real sweet in earrings and bracelets, earrings and youth jewelry. I am really sorry it took so long to get you your feedback.	5
These are my first pastels, so I don't have enough enough experience to really gauge the quality I guess, but this is my experience with them. They're firm, I had no problem with breaking. The colors are vivid, so stand out and blend well. They're dry chalk, so if you get that weird "eew it's chalky" feeling, it's there. They're longer than 4". Use a fixative/fixatif spray to keep your work. There's a health warning on the back of the package.	4
love it ! great colors!	5
I needed them so I got them... you can't do long borders, etc on the short stock so I got these and for a good price!	5
I love these, they are really pretty. They make nice rings.	5
cool product. I ill probably use a lot.	4
Very sturdy and well made	5
I have had this machine for going on a year and a half now, so I have given myself plenty of time to use it before writing my review. I will try to be quick and to the point on the pros and cons I have found, although it's sometimes difficult to be brief on a machine of this caliper Pros First: I absolutely love the large throat space and can easily quilt everything from table runners to lap quilts and wall hangings. I wouldn't try to quilt anything in the full/queen/king size ranges, but that's just me. Others may find it doable. I also love the smooth, even stitches that this machine produces. I rarely need to play with the thread tension, but when I do it's easy to adjust and I don't have to fight with it! Also, there are plenty of accessories (including quilting foot and 1/4" foot, of course), and I love that the 1/4" foot also has markings for 1/4" from the end of the fabric (so you'll know exactly when to turn the corner for binding,etc). I'm saving my all-time, absolute favorite feature for last, and that is the simple, lowly, thread cutter. I always thought it'd be handy to have, but turns out it goes way past handy! Quilters will know what I mean when I say it is so awesome to automatically have your top/bottom threads cut whenever you need to start a new line of quilting. Not having to reach under the quilt to clip the bottom thread is heaven! Even when just doing straight line piecing I have found that I love the automatic cutter. Now, when I use my other machine, I really miss that automatic thread cutter! Ok, Cons next: The bobbin placement is a bit difficult to get used to. My hands are about average sized, and it was hard to get used to maneuvering the bobbin case in from the side. Plus, I really had to crane my head down and sideways to see, which could be uncomfortable for someone like me who has periodic neck issues. I'm not saying you can't do it if you have large hands, but I am saying you may have difficulty, especially at first. All that being said, I am used to it now and can do it easily, so no star deduction for this feature. *Next con is the feed dog/presser foot pressure features. It is very subtle, and oftentimes I cannot even tell that I have made any adjustments. I have to go from one extreme to the other to really notice even a minor difference. I mention this because, my neighbor has a competing machine that is pretty much like this Brother in every way, just more expensive. (Her machine starts with a 'J'). I have tried hers, and the pressure adjustments are much more responsive than mine, so either my machine is just a little whacky, or there is a reason for the price difference. This is the one and only negative feature I subtracted a star for. I really wanted this feature, because as I said I tried it on the competing machine and it worked like a charm. So it was one of the selling points for me. Needless to say, because of this I find free-motion quilting easier on her machine than on mine. Next I will just share a couple of observations that do not fall into Pro or Con categories, and these comments do not affect my star rating: Threading for me, wasn't intuitive compared to other machines I've had and I found myself looking at the instructions pretty often in the beginning. Now I can whip it out pretty fast, unless I haven't used the machine in several weeks. Also, although the speed capability is nice, I find that I personally cannot always use it maxed out. Sometimes my seams get a tiny bit off when I go too fast. The foot pedal is very easy to control tho, so this is really just my issue, not the machines'. My last comment is more of a 'wish' item. If only this machine had even just a couple of decorative stitches it would be a pretty complete package. As it stands now, if I want to incorporate a zig-zag or even a simple 's' curve stitch into my quilting, I have to go back to my little machine with the small throat space. But I knew this was just a straight stitch machine when I bought it, so of course no star deduction on that either. All in all, I love this machine and fully expect to get a lot more use from it. I was actually considering five stars instead of just four, but the pressure adjustment issue was enough to slightly edge my rating down.	4
Great needles. Work beautifully. Large enough for knitting a sweater. The colors are gorgeous and the price for the set is expensive, but reasonable considering the size and that they are laminated wood. These are wonderful for people with arthritis. They are as hard as the steel needles, but not cold when you work with them.	5
I love, love, love Fredrix canvas pads! real canvas, not paper product. I can use my acrylics, mat and frame, or add them to my portfolio! Love it, rat product!	5
I have made many beautiful cards with this set.	5
Only 3 sheets inside	3
Still learning on this machine but very excited on its potential! Good instructions but will call in on some questions soon.	5
Makes a nice stop to align stamps and is easy to write on to help space the letters correctly. I'll definitely purchase more in the future.	5
ChiaoGoo knitting needles are now my preferred needles. I almost cannot use others because of how good these are. The points are nice and sharp (fantastic for lace) and the cord has NO MEMORY. Let me repeat that. The cord HAS NO MEMORY! Seriously! Biggest selling point! I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated with a circular because it keeps twisting back on itself. I've kept these coiled in a storage bag and they come out months later with NO MEMORY! I have found the joins between needle and cord to be exemplary; they don't catch any of my yarns (from wool to acrylic to cotton, lace weight to chunky) and simply feel nice when using. They have held up for over a year and I've knit everything from socks to blankets with these.	5
As disappointing as the brass triglides I ordered from Country Brook. They're not very substantial, they are quite thin and definitely not as nice as other I've seen. Since the price of returning these will probably be almost as much as the price I paid, I'll end up keeping these as backups, but doubt I'll be using them much.	2
