Played a bit with it, I wish all cartridges from all difference embossing suites worked with it, but that's the way one product stands out from another. Very pleased with all the final products...
5
This is the coolest thing. You use these pens and they create a raised effect. I used them for letter writing and addressing envelopes. Really fun product and the ink flows like a dream.
5
Using it as a cake tool
5
Wife needed this item for home sewing operation, my choice satisfied her so I'm happy!
5
Bought this for my daughter. She loves them and would highly recommend them.
5
Works well and looks almost like wire. Small tip for precise delivery and application.

This is very useful but the same type of bin can be found elsewhere at a lower price.

This scissor feels a bit clunky in the hand compared to my Fiskars Titanium scissor. The tips of the scissor are more blunt and wider, so you can't use the points to wedge in to some tight starting cutting points. The ruler printed on the scissor is on one side only - as a right-handed user, the printed side faces outside when you are cutting, so I can't use that feature easily without craning my neck or adjusting where I hold the items I'm cutting. The ruler feature would work much better for left-handed users. The blade doesn't feel as balanced in my hand. When cutting cardboard, I can only cut from the back of the blade to about the middle before it refuses to cut more and I have to "reopen" the scissor to cut more. With my Fiskars, I can cut cardboard from the back of the blade almost to the tip.

Love the die set!! You cand do so much with it. Not only are the dies beautiful but you can get little stars from the cutouts for other projects. To me that is a plus when you can get something extra if you look past your initial die.
5
Works great with no residue on vinyl transfers.

The instructions for making these Pom poms are not clear enough to enable one to make a Pom Pom. They don't make sense. I wasted yarn trying 3 times to make a small Pom Pom. The pictures on the attached card are not good enough. I just watched a utube video on this brand of Pom Pom maker. You have to specify "weaver" Pom Pom maker to get to the correct instructions. It all makes sense now. They need to throw the instructions on the card away & take lessons from the utube video. I will try again & if I have success I will revise my rate 08/02/2017..I tried making another Pom Pom using the instructions according to the utube video. The Pom Pom turned out great. I made two, in fact. The only reason I didn't change the rate to 5 stars is due to the lousy instructions.

This set is so beautiful! The stamps are so detailed. I love them so much and have to make myself use my other butterfly stamps!
5
Sharp wow. New at sewing so I didn't realize all the tools and how sharp they are. Definitely happy with my eam ripper and use it a lot.
5
This fabric is of a good weight, very clear drawing, and looks like the picture. It has a double border so, for my purposes, I will get double the use. I anticipate making a beautiful, fun dress for my 12-month-old granddaughter. I've researched Michael Miller's other fabrics and will be purchasing more.
5
love my cuttlebug
5
Nice crisp image/impression. Not sure which project I will be using it on first, but I'm happy that I will have it when I decide.
5
What a great kit! Really well thought out. You can make 2 to 3 different sauces just with the product provided, 1 normal bottle and a small squeezy worth each. Includes everything you can imagine down to bottle labels, so start thinking of funny names for your sauce! Kit has PH strips, bottles, gloves, lids, multiple kinds of peppers, vinegar, direction (funny indo on what and why you do things) receipes, labels. All you need is a small pot to boil and a blender to puree. Simple to make and SO fun. I purchased this as a lightning deal, and at that cost I would purchase this kit again l. $45 seems a little steep, but you are getting quality product and a complete kit. Nothing is cheap feeling or trashy, bottles are glass and include lids and drippers. The peppers are all quality peppers and more than enough to make the sauces. They don't skimp out on the product.
5
really nice texture
5
Great sharp scissors!
5
Love it. The middle bag is being used to also carry a small sewing machine. I got a 2fer.

