Best thread I've seen, and a LOT of people are saying this type is good! So excited to use the large variety of colors	5
So incredibly tiny they are useless	1
Accessorizing...	5
I have been looking for a small metal T-square for craft projects and this is perfect! Very sturdy plastic, with crisp markings. Aligns flush against the edge of my work bench. Lies perfectly flat. Crisp markings on both edges of the metal rule. The 12" size is ideal for my small work bench.	5
A great group of flowered fabrics, a nice balance of colors and patterns. It works up great with the marble fabrics!	5
I have ordered this set about 4 times now. I love all the colors and use it for so many projects, embroidery,crochet, card making jewelry. Just can't go wrong and so very many colors to choose from. Love it ! Fast shipping and no problems.	5
These will be really nice for Easter cards.	5
High quality scissors, unlike cheaper ones	5
Great quality and ease of use!	5
As an avid knitter/crocheter, I got this for myself a few months ago, and I am in love with it. I'm getting another one as a Christmas gift for a sister-in-law who crochets, and I know she will love it as well.	5
Good product. Buy large one instead.	5
Product is as described and designed for the Cricut cutting machine. Standard grip mats are VERY sticky at first, and paper will curl once it is peeled off the mat. I recommend taking a clean t-shirt and pressing it to the mat several times to remove the over-kill on the stickiness so as not to destroy your craft.	5
Ill admit that I paid a little more than planned to get a machine with an automatic thread cutter and I have no regrets! I love this machine!	5
Very fine powder that doesn't clump. After an initial test under a sunlamp before being placed in a darkened room, I was impressed with how long the pigment held its glow and with a pretty phenomenal vibrancy. I will be doing a resin test with this in the coming months and will update accordingly on how well this product works within those constraints, but overall, I'm happily shocked by how well it does what it says so far.	5
several of the paint tubes were dried out	2
I absolutely love this pen! It has a fat end and a thin end. Its color works beautifully and then when you are ready for the color to disappear you just spritz with water and it goes away! When your fabric dries there is no shadow! I have used countless other marking pens and pencils, this is my favorite! I even gave one to a friend as a gift so she didn't have to learn as I have. This is the best for marking a quilt !	5
I do a lot of classes so I actually ordered another set as I never seem to have enough blocks. The guide on the blocks makes it easier to line images up however for exact placement I would recommend the stampamajig.	5
Works good . Would purchase again. Well tell others.	4
I love these wonder clips. The colors are fun, and the clips work great. You sure cannot beat the price. I have told all my quilting friends about them. The clips are great for holding binding on quilts when getting sewing by machine or hand. No pricking your fingers with pins. Great idea.	5
Schmetz makes the best home machine needles. This twin stretch needle is great for knit fabrics, it doesn't create holes when sewing and gives necklines and sleeve hems just a tiny bit more stretch. When used with wolly nylon in the bobbin, seams don't pop.	5
great prices nice quantity	5
This was gift for my artsy mother, and she LOVED them! Very easy and clean to use, the results were fantastic. I'd definitely reccommend them!	5
Lioks like starry, srarry night. So beautiful. Made cushion covers with it.	5
Made soaps from this for all the grandchildren and they love it. Great product and will order more.	5
I like this craft punch. It works well and the snowflakes look great! The only con I have so far is that it is a bit difficult to use through cardstock but it cuts out fine with cardstock.	5
true color. dries fast.	4
Nice and strong and stretchy-can only be used with large hole beads but it will work very well once I get the right beads for it	5
BEAUTIFUL STENCILS THE KIDS LOVED THEM AT THEIR BIRTHDAY PARTIES, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR PRODUCT QUALITY AND ALLOWING MY KIDS TO HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY	5
I just want to know one thing: Why is the backing so thick? It seems to hold color well though.	2
This stuff is super sticky, but it's PERFECT for making your own glue dots. I've already made at least a hundred of varying sizes (like what you buy at the craft stores) and the bottle is still relatively full. Great bargain for this application.	5
Zippers are just perfect for my project.	4
