Not much to say, they are what is expected and anyone who does pencil or charcoal work knows what to expect. They do not disappoint.

The swirls folder is great - I use it often... but the burlap folder, the pattern is too coarse. I would be happier if the "weave" were a little finer, so I tried it once and considered it rather awful...

Excellent strapping. Very thick with ribbed texture that will not slip through your buckle or ladder lock.

AccuQuilt Go Mat 5x10 / B002766RKM I bought this die for use with my new AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter. This 5x10 mat works with several of the dies, including the AccuQuilt Go! 3.5" Square die. I'm pleased with the thickness and strength of the mat, and it doesn't shift when running through the machine. I do think it will need to be replaced eventually, but that's true for every cutting mat in the world, and this one is a fair sight cheaper than most. It's a bit tricky to tell from the descriptions on Amazon which die needs which mat, so if you're confused, I recommend checking the AccuQuilt site for more details. I've attached the video I created for my AccuQuilt review to show this mat in action. ~ Ana Mardoll

These are great flowers to use for crafters

I have waiting my full time period before writing this review because I wanted to spend as much time as I could with this machine in order to write the most accurate review I could. I gave it four stars, but actually feel it deserves 3 and half for now. I like it a lot, but am having trouble justifying it's high price tag. I have two other new sewing machines of much lesser price, and honestly, they work almost as good as this one, and in some cases even better. I basically compared the Singer 9985 to my other machines, the Brother CS 6000i, and the Brother HC 1850. What I like: - I really like the powerful motor the Singer 9985 has. It can power through many layers of material that would stall my other machines. - It is super easy to thread. However, I haven't been able to get the automatic needle threader to work, though I think it's probably me doing something wrong. The instructions are not quite as clear as I would like concerning this. - It's good to be able to see through the transparent plastic how much bobbin thread is left. It's very frustrating starting a seam only to run out of bobbin thread. But, my other two machines also have a clear, see-through bobbin compartment. - The computerized touch screen is very easy to use and somewhat intuitive, thought I thoroughly read the manual before starting to use this machine. - After a few trial seam runs, the stitches were very smooth and even on both sides of the material. I like my underside stitches to look just as good as my top stitches. Only momentarily did I have a problem with thread tension, and it seemed to have resolved itself. - Using the various sewing speeds is very easy. I sometimes would sew slowly and gradually speed it up to see how well the machine sewed. It sewed very nicely at it's top speed. - I used both the foot pedal and the button on the machine to sew. I think I like using the button better. Either way, it's pretty easy to control the machine. - The automatic thread cutter is a nice added touch, but I could easily do without it. I accidentally used it while the needle was down and it caused an awful racket. I had to unplug it immediately and thought I had done something to ruin the machine. But, it seemed o.k. and would still cut. If you use this function, be SURE to have your needle raised before pressing the cut button. - It's a heavy machine, heavier than my other two. It stays solidly wherever I place it. - It's very easy to change the presser feet. - It has a very large selection of stitches and monograms. I practiced A LOT using these functions and can honestly say that my other two much less expensive machines do a slightly better job of monograms. But the Singer 9985 offers a LOT more selection and ease of use is much higher than on my other two machines. - the upper thread spool is hidden by the cover door, but that doesn't really mean much. - It's very easy to load thread onto bobbin spools. - It comes with a lot more accessories than did my other two machines. Lots of extra needles, presser feet and tools. - The light is bright and makes it easy to see while sewing. - Quiet motor. It's not loud and I can easily listen to music or someone talking to me while sewing. - I just like the overall look of this machine. It has great curb appeal! What I didn't like: - the high price - the thread came out of the needle several times for no apparent reason, causing me to have to stop and re-thread. - It did not come with a quilting tray. - It came with only a flimsy, white plastic bag cover. I would think at this price you should get a hard cover as on my Brother CS 6000i. -unable to easily use the automatic needle threader. - I'm not super-thrilled about the quality of the button holes. My other two machines seemed to do as good a job with button holes or even better. Overall, I am very pleased with this machine. I still need to use it more and I have several projects ranging from Barbie clothes to reusable sanitary napkins. I will update this review as I gain more experience with it, but for now it seems to sew well with only a few annoyances (listed above). UPDATE 3.6.14 I tried mightily to get this sewing machine to sew a stretch stitch on a tennis skirt to no avail. I got the instruction book out and did just as it said when sewing on stretch fabric. I needed to simply sew a stretch stitch underneath the elastic in the waist so that it would not twist but lay straight. I tried several times and ended up ripping out what miserable stitches it did make. At one point, the machine would not even sew the bottom stitch but only the top. I finally put this machine on the floor and grabbed my cheap Brother sewing machine which did a fantastic job of sewing it the first time around. I have since lowered the star level from a 4 to 3. I just don't know why it wouldn't sew.