I read the reviews on several different sets of these double pointed needles...and then wisely chose this maker. I didn't think I'd use them as often as I do...being a "beginning-again" knitter, but I am very happy with these needles. No problems at all, smooth & sturdy - perfect. I actually think I prefer them over the several sets of double-pointed needles I already own. They seem to hold the thread better and are easier to handle. I have not noticed any snags or burrs on any of the sets I've used. If anything ever happens to these needles, I will buy the same brand again. Very satisfied with the quality and price.
5
These are beautiful rubber tree stamps . Well formed and can be used many ways. It is a great deal. 5 stamps.
5
Greatest invention for perler beads ever.
5
This mat is superb. Paper and vinyls are easy to remove. I use it on all of my projects.
5
This is an awesome patch even came with the Velcro backing cut to size. Good detail and Really says it all for those that understand. Just make sure you check which seller it is coming from as mine came from overseas and took a while to arrive

There's certainly a knack for working with this yarn - you can't see your stitches so you have to go by feel and approximate. I give this a four rating rather than a five due to this difficulty, plus the near impossibility of frogging it if you make a mistake. That said, this yarn would not work for a garment or anything requiring precise gauge. It is absolutely great for crocheted toys, however, and if you double it with a finer yarn, like a dk weight, it is a little easier to work with as well. The toys will be incredibly soft and fuzzy. You may also want to buy an extra skein than you think you need, the end of the ball comes very quickly.

I was hoping to use it for painting words on canvas, but this is made of cardboard. And I had to manually puinch out each letter, as it was perforated. few of them tore. I did use it to trace the words onto canvas using pencil, then I used a brush to paint freehand. Final outcome was decent, though I found it difficult to align the letters. Hard to get the words to be straight. overall, it's okay. fulfilled it's purpose, but not the best.
3
clearly a knockoff but in my opinion it works better then the real ones, my only complaint is it will occasionally leave a couple sticky spots on the material you were cutting but it usually rubbs right off though.
4
These are great for weighting stuffies to get them to sit on shelves, as well as for beanbags and the like. Unless you are making beanbags per se, you will want to sew a fabric enclosure for them. I am planning on making a set of knitted vegetables, and stuff them partially with these. And they come in a ziplock bag, which is very helpful!
5
this is a beautiful set that i have enjoyed making multiple things such as cards and borders. These templates work well with paper, aluminum foil, etc.
5
This is a heavy weight paper that can be used for zentangling or zendoodling with markers or for water colors. I have been using both sides for watercolors and have been using it as my journal for my outdoor sketches and it works very well for that purpose. The paper is slightly textured and holds paint well. I can scrub a brush with a little paint on it and it does not flow too much so I can quickly create sketches using strokes and more transparent washes. It dries pretty fast too. I put a couple of washes on it and it did not pill although I could tell that by the third wash it would start to pill a little. Still, it's great for quick watercolors given the value. There are 22 sheets in this pad and they are half the size of a regular letter paper sheet, it's a convenient size to make smaller sized sketches or paint flowers or smaller objects. The minute I received it I did a test with a Koi watercolor set and I have uploaded that image, for my very first sketch it did not let me down! Since then I've done a few more from photos I took. It's a handy size and I enjoy using the Koi set and the one good DaVinci brush I have to create my little watercolors. It's a very compact set, and I can do this sitting anywhere as long as I have some water and a paper towel to wipe my brush on. This little journal is very handy and I'm enjoying using it. This is the first time I've dabbled in watercolors and the compact size of this journal is inviting rather than intimidating!

I have always had a sense of creativity and curiosity to learn how to do crafty things. Years ago, after I learned how to make one loop, I ended up making a pair of baby booties, although not exactly the same size, without instruction and I was hooked, pardon the pun. The main thing that had stopped me from just wanting to properly learn was the unknown circumstances of life that always kept me guessing. I had tons of yarn and material but ended up moving overseas, and my belongings have been scattered all over ever since. My materials were never returned to me, and time didn't allow me to go out and get more, so I was super happy for the opportunity to try this crochet hook set at a reduced price for my sincere opinion. Pulling back my memory of sitting there with the first set I used to own, and trying this new set, I instantly felt a positive difference. I absolutely loved the feel of the hooks in my hands as compared to the others I had. It was definitely more comfortable. The next thing I loved was that the sizes are much more easy identifiable than the metal ones I owned. Not only are they pretty readable, but once you get used to the coloring of the hooks, you know on sight which one is which, and this allows you to move a bit faster. I am such a novice at this, however, I don't plan to always be. I tried the snip which worked great and with those little booties I made long ago being my inspiration, I will work to learn exactly how useful the other items in this set are. For now, I wish for time and health to be able to enjoy my crafty side even more. A good set for a novice like me, and perhaps even those with experience under their crocheting belt.