OMG I love this table. It was a little tricky to put together and heavy to get in the house but once I had it put together it was really nice. The only real complaint I have at all is that the hard plastic pieces that go on the sides of the table are brittle and a few cracked/broke off bits. They also don't fit to well. But beyond that really nice only other thing I'd say it could use is more storage space!	5
These work perfectly for what I need--something to keep the dust off my sewing machines. I've attached photos of the covers on the various sewing machines. The first is a Husqvarna Viking Emerald 183; the second is a Husqvarna Viking Rose; the third is a Husqvarna Viking 6570; and last is a 3/4 machine (looks like a Singer) made during WWII. The cover is too big for the last machine and I have it folded under, but it does what I want it to do. The Emerald has a Sew Steady acrylic portable table and the sewing machine cover goes to the table. The Rose has the embroidery unit attached. These covers don't cover the base and that's not a problem/issue for me. I am 100% happy with these!	5
difficult to install	4
beautiful, just what I wanted although a bit spendy.	5
it looks phoney, not like grass, even with 2 layers, not happy but to much trouble to send back since I am in a wheel chair. I gave it to my neighbor to use, she don't like it either. So it is in the bottom drawer.	1
You have to look carefully if you are seeking a clear envelope with the adhesive on the bag, NOT the flap. This is the exact product I was looking for. It fits an A7 greeting card with envelope perfectly. it's crystal clear, and most importantly, the adhesive is NOT on the flap, so when your card is removed, it will NOT get hung up on the sticky flap, possibly ruining either the card or the envelope. I will definately be placing more orders very soon.	5
Awesome took set	5
I like this product. I used most of them in my egg decorations for Easter. I wish there had been more larger beads than the smallest that I received..But I would recommend them.	4
Very happy with these markers. Good value for the price.	5
Absolutely a great set for cutting fabric. I have a hedgehog and have been buying fleece strips from Etsy , I don't sew whatsoever so I ordered this set and it works great and is so easy to use!	5
Very nice product....looks study.	5
Beautiful colors with a slight shine. I have used this thread to embroider and also sew towels. It is super strong and easy to use. As for the box they come with, apparently you can keep the spool in the box and have it come out, and into your machine. I don't trust that the thread would not tangle so I have not tried it yet.	5
Love this mat!	5
I love stickers...they add jazz to cards and scrapbook pages. These work great with the Couture line but also with some of the othe Graphic 45 papers.....same color family.	5
I am pretty amazed with these blades. Firstly, I want to note I received these blades for free via a Reddit offer with the understanding I would post a review in exchange. Secondly, I would say if they were junk because my integrity is more valuable than $6.99 blades to me. The blades come in an easy to open clear plastic case, and all the blades are stacked up on a little central post in the case. It's tricky to get a blade out safely. They are sharp enough to cut with no weight behind them, don't ask me how I know this. Once I got the blade out of the package it fit perfectly in my cutter. I have to say I was dubious. I am a leathercrafter not a quilter. I figured it would be fine for fabric but I am making things out of 6-12 ounce leather, the latter being full grain leather which can be harder to cut. These blades sliced through the full grain leather like a hot knife in butter. I can't yet say how long it will stay sharp, but when I have to change blades I will edit this review and state the durability, as I think that would be an important factor in purchasing. I am very pleased with the blades and I can state honestly I will be a repeat customer. Lastly, because the product was free, I had several interactions (emails) with their customer service (giving them my Amazon profile etc.) I found them prompt, courteous and professional. I found dealing with this company a delight.	5
I suppose it makes pretty soaps but they are tiny, about the size of a quarter. The size given is for the whole mold. Maybe it can be used for embellishments.	2
Nice slick mat that is great for using mists and spray adhesive because it is so easy to wipe clean. Mine came rolled up so I didn't have the issue some of the other reviewers have mentioned about the mat coming to them folded up and creased. So glad mine was rolled!	5
This did not fit my Singer 5040 C machine, the piece would not snap on like it should. Also, the 1/4" guide was bent in an upward position so even if it had fit it wouldn't have worked.	1
Nice cartridge, great price	5
Great starter set for the price! Love the easel and carrying/storage case!	5
Delivered very fast and packaged in a Brother case. Thank you!	5
Love all the bright colors!!	5
Looking forward to stitching this.	5
These are great. They make my hands feel so mush better.	5
As always I can't quilt without these square rulers. This one was a well needed replacement for a well worn square.	5
Nice tooks to fix watches	5
I ordered brown leather cord, when it arrived it looked grey. I noticed mold on the cord before I opened the package. After I opened it I wished I hadn't - the smell was awful. I cleaned it with windex and it still smelled. I then cleaned it with baby oil and that didn't help either. I did make a simple necklace and put it on the hanger with the outfit I plan to wear it with, however, when I enter my bedroom I can smell the odor from the moldy leather. I will not order from this vendor again. Wished I had taken pictures to post with this review.	1
My mum loves circuit. Great value and has loads of additional cuts it doesnt show on box.	4
Tear the thread perfectly. These are great for cutting the tread - oh if you want them to self-thread- good luck! Tried it with several different types and thicknesses of thread. Have lots of small pieces left.	2
Janome DC2012 (more recent machines are the DC2013, DC2014 and DC2015). The features on a DC2012 through DC2015 are essentially the same. However, the DC2012 is $50.00 less expensive on Amazon. Out of the box, it is easy to set up and I was immediately sewing. The manual is very user friendly. The feeddog mechanism allows for sewing thick fabrics as well as lighter ones. I love the Janome brand. I have owned (and own) a Singer, EuroSew Shark (yuck), Viking Emerald and a Brother. Hands down, the Janome brand provides me with a reliable and cost effective machine. This is my go-to work horse gor all projects.	5
I love this, but I didn't know it was supposed to be .....changeable, I lost the thingy that keeps the brush short and now its always long.. oh well.	5
Ok but not great.	3