These are so great for knitting and sewing. They feel like cotton, not elastic, but offer support to fingers as well as hands and wrists, and a little bit of warmth for comfort. I wear them when I go out as well. I use a cane for walking, and these help support my wrist as well as protect my palm from developing callouses. I do have very small hands, and I wish these came in an extra small, other than that, I love them.	5
WOW- this stuff is amazing! I read the mixed reviews on it and decided to give it a try anyway. Out of the bottle, it appeared to be pearl paint- white base with pearlescent sparkles. But when I mixed it with my acrylics, it turned them into sparkly, metallic paints. The white base is sort of an illusion- it does NOT lighten paint when mixed with colors. I used just a tiny dot of it on my palette and it gave a very sheer sparkle/shimmer to all my colors without fading them or lightening them. You can either use this sparingly for a barely-noticeable effect just to make the colors pop a little on the canvas, or you can mix heavier amounts to get different variations of metallic effects. I highly recommend this!	5
Finally a thread hold that is heavy enough to stay put while I am sewing. Great for double needle sewing!	5
I very much liked my Quantum Stylist when it first arrived. Actually, thats not quite true. The first time I tried the alphabet letters, I got only the top half of the letter. I really didn't want to send the machine back, but after studying the problem, I realized the needle never went onto the left half of its travel. I figured that was either an easy or very complicated fix. I turned the machine upside down on my lap, and after studying things for awhile, realised there was a thing that looked like a little hook just hanging out by itself near where the needle support was. Needle nose pliers pushed it unto the needle support where it looked like it ought to go, and hey presto! Everything worked! So if Id done a review at that point, Id have given 4 stars. Either it wasn't packaged sturdily enough to prevent the little arm from being shaken off in shipping, or it wasn't assembled or tested right. Dont know which, but the problem shouldnt have occurred. So I was very happy with the machine after that, until I finished a quilt top and went to quilt it with the walking foot. Thats when I discovered a major problem. You cannot use the quilting bar with the walking foot! That is a serious bug. There are other feet that will take the guilting bar, but the walking foot will not. Since the walking foot is recommended for quilting, how are you supposed to maintain an even distance from row to row? I called Singer Customer Care, and they got right back to me. They confirmed that there is no way to use the quilting bar with the walking foot, and there is no other machine with a walking foot to fit the 9960 which has that feature. I have also been unable to find one in the aftermarket. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. If Id known that up front, I would never have bought this machine. Quilter beware. One final problem I have not yet been able to diagnose. It may be user error (me), or it may be some problem with the machine. If you let the bobbin winder fill a bobbin as directed in the instruction manual, you cannot remove the bobbin from the spindle. I have destroyed two bobbins trying to pry them off the spindle. I don't think there is any kind of release lever, but I haven't checked with Customer Care yet. Im sufficiently aggravated by this problem, I think I will just get a separate bobbin winder and not bother with Customer Care. I didn't ding the review another star for this problem, because Im not sure if its my problem or theirs. There was some question initially whether the machine used 15 or 15J bobbins. Various tutorials on the machine from Singer actually give contradictory information. The final word from Customer Care was use 15, not 15J. But now Im wondering if that was wrong. Sorry this runs on so long. On the whole its a great machine. Clothes and simple stuff are a breeze. But it was advertised as a machine for quilting, and I would say it falls short there.	3
Not what I thought it was so I was unable to use it. The only issue I have with the way it is described is "#24PLY" doesn't give me a good idea of the actual diameter of the wick material. As wicks go it's probably ok but it's too small to fit in my holder.	3
Very happy with this folder. It enbosses nicely. Spellbinders is always good quality. It arrived very quickly. Was a very good price.	5
Cute cute. This was my second one to make an I can hardly wait to finish it so I can start another one.	5
love the dies. They cut very nice and easy.worth buying.	5
So many beads!!	5
I love these embossing markers, but most were dried up when delivered.	3
Great product! good service and very satifsyed with Steam a Seam!	5
Exactly as described. The problem is it's not as functional as I was hoping which is kind of my fault.	3
