I used this and mixed it with Glidden paint to make fabric paint. I then painted a sofa with it using a 2:1 ratio. Since I had also ordered Martha Stewart's version of this, I was able to compare the two. While the Folk Art works, it doesn't go on as smoothly as the MS Fabric Medium. This was my first time to use it for a project this big. It was a little bit spotty while applying, I had to go back over to get good coverage. Please keep in mind that I used this on a cotton upholstery fabric and not on clothing.

Fast delivery well packaged.
Like the matte appearance after drying--helps hide mistakes

I love my bag! I'm able to move my work from place to place effortlessly. All my friends are jelly!

I found the setup very difficult, and this glider was not easy to use. I did not like it and returned the product. The tape kept getting stuck or would not do a neat, whole strip, instead it would sometimes run neatly, but most of the time was missing half the rest of the tape.

I love this little tool. Works wonderfully

Nice design, good quality, and I love the rounded corner instead of the sharp angled corners of the other corner punches.

This is the second of these I have purchased. The first I used to hold my staedtler and stabilo fineliners. This one I ordered to hold my 72 pc set of Marco Raffine pencils. It holds them all perfectly and closes up nicely. The pens fit in this case too, but are a tight fit at first. After a few uses the elastics loosened up a bit and now the pens slide right in and out. I am thinking about buying a 3rd to hold gel pens.

A bit chalky looking but still worked in beautifully with the design

It's a good hoop ,but the oval shape is hard to work with

It's a great item, but I keep losing them, so now I have a million blades but no scalpel to rip seams with. I'll be buying my third one soon.

perfect for little hands - well for all hands. I bought this for hand made cards for Christmas and it worked well and it lasts a long time. I love to doodle so this is a fun stencil.

nail scissors work better

Love the extended reach of this tool and the neat, tiny holes that it makes. It feels good in the hand and is very easy to use. Just what I was looking for!

I like the stabilizer but I will say that when working with the tear away types you may find that with light weight fabrics it's not ideal. The stitches can loop on the bottom of the piece because it's better to use a medium cut away for denser stitch designs. For a light stitch design it works fine. If you are new to machine embroidery and you get familiar with your designs and your fabrics it's better to stick with a cut away.

Great invention. Better than using separate pins.

These pliers make using crimp beads and tubes easy. I have tried several kinds of crimping pliers and these are, by far, the easiest to use.

these are amazing!

The kids had a great time. Dragged them all over Chicago on a family trip. They made jewelry for everyone.

Perfect for pressing seams when sewing.

I like that I can place 33 colors in my palette especially for traveling. It has an airtight seal which is great. The mixing tray is white and falls out when I open my palette but its not the end of the world. But if it stayed put I would have given it 5 stars. The wells are small but have good depth to them so I can get quite a bit of paint in them. All in all I'm happy with the product.

Beautiful clean wool! Ordered the black as a test run....have now ordered several more colors!

This is a great weight of watercolor paper and colors well without pilling.

Looks like any regular glitter paper but does not shed any glitter and so not messy at all

Just absolutely in love with the colors.

This set was supposed to be a birthday gift from my husband. They were late. Due 5/1/17, received today 5/4/17, damaged or returned maybe both. He bought me what was supposed to be brand new, unopened and for $55 you would think you would get what you paid for. So disappointed. The templates were removed, the plastic bag had been opened and so you know they were used, damaged and/or returned.
I still want the hoops, guess I will have to get them from someone else.

Haven't been able to try these yet but they look like they will be wonderful for creating flowers!

Looked like many different snowflakes but is one big stamp. Difficult to use because of the size. Might have to cut all the pieces with an exacto

Powerful sewing machine.bought it from onsale.

These threads are a little bit fussier with my machine then other threadnanny threads I've used. I do have some shredding issues and have to watch them closer then most. This seems to be true of most metallic threads though. I use a pr-600 and the issues haven't been enough to make me quit using them.

As described and what I expected. I like the matte finish and it was a good price.

Always fun to have glow in the dark beads, despite the fact that they are different colors they do not glow different colors if that matters to you.