In all my years as an artist, I've never encountered such wonderful, useful art pens. These are not ball point -- they have a felt-like tip, somewhat like what you see with fabric painting pens. These are great for touch up of washes as well as fine details. Wish I'd bought the larger set, now.	5
Very pretty colors.	5
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this was! I honestly only bought it for the case itself. I need something to hold current projects in and this seemed promising. What I didn't expect was how nice the Royal pencils are! Nice pigment, soft leads - my only complaint is that they do crumble a bit... The graphites are also nice - smooth and soft (no crumbling). And who doesn't need extra smudgers or erasers? This is DEFINITELY worth the price! ETA: A photo of how I like to use this case. I took out their supplies and use my own. It's for my current coloring projects. It makes it easier to travel with and I like that everything is together in this one case.	5
The Dreamz needles both double pointed and circular are a dream to work with. I have recommended them to my sister who is also has arthritic hands	5
I haven't used it yet, but from what I see, feel... it's nice. If it performs as well as it looks, I'll be happy, happy!	4
This is good stuff. I'm on my 2nd bottle in 2 years. I love to cover my ATC artwork with it when I paint in watercolors. Brings out the color AND is a wonderful glue effect.	5
very disappointed in the poor quality of these crimp tubes. they fall apart when being crimped, instead of just crimping down in a fold to hold wire in place	2
Product as expected for card stock (does NOT work well on regular paper). Good shipping time.	4
Great tool. Love that this comes with a brayer too. I have the spellbinder one too and both are useful in brushing out most of the itsy bitsy papee pieces from the dies	5
Great quality, just how I expected.	5
The queen of the Gelatos Fan Club is here to leave another review for these fascinating, versatile pigments. This box contains twelve different pastel colors that are, frankly, DELICIOUS! The colors in this line are modeled after French macaroons and include Coconut, Buttercream, Aqua Dolce, Watermelon, Guava, Peach, Earl Grey, Caramel, Kiwi, Fig, Elderberry, Strawberry. Just like with the other sets, I find it impossible to choose one favorite. I have several I use more often - some, MUCH more often - but I wouldn't want to give up any of these precious pastels. Design Memory Craft just keeps outdoing themselves with these amazing magical sticks! The consistency is like a velvety lipstick - you control whether they saturate the substrate, leaving a slick, smooth, powerfully colorful surface...or more of a light hint that produces a washed out/faded look...or anything in between! It doesn't take much to create a piece that really rocks - especially when water is added. Using the included paintbrush with some water will allow you to move these yummy creams around your project with incredible ease. Adding a little water will just turn these into succulent watercolors - adding more water will allow you to achieve the "washed out" look that is so popular right now. (See the photo of the house I made with the Brights set. This is the same unfinished project I keep adding to my reviews, but I can't seem to remember to take pictures of other projects. Thanks, aging! Grrr) I absolutely love the paintbrush Faber Castell has chosen to include with the 15 piece sets. I think it's perfect - which is oddly fantastic, since I usually find the free brushes included with art supplies to be total junk. Surprisingly, this is my VERY favorite brush and I'm using it for everything - not just Gelatos. The clear handle looks cool, fits in my hand like it was custom made, is shorter than the gajillion brushes I already own (easier to control), and the white bristles are...ohhh, those white bristles! They pick up the perfect amount of water for Gelatos. They lay down the Gelatos with amazing awesomeness. (That's my official technical term.) Since the Gelatos are creamy, it would be easy to understand if the medium got all gunked up at the top of the brush (by the ferrule), but miraculously it doesn't. The hairs don't fall out...the bristles aren't too soft or too hard, and it doesn't pick up too much - or too little - water. Goldilocks would definitely approve...This. Brush. Rocks! Wood, canvas, paper...Gelatos will work on many substrates. Metal and glass are the only two things I can think of that wouldn't work - yet, even excluding those two things, do you have any idea how many substrate choices that leaves you with?!? You also have tons of options when it comes to putting them on the substrate...slice off just a little, put it and some water in a spray bottle, and mist it on your project. Apply directly from the applicator. Use a paintbrush. Use a wet paintbrush. Use a cotton bud. A tissue. Your finger. A palette knife. Dauber. Sponge. I'm sure you get the idea. Oh - and these also come with two sponge wedges (like make up applicators) - one soft and one hard. I am so in love! Workable fixative seems to hold these in place, although I have to say that I haven't noticed any color change when adding another wet medium AFTER these have THOROUGHLY DRIED. I also like to use a combination of clear gesso and clear varnish (in a thin coat) to make sure everything stays the same on a prior layer, while adding some tooth for a new layer. Did I mention Gelatos are also acid-free? Portable? Wonderful to mix or overlay? Ohh, yeah! They are my new favorite supply - which says a lot. (My house is like a mix of Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Dick Blick combined....but only because I would need the square footage of all three of those stores to properly store all my supplies!) Whether you are new to arts and crafts, or you've been around long enough to see all sorts of products come and go, you will easily find a use for these. The effects you can create are truly endless, especially when you begin to bring water into the equation. Easy to control, deposits rich color on the paper, wood, canvas, etc you're using (the house is on a birch wood panel), countless ways to apply...ooh! Gives me goosebumps just thinking about all the creamy, colorful fun crammed into this box of velvety sticks! Gelatos are available in a wide range of combinations - a couple of colors are available in sets of 2, there are many different color combinations available in four packs (each comes with a brush), sets of 15 that have a theme (Pastel, Metallics, Brights, etc), a collection of 23 Double Scoops (Double Scoops are about twice the size of these regular sticks), and a few additional gift sets. You can get a good idea of their awesomeness in the 4 packs - they are more than enough to play with (quantity-wise), and fairly priced at around $10. Plus, you'll get a "free" paintbrush - although the brushes vary, many of the newer 4 packs contain one of the magnificent brushes I spoke about earlier. Wahoo! Try 'em...I think you'll like 'em!	5