I wish the color name was on package along with the color number. I am new to enameling so this could be my own issue. Arrived quickly.
4
very small but i got them quickly
4
I use these for applying hot was to wax my legs and these work great. No complaints. They're flat wood sticks.
5
Awesome. Always have one of these on deck.
5
This is one of my favorite drawing pads to use with my Oil Pastels &/or my water-soluble colored pencils
5
Good for cutting small clay decorations.
5
The suction cups for this product do not hold at all. Very disappointed by this product.
2
Love the colors. Took me a minute to get used to them because of the tip being a true brush ,but got the hang of it and love to use them. Thank you very much.
5
The design was right but the holes were not even close to being real life size. Very miniture.... I guess I will have to cut a small piece of the real chicken wire to use.
3
A good, solid book. Almost as wonderful as the Beta version is for ink and watercolor (the paper is just not quite as hefty). Lovely to work with. I only wish S&B made these in a wider range of sizes and formats.
5
This mat works so well that I can stop buying dies to cut around my stamps, and just use this mat with my Portrait instead. If you're using a camera phone to take your picture (rather than using a scanner), you might need to calibrate your phone. Evidently that is not necessary with iPhone 6 and 6Plus. There's a learning curve, especially if you want a small border around your image, but with practice and research, it works perfectly.
5
For some reason the copper does not stick to the glass. My other copper does. Would recommend purchasing at a stain glass place.
1
I am having trouble with clean cuts, blades not staying sharp,the mats do not hold stickiness very well, you have to clean them , then find a product that has temp adhesive to restick
3
I made several necklaces out of these and they never failed to catch customers eyes at craft shows. They look particularly striking with black chains or cords
5
First time getting a glue pen, very easy to use. Dries quickly. A bit more expensive than using bottled glue, but great when you need it for just a couple of swipes.

I purchased this case at a steep discount in exchange for my honest thoughts. We are really enjoying the current "adult coloring book" craze around our home. We have many different books and the kids and I enjoy coloring time while we listen to history lectures (we homeschool), and sometimes in the evening too. It's an easy way to relax and get some talk time in with the kids. With coloring books come way too many sets of coloring implements. Regular colored pencils, watercolor pencils, fine tip pens, felt tip pins, it goes on and on. All good fun though - but problematic to store! This is a great little case both for traveling with (I'm thinking church to keep the kids engaged/quiet), or just to keep your colors all in order at home. When fully loaded up the case is 8"x5"x3". Even with some sections empty it takes up about that much space because of the stiff zippers between the compartments. The capacity is listed as 72 pens, but it depends on how thick your pens are. With colored pencils I have no problems but with some of my tapered pens every few I have to skip a hole as they get too snug. To contrast this style to pencil wraps it is nice because it takes up much less room (pencil wraps are very cool, but when you have the full thing open you need a big space for it which you don't always have while out and about.) The zippers slide very smoothly, the stitching is nice and strong, and I love the pattern on the shiny main material. Great product and well made, I think you'll be happy with it. I've included some pics to show how different items fit. Ignore my stubby pencils - clearly time for a new set! :)

