The best pencils I've ever used
5
Works great for the project I needed to use them for an art class. I was transferring a design to a block of linoleum to cut. It worked great.

I upgraded from a smaller embroidery hoop machine to this one. I have had my hands full trying to learn about needles, material and different stabilizers. There is a learning curve to using this machine for embroidery. But that hard work is really paying off because this machine is able to do some fantastic things. As a sewing machine, it is large and sturdy and I have no problems with it walking off the table from vibrations. It is able to sew through heavy materials with no difficulty and it is easy to change tensions, stitch patterns and adjust stitch length and width. I really enjoy being able to adjust the needle position to just the right place I want the want the seam. This is really handy for piecing quilt blocks since you can get the perfect quarter inch seam with ease. The various stitch patterns make sewing and decorating garments and accessories fun and beautiful. Sleeves are easy too because of the free arm. Small items are surprisingly easy to maneuver to despite the largeness of the machine. Quilting on this machine is a breeze due to the larger space. Although there is no walking foot included it can easily use any foot that is for a low shank machine. The exciting part is that you can use the embroidery machine to quilt with. There are many patterns you can use that are easy to download off the internet, as well as design your own. When my small quilt was finished I decided to embroider a medallion in the center of it, which was easy to do, it came out beautiful. The embroidery on different materials is a little challenging. T-shirts especially. They do come out beautiful, once you learn how to do it. That does take a bit of work. With the embroidery program you can use your computer to design patterns and appliques. There is quite a bit of learning involved to it, but the capabilities are amazing. There are several online groups dedicated to this machine and the many talented members are willing and able to offer help when you are facing any difficulties. If I were a beginner sewist, I think the challenges of using this machine would be much greater. Not impossible but certainly more difficult. I am glad I upgraded to this machine despite all the hard work in learning how to use it. Every day it is getting easier to use. It is taking my abilities to the next level and I am able to produce things that I never thought possible. Without this machine that never would have happened.

Love this sketchbook, but I was searching for sketchbooks with black paper (this one doesnt have that).
4
I got a Sizzix big shot for Christmas because I wanted to start making my own cards. The framelits are fun and I have used them for cards as well as for making paper crafts with the kids. They cut well and are very consistent in quality.
5
This transfer paper is awesome. I haven't tried it with the wet method but I would image that it would work great since it is paper but you can still see most of the design. It is just the right amount of stickiness to use with Oracal 651. It is good for the price but I now use transfer tape for most of my vinyl because it is much cheaper. The advantage to using this paper to tape is that you will not waste much since you can cut to the exact size very easily. This one roll has lasted me through many projects and I still have a lot of scraps for future use.

I had been using plastic crochet needles because the metal ones hurt my fingers and made them store. I just started using my metal needles with these and I don't have a problem anymore. Very convenient and I like the multiple sizes. I may just have to order some more!
5
Love this die. It i.e. So cute. Works great.
5
Packaging is in Chinese. No instructions at all. I had to search the questions just to get a guess at how many threads I should use at a time. I am a bit worried because I keep seeing where there wasn't enough thread included with the kit. I bought the kit so I would not have to get extra stuff to complete it, now I'm seeing that I should plan ahead and budget for more thread. Seriously that is making me scared to even start it. Seller should have warned of these problems in the ad! At least a warning that it wasn't in English would have been helpful. Would not have given the fact one star, but Amazon is requiring at least one.

works wonderful on even small needles
5
Definitely an eraser you will WANT to have in your arsenal. As someone that has worked both in colored pencil and graphite, one can never have enough different variety of erasers. This one is fairly expensive, but it's one that can erase colored pencil. That's one good eraser, if it can do that! Fo this reason, I totally recommend this eraser.
5
The Silhouette Portrait is a great economical cutter for crafters. I like the ease of set-up and there are multiple videos online to help out new users. I'm using this for clay projects and it's really going to save me all the time I used to spend on hand transferring patterns/drawings that are repetitive.
5
Sent cuttlebug back and got this. Love it.
5
Works great. Like that it has on/off switch. Hate that it drips glue between applications while in use.
4
Great borders strips for cards and scrapbook pages. Use them for party decorations as well.
5
sooo Tiny