Love love love these! The amount of glitter that shows up on the page is stunning. Makes all other glitter pens and markers seem like kiddie products. I'll be getting the second pack shortly
5
pretty colors and nice quality
5
Great price for a great item! Holds tightly and looks great. These are a little difficult to find in brick and mortar stores but I found them on here for such a fantastic price! Would purchase again.
5
This is small set. Good size for cards. Cuts well.
5
I always get distracted by something and loose track of the seam measurement. This guide helps to keep the fabric from drifting to the side when sewing, and it's a HUGE help! I use it for costumes, clothes, and quilt binding, really anything!
5
I bought these for seed bead storage, and they're OK, but not heavy enough to last for the long haul, frequent usage of someone who beads on a daily basis as I do. It may be that my expectations are really too high, because I DO bead on a daily basis. I don't think they will stand up under constant usage, but for the occasional beader they're probably fine.
4
Great gift idea
4
About an equal number of each color, including black, which was unexpected. Nice beads. Easy to string on 1mm cord.
5
The machine works well. However, the "standard accessories" listed in the instruction booklet were not included and spoke as if they should have been. Can I order the standard accessories from Amazon Prime"?
4
I'm rarely this negative in a review, but I gave this to my grandsons for Christmas and it has already broken at a screwpoint. They are little bitty guys, so it's not like it was a rough and tumble issue. Shame on kidkraft for lousy quality at this price!
2
Exactly what my crafting desk needed!
5
What can I say, it's Olfa. I love the blade quick change feature as well as the fact that you can change quickly and easily from left handed to right handed use. An excellent tool for quickly and accurately cutting fabric.
5
Im glad I could revive my old cutter with this blade. Sharp
5
Good Vinyl for everyday use on tumblers, wine glasses, car windows-JUST ABOUT ANYTHING!
5
Very good quality origami paper. It comes in a variety of different patterns and colors (one sided). I didn't actually notice when I ordered but these are 4" squares, not the standard 6" like I thought. I decided to keep them and use it for other projects (not the one I originally bout it for) because I liked the quality and colors.
5
This is my 2nd purchase of this blender marker within the last month, simply because I use it CONSTANTLY! It not only works with Prismacolor Markers, but it also works to blend Prismacolor Premier colored pencils! It's my "secret weapon" in all of my artwork. I love it!
5
I love these paints they have a very nice sparkle and go on smooth. I use this brand to make glimmer mist.
5
These are the best beads. I won't use anything else.
5
For finer decals, this vinyl just isn't working. The broader fonts come out with no problem, but I had to switch to Oracal 651 to get the tiny intricate swirls to cut without becoming a headachy mess of stuck together unusable junk. I even tried a new cutting tool, but no joy there either.
2
Really nice quality wires. I really don't think these will change color (tarnish) or warp easily. This is a bonus as this easily happens with some of the lower priced kits. I like the quantity received for the price. I can wait to start earring making tonight! The brass is VERY bright so it is not the dull finish some prefer. I received this at a discount or for free in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. I complete this review after either I or an immediate family member has tested the product thoroughly. Sometimes I have very little to say about a product if it works and it does what it is advertised. Sometimes I wax effusive, or rather poetic. Either way please be assured that we have tested the product and have been honest with you. If my review is helpful for you or makes sense, please indicate Yes below. Thank you for reading my review.
5
Loved this thread will be ordering more, So hard to find a good packaged deal where you need both colors this was a great price and a great product.
5
I love this machine. I have made so many things with paper and vinyl. Very useful for crafty people
5
Good needles. Always trust Singer products!
5
Super sticky refers to the Velcro, not the stick on glue. I was trying to use on my bed skirt, then by the next day it was all unstuck.