Bought this hoping I'd be able to cut felt. They're cute though. Just not sharp enough for materials other than paper, I guess.	3
I am very happy to find ribbon in this quantity. I use ribbon trim on all of the dolls I crochet and am forever running out of one color or another. I find the size and length I need plus a nice variety of colors. It is of good quality also.	5
Pleased wih the price.	5
scrap book project , love it	5
Fast shipping. Item exactly as described.	5
oh my I have never use a needle threader and it feels great	5
I love this tape! I have ordered it at least 3 times. The value is excellent, the quality is high and it is easy to use. I have used it on a multitude of projects including scrap book pages, albums, misc. crafts as well as some house hold repairs. I have shopped around at some of the crafts stores and on line and have not been able to find a price that compares.	5
This is the first time I chose to purchase bamboo hooks. I always used Susan Bates aluminum. These hooks are great to use and easy on the fingers, especially the H-K. They are smooth, and because I suffer with arthritis, they don't seem to bother my wrist at all. Love them.	5
Great quality and simple design, definitely a must have and so worth it! Love the fact that it comes easily apart for easier storage.	5
Oh my! The Loom that started it all! Haha I never loomed, never knitted before and I bought this and knit like crazy! So many YouTube videos out there to help! Look up Round Loom knitting. I make charity hats now! I made a baby cap for my upcoming 4th grandbaby! Its easy-peasy and fun! It helps keep the place. Men or women or kids can do this. You can round Loom even blankets, cloths, socks, sky is the limit. This set is very sturdy! Very thick! I really love that! Great price!	5
I saw this on face book when I was watching something being made and the gal online said to use this to make your stuff shinny and hard so far it's shinny I'm still working with it	5
This product had all the accessories I needed for my weaving and knitting projects and yes I would and have told my friends to buy!	5
Very light paper cutter. I like that it is portable. But I prefer my heavy duty swingline paper cutter over this one.	3
Best transfer paper I've used!! This is my 3rd or 4th different transfer paper and it's my favorite. I've even used this same brand that's not clear, but I still prefer this transfer paper. It has the perfect amount of sticky to pull vinyl off its backing and let the vinyl go on wood, glass, etc. It's a joy to use and applies so smoothly. Can't recommend it enough! Get this transfer paper and save yourself some headache from trying other brands! Update: Still a great transfer paper, but I can buy a similar product on Amazon for 30' that is the same price as this and works just as well!! I will now be buying that product over this one simply because of cost concerns.	4
What the other reviewers said ~ "tiny works of art". I am not sure how I am going to use them yet, but I am having fun thinking up designs. My color selection was very diverse. Too bad the color aqua isn't i the mix. Have fun with these.	5
Finally a way to cut accurate circles in fabric! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it but well worth the effort. Now I can get perfect circles for crafting, sewing & quilting without any cursing. Nice that it takes standard blades.	4
Great tool for a beginner. Stitch groover, 3 bevlers and a creaser Pros: Solid tool 5 in 1 Stitch groover can be used as a free hand groover Cons: Bezzel is loose, can be fixed with glue Slower due to having to stop and swap bits when doing a project. Due to grooving blade being on handle instead of the handle being the guide, it gets in the way not allowing you to make close grooves. IE I want to make a groove on a sheath 1/8" away from the raised part, the guides"tail" hits the project and doesn't allow you to do this With all that said. I have since bought a dedicated groover where the handle is the guide. But this will always be a ataple for work as you need a free hand groover as well. Plus you get the other uses. No regrets with this tool, get this one and pair it with a dedicated stitch groover.	4
It provided just the gold that I needed to give the finishing touches to my pots! I get all my china paints from you!	5
I teach a beginners quilting class and this foot is a hit with every one of my students.	5
