OMG! LOVE this. You can mold anything! Have fixed my glasses and a knob. fun to just play with. Want to get it in more colors.	5
I will be proud to use these pink ribbon pins on the bracelets I am making for Cancer Awareness. The quality is great and I will be ordering more products in the future.	5
Good tray. Colors stain the plastic. But that really is to be expected. If staining is a problem get a porcelain dish.	4
These safety pins, even though they are colored, are sharp and slide relatively smoothly through fabric. I tried them first through fleece and they slid right through. Heavier fabrics may require a little more effort. Nice variety of sizes. No minuscule ones. I think this is a very good product and since I do not have a sewing machine, they get used a Lot.	5
I use these on the pierced earrings that do not have metal ear nuts (French hooks). These help me from losing one earring of a pair. Before I started using these clear ear nuts, I was amassing a big collection of single unmatched hook earrings. I have tried various shapes of clear earring backs and I like this shape best. When I get little older, I will be brave enough to wear mix and match earrings from my single earring, no mate, collection. I am waiting until my hair turns completely gray. My mother's hair is all gray and nearing all whiteness. It is amazing what mom can get away with...sweet little gray or white haired ladies rule!	5
Works ok feels a little cheap but ok for the price	5
I have mot used it yet but assume that it will make much easier my work on macram projects	5
U know I love these jars and have to get stamp and dies too. Worth the money. You tube Lawn Fawn Summer charm to get ideas or lawn fawn. This goes with the dies up above.	5
Broke my other one, use this ruler all of the time to trace patterns and draw my own. Wish I could get on that is metal.	5
Guess it is my own fault~~thought the rooster and chicken would be larger.	4
I just received this tape and I want to tell all crafters out there its awesome. We all know the other popular tape out there. The cost is the same but the length is double so this is cheaper and works just as well in my book. Check it out you will not be sorry.	5
There are so many colors and different shades of colors as well. This was an amazing buy.	5
Real robust material. Great for cutting without dulling blades. The large surface is awesome. I love the black side of the cutting mat. The measurement lines are accurate .I would recommend this product.	5
Lid broke right away. It leaks the moment I take the lid off. It is very hard to precisely drop oil without dripping all over the place.	1
I love the Pearl EX pigments. Use them in my resin projects. Works fabulously.	5
This is a great way to keep your crochet hooks or knitting essential organized and together! It has space for crochet hooks with big handles, like the Crochet Dude hooks or the Clover Soft Touch hooks. But if you look in the second compartment, there is a piece of elastic sewn down that will hold your Susan Bates Quicksilver hooks (my favorites) or other hooks without large handles. The zippered pouches will hold a lot of the tiny things that we all can't seem to knit or crochet without, like stitch markers, a small ruler/needle gauge, and a small pair of scissors. Right now, I'm using this to hold everything I need handy at home, but I'm thinking about getting a second one to keep in my knitting bag.	5
I realize that monitor colors can vary, but the yarn I got was nothing like the yarn pictured. In the picture, the colors are vivid and warm. In reality, the colors are very muted and cool looking. I'm very disappointed. I purchased two other types of Red Heart yarn from amazon (mistletoe and variegated greens) and they were spot on with the on screen depiction. Unfortunately, this is a big miss. I LOVE the yarn as it's pictured here, but had I seen it in person, I wouldn't have given it a second thought or bought it. So please, beware.	1
Love the Cropper Hopper paper dividers. Great for keeping your card stock paper sorted within color groupings or by theme.	5
this is one of the best products ever invented. I buy stamp at garage sales and sometimes I find them that have never been mounted or that the mounting is bad. This is the best product on the market in my opinion for replacing this.	5
Fantastic....I own several magnetic pin cushions.......this is superior.....the pin heads automatically point outwardly (magically)...therefore they are easy to pick up.	5
this is a great help with my current make a ripped sofa cushion into large floor pillow project. (the sofa went . . . someplace to a large dumpster, I think) anyhow, it saved my fingers from large booboos!!!!!!!!	5
The case isn't the best I've ever seen. Pens have a tendency to roll around and fall out. Difficult to store. Don't think I'd recommend this.	3
Great quality and the price is certainly right! They are better than the more expensive selections and worked great for my knitting needs!	5
I have loved using these watercolors. I am new to painting. I love working with the richness of the colors. The white is excellent and provides coverage.	5
(UPDATE FOLLOWS the initial review) It's very interesting that the 20 volt Black & Decker instruction manual for the cordless glue gun model BDCGG20C specifies that only Black & Decker standard glue sticks be used, however I am unable to find the glue sticks online or in my local hardware stores. This package comes with two eight inch sticks that when used are excellent and I would very much like to begin a huge project for which I needed this glue gun. That being said, I am really impressed with the weight of this tool, the balance in the hand, the ease with which the trigger is depressed and the flow of glue which does not typically drip. So many glue guns leave a trail of glue while the tool is in upright position in between applications during a project, but using the two sticks provided, I haven't had more than a couple of tiny little drips. A required and included lithium battery pack is charged on an external charger and it took mine about 3 hours to reach a full charge. Removing it from the charger and placing it onto the tool took a little trial and error to get a proper fit, but once it was secured, there was no problem and it allowed the tool to remain nicely upright when placed on a bench or table. The heating element does indeed take only about a minute-and-a-half, which is very impressive and time saving. The provided glue sticks do dry pretty quickly and I like how clear they are. I have not exhausted the battery supply yet but the enclosed literature says a full charge should last a couple of hours and I have read elsewhere that it could be 3 hours. The on/off power switch is the only way to