of days earlier than the seller estimated. I have bought things from Beadaholique before and I have always found their products to be exactly as described and of better than average quality for a great price. I never hesitate to order from them. I wish I could say something about their customer service, which I'm sure is very good, but I have never had any probelms with anything I have ever ordered from them so I have never had to contact them. These are great beads at an excellent price, they are exactly what I needed and expected to get and I would not hesitate to purchase them again. | 5 |
Had originally lost it in the packaging.... so marked it low. But found it and am extremely pleased not only with the product but with all the accouterments that came with it. | 5 |
loved the pencils | 5 |
Whenever Brother tweaks a machine they give it a new model number so the PE535 is basically the same as the PE525 except the LCD screen is a little larger and you have 10 more built-in designs.
The PE535 is an embroidery only machine. If you plan to make your own garments, quilts, table runners etc. to embroider you will need a sewing machine also. In my opinion the PE535 has very limited usage unless you're sure you only want to do small embroidery and no sewing. I have the Brother SE-600 which is a combination machine and is very similar to this one in features and price. It is a good entry level machine. I don't know of any machine which does it all. I have a Brother ULT machine which does large designs and borders. I have a Pfaff quilt-pro which is best for quilts, and a couple of Singer machines which are most dependable for long bouts of quilt piecing. I have a couple of machines set up in my sewing room and the rest are in my cabin studio. The PE535 will be set up for those times I need a monogram, label or small design. It is easy to set up and easy to use. You will need a USB flash drive. I use the PNY brand.
If you're new to embroidery you will probably be surprised at the expenses that come with the hobby. You can buy a larger hoop from brother ($75) or you can get the SA434 replacement hoop from embroidex for less than twenty five dollars. Ive found the embroidex hoop to be very sturdy and easy to use. Thread can be expensive. The collections are probably a better bargain. I Have the Maderia chests which include most colors and I replace the individual spools as they run out. I also like the Sulky brand. You will need bobbin thread. Three pre-wound bobbins are included but I hate to run out in the middle of a design. I bought the Brother pre-wound, re-usable bobbins (PWB250). This isn't a time to skimp with a comparable part. Just the slightest hinky bobbin can ruin your whole project. Unless you embroider mostly on denim or canvas type material you will need tear-away, cut-away- or wash-away stabelizers. Each has its own use.
If you search you can find free designs. I buy mine from emblibrary.com. They have beautiful, dependable designs at a reasonable cost. They often have sales and they give you free designs on your birthday. My favorite feature is I can go to my order history and download a design again if I lose it or if I want it on a different media. Also they have a record of your machine and will tell you if the design you're ordering won't fit your hoop. They also have free tutorials. The designs are easy to download to a flash drive for the PE535.
So, I suppose Ive told you a lot of stuff you didn't want to know. Bottom line, the PE535 is a great little machine if you have no interest in sewing and you only want to embroider small designs. | 5 |
You get ALOT for a cheap price. Of course I like some better than others. but for what I need them for it will be simply marvelous. | 5 |
My favorite brand of needles. I use these for hemming things I sew. | 5 |
I LOVE this bag. I bought it larger than my sewing machine to allow room to store sewing tools and materials in. Works perfect. | 5 |
Packaged & received as expected. I was going through the cheap metal ones in a few days cause the wire would come right out. I love these, been using the same 1 since I received them & so far the one I've been using is still intact! | 5 |
Poor quality. Not for tiny holed beads | 1 |
Excellent quality, would definitely order again | 5 |
The real McCoy. | 5 |
This is a beautiful set and I'll be using it for edging in my junk journals. I'm very pleased with it! | 5 |
These velcro dots work very very well. I do preschool and we use these for just about everything. They hold up well to the children using them frequently and have a good sticking power. | 5 |
This is always by go to bead cord. | 5 |
It works! I had to do just a little practicing at first. Then I got really nice pintucks for my doll clothes. | 5 |
When you need snowpeople for scrapbooking or cardmaking this is the cartridge to purchase. The designs are so cut and would make great cards or pages for your next project. | 5 |
Landscaping is my "thing" so the grouping is appropriate. And GORGEOUS! Thank you, M.Graham! | 5 |