Package arrived a day early in great condition. The product works as well as I expected. I have colored/painted one picture with them and I love the effect/look these water color pencils give.

Great quality, will be using it for my pen palling letters :)

I would have given it a 5 star but that means I love it...lol. I love my husband not things...haha. No seriously its very good. I have so far no real complaints. I had read the reviews before I purchased it, as I always do. So thankful for those who take the time. I knew certain things about it. The problem of the cord to the computer not being long enough was not an issue for me. I sit at my desk doing illustrations so it was fine. My hard drive is under my desk by my legs. The light is great. Nice and bright. Yes it does click off easily if you are not paying attention you somehow brush over the on off flat switch. No biggie. I had a previous light box from another company that I sent back. It was so weak. This one is good. Iike the bag. When I'm done I put it in the bag and hang it on my peg board nearby. For those who travel that's nice as well. I don't get the piece of tracing paper included thou...lol. Isn't that the whole point of having a light box not to have to use tracing paper for the most part. I only use tracing paper for my watercolor blocks. They are too thick to use with the lightbox. But it's really nice. I'm happy with it.

I love these needles, often hard to find in this size.

I love the variety of colors! Like knowing what color you are trying to fine because they are marks on each pencil. The pencils are so smooth when coloring! The colors are beautiful on your pictures. Because they have the same color going light to dark or dak to light,it makes it easy to add deminsion to what you are coloring! I will buy them again!

These are great shapes and great sizes for earrings and other pieces. I would reccomind this to clay jewelry makers.

for the ghillie, tough fabric

these cutting pads are not as thick as the original. I have to use a shim or multiple shims before my dies cut through my cardstock.

This is also a great presser foot for decorating fabrics. The ribbons slide smoothly through the groove. Just one thing it would be very useful to have one with a wider adjustable groove for wider ribbons

Will make it easier for machine quilting....good fit....fast delivery

These have just the right tips on them and are easy to use with some of my paracording projects, but not a sharp point that might hurt me. Recommend them for anyone doing paracording.

This is an incredibly affordable sketchbook. This is something I would buy over and over again for my daughter. She's 11 and doesn't spend as much time on each sketch so she goes through sketchbooks rather quickly. This is an affordable option for her. I can support her hobby while not going broke.
I too like to draw though so I reviewed this and kept it for myself. I'm very heavy handed when I draw. The sketchbook I've been using is 98 lb mixed media paper. It's the Canson XL. With a coupon I can normally get this one locally for about $8. What I like about it is that when I sketch in the book (not removing the paper) I don't leave impressions marks on the pages behind it.
Being heavy handed I normally can't use most sketchbooks. I like to keep my sketches in the book so I don't typically remove the paper to sketch. With US Art Supply's sketchbook I have to remove the paper. I'm so heavy handed that I left impressions on two pages behind the page I was working on.
I also had a hard time using my gum eraser with this sketchbook. Instead of erasing it smeared. I don't normally have this problem with my gum eraser so I believe it's the paper. Since I'm going to be doing a lot of shading I just left it as is. (In my photo under the chin of the cat is where it smeared instead of erased.)
The paper feels very soft. It almost reminds me of the homemade recycled paper we made when I was a kid. It's not flimsy or anything it just has a softer texture. It is thick enough for mixed media applications which is a major win for me. I never stick to the same media so having a versatile sketchbook is a must.
I really enjoy the size of this paper. It's slightly larger than what I was using and allows me to make larger sketches. Overall I like this sketchbook. It's an affordable mid range quality sketchbook. If you aren't heavy handed like me you can draw in the sketchbook. If you are heavy handed you will need to remove the paper. I will work with other erasers as I finish this sketch and update my review if I find a solution to the before mentioned eraser problem.
In the attached photos I used Prismacolor sketching pencils and a charcoal pencil. (It's not completed yet I will update it with the mixed media picture later)
PROS:
Very affordable
Larger Size
Mixed Media capable
CONS:
Heavy handed artists will need to remove the paper to sketch (Or leave impressions on the pages behind)
Ratings (Out of five stars):
Paper Size: *5*
Paper Thickness: *4*
Paper Quality: *4*
Mixed Media Capability: *5*
Value: *5*
Overall rating: 23 out of 25 stars / 4.6 Star Average
I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any questions about my experience please leave me a comment. I will be happy to follow up on my experience with this product.
I received this product complimentary from US Art Supply for quality testing purposes; all opinions expressed are my own.
8/31/15 I posted an updated photo of my completed sketch. I used acrylic paint, gel ink pen, pencil, charcoal pencil, liquid chalk markers and color pencils. This paper held up with the mediums I used.