I used it to knit a hat and I loved it so much. There was a bit of snagging but I think its the yarn more than the needles (Lion Brand Amazing yarn) I used it after having used the Deborah Norville circulars (which I really liked) but I do prefer the Takumi better.
5
Love the yarn, colors are great and wool is extra soft and warm. my only complaint is that the picture makes the yarn appear thicker, and the skein itself appear larger than it actually is. The yarn is more of an Aran/ worsted weight rather than bulky. The full skein fits in my hand, smaller than I thought. still a great product- I just would have liked a more accurately sized photo
4
A nice selection, works well, but I like a 5 x 7 and these are A2. I didn't understand card sizes when I first started card making. I would recommend educating yourself on card sizes and paper weights if you are not familiar with them. Saves a lot of disappointment. At least for me. Also you need the A set too...of course Amazon has that covered

Bee paper is so far my favorite sketchbook. It handles various media pretty well compared to a few others I've tried. I love working with watercolor so this was a great sketchbook to find out about. For those complaining about smudging and such well you have to just be patient with ink and such and wait till its fully dry but for dry media like charcoal, graphite, etc and such that stuff tends to smudge regardless so just use a fixative spray on your drawing. For buckling issue, it does buckle a bit but that's seems to be personal preference/issue with people because personally it doesn't bother me but if you don't like buckling of any kind don't bother with this, but honestly you really shouldn't expect a 90 lb paper NOT to buckle, watercolor paper that is 140 lb is known to buckle but there are work arounds for this problem(using clips to hold the paper down for one). For being 90lbs this paper doesn't buckle as badly as you would expect it too. Honestly for the price and what you are getting I think this is a wonderful sketchbook, some other more expensive sketchbooks didn't impress me as much as this one has. My only real complaint is that the pages aren't perforated. Also I don't mind the off white color, it's only really noticeable until you switch to a whiter paper/surface but some people don't care for this so if you like your paper to be bright white, then stay away from this. - A small tip for people who like to work with mixed media (specifically people who use markers sometimes) this paper doesn't bleed horribly but it does a bit after working an area kind of heavily (which is to be expected with most paper). If you don't want your marker to be seen on the other side/bleed simply gesso(or something similar) one side and use it for acrylics or whatever you want to use it for and use the other for markers. The bleed shouldn't been seen anymore but make sure you layer the gesso on well.

WORK REALLY WELL WITH MY OTHER BEADS.
5
These are now a family favorite after using them on a recent road trip! They are just fun to record everything and the accessories are great, also :)
5
Can't wait to try these out! I purchased for sugar scrub molds and bath bomb molds and am happy with the purchase. No issues with shipping or seller. Grateful for an easy transaction. :)
5
Works great, I'll be buying this product again!
5
THE best mini book making cartridge for those beginners like myself who want the book thing and just don't have the where with all to make up one yourself :)
5
Holder is very nice.

beautiful love all of plaids paintings
5
Does what was promised.
5
I like these stencils because they can be used over and over again. They stick very well, also. Highly recommended.

I bought this paper to try because of reviews I had read that it is a very smooth paper. Yes, it is a very smooth paper. However, there are dark colored fibers imbedded in the paper in almost all of the sheets. Some are very small; and just look like a small speck until you look at it with a magnifier; and then you can clearly see it is a fiber. If this is not important to you; and you are going to use this for mixed media; or you have a more abstract style; it might be ok. But, I use this type of paper (I usually use a heavy Bristol) for pencil portraits that I sometimes add color with pastels that are water soluble; or watercolor markers; etc. And, the dark specs are unacceptable to me. I am sorry I had to return it.

This cable can be used on the Twist or Spin sets, which adds versatility to your collection of needles and cables.
5
I love these books! The artwork is great and so much fun! Very whimsical, the animals are so cute. In the Geometric Book there are lots of very cool mandalas and in the scenery book, sweet gardens and birds. This was a bargain at the price!!!
5
Love this product. Great for arts & crafts projects.
5
It really doesn't clog your pen (unlike india ink), and it doesn't re-wet when you add watercolor over it (like india ink). I have absolutely no complaints.
5
I use this when I want to make a sturdy purse or tote bag. Once fused, the fabric doesn't pucker or come loose. Easy to quilt and to sew.