I can really use this in my sewing room | 5 |
My favorite color and my second bottle. | 5 |
i love this creative ink pad .. i am looking for buying all the set . | 5 |
I purchased these scissors because of their eye-appeal. I was highly disappointed. They wouldn't cut through 2 layers of knit fabric. I just couldn't believe how useless they were. I am much happier with my mundial scissors. Don't waste your money on these if you're planning on cutting fabric. They were comfortable, but what good is that when they won't cut properly? | 1 |
Finally found a source for needed silver components. | 5 |
they are perfectly sharp for what they are made for and the bits on the end are very good at not letting the yarn slip off. | 5 |
exactly as picture, great for color clay! | 4 |
These are nice. I am looking for bigger ones. | 4 |
Has all and everything you need to journal, comment, highlight your scrapping projects. The color and quality of this set is great. | 5 |
I love these scissors and they are incredibly sharp thank you so much for a quality product . | 5 |
It will work great for when I am away from home and working on a Zentangle! | 4 |
Great selection, colors are nice, a few were broken, but they are such a good deal. | 5 |
This is a different take on water color pigment, liquid instead of tube goo. It takes getting used to, but the color is there. | 5 |
I love it. Less waste. Dont hae to worry about it unrolling. Stays neat. Good deal for the price. Will buy again | 5 |
I've recently started quilting after having sewn for many years. I often have trouble determining what the undertones to a color are. Red can have a blue, orange, yellow, etc., undertone and in some projects it really matters. I have found this tool to be a great help in figuring that out. Even if my exact color is not matched on a card, there are enough swatches that I can at least determine which page it belongs on. Here's to happy quilting! | 5 |
I have several friends who either studied French in college or live in New Orleans, so this is the perfect embossing folder to use when making cards for them...and others, too. I've never had a problem with a Cuttlebug folder. | 5 |
I love these colors, they work well | 5 |
Works excellent. Exactly what I needed. | 5 |
This die cut is so beautiful ,but even with wax paper and different types of paper I have been unable to make it cut all the delicate gate bars out. Could be me or could be the die cut. | 3 |
Cuts well using my Cricut! | 5 |
Thank you. Works for my needs. | 5 |
I love window dies. This one works real well. | 5 |
This stuff tends to yellow over time. I have used it quite a while now and if you are preserving something serious look for something that is NON-YELLOWING and UV-RESISTANT if you can. | 4 |
This is a great product!!! So glad I learned about it from Jennifer McGuire's site. This is so great in getting excess glue off the cards. Wish I had heard of it a long time ago. Don't hesitate to buy it!!!! | 5 |
I love these paints! The colours are so vivid. I have used the original set of 12 and when I saw that there was a new collection I had to add the colours. I use them in my art journal and am starting to use them with my gel plate. I am not a "trained artist" so I don't know all the terms, but what I find is that the colours are both transparent but also full of pigment so they are rich.
The pots take a little getting used to because they are an unusual shape - spills and drips happened when I first got them. However, it is lovely having such a wide opening. Good idea to shake the pot, get some paint on the lid then use the lid as the paint source. I put the pots to the side, with a piece of plastic over the top to slow evaporation. | 5 |
Great price. Seems to work fine. | 4 |
was a quick gift for friend she is very happy with it | 5 |
watch Ranson's videos on you tube. The brush works just the way he says it will. | 5 |
You just cannot go wrong with an EK punch! I have several but this one is by far my favorite. It is a great size that is perfect for sentiments on my A2 greeting cards. The EK punch design is easy on my arthritic hands and the punches store away nicely in their locked position. The trick to a perfect cutout on these is to use the punch up-side-down so you can position the paper perfectly for where you want to punch. EK is definitely my punch of choice and I am sure I will purchase many more in the future. | 5 |
Given to my artist son who loves these pens. Wanted to know where they were all these years!! Great to work for his sketches and stay on his paper. Clean & precise. Fast delivery & packaged well. | 5 |
Works great on keeping my phone chargers from bending. Totally recommend. | 4 |
This is very nice paper. I love the designs with the touches of glitter. It's my favorite scrapbook paper by far. | 5 |
Very good quality titanium oil paint. Made with walnut oil which is a plus. Good value! | 5 |
I tried this blade to see if it would stay sharper than the normal price blades. I did not see much difference.
