I bought this machine a year or so ago, after having used numerous other inexpensive machines over the past 30 years: various models of Singer and Kenmore brands. This has been, by far, the worst experience I've had with a sewing machine.
I don't expect a lot from my machines. I mostly use the straight stitch, occasionally put in a few button-holes, and rarely use a zig-zag stitch; nothing more. This machine gave me trouble with any stitch I tried.
The needle is held off-center, pointed at the very edge of the throat in the presser-foot, as far from the foot's center-line as possible without actually banging into the foot. The slightest rightward stress on the fabric, in fact, does cause the needle to miss the throat and hit the presser-foot, which ruins the needle, interrupting the project while a new needle is inserted and threaded.
The machine runs as though its gears are rough-cast iron and lubricated with coarse sand.
The way the spool is held, atop the machine, is awkward and limiting. The spool is held in place by a cover-piece that fits badly on the spindle holding the spool, requiring a great deal of force to put it in place or to remove it, and it's nearly impossible to adjust its position. The spool is held parallel to the top of the machine and close to it, which makes it impossible to use large spools of thread.
My machine frequently jams the thread under the plate, and sometimes will not pick up the bobbin thread at the start of a seam.
I see that others have given this model high reviews, so maybe I just got a lemon. I certainly hope so, as I have long had a high regard for the Singer name. I may try another Singer machine in the future, but I'll certainly test it before spending any money on it.

I had the older version of the blending tool. This is much better for card making.

They work really well!! Yes I would recommend them to others.

Great! I put this on a vest and it stayed on very well.

This Heat Transfer Vinyl was very good. It cuts easily and weeds perfectly as long as your settings are correct. For the price, you can't beat this HTV. I will definitely purchase again!

These are the greatest thing ever invented for open thread spools. I bought a few at first now they are on all my open spoools. LOVE THEM.

This is a great yarn for hats

very nice selection of beads, great colors organized in nice little containers. would recommend to others. Handy to take with you for beading away from home

I received this the exact same day my new Brother machine arrived. I had heeded the advice of other reviewers and read the instructions in my machine's manual (didn't even look at the instructions that came with the foot). Easy peasy! If you've ever put a walking foot on your machine, you'll understand this with no problem. I also watched a quick youtube video.
I then tried it out with one layer that was already cut to size and another that I wanted to attach it to that wasn't yet cut to size/shape. Worked like a charm!! It perfectly cut through the one layer (cotton flannel), effortlessly and the overlock stitch perfectly caught the edge! I'm going to try it on cotton jersey this weekend. My recommendation going into that- for others who have had problems- would be to starch the edge of the jersey (like you would anyway to sew it). I don't anticipate any problems after pre-starching it.
GREAT little tool, particularly for folks for whom a serger is still on the Wish List!

So far, the pins are nice. I don't see a huge difference between these and my old pins. But I would buy this again just for the genius design of the tin! Press the top and the top loosens. Press the sides of the rim and it locks closed. Brilliant!
Update: After using these pins for a while I had to increase my rating from 4 stars to 5. I keep going back to these pins; they slide easily through fabric. And they just feel high-quality.

Very happy with the markers. Very easy to use, love the colors and ordered them on Saturday and received them on Monday with Prime. What a great way to go

This is the second attempt I've made at a U-nitt Metal jumbo yarn winder. The first was the MH702, which was jerky to wind, and mine came rusted. I sent it back and tried this one, which was only a few dollars more. This one definitely winds faster...when it works. It slips, sticks, freezes, and the unit I received was not only chipped and rusted where there was paint on the body of the unit, but the metal gears were all scratched up like it was a returned or used unit. Back it goes, and I'm at square one again.

Purchased as additional spools to go with my other set (same item, just larger set). I do a lot of embroidery and need to keep my thread stocked up. Arrived quickly. My only wish for these spools is that there was a way to keep the loos end from dangling when not in use! Other than that, I love this thread and the selection of colors.