I was working on a project that required a 4 1/2 inch square ruler and went looking for an Omnigrip. Couldn't find right size, but at third fabric store, an associate found a Creative Grids ruler the right size. I wasn't impressed, but I was so tired and frustrated by then, I figured what-the-heck, at least it was the right size and they'd honor my coupon from a different store. So I went home and removed the shrink wrap, and as soon as I felt it, it had my full attention. Wow! This wasn't going to be slipping when I was squaring up those 360 half-square triangles! You could feel the way it would grip the fabric. And as I began using it, I found it very easy to see what I was doing. The more I used it, the more I liked it. So I decided to start replacing old rulers with Creative Grids as I could afford it. The 4" x 14" ruler, which I use more than any other ruler, is the first replacement. I was almost grateful to be showing a new quilter how to use my old ruler and realize that the colored lines had actually worn off for almost an inch at each end without my noticing, thus justifying its replacement. If you check out Creative Grids rulers through Amazon, you'll be amazed at how many there are and what a huge variety of uses they were designed for.	5
really nice with my crochet project. I am using them reversable also...	5
always wanted one. works great for old journals. getting harder to find refills.	5
This is a very high quality watercolor block indeed - I am just starting out with watercolor painting and I didn't know if this was worth the cost. It certainly makes the artist take him/herself more seriously, I don't know, high quality and excellence just has a way of being contagious. Excellent product!	5
Product as described and served my purpose.	5
Perfect for my Brother machine	5
I love these easels. They are perfect for my class and held the projects very well. They are also very easy to assemble. The delivery time was outstanding!	5
Easy to thread even with worsted and chunky yarns. I even use them for finishing socks with the Kitchener Stitch. They are very smooth and slim enough glide through yarn without sticking like plastic needles often do, plus the eye is much larger.	4
I love these little containers and have used them for years for small findings. They stack neatly in my craft drawers	5
This product works great for detail items on your projects It is also very easy to travel with. I really love my sticky dots	5
ok for what I needed	3
Very small area to stamp just buy the regular stamp pad by memento.	2
I paint every day. I sell a lot of paintings. This is an EXCELLENT brush! I own one of every size in the Creative Mark "round" series... absolutely no complaints... ALL solid performe	5
I great brush for very fine detail. It is a real Raphael Kolinsky Sable and a fantastic price for one! This is an outstanding, professional brush.	5
My original review was for the lapis lazuli, 8mm. After having these beads for awhile, I'm not so sure they are natural. And I've since ordered the Cherry Quartz beads which I've now found out ARE NOT genuine stones. They are man-made. "Cherry quartz is a man-made gemstone created from hardened glass in which colored inclusions are made during the formation process." So AMAZON and this retailer need to update their website. I have stopped buying as many beads through Amazon because they aren't good at checking the quality/genuineness of their products.	2
I was thrilled the first time I used this, it made a beautiful presentation with the rings on my minialbum, and was easy to use with the enclosed directions. I have not had a chance to play with it like I would like, but soon----	4
These are great and the price you can not beat. I will buy the three pack again. There is just a nice shine they give, does not weigh down what you have done. Love Them. Thanks.	5
After using one of the pen blades on a project, I found it to be excellent to use. I'm more used to a more substantial body of the knife to hold, but the blade cuts super and it is comfortable to hold. The blades are small so it's not really a utility knife I believe...it definitely is more of a 'arts' crafting knife. They work excellently making 'fine cuts' so that's very helpful. I would recommend these to my fellow crafters.	4
I was about to buy these through Amazon when I read the poor reviews. Sakura usually makes a good reliable product that performs well. So I called a local art store and asked about them. The manager told me that they were discontinuing them due to poor sales but had one set in stock. He told me that I could try them before I bought them. Today I went there and tried them. The 1 mm was fine but needed some priming to start with. The same with the 3mm. But the 2 mm was dry as a bone. I believe this is because Sakura sells them in a vertical blister package and not horizontally, as all such pens should be stored. Hence a dry ink supply that you can't reconstitute and and a clogged point because the dry ink seals the tip. Some of you may know more about such things, but I think this a plausible reason.	2
I was so happy to receive them, everyone like them. Thank u.	5
These match everything you make! The varied, muted tones make an exceptionally useful bead.	5