I have many templates that are extremely slippery and hard too hold on to so this was the ticket to fix that.

Great color. Have fun beading!

This is great! The lock makes all the difference and it can be worn around the neck. I take my crochet projects to work everyday and never have to worry about the counter being off. Highly recommend.

the beads came quickly, well packaged, and were a good purchase. the only reason i gave them 4 stars is because the written description wasn't clear so i was expecting sparkly beads and the ones i got were not. they looked like pearls instead. nice purchase besides that

This is definitely worth the money. Yes the sides are not strong and it is not as big as I expected but it does fit quite a bit of yarn. What's nice is the carrying case on the side for all your hooks and the front pocket for scissors and such. You really won't be disappointed!

punches cards (business card size) consistently and in the same place each time. Love it.

Very nice sturdy chain, but you need a good side cutter toll to clip it. Stainless steel is a good metal that would not tarnish.

I really like this kit. I completed one and am about to start on my second. I had two colors of sequins that I did not have enough of and had to buy extras. The kit also didn't come with a needle. You will need an appliqu needle and an embroidery needle. You will also need some fiber fill to stuff some of the pieces. I started off using the embroidery floss that comes with the kit for the appliqu but decided the strand was a little thick for my preference so I switched to regular spool sewing thread and liked it better. All total I'd say it took me about 65 hours to complete. The amount of time it takes will depend on your appliqu and beading speed.
Just a hint for ease of sewing....invest in a package of appliqu needles and a package of embroidery needles. You can keep a needle threaded with each color. You switch colors back and forth very frequently and having threaded needles will save you time but more importantly will save thread.
I did modify the pattern some. The pockets are not really pockets. They are just slits and the felt ornaments just slip down below the edge and the fabrics adhere to each other. I wanted actual pockets to put prizes and treats into. I used one felt piece, the standard size from a craft store, and whipped each row of pockets to it. I then proceeded with their instructions. Now I have 24 actual pockets to hold those tiny gifts for my grandkids.

I fell in love with the soft touch crochet hook after I purchased one of them to complete a project. Finding this set on Amazon at this price was such a steal! Absolutely love them and the case provided is an added bonus. Super convenient and easy enough to take anywhere.

I actually have a question. I love this tape and dispenser. But...why would you buy to refills and pay more that it cost to buy 4 dispensers, or am I missing something?!!
| 5
|
I really like the precut stabilizer. If I am doing a smaller project with a smaller embroidery hoop just cut in half and goes even further. Tear away is perfect. I have also used this as a float for lighter embroidery items, work great.

I've been using this brand of wool for wet felting.very good quality but a little pricey for the amount you recieve. Otherwise i love the color variety would live to see some mixed with the sparkly wool!

These cardstocks are fabulous. Very vintage. Exactly what I wanted and they are great for decoupage. I have purchased Tim Holtz products before and will continue. Very high quality

The ability to let your imagination run free and mix and match these dylusions stamps is awesome. So enjoying the creativity and mess!

I was in a very high end store recently and fell in love with a beautiful sweater with embroidered flowers down the front - until I saw the price $450...after my eyeballs popped back into my head I had an epiphany. I can totally dupe that sweater! I browsed Amazon and found this iron (golden flowers with leaves) on patch that looks very similar to the flowers embroidered on that over-priced sweater. I also purchased a $20 brown sweater during my search as well. I opted to sew the patch on versus iron mostly because I didn't want it to start to peel up over time and to give it a more lux look. So $27 later I have the most adorable sweater comparable to the $450 over priced sweater but at a huge fraction of the cost. The iron on is made well - no picked or missing stitches, the colors are vibrant, and it was easy to sew onto my sweater. I am so impressed with this product that I am going to be purchasing different design patterns from this company to embellish other sweaters. I have a sweater that I paid quite a lot for with a little pin hole - I was going to get rid of it but glad I hadn't brought myself to do it - I will definitely be purchasing an iron on patch to cover the hole and saving that sweater.