Wedding coming up in Jan. Sure she will be impressed with the card.

These will be nice in my beading.

I would not necessarily reccommend these for a more serious or professional artist, but for kids or for regular use these pencils are fine. There are a lot of colors and the price is good. Royal & Langnickel generally has pretty good quality.

Spools have lots of thread and the price is just right!!!

Note: This post is on the product page for a row counter, the mini kacha-kacha. Someone commented that I should not leave this review on the page of a yarn cutter, and although I triple-checked that the page is for the counter, not a cutter, there are reviews for multiple Clover products, including various pom-pom makers, a cutter, and a counter. In front of each review, it says "This review is from:" followed by a product link. (Note that you only see this information if you click on "See all customer reviews.") Apparently, all product reviews for Clover products are just pooled now. Clover is a good brand, but that does not mean that all products are identical.
I used to live in Japan a long time ago, and it was a paradise when it came to craft supplies, where Clover was the #1 name. They had many wonderful items that are have been making their way across the sea in recent years, probably due to the exposure the web brought. This little counter is priceless, and I make a habit of locking it after every row change, which is easy and effortless. I got tired of pulling my row counter out of my bag only to find that I had suddenly increased my row count wildly, even when the counter was carefully protected. If you don't use the safety lock and drop it, you can hardly blame the counter, since the only way to prevent it from increasing the row count if you drop it on its head would be to sell them permanently locked, which would make it a rather useless item. The only alternative in my opinion is to write down your rows manually, and it is much more work to pick up a pencil and pad than to unlock, click, and relock, which can be done with one hand in only a few seconds. (I alm likely to spend much longer than that looking for my pencil and pad in the bottom of my bag.)
I am planning to turn it into a necklace when I have time to make a braid for it, because I like the fact that it hangs upside down, the way old-fashioned nurses' necklace watches used to be (which tells you how old I am). That means that if you wear it around your neck, you just have to tilt it up, not twist it around, to double-check your row count. If you have ever gritted your teeth and resorted to figuring out what row you are on yet again, you will love this. (Not all types of projects make this easy, especially certain types of crochet patterns, and that goes double for fancy-dyed yarns.)
I have gotten to the point I don't write reviews as often, since they are a lot of work to do properly and too many people pollute the process because they review the seller, not the product, but I am crazy about this little gadget, and I think it deserves the kudos.

The sewing machine was pretty easy to set up - this was my first time ever threading a sewing machine and loading a bobbin. The instruction booklet has a lot of pictures that are helpful to a beginner. It has an LCD display where you can choose the stitch and options (like stitch length). The instruction book has guidance for most of the functional stitches.
There are also several options for decorative stitches. I tried one of the decorative stitches - it was easy and looked really pretty.
I am excited to use this machine for beginner craft projects. Hopefully if I practice more, I will be able to use it to alter/repair clothing.

Just as I ordered and just like it should be!

I don't know why people are complaining about these not lasting long. I wonder if they are just really rough on chargers. I use mine every day and they are perfect. I keep one in the bedroom and one in the living room. They aren't the best quality you could find, but the connections are sexure and the cords are tough! Considering the price for these, it doesn't get much better. Highly recommended. If something changes, I will let you know. My last 10 foot charger got a year of use before it stopped working, so I expect to get about the same out of these. I will update if it breaks sooner.

This is a great carry bag, with storage pockets for the cords, etc. Great price too!

Love this light box. I researched many different brands and this came up as the best value for money. I found it to have excellent light strength so I can trace through quite thick paper (110lb) easily. I am not a professional, just a hobbyist, so I cannot attest to how good it would be in a work setting, but for craft use, it is more than adequate. I am certainly happy with the purchase and would recommend the Huion products on the basis of this light box

Purchased for a friend who bought one and needed another. This is her favorite sketch kit. She sketches daily and has just completed her second book. She says the colors are rich and concentrated, and the kit is so portable.