This is just what I was looking for. It is well made and is great in cutting metal	5
great price, I use it for teaching purposes	4
I love these pencils. They mark really well and are easy to see. The only problem is the lead is very soft and you have to sharpen often. I'm afraid they will not last very long.	4
The clover dome is a genius invention, it holds multiple threaded needles at once. You just insert the needle and turn the dome and the thread gets sucked into the dome. When you want a needle, just pull it out and its thread comes out with it, no tangles or anything. Perfect for travel or even just sitting on the couch and having your needles already threaded!!	5
There are patterns calling for this die, haven't used it yet but it looks like it will be a fun thing to use. Think about the time involved using the rotary cutter as opposed to the go! system...much more precise cuts and no more wrong sizes cut out!	5
This sharpener works great! I have 2 different type of electric pencil sharpeners and a couple hand ones and this is by far the only one that works well on my Prismacolor Premier pencils. Super easy to use and easy to haul with me.	5
Amazing stick very well	5
Beautiful bead	5
They work well and are extremely useful to the painting.	5
I actually received this as an after orientation gift for starting a new job. It is truly meant for the trunk of your car however I used it to hold my extra yarn. I chuckled when I saw this listed for the same purpose. I wouldn't purchase this personally but as a free gift it works perfectly. It holds about 7-10 skeins of yarn ( I used red heart super saver yarn).	4
great tool for tight fingers	5
I used to think needles were needles, and I would just buy whatever was on sale when I went to the store. Then I started reading quilting blogs, and trying my hand at things like English paper piecing and hand quilting. When I saw the Clover Black Gold needles, at first I scoffed. Why would I take the time to order needles? I had a stockpile of what I thought were similar needles, that probably cost me $0.50 a packet with a coupon. Then I started having issues with my needles. The more I did hand work, the more frustrated I became. They would drag through my fabric, bend easily, and sometimes I would snap them. After I went through my 4th needle in one night, I decided to give these a try. I am so glad I did! Compared to the off-brand I bought at JoAnns, these glide through backing, batting and the top like butter! They are worth their weight in gold. My stitches are more even because I am not struggling. The lack of struggle also means that I stitch faster, break and bend fewer needles. Now I have a stockpile of these instead of a stockpile of cheap needles. Amazon is quickly becoming my go to place for quilting supplies. No need to go out to the store, very competitive pricing, and a pretty good selection.	5
Great with CuddleBug	5
This is the 2nd pen I purchased. I love it. To be able to place marks on the garment and it disappears in 24 hours - very awesome.	5
I really like to use these.	4
Worked just OK	3
The second time I used this die it broke! So disappointed.	1
I cut myself with this rotary cutter because it is shaped differently than the usual rotary cutter I purchase. I am not a happy camper	3
Very nice pencils	5
I love these flowers. I only give them a 4 because they do not fit the exact size they say they do. Its okay though I will use them eventually. Also the customer service was very nice to me when I spoke to them. These are very pretty especially when paired with a nice bead.	4
I purchased this circle cutter as well as the X-Acto cutter found here: B000KNNJ2I . I used both cutters to cut various circles in the 38-45mm range from glossy HP Presentation paper ( HP Color Laser Presentation Glossy ). I was very disappointed with the performance of the Darice as compared to the X-Acto. The Darice cut circles came out rough and uneven while the X-Acto circles came out smooth and even. It was an obvious and big difference from my experience using both.	1
really liked	4
If you can afford the extra $ 60.00 i would recomend this machine for the quality and the extras that come with it.	5
They work great!! Thanks!!!	5
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a family member. She knits often and would carry her supplies and in-progress items in a sling bag. She was so excited to have a way to organize her projects, yarn, and supplies instead of throwing it all in a bag together.	5
I love it! It is just what I needed. I have a smaller bag that I made but the Zuitcase holds a lot more skeins and I usually use six-eight different colors when making an afghan. It's all I could have asked for and more.	5
Love these Supracolor Pencils. They blend so well and are easy to use.	5
very happy with the quality for the price paid	5
I put my tim holtz mini stamp pads in this. They fit great and i can always see which color i need.	5
This is the only large hook brand I can tolerate with my carpal tunnel. Quite slippery unlike most plastic hooks, fairly comfortable handle with some slight padding, fairly ergonomic shaping, good head shape, and not heavy. I threw out several large hooks before settling on this brand.	4
REALLY SHARP	5
I just received this bottle today. I have used this product before I like it. I wanted to purchase a larger size to save money.	5
These are REALLY tiny... And so a bit to get used to if you're using them as regular tools. I would recommend this for a travel kit, but I got them for every day use... And can't wait to afford a regular size kit. With that being said, they get the job done and it takes up little to no space. Perfect if your work / storage area is small / tight.	5
Love it! It is the best die - clean cut and works very well with the green Cuttlebug. It is as advertised; is a versatile die and has many uses.	5
This is a great yarn for blanket crochet projects. I love how it does not rub raw spots in my fingers, and I can keep working for hours. I choose this particular yarn because it is easy to maintain for the people I make blankets for. I ususally crochet queen size blankets, but this would be exceptional for baby use project as well.	5
I used these for soap making and it turned out great. I have a designated cookie sheet i poured them on to keep them stable and in case of drips. I made lard lye soap in them multiple times. Durable product.	5
lost of colors and nice paper. Now I have to find out how to use it. I need ideas, seriously. I bought this for an arts consortium.	5
This color is different than most I've seen. Cant wait to use it. Just have to figure out what to make with it. It will make a nice blanket.	5
These pens do not bleed through the paper as much as Tombow water based markers nor Bic, Sharpie, or Copic markers. however one star off because there are very few pinks and purples/lavenders.	4
Beautiful fabric pieces. Many useful ideas for them. They can be used for quilts or gift bottle toppers.	5
Really nice yarn.	5