I purchased this pen to monogram a decorative platter for my sister. It was a waste of my money. It did not cover well at all and was very blotchy - thick in some areas and thin in others. After cleaning it up and trying again without success, I gave up and threw it in the trash. I have since ordered a different product which did the job nicely.
2
From what I could see in the icons, there was a shamrock on this cartridge. But after I got the cartridge, there was no shamrock. There must be too different versions of this cartridge. I was very disappointed because I want a shamrock to use on the Cricut machine so that I can make different sizes.
3
I have mini king cones of variegated that need to be out of the dust and this works for those when I use every other spindle. Can move many cones quickly when stored and stacked, and the clear plastic lets you see at a distance what you have available for projects.
5
This is the first water pen I ever used (except for the one I took out of a children's coloring kit). It worked very well and was easy to control the water flow.
5
Great die! I love everything that EC has! She seems to know what the customers like and she keeps up with the trends.
5
like it. quality isn't great, but doable.
4
Great crimp caps, get the job done, good finishing detail. Hope my review is of help.
5
This is a beautiful picture. I can't wait to start painting after the holidays
5
seem to be fair
4
Very fine chain and is beautiful. Can make lots of necklaces with it
4
these are awesome wish I had them a long time ago.
5
Great for sketching in oils quickly.
5
Still learning how to use it correctly. I've been drawing and painting for 50 years??? But this has been a good double checker.
5
Great to have when you get that watercolor on part of your card you don't want.
5
I had chosen this set of cards because of how bright the colors shown on the box are, however; when they actually arrived, the colors are much more dull, not nearly as vibrant as the colors on the box show. I was disappointed :-(
3
Perfect stretch for Bracelet beading.
5
very very good
5
I am kind of angry about this... the description header on Amazon and the top part of the product picture used say GRAPHITE transfer paper...well I opened it and used it on my very nice watercolor painting to ad another object in, see the thing about graphite is you can ERASE it, thats why one picks graphite over say carbon paper...well THIS does not erase off the watercolor paper ... so I got back and look at my label on product and it differs from the one shown, it is black not blue and it says grey transfer paper not Graphite...as show...I guess I expect to receive what I order not something different, Not to mention it ruining my art work. Include is the product I got, not the same as shown above.