BEST crochet hook ever. I have low vision and diabetes so numbness in my hands is a big factor. This hook makes it easier to work with dark fabrics...not really recommended for night crochet. Very comfortable in the hand, big enough to manipulate easily with a soft grip for those whose hands hurt

Easiest to apply oil for sewing machines/sergers.

My favorite glue gun. It's nice and lightweight, but very sturdy. It heats up quickly, and distributes glue evenly. I've used both high and low settings, depending on the material I'm working with, and both settings perform equally as well. It's got a built-in thin metal stand to help keep it upright, and the trigger is easy to pull steadily.

Worked perfect for what I needed it for. I made a mother's nest necklace with it and actually used all 5 ft to wind the nest. Good thickness, easy to work with. The necklace turned out great!

this sewing machine is nice and light, so I can move it easily. easy to use & sews really nicely!

The buttons are vibrant colors and are perfect for making button necklaces, when paired with some painted buttons also sold on Amazon. The price is very reasonable. The only complaint is you don't get over 50, but I wouldn't want them to decrease the size of the buttons to meet the quantity advertised(to satisfy the 40g weight indicated), so I can accept this issue. The colors are more vibrant than the picture shows. I've ordered more.

These are nice for inking up just a small part of a stamp.

I love how solid this loom feels, and with practice, I should be able to use it as quickly as any of my others. My one issue with the product was that some of the pegs are a bit misaligned. Not enough to be difficult to use, but enough to be noticed.

Bought to "knit" with my granddaughter. We used to use a wooden thread spool with nails but this is much easier to use and handle. Besides, I don't think you can find wooden thread spools anymore.

so far it is just what I wanted.

Wonderful natural bone bone folder. No sharp edges to flatten textured papers, works perfectly for it's intended purpose!

Keep in mind that these are not "real" watch gears, they are manufactured for craft projects. They are very thick and would be appropriate for larger projects. I make boxes with mixed media, so these will be a nice addition to my parts box. If you need delicate watch pieces, you will need to look for "genuine" watch pieces.

You get a TON of batting with this order! It is very thin and I prefer to double it but even so this is a great deal.

White material covering brown base is too thin and you can see right though it. Parts of edge glued was peeling already. Also at time of order it listed as a 3 pack, not 3D. I see that has since been changed, but very disappointing the listing was misleading at time of order.

Exactly what I needed to give stability to fabric for embroidery without the residue of other fusible products. Will purchase again.

I have not used these yet as I had an accident and have no done any crafting. I have similar and love them

These are small but mighty. I made a tree using fall colored origami paper. Even after many trips through my die cut machine. I bought two sets to cut my prep time in half, both are still ready to make more leaves.

These are just okay. The hooks to hang the beads from are too far apart. Even when I used 6mm beads, I didn't get a great finished product.
| 3
|
They're perfect for my jewelry-crafting needs. The tiny levers to open the clasp don't get stuck like some lobster claw clasps. Would purchase again.

I use this cord for all my necklaces with beads. It is very strong, and easy to use. I recommend it highly.

Looks like I'm not the only one who purchased this thinking it was basting (double-sided) tape... It's not. Just plain low-tack paper tape you can use for marking guides on your work. Hope this review will prevent you from making the same mistake I made, in case you're also a beginner looking for basting tape. If you're looking for low-tack paper tape to use as a quilting guide, great! You found it :-)

Very happy with this purchase. I like how it keeps the bobbins on display without threads hanging everywhere and getting tangled. The bobbins are held tightly until ready to remove which is done by just bending the outside rubber back a little. This one is quiet (no bobbins rattling around in those plastic containers). I ordered one and liked it so much I ordered 2 more to hold the rest. I organized the bobbins by color so it's easy to see what I need. I am in the process of creating a new sewing/craft room and can't wait to hang these on the wall over my sewing station for easy access. My order arrived promptly as expected and the product was priced fairly. Love that!

this small cutting board is just the right size to cut smaller pieces. It is such a pain to pull out one of my larger boards when I know what I need something small. It is self healing and a joy to use.