Great die and stamp!	5
Spectacular beads both in terms of color and the cutting especially in such a small bead. I'm very pleased!	5
These smudge with alcohol markers. I would rate lower but I've adapted and now do my like work after. Here's a pic where I smudged it on accident with the alcohol markers but ended up just changing my piece to make it look like a crazy bride lol. Its all about adapting as an artist. Just be aware before you ruin an important piece	3
Beautiful colors! They were pastels as seen on the picture. Nice size cups for my indoor craft projects. Useful chart on the back to identify the colors. All the cups were full, and fresh. Terrific value! I will be buying these again.	5
LOVE LOVE LOVE. The price was fair and they arrived intact 7 days after I had placed the order. I love the different designs and sizes. I definitely plan to order these again!! YAY!	5
Not the quality I expected, first box is going back to Amazon for a replacement. The stencil cutting knife is garbage, the blade sits very loose and wobbles sideways, I can also pull it out easily w/o loosening the ring that is supposed to hold it in. The swivel knife is also worse than an other version I bought many years ago. Blade its very loose, the hole in the tip being a bit too wide but the blade doesn't turn as freely as my old version. I'm hoping I just got a lemon with manufacturing defects, but my impression is that these are no longer manufactured to the quality standards I'm used to with x-acto. The box in nice, which is reflected in the third star of my rating. The knives themselves would get only two at best. Hopefully the replacement will be better or this all goes back.	3
The scissors are sharp! My complaint is: I wish the finger openings were larger!	3
This work very well, good for projects	5
I specifically looked for an ArtBin container this time because I was so pleased with my previous purchase but I needed a bigger container. I love the double side of it because you can have two levels but easily keep them separated with the snap lid separator. The quality as I expected is excellent. I still use my old smaller container and have had it at least 15 years. I bought this in particular to hold all of my zentangle and pens art pencils erasers etc	5
I LOVE this foot and use it in steady rotation for garment sewing. I use it mostly for top stitching, stitching in the ditch, and to sew darts - I find the foot down the middle can really follow the tracing much better than a standard all-purpose foot. I can adjust the needle position on my Brother PC-420 both ways so I can use this multiple ways. Really glad I bought this - great value & fast shipping from Amazon.	5
Glue leaks everywhere, save up for a good one. I wish I had not purchased this or read the comments saying it was worth the money.	1
Just as pictured, nice colors.	4
Great sharp scissors.......I keep one pair in the kitchen, another with the office and the third with gift wrap. You can't go wrong with these. One pair is not enough!	5
Love these small d-rings. They add a nice touch to any project.	5
I make & sell beaded & knotted accessories, but also have sensitive joints. I needed something to help with the knotting, so I could actually use my hands the next day. I found this crazy thing here, looked at many youtube videos on it & then gave it a try. I found it decently easy to use, after a bit of practice, & gets kind of addictive! The youtube videos make it look more complicated than it is. I find I use it for the reason I bought it, when my hands are fussy & sensitive. A few design issues: it's mostly hollow plastic & very lightweight, so it scoots around & tips over easily when in use (something I don't want to wrestle with in the middle of a beading/knotting project). The plastic hooked tab over the needle area seems like it could break somewhat easily, if tension were pulled on it wrong. The rounded "arm" across the top can get in the way. The hollow, hard plastic base clatters loudly (I'm sensitive to sharp sounds) when beads bum into it & could possibly scratch or chip some beads. I plan to add some weight to the underside (could easily fill it with plaster of paris), plus a grippy rubber base, to help keep it in one place, when it's being used. I glued a piece of soft fleece fabric to the top surface of the base, so beads don't clack, scratch or chip when they drop through. I use it, placed on a tilted topped drafting table, so it's tilted forward a bit, allowing the beads to slide forward, so I don't have to kinda reach inside or tip it forward to get to the knotted strand. For the price, it seems fine, after a bit of retrofitting. I think it could be fine tuned in some design & function areas, but it does help spare my fingers on sensitive hand days.	4
The brushes are really nice. I just wish I was more talented.	5