real sweet in earrings and bracelets, earrings and youth jewelry. I am really sorry it took so long to get you your feedback.

These are my first pastels, so I don't have enough enough experience to really gauge the quality I guess, but this is my experience with them. They're firm, I had no problem with breaking. The colors are vivid, so stand out and blend well. They're dry chalk, so if you get that weird "eew it's chalky" feeling, it's there. They're longer than 4". Use a fixative/fixatif spray to keep your work. There's a health warning on the back of the package.

4

love it ! great colors!

5

I needed them so I got them... you can't do long borders, etc on the short stock so I got these and for a good price!

5

I love these, they are really pretty. They make nice rings.

5

cool product. I ill probably use a lot.

Very sturdy and well made

As it stands now, if I want to incorporate a zig-zag or even a simple 's' curve stitch into my quilting, I have to go back to my little machine with the small throat space. But I knew this was just a straight stitch machine when I bought it, so of course no star deduction on that either. All in all, I love this machine and fully expect to get a lot more use from it. I was actually considering five stars instead of just four, but the pressure adjustment issue was enough to slightly edge my rating down.

Great needles. Work beautifully. Large enough for knitting a sweater. The colors are gorgeous and the price for the set is expensive, but reasonable considering the size and that they are laminated wood. These are wonderful for people with arthritis. They are as hard as the steel needles, but not cold when you work with them.

5

I love, love, love Fredrix canvas pads! real canvas, not paper product. I can use my acrylics, mat and frame, or add them to my portfolio! Love it, rat product!

5

I have made many beautiful cards with this set.

5

Only 3 sheets inside

3

Still learning on this machine but very excited on its potential! Good instructions but will call in on some questions soon.

5

Makes a nice stop to align stamps and is easy to write on to help space the letters correctly. I'll definitely purchase more in the future.

ChiaoGoo knitting needles are now my preferred needles. I almost cannot use others because of how good these are. The points are nice and sharp (fantastic for lace) and the cord has NO MEMORY. Let me repeat that. The cord HAS NO MEMORY! Seriously! Biggest selling point! I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated with a circular because it keeps twisting back on itself. I've kept these coiled in a storage bag and they come out months later with NO MEMORY! I have found the joins between needle and cord to be exemplary; they don't catch any of my yarns (from wool to acrylic to cotton, lace weight to chunky) and simply feel nice when using. They have held up for over a year and I've knit everything from socks to blankets with these.

5

As disappointing as the brass triglides I ordered from Country Brook. They're not very substantial, they are quite thin and definitely not as nice as other I've seen. Since the price of returning these will probably be almost as much as the price I paid, I'll end up keeping these as backups, but doubt I'll be using them much.

OMG I love this table. It was a little tricky to put together and heavy to get in the house but once I had it put together it was really nice. The only real complaint I have at all is that the hard plastic pieces that go on the sides of the table are brittle and a few cracked/broke off bits. They also don't fit to well. But beyond that really nice only other thing I'd say it could use is more storage space!

5

These work perfectly for what I need--something to keep the dust off my sewing machines. I've attached photos of the covers on the various sewing machines. The first is a Husqvarna Viking Emerald 183; the second is a Husqvarna Viking Rose; the third is a Husqvarna Viking 6570; and last is a 3/4 machine (looks like a Singer) made during WWII. The cover is too big for the last machine and I have it folded under, but it does what I want it to do. The Emerald has a Sew Steady acrylic portable table and the sewing machine cover goes to the table. The Rose has the embroidery unit attached. These covers don't cover the base and that's not a problem/issue for me. I am 100% happy with these!

5

difficult to install

4

beautiful, just what I wanted although a bit spendy.

5

it looks phoney, not like grass, even with 2 layers, not happy but to much trouble to send back since I am in a wheel chair. I gave it to my neighbor to use, she don't like it either. So it is in the bottom drawer.