I did not think I needed any more brushes. I have been buying individually and pakcaged brushes on sale or at reasonable prices ober the years and I take care of them with care. I have accumulated a lot and keep separate kits for long or short plein air painting either watercolors, oils, or acrylics. The reviews made me buy this and THEY ARE SIMPLY GREAT!!!! I agree that after using these, I don't want to use my older brushes: the lines are clear, they hold the paint and apply smootly where and how you want it and are simply super quality! I highly recomend. The case is a "plus". I bought these in Jan and I am reviewing my score from 5 to 3 stars: a) they did not clean well from oil paints even using my heavy cleaning style that has always worked on all my brushes; as a consequence the bristles were very tough and I had to clean again and I hope tey work, but are not yet as maleable as when new and b) the ferrule is lose from the handle and I had to hammer it tight again. I am not a "daily" painter and it seems I was fooled by other reviews and the quality is no better than many other CHEAPER kits

I've been crocheting for years and have realized that Boye crochet hooks are easier to work with. With arthritis in my hands they are more comfortable and the hook at the end is a big smaller so it's easier to crochet with thicker yarns.
5
Premo clay is great to work with...
5
Little cow girl so cut and fun to work with
5
The colors are all light pastels; there are no dark colors in the set I received. There are a lot of light blue, green, pink, yellow, orange, and a few light gray colors. There was also one white and a couple of lavender colors. None of these colors had any dark tones, and many of the colors seem to be duplicates. Considering the price they are actually a good set if you are looking for light colors. I let my grandchildren experiment with them to get them familiar with soft pastels and they love working with them.

These are NOT sterling. Maybe silver plated

I love these screw together rivets, much easier for me because I don't have enough hand power to manipulate the regular tool. The availability of different sizes is also really nice. I have two lengths now and have made good use of both. It helps make my projects more secure rather than just a stitch or glue for hold. I have used them on three distinctly different projects all very successful. These appear to be well-made as there are no burrs on which one can cut their hand or catch and tear a delicate fabric. I recommend this product to all crafters and handy-persons.

Bought this after seeing what some people have been doing to fix stuff on you tube... I'm not that talented. Some people make flowering vines to cover a damaged teapot handle and other such stuff... Quite beautiful but I'm just a basic kind of girl. Yet so far it worked great! My crazy 5 year old broke our lamp shade off on the lamp where the metal joins together and I used this to fix it. The mixing directions were helpful if a little difficult to color match but as I was thinking I was going to have to make due with unmatched I can't complain much. It keeps for longer if you store it in the fridge which is great but I would still recommend either buying it after storing up a few broken items or sharing it with a friend who also needs to fix some stuff. As soon as it is exposed to air it starts to set and it's expensive so you really need to use it to make it worth while. I would buy it again but I think I might wait to open the pack when I have more than one project to repair.

I make and sell greeting cards to benefit the local library, and I go through a lot of embossing powder in the course of a year. I like the orange Ranger Embossing Powder because it melts uniformly and the finished embossing is a pretty pumpkin orange color, good for fall-themed and Halloween cards. I have tried other embossing powder brands such as Comotion, but their powder is too coarse to stick neatly to the paper. Please see customer image for a Get Well card I decorated with the orange Ranger Embossing Powder (the little duck and the verse).

A beautiful brilliant red glitter, not quite as dark as I thought it might be, but a perfect colour for Christmas items!
5
i would have given this five stars but I was missing 20 eye pins.
4
Love the way this looked on my project. Never used embossing powder before and it brings my cardmaking to a much higher beautiful level. Going to get more and more colors.
5
They are not good. When I try to take them off the project they break. Not happy with them.
2
I use these for resin gems for cosplay and materia, and I think they work fantastic!
5
This is my favorite batt for bed quilts. It drapes beautifully, launders well, and makes for wonderful sleeping.
5
I really like this watercolor paper. It is not pricy and my works turned very well.
5
Full of all the beads I needed. this is the best way to get glow in the dark beads, since you get a few boards as well.
5
this is used for my crafting, and if you do not konw this but there is an about medium size gab running through this entire stick. so if you wanted to make a full ring with your gage wire, it will alway shave that indent when u do not include a bead. so i wasn't aware of that, some crafters like to play with that indent, i dont. clean round circles are best!

I get a kick out of using this hook. My kids beg to play with it; they think it's the greatest toy ever. I have yet to use it in the dark but plan to just for fun one day. My only complaint is that the light is so extremely bright it hurts my eyes! It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard to crochet with spots floating in my eyes! I still really like this hook. Besides the light, the grip is nice, I like the wide handle, and the hook part is smooth and doesn't catch in the yarn, which is a problem I've had before with other plastic hooks. I'd recommend it!

i love these to write lables of plants name
5
Its applications are limited only by your imagination. You have to work fast to get the shape you want before it cools, but you can always reheat it and try again. I only used it a few times so far, so maybe I will get better with practice.