Not Even LUKEWARM. This tiny little 6" ruler grips the fabric so it will not slide it as you are pressing the hem. Any small ruler will do what this does and better. Don't waste your money. I would have returned it but didn't want to pay return shipping.
1
Excellent all in one kit. Step by step and perfect for novice and pro! I wish there were more than 3 of these kits!
5
Great product. Haven't used yet. But will soon.
5
These are good quality acrylic paints. Although they are described as being "fluid" , they still have a consistency to them which may require thinning depending on your project. Golden has a good reputation and also offers a lot of different mediums you can use to mix with the acrylics to create different effects. This is a good set to start with for beginners but I have read professionals also like this product. I would recommend this set to crafters and mixed media artists.
4
Use this for small beads and pearls for card decoration and embellishments.works perfectly for my needs.
5
I was so tired of beads rolling away while I was working. They'd roll off the table and into your lap or onto the floor. These bead mats change the whole experience of working with beads, crimp beads or anything else that's round and prone to rolling. So glad I ordered them. I've given a few away to other beaders and they all have raves for them. A must have!
5
Looks to be well made and certainly does what it's supposed to do. Well worth the price I paid at $6.00 for the pair of them.
5
These beads look pretty cheap. I received some cool shaped beads but, mostly just spacer beads. Several of the spacers were VERY thin and disappointing.
3
These canvases worked great for my little melting crayons project. They arrived on time and without issue. And you can't beat the price.
5
Perfect blocks as advertised.
5
I bought this to lubricate wheels on pune cat racers. The bathroom door lock was stocking the day after I brought it to school (I'm a teacher) and I was able to save the day! A bit messy, but will worth it!
5
This works perfectly. I've cut a lot of fabric with it and it's still sharp and ready to go for the next project.
5
So worth the money not to have to mess bobbins.
5
Great color combinations for shading. I have dipped the tips in water then tapped on a paper towel before using. Otherwise my stamp line should have blurred with the excess water.
5
Convenient to use and less messy
5
Exactly what I wanted. Very rapid service.
5
MY WIFE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT
5
I don't recall being able to pick a size when I placed my order, but I was sent a size 7. So I am unable to wear this as a midi ring, which is fine. Realise for the price, it's just alloy metal which will eventually tarnish. Still a great price for what it is. Also note, you get one ring, not several. Very quick shipping, took less than two weeks to arrive.
5
I do a lot of card making and the glue is wonderful.
5
The light blue is a great color for the background of a LDS Temple crossstitch. Very pleased will purchase from again.
5
Liqiuitex is a wonderful Product. Haven't got to try it yet.
5
Very pleased with this yarn - I make hats and am happy with the results
5
I use this stuff to reattach paper that's been pulled out of my sketch book or drawing pads (for grading). Just roll it across the paper and stick.
5
Plastic just doesn't slide through yarn as smoothly and quickly as aluminum.
2
I never thought I would need these! Having strained my hand shoveling and snow blowing through this very snowy N.E. winter, I decided to purchase these for layering my quilting projects. Now that I have them, I wonder why I didn't purchase them long before this. Along with the Kwik Klip tool they are simply a great time and strain saver. I suggest you put on a good tv program, take a pair of needle pliers and sit and relax as you attach them to your #1 pins. It may look tedious, but it is well worth the effort. Just relax and enjoy the project!
5
Very light and easy to use, also a very good quality. I love the sleeve
5
I like this Glitter brush a lot. It goes on very lightly which is more useful for my applications and the glitter is subtle and lovely.
5
Couldn't figure out how to thread the needle...too complicated.
2
Inexpensive, but quality is low . If you fill each compartment, it is difficult to roll up. Hanger is a thin elastic cord so it does not support the weight of the items very well. Would not buy again. You get what you pay for.
2
I really like this white! It is just what I needed to get the snow effect for my christmas cards.
5
Perfect for working with
5
These are great. They make very small flowers; perfect for cards. I like that there are 3 sizes. Great purchase. I recommend using a quill tool. It makes the job easier to form into a flower.
5
Versatile, very strong, and well made.
5
These beads are actually 5mm (62 beads). Though the color is not as green in the picture, the beads in this color was still fairly vibrant.
4
Love these! They make it SO easy to cut circles with so many sizes to choose from!
5
Great price, good quality, fast shipping
5
Like all of KB Boards, this is no exception. I like that I can adjust the width easily and will most likely be adding a few more to my collection of boards...I have the sock as well as some other brands that I use but seem to come back to these the most often.
5
This pad is great for amateur artist, its strong and durable, good for sketching good price to, recommend it. 1

Some of the paper is noticeably thicker than others. It's a great price for so much paper.
3
Lumpy and awful for stuffing pillows.
1
They are so sharp they cut thick plastic and thick cardboard like it's butter. They are solid metal with metal screw and bolt holding it together. It's polished smooth. I bought 3 more of these scissors. My mother has westcott scissors she had since she got married over 50 years ago and they are still going strong. She has never had to sharpen them. I need scissors in every room. I love these scissors
5
I use these in my quilting business. Great needles.
5
Shipped as advertised. Can't wait to use it.
5
Makes my job so much easier
5
Love this case! It holds more pencils than advertised for me and I can put my water brushes in it, too. It's washable and super handy to have. Because I am stuffing so many pencils in, I am going to sew a row of elastic to help hold the pencils in. Not a problem, just an enhancement.
5
Maybe I don't know enough about this kind of crafting yet but I found it a little difficult to use because the colors are so close together.

5
Really like these. I ordered them for making tote bags. The magnet is strong and they are super easy to install. Will order again.
5
Beautiful just as described
5
Good deal if you are not in a hurry to get them. A few cosmetic defects, but otherwise are just fine.
5
PURCHASED THIS MACHINE IN 2014 ..WORKED GREAT FOR FIRST 3 YEARS.THEN JUST STOPPED STITCHING PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO A SEWING MACHINE REPAIRMAN. COULD NOT BE FIXED. WAS TOLD THAT ON ALL THESE MACHINE THE MOTHER BOARD GOES OUT AFTER A WHILE AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. SO IF YOU ARE IN MIND TO BUY A COMPUTERIZED SEWING MACHINE YOU HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST 1000.00 DOLLAR OR MORE. NOT HAPPY. GUESS THATS WHY I GOT IT AT SUCH A REASONABLE PRICE.
2
This is my go to glitter for scrapbooking, will go over any color, very fine glitter, almost reminds me of the snow glitter stuff. Worth the price.