1

You have to look carefully if you are seeking a clear envelope with the adhesive on the bag, NOT the flap. This is the exact product I was looking for. It fits an A7 greeting card with envelope perfectly. it's crystal clear, and most importantly, the adhesive is NOT on the flap, so when your card is removed, it will NOT get hung up on the sticky flap, possibly ruining either the card or the envelope. I will definately be placing more orders very soon.

5

Awesome took set

5

I like this product. I used most of them in my egg decorations for Easter. I wish there had been more larger beads than the smallest that I received..But I would recommend them.

4

Very happy with these markers. Good value for the price.

5

Absolutely a great set for cutting fabric. I have a hedgehog and have been buying fleece strips from Etsy , I don't sew whatsoever so I ordered this set and it works great and is so easy to use!

5

Very nice product....looks study.

5

Beautiful colors with a slight shine. I have used this thread to embroider and also sew towels. It is super strong and easy to use. As for the box they come with, apparently you can keep the spool in the box and have it come out, and into your machine. I don't trust that the thread would not tangle so I have not tried it yet.

5

Love this mat!

5

I love stickers...they add jazz to cards and scrapbook pages. These work great with the Couture line but also with some of the othe Graphic 45 papers.....same color family.

5

I am pretty amazed with these blades. Firstly, I want to note I received these blades for free via a Reddit offer with the understanding I would post a review in exchange. Secondly, I would say if they were junk because my integrity is more valuable than $6.99 blades to me. The blades come in an easy to open clear plastic case, and all the blades are stacked up on a little central post in the case. It's tricky to get a blade out safely. They are sharp enough to cut with no weight behind them, don't ask me how I know this. Once I got the blade out of the package it fit perfectly in my cutter. I have to say I was dubious. I am a leathercrafter not a quilter. I figured it would be fine for fabric but I am making things out of 6-12 ounce leather, the latter being full grain leather which can be harder to cut. These blades sliced through the full grain leather like a hot knife in butter. I can't yet say how long it will stay sharp, but when I have to change blades I will edit this review and state the durability, as I think that would be an important factor in purchasing. I am very pleased with the blades and I can state honestly I will be a repeat customer. Lastly, because the product was free, I had several interactions (emails) with their customer service (giving them my Amazon profile etc.) I found them prompt, courteous and professional. I found dealing with this company a delight.

5

I suppose it makes pretty soaps but they are tiny, about the size of a quarter. The size given is for the whole mold. Maybe it can be used for embellishments.

2

Nice slick mat that is great for using mists and spray adhesive because it is so easy to wipe clean. Mine came rolled up so I didn't have the issue some of the other reviewers have mentioned about the mat coming to them folded up and creased. So glad mine was rolled!

5

This did not fit my Singer 5040 C machine, the piece would not snap on like it should. Also, the 1/4" guide was bent in an upward position so even if it had fit it wouldn't have worked.

1

Nice cartridge, great price

5

Great starter set for the price! Love the easel and carrying/storage case!

5

Delivered very fast and packaged in a Brother case. Thank you!

5

Love all the bright colors!!

5

Looking forward to stitching this.

5

These are great. They make my hands feel so mush better.

5

As always I can't quilt without these square rulers. This one was a well needed replacement for a well worn square.

5

Nice tooks to fix watches

5

I ordered brown leather cord, when it arrived it looked grey. I noticed mold on the cord before I opened the package. After I opened it I wished I hadn't - the smell was awful. I cleaned it with windex and it still smelled. I then cleaned it with baby oil and that didn't help either. I did make a simple necklace and put it on the hanger with the outfit I plan to wear it with, however, when I enter my bedroom I can smell the odor from the moldy leather. I will not order from this vendor again. Wished I had taken pictures to post with this review.

1

My mum loves circuit. Great value and has loads of additional cuts it doesnt show on box.

4

Tear the thread perfectly. These are great for cutting the tread - oh if you want them to self-thread- good luck! Tried it with several different types and thicknesses of thread. Have lots of small pieces left.

Janome DC2012 (more recent machines are the DC2013, DC2014 and DC2015). The features on a DC2012 through DC2015 are essentially the same. However, the DC2012 is $50.00 less expensive on Amazon. Out of the box, it is easy to set up and I was immediately sewing. The manual is very user friendly. The feeddog mechanism allows for sewing thick fabrics as well as lighter ones. I love the Janome brand. I have owned (and own) a Singer, EuroSew Shark (yuck), Viking Emerald and a Brother. Hands down, the Janome brand provides me with a reliable and cost effective machine. This is my go-to work horse gor all projects.

5

I love this, but I didn't know it was supposed to be .....changeable, I lost the thingy that keeps the brush short and now its always long.. oh well.

5

Ok but not great.

3

In all my years as an artist, I've never encountered such wonderful, useful art pens. These are not ball point -- they have a felt-like tip, somewhat like what you see with fabric painting pens. These are great for touch up of washes as well as fine details. Wish I'd bought the larger set, now.

5

Very pretty colors.

5

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this was! I honestly only bought it for the case itself. I need something to hold current projects in and this seemed promising. What I didn't expect was how nice the Royal pencils are! Nice pigment, soft leads - my only complaint is that they do crumble a bit... The graphites are also nice - smooth and soft (no crumbling). And who doesn't need extra smudgers or erasers? This is DEFINITELY worth the price! ETA: A photo of how I like to use this case. I took out their supplies and use my own. It's for my current coloring projects. It makes it easier to travel with and I like that everything is together in this one case.