wonderful quality

not the color I had hoped....an awful yellow

This review is totally honest, I bought the machine on my own and did not receive anything from the company in the way of compensation. I quilt with heavy fabrics through several layers and have gone through several machines in a year so when I saw this on sale during the Christmas in July promotion I bought it. I received it in 2 days and found it basic and easy to set up. I was a little disappointed to find that the casing is plastic. I thought because it was heavy duty it would be like my older machines, metal. Because it is plastic it means I will have to be a bit gentler with it to have it last without having some little part break. I like simplicity especially after dealing with complicated embroidery machines and I appreciate that about this basic Singer model. I set it up easily without having to refer to the instructions. I put it through several tests of heavy textured cottons in two layers and although it is advertised as having extra high speed, I didn't find it to be any faster than any of my machines. The casing is plastic and when you sew at a high speed it is noisy and kind of shudders so I would not expect it to perform well over time when used at high speeds. Commercial heavy duty machines are much noisier than this, though, so it is not a bad trade-off. However, it gets the job done handling multiple layers of batting, backing and heavy fabrics with some ease. The feed dogs are powerful. You get a flimsy paper-like cover with it but I won't be transporting it anywhere so the cover is sufficient to keep dust off. The placement of the carrying handle is a little weird as it folds over the spool of thread. The spool itself tilts only slightly to allow for placement of the thread spool and the spool holder seems somewhat fragile. I do not like the presser foot lift at the back of the machine requiring left hand operation. I'm right handed so it took some getting used to. When I'm sewing in short lengths I have to stop to use my left hand to reach around to the back to lift and lower the presser foot. This is somewhat annoying because I've yet to find my rhythm. I'm hoping that will change with time. The bobbin is a general plastic bobbin you will find used for Singer, Brother and other machines. The bobbin wider feature works quickly and smoothly. The reverse feature depends on the sewer to press a lever down to reverse stitching. Again, this is not a quick push button movement, it is a little stiff and requires pressure. Tension dials and stitch length dials are very basic. The machine is capable of very few basic patterns and the buttonhole feature looks interesting but I can't say I've tried it yet. It is light to carry and move around. I will use this machine for sewing multiple layers of quilts and leave the lighter sewing tasks to my embroidery machines. Hope this helps some of you who are wondering about how much of a "heavy duty" machine this is and how it performs.

Very nice soap. Cuts easily and melts well. Really very easy to use.

Very beautiful set of turquoise/aqua colored beads.

I am quite happy with my new hot glue gun from Ohuhu. First, I really appreciate the compact size. I can store the gun and included glue sticks in the package, which measures 8.5 by 6.1 by 2.8 inches. The small size also makes using the glue gun easier for me. I am a small woman with small hands. I am able to pick up this glue gun one-handed and hold my craft in the other hand without any problem. I definitely recommend this glue gun to smaller adults and older children who are responsible enough to work with heated tools. Ohuhu includes twenty-six 10-inch glue sticks with the hot glue gun, so I could get started crafting right away. My first project was some DIY stars made from wooden craft sticks. As described, the glue offers a firm adhesive. I am super glad that I put some wax paper and scrap paper down on my countertop before using the glue gun. I dripped a little of the hot glue onto the wax paper while assembling my stars. The adhesive is so strong that I had to rip the paper a bit to remove my completed star. I sure am glad that I did not glue the star to my counter! The glue sets within 10 to 20 seconds, and I very much appreciate the quick cool time. If you need a strong adhesive, Ohuhu provides as promises! Just be sure to lay down some scrap paper before you begin crafting because the glue sticks to so many surfaces! Using the hot glue gun from Ohuhu is incredibly easy. Start by inserting a glue stick in the gun and then plugging the cord in. As described, the glue gun warms up in three to five minutes. Ohuhu warns that the glue gun may smoke during the first few uses, but I did not experience this minor and common issue. Once the glue gun preheated, I pressed gently on the trigger to release some of the hot glue. The glue came out smoothly but did not overflow. My only complaint is that the adjustable wire stand is a little flimsy. I found that laying the gun down was easier than attempting to use the stand. However, the glue gun delivers hot glue perfectly every time. My wooden craft stick stars turned out beautifully! I received a hot glue in exchange for my honest opinion.

Very happy using this for ink sketches, dry media such as micron pens and stabilo 88 fine tip pens. I did try prismacolor artist markers and while the effect was nice you'll want a blotter card behind the paper as there was total bleed. Same with copics. Nice size. Flexible cover that feels like synthetic dolphin skin (in my head this is what dolphins feel like, no idea about reality). Surprise pocket, bookmark ribbon, and elastic band closure.
5
The product is great. I'm glad I got it.
5
Like the item very much.
5
Got this as a gift for my daughter, the aspiring artist, and she loves them.