Sorry this runs on so long. On the whole its a great machine. Clothes and simple stuff are a breeze. But it was advertised as a machine for quilting, and I would say it falls short there.

Not what I thought it was so I was unable to use it. The only issue I have with the way it is described is "#24PLY" doesn't give me a good idea of the actual diameter of the wick material. As wicks go it's probably ok but it's too small to fit in my holder.

Very happy with this folder. It enbosses nicely. Spellbinders is always good quality. It arrived very quickly. Was a very good price.

5

Cute cute. This was my second one to make an I can hardly wait to finish it so I can start another one.

5

love the dies. They cut very nice and easy.worth buying.

5

So many beads!!

5

I love these embossing markers, but most were dried up when delivered.

3

Great product! good service and very satifsyed with Steam a Seam!

5

Exactly as described. The problem is it's not as functional as I was hoping which is kind of my fault.

3

Bought this hoping I'd be able to cut felt. They're cute though. Just not sharp enough for materials other than paper, I guess.

3

I am very happy to find ribbon in this quantity. I use ribbon trim on all of the dolls I crochet and am forever running out of one color or another. I find the size and length I need plus a nice variety of colors. It is of good quality also.

5

Pleased wih the price.

5

scrap book project , love it

5

Fast shipping. Item exactly as described.

5

oh my I have never use a needle threader and it feels great

5

I love this tape! I have ordered it at least 3 times. The value is excellent, the quality is high and it is easy to use. I have used it on a multitude of projects including scrap book pages, albums, misc. crafts as well as some house hold repairs. I have shopped around at some of the crafts stores and on line and have not been able to find a price that compares.

5

This is the first time I chose to purchase bamboo hooks. I always used Susan Bates aluminum. These hooks are great to use and easy on the fingers, especially the H-K. They are smooth, and because I suffer with arthritis, they don't seem to bother my wrist at all. Love them.

5

Great quality and simple design, definitely a must have and so worth it! Love the fact that it comes easily apart for easier storage.

5

Oh my! The Loom that started it all! Haha I never loomed, never knitted before and I bought this and knit like crazy! So many YouTube videos out there to help! Look up Round Loom knitting. I make charity hats now! I made a baby cap for my upcoming 4th grandbaby! Its easy-peasy and fun! It helps keep the place. Men or women or kids can do this. You can round Loom even blankets, cloths, socks, sky is the limit. This set is very sturdy! Very thick! I really love that! Great price!

5

I saw this on face book when I was watching something being made and the gal online said to use this to make your stuff shinny and hard so far it's shinny I'm still working with it

5

This product had all the accessories I needed for my weaving and knitting projects and yes I would and have told my friends to buy!

5

Very light paper cutter. I like that it is portable. But I prefer my heavy duty swingline paper cutter over this one.

3

Best transfer paper I've used!! This is my 3rd or 4th different transfer paper and it's my favorite. I've even used this same brand that's not clear, but I still prefer this transfer paper. It has the perfect amount of sticky to pull vinyl off its backing and let the vinyl go on wood, glass, etc. It's a joy to use and applies so smoothly. Can't recommend it enough! Get this transfer paper and save yourself some headache from trying other brands! Update: Still a great transfer paper, but I can buy a similar product on Amazon for 30' that is the same price as this and works just as well!! I will now be buying that product over this one simply because of cost concerns.

4

What the other reviewers said ~ "tiny works of art". I am not sure how I am going to use them yet, but I am having fun thinking up designs. My color selection was very diverse. Too bad the color aqua isn't i the mix. Have fun with these.

5

Finally a way to cut accurate circles in fabric! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it but well worth the effort. Now I can get perfect circles for crafting, sewing & quilting without any cursing. Nice that it takes standard blades.

Great tool for a beginner. Stitch groover, 3 bevlers and a creaser Pros: Solid tool 5 in 1 Stitch groover can be used as a free hand groover Cons: Bezzel is loose, can be fixed with glue Slower due to having to stop and swap bits when doing a project. Due to grooving blade being on handle instead of the handle being the guide, it gets in the way not allowing you to make close grooves. IE I want to make a groove on a sheath 1/8" away from the raised part, the guides"tail" hits the project and doesn't allow you to do this With all that said. I have since bought a dedicated groover where the handle is the guide. But this will always be a ataple for work as you need a free hand groover as well. Plus you get the other uses. No regrets with this tool, get this one and pair it with a dedicated stitch groover.

4

It provided just the gold that I needed to give the finishing touches to my pots! I get all my china paints from you!

5

I teach a beginners quilting class and this foot is a hit with every one of my students.