I just put all of my dies in this case tonight and was so happy that they all fit and I do not have to try to keep them in the packaging anymore. They are all in one place. I like to keep things in order so when I saw this case I had to have it. It is made of sturdy plastic and I like the way it latches and if you want to you can even put a lock on it. Art bin seems to know just how to make cases or boxes for things so that they are easy to deal with and use or take with you. When I have this one full I am sure I will buy another one. This one sure does hold a lot of dies.

This is a product that was recommended in an art class by a professional artist and I've been pleased with the results when I've used it. The drawing gum was packaged well and arrived in a timely manner. I would buy this again.

I use these to make sheets to store my metal dies. I think the tapes would probably work just as well, but it's good to have on hand.
| 5

Buy them here, buy them there - they are all the same and necessary for quilting. Buy them here cheaper and you can change your blade more often!

Handy for all little crafts

The price is ridiculous. I thought I was getting a good deal on a 14 oz size, which is my fault since it does say the size is 1.7 oz and I didn't notice that. It's nice yarn but for just a few dollars more, you can get 14 oz sizes in the same brand.

Excellent paper quality and so convenient to use. Perfect size to carry with me wherever I go and the paper is great for any medium you want to use. Love the spiral binder as it allows me to turn and hold my paper anywhere I want. Would definitely buy again

I like this product. But maybe my hands are not big enough, so it is not so easy to use for me.

A wonderful thing to help you place your die where you want it. It has grid lines with sizes on them for cards and envelopes, even showing what the names of the markings are such as 7A for an envelope. You won't make a misatke in you placement. I also have a few of their dies and just love them and especially the way they come with a magnetic storage case which has diagrams of the layout and measurements.

Love creating personalized cards with the distress ink markers!

I was a little disappointed with this, it remained sticky in spots. Possibly my fault. However, it turned out an amber color instead of clear, so I'm glad I wan't trying to make jewelry. The color did well for the resin coasters I made. I managed to get rid of the stickiness with a sealant after sanding, but it was messy for a while.

All the colors that you will need for all of Brother patterns of embroidery. I am loving Brother embroidery machine that I just purchased and these are perfect for all my needs.

I've used this in a few cards; it's the perfect size. I like the fact that I can decorate this window in so many different ways.

Nice and sorta sturdy book. I use this for my sketches and my pencil glides easily.
I really like the feel of the book, how it's like a bible and the sturdiness of the cover. But the pages tear so easily. Just right now I was sketching and I decided to erase the whole thing, with a block eraser, and the page just ripped from the bottom up, luckily on the other side was barely a sketch I didn't like. I don't think I'll buy another book, I'll just use the one I have for now. Next time I'll invest in a better sketchbook.

These pencils are nice. The colors offered are a nice range, but I do wish that there were more blues. I like the metal case and the double finger handle areas for ease of removing the plastic trays. I have not yet used them myself yet, but my mom did and she liked them. I'll get to them soon.

Has been very useful!

Love this machine!!!!! Buy the c plate if you buy this, and you will be able to use any other brand of die! Love love love this more than my old sizzix

I haven't used this die yet but I have lots of plans for it in the future. I make a lot of small quilt projects to give as gifts and this die will make the appliques a lot easier and precise.

I've bought a number of these sets from Chinese, Japanese some costing more for one punch than you pay for this entire set. Teeth broke off all of them. The Chinese and Japanese sellers replaced them and the replacements broke. It seems that there is a lot of drag when you tried to withdraw them from the leather. I bought these (3mm) thinking they were larger(4mm). Never used them. Just making a belt and decided to try them. They work beautifully, no broken teeth. Most of all we love the way they pull free from the leather. Far less effort than the others we've tried. I was hoping they also made 4mm size as we sure would love to try them. Unfortunately we don't see any others from this seller. We'll buy a second set and hope it's as good as the first just to have a good back-up on hand.