Worked great but after a while, it dulls just the same as the lesser priced blade. Not disappointed just wanted
to see how it would hold up...I cut up a lot of fabric and was wishful thinking that it would last "forever". lol | 4 |
Very happy with all of the Kates Crafts Store products I have tried. | 5 |
Useful; easy to carry. | 4 |
Good priced, feather/down pillows. Purchased for decorating projects, so they don't get a lot of use. Not sure how comofrtable they would be or how they would hold up with daily wear. | 5 |
I looked around quite a bit, trying to find blades with a combination of low price and good reviews. These were the best I could find. They are holding up well, staying sharp about as long as the OEM blades. | 5 |
I found that this ink took a very long time to dry- even after a day, when I pressed down on the inked surface, I found that it would still leave residue on my hands. Possibly, my paper was not porous enough... either way, due to long drying time, I would suggest this ink only be used on completely matte, non glossy or metallic paper. I didn't find the gold bold enough to use for embossing (with clear embossing powder)- it showed up very light and transparent. If you are thinking about this ink for embossing purposes- it's better to go for the clear ink and gold powder for bolder images. | 3 |
Too gooey and gel-sticky for me. I don't like the "flexibility" aspect of this product at all, it's not a strong hold and the drying time takes forever-- so if you need to work quickly around a design this is not the product to use. It's quite messy due to the gel-like gooey-ness.
I would recommend Aleene's metal and jewelry glue which works more like a super glue (but better) and dries instantly. Just wear gloves. | 2 |
Lovely color. Smooth! | 5 |
Great machine for beginners. | 5 |
CRICUT should be ashamed to put these pens on the market! I admit they fit the Cricut Explore perfectly, the colors are fine and match with the Design Space software but at $5/pen there is almost no ink in them! I started a project with a new midnight pen and ran out of ink before I finished! Ugh! $5 for ink, ruined my project and materials. Other pens work in this machine and don't run out of ink anywhere near as quickly. Try: Bic, Faber Castellated, Calligrapher pens. | 1 |
For the most part, Sennelier is the only watercolor brand that I use. In retrospect, I would never have purchased any other brand but took a couple of classes that called for colors I didn't have. The reasons for my strong preference are that it is the only brand that I have used that reconstitutes after time readily with water, the colors are amazing, and spread like butter. I have to use fresh paint with other high-quality paints after leaving them set for a few days or a week. My tubes last so very long due to the flexibility of the paint to readily reconstitute with water even after being left in my palette for many weeks and, at times, months. Even my art major watercolor teacher was floored by how these paints bounce back as fresh and like new. | 5 |
nice ribbon true to color. | 5 |
This vinyl works well with my Cricut machine! I have applied to stainless steel and glass and it looks great and sticks well...However, my wall surface is heavily textured and it does not stick to it. I am looking at other options for the lettering I would like on my walls. | 5 |
This group takes a little more thought for paper and outcome for desired project. | 5 |
itzy bitzy tini weenie | 1 |
This is just what I wanted! It fits my machine great and helps keep me in line on the seams. | 5 |
I have had this machine for a few months and so far I love it!
I wanted it primarily to embroider names on baby blankets & other items for my Etsy shop as well as things for my own kids...it has done the trick so far!
I found a ton of free designs on the internet to download so I love the computer connection feature...I have a MAC and it works perfectly connecting to it...it comes with a bunch of preloaded designs but frankly they are very old fashioned/outdated and I doubt I will use them ever...the 4 preinstalled fonts are very generic but are useful for certain purposes...if you are looking for fancy fonts you are going to need to purchase them...
I recently purchased the Embrillance software (only MAC software I found for under $1000) and it works great with the machine and only cost $130...