The wild looking sponges are tiny and if you use them vigorously they break apart. I LIKE the wild sponges but I wish they were a bit bigger and more durable. The round sponges are just plain awful. They do NOT absorb water. They are so synthetic they don't hold the ability to retain water properly so I used them to scrub images clean and they ripped the images up so they are too tough to use anyway.
3
Great designs to use, mix and match. Awesome - highly recommended for all craft projects, i need 3 more words to end this
5
This is great to store dried ink in; just drop a little ink and let dry and reuse later
5
This transfer tape is easy to use, and I like the grid backing for cutting it neatly and placing a vinyl decal. The burnishing stick is a wood tongue depressor, and I've found using a credit card or my bone folder works a little better on most surfaces. I've used it with very fine cuts, and it works great. It hasn't left marks on anything so far and it peels up easily even with very fine cut designs when it's well burnished leaving just the decal. It can be re-used if you're careful, but unless it's necessary, I wouldn't recommend it.
4
Anything Spellbinders is great. I love this one. Soooo Beautiful
5
Does the job. As others have stated it is much smaller than I expected but does hold quite a bit of pins.
3
I love working with Red Heart yarn! It is inexpensive, yet durable and becomes softer overtime. This is a good yarn for making all sorts of projects, as it is thick enough to see the stitches in your work. It also does not split easy and rarely are there any knots in the skeins I've purchased. *Please note that when purchasing this product, the variegated yarn will usually have less yardage than the solid colors*
5
As a newbie to sewing DIY crafts, this fusible fleece has made my projects sturdy and professional. The best part is that it smooths out the hard-to-iron fabrics that I use once it's adhered which gives a great finish to the projects. It is so easy to use and my sewing machine sews through it with ease. I will definitely buy more.
5
Really cute scrape type book each page is a different print. It also comes with a pen/glue stick and pocket to tuck things in. Great for summer camp ,school year ,or just anything. Great for tween,teen or adult.
5
don't like this at all. was not what I expected. will probably not use it.
2
Makes thread easier to work with.
5
yeah not thrilled with this bag. You see the large top well to bad nothing stays in the netting at the top wasted huge space
1
The fibers wanted to separate quite a bit. I am not very experienced and it may have been as much my fault but, I didn't like that. It is very soft and produced a nice border on my blanket.
3
It's so cute!!!! Oh my gosh, absolutely cute, and functional, I really like this hole puncher. It works perfectly for my 1/2 size binder (5.5 x 8.x5), and I've used it already to put loads of paper into my new binder.
5
good size, does well
4
It works but it's hard to use because the latch is so small.
1
I used these for wax so far (not for linoleum), and they are reasonably good. I am sure they would cut linoleum just fine as well (just watch your fingers!). The handle storage is very convenient.
4
I am so excited to try this mat out. I have seem such awesome projects done with this mat. Shipping was fast and on time.
5
I got it on time and I think at a good price . It's a wonderful little die cut and I think you would like it .I will buy again from this seller.
5
Purchased this for my mother. She had ran out of floss at 30% into working on this picture. I contacted Amazon and the manufacturer. Amazon reps could not help me, I was directed to the Manufacturer from who I got email from saying basically, "ya we received your letter and issues will be solved". No one fixed anything or got back to us. If you are cool with going to Michaels or Jo Ann's and pick/matching floss colors then picture itself is wonderful. Kit has limited amount of floss!!!!!

Great canvas panels. Works well with multiple mediums.
5
They write really smooth and are SUPER fine. They actually color coordinate almost perfectly with the Girl Scout cookie boxes!

I really don't enjoy leaving negative feedback, but when it seems to effect ones health, I feel I have no choice. Last year I ordered an Alvin cutting mat same size as this one from Amazon. It has been a great mat, and when I saw this one, by Adir, I researched and thought it and the Alvin one are made by the same company. This one had a great price, and I wanted another mat to butt against the Alvin one I have to make my quilt cutting area bigger, so I ordered it. Well, I have had this one for over 1 week, and the "chemical" smell that comes from it is overwhelming! I have tried letting it air out, with some baking soda, and it has not helped it at all. If it was just a strong smell, I could maybe try and just let it, over time, dissipate... But, the "chemical" smell is so strong that it burns my eyes and nose and throat, makes me nauseated. And, I cannot imagine how my fabric would smell if I cut it on this mat!...So, thank goodness for Amazon and their awesome customer service!.. I am returning this mat, and have already ordered another Alvin mat. Actually the price on it has lowered, and the Alvin mat has been an awesome mat...I only hope the way it is manufactured is the same as 1 year ago, and I won't have this same problem!