I bought these pens for my daughter in law at her request and she said they are great and she loves them. She is a working artist and is quite familiar with good art tools.

These dies are amazing. They feel a little flimsy, but the cut beautifully. I love the tiny edge you get without having to run the die through a second time! The quarter inch difference in the sizes makes them perfect for stacking. I will be purchasing more of these nesting sets!!!!!

I like organ needles for sewing. I mostly use these and Schmetz.

I have not yet used this particular item, but I assure you it is of the top of the line as tools go! I am awaiting some new fabric. This is exactly one that I wanted!
| 5
|
I know I haven't done everything I can with these yet, but what I have created has been nothing short of amazing. With just a tiny sprinkle, you can create some truly incredible stuff. You take a tiny pinch of the desired color(s) and lightly sprinkle it on the desired surface and then spray water over it and VOILA! The magic happens. My art students and own children are fascinated by it! These will last forever when used properly, so it ends up being a pretty good investment. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Great tool, I don't know how I lived without it!

I bought this as an ingredient in lotion bars and it worked as I hoped it would. Buying the pastilles helps the wax melt more quickly and I will certainly buy these again because they did the job.

Poorly designed. The plastic breaks easily. The metal spokes stick up so high, they won't fit into the drawers in my sewing room. I threw mine into the trash.

Ordered 2, one popped via mail delivery so there was a mess in the box. Super cheap, not worth to send back.

This is a great color wheel. I should have ordered the larger one like this as I wear bi focals and Its hard to still even see it, but I like it a lot.
| 5

These really don't work at all. They only inject into the needle sporadically and it's just easier to thread by hand.

Sharpens the pencils well.. As long as they aren't cracked in a trillion pieces..

These where smaller than I anticipated. I am not a metric person.

I didn't think there would be such a difference. I have been using friskers left handed version for a while which was my upgrade from the cheap ones that come in a multi-pack of different sizes from the craft store. I really didn't see much of a difference between the cheapy ones and the friskers. I kind of figured these would be the same story. It had been a few years though and I was upgrading to a new sewing machine and decided to take the chance on these. I figured they would never get any lower then around the $20 mark that amazon was asking since everywhere else they are around $40-$50. I am so glad I took the chance. They don't lie when they say these cut through fabric like butter. Someone in one of the reviews said they were thinner and lighter then they used to make them. I'm not sure if that's true since I'm new to them but I can say they are pretty heavy. I really wouldn't want these to be any heavier. They are also a little stiff but I think that will work it's way out over time.
The only thing I don't like about these is that the plastic sheath really sucks. It doesn't really fit them well. It is overly tight and feels like you are having to gouge them into the plastic in order to just partially put them in it. I was kind of hoping it would come in a metal tin too like they usually do in the fabric store but it didn't. Not really a big deal. I can't even honestly remove a star over it. These are great and everyone who works with fabric should splurge a little to own a pair. Don't even mess with the cheap ones. All of mine will now be down graded to regular household uses.

It is really pretty and holds a lot of pictures

These are the worst pins I've ever used!! I bought them to replace some old Dritz quilting pins I bought about 20 years ago thinking the new ones would be sharper. We let me tell you. These are like pinning with nails. I was going to throw my old ones away and thank goodness I kept them. My old ones are much sharper. The new ones are not sharp at all and I'm just pinning through one layer of T-shirt material not multiple thicknesses at this point in the quilt.

Whether you're using their crayons or pencils, they simply are great products. The colors are the best of the best, and I'm trying to find out right now where I go to buy the pencils one at a time I use them so much. Super product.

great product thanks

It was great fun creating a card for my niece. There are so many dies, it will be easy to design different cards with the same dies.