I was working on a project that required a 4 1/2 inch square ruler and went looking for an Omnigrip. Couldn't find right size, but at third fabric store, an associate found a Creative Grids ruler the right size. I wasn't impressed, but I was so tired and frustrated by then, I figured what-the-heck, at least it was the right size and they'd honor my coupon from a different store. So I went home and removed the shrink wrap, and as soon as I felt it, it had my full attention. Wow! This wasn't going to be slipping when I was squaring up those 360 half-square triangles! You could feel the way it would grip the fabric. And as I began using it, I found it very easy to see what I was doing. The more I used it, the more I liked it. So I decided to start replacing old rulers with Creative Grids as I could afford it. The 4" x 14" ruler, which I use more than any other ruler, is the first replacement. I was almost grateful to be showing a new quilter how to use my old ruler and realize that the colored lines had actually worn off for almost an inch at each end without my noticing, thus justifying its replacement. If you check out Creative Grids rulers through Amazon, you'll be amazed at how many there are and what a huge variety of uses they were designed for.

5

really nice with my crochet project. I am using them reversable also...

5

always wanted one. works great for old journals. getting harder to find refills.

5

This is a very high quality watercolor block indeed - I am just starting out with watercolor painting and I didn't know if this was worth the cost. It certainly makes the artist take him/herself more seriously, I don't know, high quality and excellence just has a way of being contagious. Excellent product!

5

Product as described and served my purpose.

5

Perfect for my Brother machine

5

I love these easels. They are perfect for my class and held the projects very well. They are also very easy to assemble. The delivery time was outstanding!

5

Easy to thread even with worsted and chunky yarns. I even use them for finishing socks with the Kitchener Stitch. They are very smooth and slim enough glide through yarn without sticking like plastic needles often do, plus the eye is much larger.

4

I love these little containers and have used them for years for small findings. They stack neatly in my craft drawers

5

This product works great for detail items on your projects It is also very easy to travel with. I really love my sticky dots

5

ok for what I needed

3

Very small area to stamp just buy the regular stamp pad by memento.

2

I paint every day. I sell a lot of paintings. This is an EXCELLENT brush! I own one of every size in the Creative Mark "round" series... absolutely no complaints... ALL solid performe

5

I great brush for very fine detail. It is a real Raphael Kolinsky Sable and a fantastic price for one! This is an outstanding, professional brush.

My original review was for the lapis lazuli, 8mm. After having these beads for awhile, I'm not so sure they are natural. And I've since ordered the Cherry Quartz beads which I've now found out ARE NOT genuine stones. They are man-made. "Cherry quartz is a man-made gemstone created from hardened glass in which colored inclusions are made during the formation process." So AMAZON and this retailer need to update their website. I have stopped buying as many beads through Amazon because they aren't good at checking the quality/genuineness of their products.

2

I was thrilled the first time I used this, it made a beautiful presentation with the rings on my minialbum, and was easy to use with the enclosed directions. I have not had a chance to play with it like I would like, but soon----

4

These are great and the price you can not beat. I will buy the three pack again. There is just a nice shine they give, does not weigh down what you have done. Love Them. Thanks.

5

After using one of the pen blades on a project, I found it to be excellent to use. I'm more used to a more substantial body of the knife to hold, but the blade cuts super and it is comfortable to hold. The blades are small so it's not really a utility knife I believe...it definitely is more of a 'arts' crafting knife. They work excellently making 'fine cuts' so that's very helpful. I would recommend these to my fellow crafters.

I was about to buy these through Amazon when I read the poor reviews. Sakura usually makes a good reliable product that performs well. So I called a local art store and asked about them. The manager told me that they were discontinuing them due to poor sales but had one set in stock. He told me that I could try them before I bought them. Today I went there and tried them. The 1 mm was fine but needed some priming to start with. The same with the 3mm. But the 2 mm was dry as a bone. I believe this is because Sakura sells them in a vertical blister package and not horizontally, as all such pens should be stored. Hence a dry ink supply that you can't reconstitute and and a clogged point because the dry ink seals the tip. Some of you may know more about such things, but I think this a plausible reason.

2

I was so happy to receive them, everyone like them. Thank u.