5

The Dreamz needles both double pointed and circular are a dream to work with. I have recommended them to my sister who is also has arthritic hands

5

I haven't used it yet, but from what I see, feel... it's nice. If it performs as well as it looks, I'll be happy, happy!

4

This is good stuff. I'm on my 2nd bottle in 2 years. I love to cover my ATC artwork with it when I paint in watercolors. Brings out the color AND is a wonderful glue effect.

5

very disappointed in the poor quality of these crimp tubes. they fall apart when being crimped, instead of just crimping down in a fold to hold wire in place

2

Product as expected for card stock (does NOT work well on regular paper). Good shipping time.

4

Great tool. Love that this comes with a brayer too. I have the spellbinder one too and both are useful in brushing out most of the itsy bitsy papee pieces from the dies

5

Great quality, just how I expected.

The queen of the Gelatos Fan Club is here to leave another review for these fascinating, versatile pigments. This box contains twelve different pastel colors that are, frankly, DELICIOUS! The colors in this line are modeled after French macaroons and include Coconut, Buttercream, Aqua Dolce, Watermelon, Guava, Peach, Earl Grey, Caramel, Kiwi, Fig, Elderberry, Strawberry. Just like with the other sets, I find it impossible to choose one favorite. I have several I use more often - some, MUCH more often - but I wouldn't want to give up any of these precious pastels. Design Memory Craft just keeps outdoing themselves with these amazing magical sticks! The consistency is like a velvety lipstick - you control whether they saturate the substrate, leaving a slick, smooth, powerfully colorful surface...or more of a light hint that produces a washed out/faded look...or anything in between! It doesn't take much to create a piece that really rocks - especially when water is added. Using the included paintbrush with some water will allow you to move these yummy creams around your project with incredible ease. Adding a little water will just turn these into succulent watercolors - adding more water will allow you to achieve the "washed out" look that is so popular right now. (See the photo of the house I made with the Brights set. This is the same unfinished project I keep adding to my reviews, but I can't seem to remember to take pictures of other projects. Thanks, aging! Grrr) I absolutely love the paintbrush Faber Castell has chosen to include with the 15 piece sets. I think it's perfect - which is oddly fantastic, since I usually find the free brushes included with art supplies to be total junk. Surprisingly, this is my VERY favorite brush and I'm using it for everything - not just Gelatos. The clear handle looks cool, fits in my hand like it was custom made, is shorter than the gajillion brushes I already own (easier to control), and the white bristles are...ohhh, those white bristles! They pick up the perfect amount of water for Gelatos. They lay down the Gelatos with amazing awesomeness. (That's my official technical term.) Since the Gelatos are creamy, it would be easy to understand if the medium got all gunked up at the top of the brush (by the ferrule), but miraculously it doesn't. The hairs don't fall out...the bristles aren't too soft or too hard, and it doesn't pick up too much - or too little - water. Goldilocks would definitely approve...This. Brush. Rocks! Wood, canvas, paper...Gelatos will work on many substrates. Metal and glass are the only two things I can think of that wouldn't work - yet, even excluding those two things, do you have any idea how many substrate choices that leaves you with?!? You also have tons of options when it comes to putting them on the substrate...slice off just a little, put it and some water in a spray bottle, and mist it on your project. Apply directly from the applicator. Use a paintbrush. Use a wet paintbrush. Use a cotton bud. A tissue. Your finger. A palette knife. Dauber. Sponge. I'm sure you get the idea. Oh - and these also come with two sponge wedges (like make up applicators) - one soft and one hard. I am so in love! Workable fixative seems to hold these in place, although I have to say that I haven't noticed any color change when adding another wet medium AFTER these have THOROUGHLY DRIED. I also like to use a combination of clear gesso and clear varnish (in a thin coat) to make sure everything stays the same on a prior layer, while adding some tooth for a new layer. Did I mention Gelatos are also acid-free? Portable? Wonderful to mix or overlay? Ohh, yeah! They are my new favorite supply - which says a lot. (My house is like a mix of Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Dick Blick combined....but only because I would need the square footage of all three of those stores to properly store all my supplies!) Whether you are new to arts and crafts, or you've been around long enough to see all sorts of products come and go, you will easily find a use for these. The effects you can create are truly endless, especially when you begin to bring water into the equation. Easy to control, deposits rich color on the paper, wood, canvas, etc you're using (the house is on a birch wood panel), countless ways to apply...ooh! Gives me goosebumps just thinking about all the creamy, colorful fun crammed into this box of velvety sticks! Gelatos are available in a wide range of combinations - a couple of colors are available in sets of 2, there are many different color combinations available in four packs (each comes with a brush), sets of 15 that have a theme (Pastel, Metallics, Brights, etc), a collection of 23 Double Scoops (Double Scoops are about twice the size of these regular sticks), and a few additional gift sets. You can get a good idea of their awesomeness in the 4 packs - they are more than enough to play with (quantity-wise), and fairly priced at around $10. Plus, you'll get a "free" paintbrush - although the brushes vary, many of the newer 4 packs contain one of the magnificent brushes I spoke about earlier. Wahoo! Try 'em...I think you'll like 'em!

5

This is just what I was looking for. It is well made and is great in cutting metal

5

great price, I use it for teaching purposes

4

I love these pencils. They mark really well and are easy to see. The only problem is the lead is very soft and you have to sharpen often. I'm afraid they will not last very long.