I really enjoyed using these water colors, I'm new to them and figured these would be a good starting point if I'm looking to pick them up. Well, definitely a good purchase, glad I bought two of them. The colors are nice and vibrant, since I'm new I couldn't say much else to them but still a good purchase.
5
These brushes are so much fun to use when you just need a tiny bit of shimmer in what you're painting. I've purchase several in different colors and all of the colors were lovely. One pen was defective--however, Amazon replaced it in 2 days with no charge. I was delighted with their customer service. I haven't had them long enough to know if they last awhile or not, but I'm assuming that, since I won't be using them to cover large spaces, they'll last quite a while. Try them, you'll love the colors.
5
This thing works great!!!
5
This is a truly beautiful design either as a set of 'half fans' or a whole daisy fan as shown on the pack. The design is fairly large and looks great when you want a large design for a border edge. Just punching the design on both sides of a paper strip with no distance between gives a beautiful string of circular daisy links as well. I will post a photo later of the design as punched out on both edges of a strip of paper. I would certainly recommend the punch.
5
Smooth easy to use with great joins. Good addition to any needle collection.
5
Fantastic product and customer service!

So far I love this machine. It does everything I want it to and is easy to use. Someone on here left a review saying there was no way to adjust "pressure". I'm assuming they mean tension. If this is what they were meaning then they were wrong. You can easily adjust the tension. You just need to take a quick look at the manual if you can't figure it out. Although I think most people could figure it out on their own. I think there was something mentioned about it not having thread cutters which is also inaccurate. This machine has 4 thread cutters on it, lol. It has one main one for when you get done sewing, one where you insert the bobbin, and two (one on either side) of the bobbin winder. All work beautifully. The automatic threader takes some getting used to but you don't have to use it if you don't want too. For me I think it's faster to thread without it but I'm making myself practice it so I can get better. I'd be happy enough without it but I could see it being a great plus to someone who's hands aren't so steady or who has trouble threading needles. My only complaint is that my faceplate kind of sticks up on one side. I was worried this might catch fabric but it hasn't given me any problems so I guess it's ok. I'm still giving it a full 5 stars because it's a great machine so far and that doesn't seem to cause any trouble. On a side note I thought some of the parts might be missing when I first opened this. I looked all through the box and searched everything before I figured out that the area near the bobbin casing opens up and stores all those things inside. I was upgrading from a very old Kenmore so this feature wasn't something I was accustomed to and it would have been nice if there was a sticker or something on there to let you know. Or if it said on the item list where the items were located or something.

My fiancee bought me these. I looove the colors. Nice big spools. .but 8 of them are unusable. They are so tangled I wouldn't dare stick them into my machine. Sad because I wanted to love them! It was the black, navy blue, dark brown, red and a gold. The others have worked great .no breaks...no problems..only the ones mentioned
3
Works great and very cute
5
Great Value!!!

Can pull them apart always.

Quality Schmetz product does the job as expected.
5
I finally found a product that eliminated my spool mess. I couldn't be happier with it, I have absolutely no problem using it. I am very happy that I have got it!
5
My daughter hasn't left it alone since opening it today.
5
Love this stuff! Just a little bit goes a long way!
5
If you use any of the Ranger inks and paints or any other brand reactive media, then you need this mat. Nothing sticks to it and you can use it as a paint pallet or for painting by direct contact. If you are in doubt, Tim Holtz has many demo videos to show how to use this product.
5
Use a heavier cardstock for best results, but it does come out very cute once it's finished and embellished.
5
I love Zigs Wink of Stella and was looking foreward to these metalics. The ink leaks out of the side instead of through the brush. Completely useless and made such a mess! I should have read the reviews and skipped this product.

Very Nice Canvas, good quality well made