5

These match everything you make! The varied, muted tones make an exceptionally useful bead.

5

Great die and stamp!

5

Spectacular beads both in terms of color and the cutting especially in such a small bead. I'm very pleased!

5

These smudge with alcohol markers. I would rate lower but I've adapted and now do my like work after. Here's a pic where I smudged it on accident with the alcohol markers but ended up just changing my piece to make it look like a crazy bride lol. Its all about adapting as an artist. Just be aware before you ruin an important piece

3

Beautiful colors! They were pastels as seen on the picture. Nice size cups for my indoor craft projects. Useful chart on the back to identify the colors. All the cups were full, and fresh. Terrific value! I will be buying these again.

5

LOVE LOVE LOVE. The price was fair and they arrived intact 7 days after I had placed the order. I love the different designs and sizes. I definitely plan to order these again!! YAY!

5

Not the quality I expected, first box is going back to Amazon for a replacement. The stencil cutting knife is garbage, the blade sits very loose and wobbles sideways, I can also pull it out easily w/o loosening the ring that is supposed to hold it in. The swivel knife is also worse than an other version I bought many years ago. Blade its very loose, the hole in the tip being a bit too wide but the blade doesn't turn as freely as my old version. I'm hoping I just got a lemon with manufacturing defects, but my impression is that these are no longer manufactured to the quality standards I'm used to with x-acto. The box in nice, which is reflected in the third star of my rating. The knives themselves would get only two at best. Hopefully the replacement will be better or this all goes back.

3

The scissors are sharp! My complaint is: I wish the finger openings were larger!

3

This work very well, good for projects

5

I specifically looked for an ArtBin container this time because I was so pleased with my previous purchase but I needed a bigger container. I love the double side of it because you can have two levels but easily keep them separated with the snap lid separator. The quality as I expected is excellent. I still use my old smaller container and have had it at least 15 years. I bought this in particular to hold all of my zentangle and pens art pencils erasers etc

5

I LOVE this foot and use it in steady rotation for garment sewing. I use it mostly for top stitching, stitching in the ditch, and to sew darts - I find the foot down the middle can really follow the tracing much better than a standard all-purpose foot. I can adjust the needle position on my Brother PC-420 both ways so I can use this multiple ways. Really glad I bought this - great value & fast shipping from Amazon.

5

Glue leaks everywhere, save up for a good one. I wish I had not purchased this or read the comments saying it was worth the money.

1

Just as pictured, nice colors.

4

Great sharp scissors.......I keep one pair in the kitchen, another with the office and the third with gift wrap. You can't go wrong with these. One pair is not enough!

5

Love these small d-rings. They add a nice touch to any project.

I make & sell beaded & knotted accessories, but also have sensitive joints. I needed something to help with the knotting, so I could actually use my hands the next day. I found this crazy thing here, looked at many youtube videos on it & then gave it a try. I found it decently easy to use, after a bit of practice, & gets kind of addictive! The youtube videos make it look more complicated than it is. I find I use it for the reason I bought it, when my hands are fussy & sensitive. A few design issues: it's mostly hollow plastic & very lightweight, so it scoots around & tips over easily when in use (something I don't want to wrestle with in the middle of a beading/knotting project). The plastic hooked tab over the needle area seems like it could break somewhat easily, if tension were pulled on it wrong. The rounded "arm" across the top can get in the way. The hollow, hard plastic base clatters loudly (I'm sensitive to sharp sounds) when beads bum into it & could possibly scratch or chip some beads. I plan to add some weight to the underside (could easily fill it with plaster of paris), plus a grippy rubber base, to help keep it in one place, when it's being used. I glued a piece of soft fleece fabric to the top surface of the base, so beads don't clack, scratch or chip when they drop through. I use it, placed on a tilted topped drafting table, so it's tilted forward a bit, allowing the beads to slide forward, so I don't have to kinda reach inside or tip it forward to get to the knotted strand. For the price, it seems fine, after a bit of retrofitting. I think it could be fine tuned in some design & function areas, but it does help spare my fingers on sensitive hand days.

The brushes are really nice. I just wish I was more talented.

Nice attachment