4

The clover dome is a genius invention, it holds multiple threaded needles at once. You just insert the needle and turn the dome and the thread gets sucked into the dome. When you want a needle, just pull it out and its thread comes out with it, no tangles or anything. Perfect for travel or even just sitting on the couch and having your needles already threaded!!

5

There are patterns calling for this die, haven't used it yet but it looks like it will be a fun thing to use. Think about the time involved using the rotary cutter as opposed to the go! system...much more precise cuts and no more wrong sizes cut out!

5

This sharpener works great! I have 2 different type of electric pencil sharpeners and a couple hand ones and this is by far the only one that works well on my Prismacolor Premier pencils. Super easy to use and easy to haul with me.

5

Amazing stick very well

5

Beautiful bead

5

They work well and are extremely useful to the painting.

5

I actually received this as an after orientation gift for starting a new job. It is truly meant for the trunk of your car however I used it to hold my extra yarn. I chuckled when I saw this listed for the same purpose. I wouldn't purchase this personally but as a free gift it works perfectly. It holds about 7-10 skeins of yarn ( I used red heart super saver yarn).

4

great tool for tight fingers

5

I used to think needles were needles, and I would just buy whatever was on sale when I went to the store. Then I started reading quilting blogs, and trying my hand at things like English paper piecing and hand quilting. When I saw the Clover Black Gold needles, at first I scoffed. Why would I take the time to order needles? I had a stockpile of what I thought were similar needles, that probably cost me $0.50 a packet with a coupon. Then I started having issues with my needles. The more I did hand work, the more frustrated I became. They would drag through my fabric, bend easily, and sometimes I would snap them. After I went through my 4th needle in one night, I decided to give these a try. I am so glad I did! Compared to the off-brand I bought at JoAnns, these glide through backing, batting and the top like butter! They are worth their weight in gold. My stitches are more even because I am not struggling. The lack of struggle also means that I stitch faster, break and bend fewer needles. Now I have a stockpile of these instead of a stockpile of cheap needles. Amazon is quickly becoming my go to place for quilting supplies. No need to go out to the store, very competitive pricing, and a pretty good selection.

5

Great with CuddleBug

5

This is the 2nd pen I purchased. I love it. To be able to place marks on the garment and it disappears in 24 hours - very awesome.

5

I really like to use these.

4

Worked just OK

3

The second time I used this die it broke! So disappointed.

1

I cut myself with this rotary cutter because it is shaped differently than the usual rotary cutter I purchase. I am not a happy camper

3

Very nice pencils

5

I love these flowers. I only give them a 4 because they do not fit the exact size they say they do. Its okay though I will use them eventually. Also the customer service was very nice to me when I spoke to them. These are very pretty especially when paired with a nice bead.

4

I purchased this circle cutter as well as the X-Acto cutter found here: B000KNNJ2I . I used both cutters to cut various circles in the 38-45mm range from glossy HP Presentation paper ( HP Color Laser Presentation Glossy ). I was very disappointed with the performance of the Darice as compared to the X-Acto. The Darice cut circles came out rough and uneven while the X-Acto circles came out smooth and even. It was an obvious and big difference from my experience using both.

1

really liked

4

If you can afford the extra $ 60.00 i would recomend this machine for the quality and the extras that come with it.

5

They work great!! Thanks!!!

5

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a family member. She knits often and would carry her supplies and in-progress items in a sling bag. She was so excited to have a way to organize her projects, yarn, and supplies instead of throwing it all in a bag together.

5

I love it! It is just what I needed. I have a smaller bag that I made but the Zuitcase holds a lot more skeins and I usually use six-eight different colors when making an afghan. It's all I could have asked for and more.

5

Love these Supracolor Pencils. They blend so well and are easy to use.

5

very happy with the quality for the price paid

5

I put my tim holtz mini stamp pads in this. They fit great and i can always see which color i need.

5

This is the only large hook brand I can tolerate with my carpal tunnel. Quite slippery unlike most plastic hooks, fairly comfortable handle with some slight padding, fairly ergonomic shaping, good head shape, and not heavy. I threw out several large hooks before settling on this brand.

4

REALLY SHARP

5

I just received this bottle today. I have used this product before I like it. I wanted to purchase a larger size to save money.

5

These are REALLY tiny... And so a bit to get used to if you're using them as regular tools. I would recommend this for a travel kit, but I got them for every day use... And can't wait to afford a regular size kit. With that being said, they get the job done and it takes up little to no space. Perfect if your work / storage area is small / tight.

5

Love it! It is the best die - clean cut and works very well with the green Cuttlebug. It is as advertised; is a versatile die and has many uses.

5

This is a great yarn for blanket crochet projects. I love how it does not rub raw spots in my fingers, and I can keep working for hours. I choose this particular yarn because it is easy to maintain for the people I make blankets for. I ususally crochet queen size blankets, but this would be exceptional for baby use project as well.

5

I used these for soap making and it turned out great. I have a designated cookie sheet i poured them on to keep them stable and in case of drips. I made lard lye soap in them multiple times. Durable product.

5

lost of colors and nice paper. Now I have to find out how to use it. I need ideas, seriously. I bought this for an arts consortium.

5

This color is different than most I've seen. Cant wait to use it. Just have to figure out what to make with it. It will make a nice blanket.

5

These pens do not bleed through the paper as much as Tombow water based markers nor Bic, Sharpie, or Copic markers. however one star off because there are very few pinks and purples/lavenders.

4

Beautiful fabric pieces. Many useful ideas for them. They can be used for quilts or gift bottle toppers.

5

Really nice yarn.