My only complaint is that it can only embroider a 4x4 area but for a first machine it does what I need it to do and for a great price!
On the sewing side - I love the ease of use! The drop in bobbin and touch screen to control the stitches is a huge step up from my old completely manual machine! It has a ton of stitches but I will likely never use most of them... | 4 |
AAA+++ a High quality & fast shipping. Thank you. | 5 |
Nice quality paper. Happy with it. | 5 |
These are easy to use, very glossy and strong threads for fine embroidery. | 5 |
High quality cotton thread. Great stuff...no snags...no splitting or fuzz. Use for piecing quilting projects. | 5 |
Nice! Good selection. | 5 |
These look like pearls and are so easy to remove. Love it. | 5 |
It is just what I needed | 5 |
Perfect, as they have been for as long as I can remember (and I started sewing 60 years ago) | 5 |
I absolutely love these charm packs from JCS. They are beautiful, great quality, and they come in quickly! I love them so much, that I've ordered at least 5 different pkgs! | 5 |
very flimsy, I put it aside and bought a stronger one. | 2 |
ALWAYS worth the price with any LETRASET product! | 5 |
If you are going to use chalk markers on anything, you need this. I used water, soapy water, one of the "Magic Erasers" and still had some marker left over on my calendar. This got it all off! So nice! | 5 |
The quality and color diversity of this origami paper are what I expected. | 5 |
Lovely beads, but I only received shades of brown (I don't mind), though picture shows clear, yellow, orange and reddish shades. | 4 |
Really like this thread, new to embroidery and using a SINGER CURVY 8780, but works well for me and the price is great at $6 | 5 |
If I could give this a 10 star would. The quality is amazing. Knit picks always out does themselves. In would recommend it to anyone. A few friends from the yarn shop I go to has the same one and they love theirs. | 5 |
I have used this for a small and large projects over the last 3 months. I have used it for paper crafts, vinyl, and heath transfer. All in all, this machine is neat. It is very noisy though and there are some bugs within the software that need to be fixed. I recently completed invitations and programs for a large 475 person ceremony using the Cameo.
I have run into many issues using this machine and it tends to make erroneous cuts after 40-60 mins of use even after checking the blade, replacing the blade, checking and adjusting the settings, changing out the cutting mat, and even resetting the machine.
I dislike that Silhouette cutting mats are so expensive and that you must use them for Print-and-Cut projects. I have tried using Circut mats, but there are issues with reading the registration marks. For non PnC projects, I like using the Cricut mats because they are easier to load.
Overall, I like the machine, but its only good for small projects and light use. | 3 |
So far I have only used the large tape maker. I did have to help it a bit, but it was sure better than making the tape by hand. If a person wants perfection, then buy one of those electric bias tape machines, I bet they are great. I sew for fun and relaxation, so, this tool kit fits the bill for me. I like the little box too. It keeps them from getting lost in my gadget drawer. | 4 |
We put a 308 caliber cartridge on them for a key fob and sell them at rodeos and craft fairs. | 5 |
I have now had this machine for about a year. I quilt A LOT, and here is what I think. This machine is about half the price of the virtually identical machines sold by Baby Lock and others. Quilters: You know how you have to use a starter scrap to keep fabric from being 'sucked' into the throat plate? No more. Haven't used a starter scrap in a year, thanks to this machine. What a time-saver!...The thread cutting mechanism is wonderful!...never misses the thread, I don't even sew with scissors by my side any more, I don't need them with this machine. The tension is perfect each and every time!
I have 6 other machines, most far more expensive than this one, but, need I say it, this is my favorite. Do yourself a favor, and get this thing. PS: If you quilt your own projects, this machine has a nice big arm clearance that will accomodate a lot of fabric. | 5 |
Have used these roller adhesive tapes for years, love their convenience and effectiveness. | 5 |
Nice little tools for the price. | 5 |
Not great for pastels, fine for charcoal. Probably depends on what you're accustomed to using. I usually use sanded paper and this is not even close. But it's handy for preplanning layouts and doing practice sketches. | 3 |