I love this cute thing
5
I use this stamp quite often, especially to create the logo for the band 'Crosses' on my jewelry. I find that for some reason the bottom of the cross tends to stamp thicker and rounded. This is the only stamp I own that does this. Sadly I waste quite a bit of blanks having to re stamp because of this stamp, however, I do have a demand for it and use it often so I am grateful to have it.

I am obsessed with washi tape and I have been for many years. But this is my first pack of thin washi tapes. I actually accidentally purchased this, but it's no big deal. They arrived lined up neatly inside of a small plastic box. The real colors aren't nearly as bright as their picture portrays them to be. In fact, they look completely different. For instance, that bright, light yellow is actually a darker lemon color, and that vibrant blue is actually a darker royal blue color. Don't expect to receive the exact colors shown here. You'll be disappointed otherwise. As soon as I tried one washi tape out, I instantly noticed a problem. There are little threads coming off the edges of the tape. None of the tapes are completely clean cut. The edges are obviously weak, and the quality of these tapes is pretty low. They do their job, although the adhesive is a bit weaker than the average washi tape. Many of the washi tapes are dented, wrinkled, spaced incorrectly, and shaped improperly. Even the little round cardboard piece that holds the tape together is extremely messy. It's all ripped up and peeling apart. It's very easy to notice that these washi tapes are among the worst quality tapes I've ever used. Otherwise, they DO work, and they don't look as bad as would be expected. I'm just experienced in using and selling washi tape, so I easily notice discrepancies in the quality. Please don't get me wrong. I'll continue to use these washi tapes, because they're coming in handy for my current creative project. I'm using them to decorate glass votive holders, along with other craft materials. The reason the thinner washi tapes have value is because they can easily go around the glass holder without getting really wrinkled. The holders are slightly wider at the top, so regular size straight washi tape cannot go on smoothly, unless I cut the tape into mosaic-like pieces. Which I've done before. I don't love this accidental purchase I made. But I can still make it work. Just be aware that the washi tapes you receive will be slightly but very noticeably darker and duller in tone, rather than like a bright rainbow. Also, many of the edges are fraying, resulting in slightly uneven sides. This can possibly hurt any creation based on a lot of precision. On the other hand, these washi tapes will work fine for fun projects or for decorating personal crafts.

Arrived fast and in perfect state. A great match for the Extended Multipurpose Platform.
5
Love these things. I use them for my serger, sewing machine and hand sewing.
5
arrived fast - great product
5
These are very nice and really tiny.
5
Great Product at a fantastic price. Quick Shipping. No complaints. Would buy and do business again.
5
These are great for lanyards. Or to sew into a bag for holding keys.
5
sad that there was only 1
5
I wanted to love these as much as I love my Havel applique/thread snip scissors but the pinking shears are way to stiff to open/close. It is difficult to cut straight and not comfortable to use. For the price I was very disappointed.
2
arrived on time. These are original Janome bobbins which i prefer
5
I wasn't paying attention and got this ruler instead of the omniGRID brand. It works alright but the markings are backed by a thick neon line which makes it hard to see the fabric edge underneath. Although I don't have a problem with the 1/2 marking on one edge and not the other (two 1/4 inch seam allowances) I think this could cause some confusion for a new sewer.
3
Wonderful India Ink markers will not bleed through papers! Absolute must for colorists!
5
Beautiful and nice and compact.
5
I've been wanting these for a while now, and am sorry I waited so long to try them. Beautiful colors, I am very happy with the cards I've used them on. Great quality, I'd recommend to anyone.
5
Nice Product - Good Price - I'll Buy More
5
This ribbon looks very pretty in that you get two colors for the price of one. It is well made, no fraying on the edges.
5
This is the first set of Ergonomic hooks I've ever used. People were raving about how good these kind of hooks feel as well as how they save your fingers and hands from cramping and pain. I bought the Ergo Hooks because they were so inexpensive and I didn't want to spend a ton of money. Glad I did. Very comfortable to use and the case is surprisingly durable. Also, the hooks are the ones that the majority of "hookers" use the most. I also appreciate the follow-up emails.
5
Makes cutting quilt pieces easier and quicker. Received it on time. I Will purchase more dies in the future from this company.
5
Just what the seamstress ordered. A good purchase.
5
Has many crafting uses
5
Great value. Seem to fit several different cutters.
5
Perfect size for trimming HSTs

I purchased two 12x12" IRIS Scrapbook Cases to store some large family heirloom photos, prints, albums, and negatives. I already own several IRIS photo cases (with individual cases inside) and value the quality of IRIS products, the price for these scrapbook cases couldn't be beat! I was surprised by how much fits inside too. Take a look at the photos included, I placed glasses on top for a depth reference. My only 'con' is that I wish these had better locking mechanisms. The closures snap down, but aren't as secure as other IRIS products.
5
Took a minute to figure out the directions on this, but is actually quick and easy once you get the hang of it. I bought this because it was less than half the price here on Amazon as it was in the stores. Otherwise I would not have bothered.
3
OMG I love the Plus. The platform is so big, I know that as craft product get bigger, this machine will handle them. I just received two 8x8" embossing folders, that would never fit in a smaller machine. Not a problem for the Plus. Worth the investment. I was sure that it would be too large to fit on my die-cutting counter, but it fits! I know that I'll get years and years of crafting from this tool.
5
needles that work well with leather.
5
Price was excellent.
5
It was ok but wouldn't buy again. Used it with my brother se400 and I thought the precut was kind of short for the 4x4 hoop.
3
nice quality and a quick delivery
5
I love the Ranger Alcohol inks, vibrant colors and so much you can do with them. If you're a crafter, you can't go wrong with this brand.
5
Arrived in perfect condition and quickly. Love using it - will come in handy cutting up fat quarters and yardage.
5
Great brushes set! I'm impressed with its service and fast shipping. Hugely recommend to buy that if you were looking not too-expensive brushes, then it's right for you!
5
Love this machine. Does a lot that I have not even tried yet. Would recommend to anyone
5
good product, glad it is avail on Amazon

These Cra-Z-Art Timeless creations colored pencils are a joy to work with! I received a coloring kit as a gift and these were the pencils that are included. I thought at the time: Oh dear, some cheap-o pencils I won't like at all. But, I tried them and WHOA! What a wonderful surprise! They lay down smoothly, no scratchiness at all. They cover beautifully with a light hand! They shade and blend better than many student-quality pencils including Prismacolor Scholar brand. I am a colorist and choosy about my art materials. I normally would not try an inexpensive color medium because I prefer to use the top of the line for the easiest application and richest pigments as well as the buttery soft application those pencils produce. Well, I may have to re-think my habits! These pencils came out a winner in all those respects and I was really impressed with the complete coverage. In my humble opinion, these give better coverage with only light pressure than Marco Raffines & Prismacolor Premier. I prefer these to Derwent Soft core. These came already sharpened in my adult coloring kit, but as I colored with them, they sharpened very nicely with my manual sharpener by Prismacolor Premier. A neighbor's daughter has regular Cra-Z-Art colored pencils which I tried and are fine, but not the great quality of the Timeless Creations level. These are meant for older coloring enthusiasts and I believe you will not be disappointed! These are most likely wax based as they sharpen to a nice point but no waxy feel when you color with them. They have the smoothness of soft core. A great find!
5
These are great. I use them regularly for precise application of white glue, and keep another on my Vallejo MDF portable work station for the same purpose. I haven't experimented yet, but they probably would work well with other liquid adhesives as well. The cap on the metal application tube might not be completely airtight, so I don't know about storage for super glues or liquid plastic cement, but they probably would do the job applying small amounts with precision, as long as they were cleaned immediately after use. You could consider them disposable, but I hate throwing money away (not to mention the environmental impact). If someone IS brave enough to try these with a cyanoacrylate product (use or/and storage), I'd love hearing from you about how it worked out...
5
I can't say enough about this product. Not only was the price out of this world, but the color was absolutely fantastic. A must buy.
5
Not so good. I have no problem with cheaper pencils, Studee and Colore premium are two of my faves! These, however, are subpar That was then and another purchase. These are amazing! Other Thornton pencils were not as wonderful as this set but these are exceptional!
5
I use a Sailrite industrial sewing machine to do canvas work on boats and have to oil my machine frequently. This oiler is the best. The zoom spout extends out quite a ways and allows me to reach areas that would be hard to reach otherwise. The spout is very thin so it delivers the proper amount of oil without saturating everything.
5
But my son who is in the BFA program at his college said they were a very good set for a very good price. My daughter really liked them :)