turn this on and off so if you do not manually turned it off, you can count on it staying on until the battery is exhausted. This is something to consider if there are children, pets, or clumsy individuals in the area because it could be problematic. For a large project, I think this is an excellent glue gun which allows you to move about without a cumbersome chord. This also works really well for smaller projects as I learned doing a number of crafty type projects. To my surprise and delight, this was very easy to maneuver but it is not a good tool to get into tight spaces. All in all, I really like this and provided that I do find the specified Black & Decker standard glue sticks, I will raise my rating from four stars to five. Until then, I see no alternative other than to use other multi temp glue sticks of a high quality that I know have worked in my other glue guns. This does not have a high or low temperature capability, but I find that the multi temp sticks work the best. I received this response to my emailed question from Black & Decker: "We apologize for this, however you may use any 8" glue sticks. They do not have to be brand specific."	4
I like to keep a dauber for each stamp pad color that I have. This works out perfectly!	5
Love this case. Holds all my pencils. Easy to pencils in and out.	5
This tool is well made and works well. It's useful for quick work on large 3D works and very good for flat works. It's easy to replace the needles and if the noise of the guard is annoying it can be locked in position to stay out of the way while you're working. I would recommend this tool.	5
Very nice investment. Color is awesome	5
Great picture! This product takes A LOT of time. Well worth it for the end product! No mixing required! This is not for children.	5
Got this to try in my Sizzix Eclips 2 when medium weight chipboard wouldn't cut. This works perfectly. I'm covering it front and back with patterned paper. Once I do that, between the glue and extra paper this is very sturdy. I will definitely be purchasing a lot more of this.	5
Great stamp surface!	5
Do a lot of sewing and sewing and these scissors are so handy and work well.	5
wonderful template	5
First learned of this product in a sewing class. Makes zipper insertion SO MUCH EASIER. Very glad to have it and keep on-hand. One caveat: the adhesive doesn't seem to work as well if the rolls are old. The roll I got this time was good; one that I had recently purchased at a sewing shop didn't adhere as nicely. Guess it could always be a bit of a gamble.	4
Come in handy.	4
Works very well to prevent the printing on T-shirts from being lifted off during ironing when backing the shirt for use in quilts. Highly recommend. Translucent enough to see through well.	5
The quality of the paper is really nice although I am not in love with all of the designs of the pad. They can be used as border pieces or to create embellishments for cards or scrapbook pages and look totally different when embossed!	3
I use this constantly. Works perfectly every time!	5
I like this easel however when pulling out of the box one of the nuts and washers had come off, but that is easily fixed. Nothing to do with the craftsmanship of the product. Works well.	5
Titanium needles are built to hold up under several layers of fabric and last longer. I have found this to be true so far.	5
Great purchase, just what I needed!	5
Good quality plugs.	5
What a great bobbin storage box! My bobbins fit snugly in the slots cut from the interior fitted rubberish foam! And I didn't realize when I bought them that I was getting two for the price, until I later read it at checkout! Now that I've had a chance to see them, I'll be ordering more!	5
These are Soooo Cute! I love them. I have used them to fasten articulated paper dolls together. It is good to have a 1/8" hole punch to go with them.	5
I must say, when I saw this set of brushes from Craftamo was only $25 I wasn't sure what to expect but, I needed a decent set of everyday brushes. Something I could use for crafts and other small projects. I sure was surprised when I opened the package! First of all, the presentation is of great quality. The zippered carrying case is very well constructed. This set includes a great array of brushes. Fifteen brushes in total. There is everything from chiseled edge brushes to fine liners and everything in between. These are very nice long handled brushes. Not your cheapy drug store variety. Although these are far from being sable brushes the synthetic material is of high quality. I haven't been able to loosen any bristles yet and the fibers seem to spring back very well. So, so far, no haywire bristles. The brushes clean easily, even after using one in Mod Podge! If you're looking for a fairly good set of brushes for crafting or for a beginning painter, you can't go wrong with this set. They are exactly what I needed at a fantastic price. Far better than I expected.	5
Like everything I order from Amazon it was packaged nicely and arrived on time. It was the first time that I used this product and it worked nicely for what I needed it for.	4
I have always trusted the Alumilite brand and this product is no exception. If you see "Alumilite" you can take it to the bank that what you are getting is high quality. The casting resin is easy to use, casts a perfectly in the mold every time. Top notch!	5
love the colors in the pack!	5
The sketchbooks arrived on time and were just as advertised. The are a nice quality and size.	5
This is a pretty decent plier that works with different sized eyelets, like the ones included. I definitely overpaid at $12 for this kit. The included eyelets are varied, with large and regular sized silver ones, and red, blue, and green regular sized ones. I would recommend these, but only for a price of no more than $8.	3
It says that the product should not be used near the eye.	1
My daughter draws a lot she love this book	5
Excellent surface for practice or framed art work.	5
havent used this enough to tell anyone to buy it I wish they would go down in prices alot of money	3
Don't buy this pallette. Sadly an art teacher recommended it. The colors bead up, making them hard to mix. For that, I learned, you need a porcelain tray. The instructions claim you can use light sand paper to stop the beading, but what would that do to my expensive delicate brush tips? I don't want to find out. Also, of course, this leaks like crazy if you need to take it back and forth to a class.	1
Love the bullet shape but some have no hole to put on earring.	4
This is so easy I think a toddler could do it. It's really quick, and you can still get plenty creative with it by switching colors, learning different stitches (form youtube), and adding pompoms. It comes with everything you need except the yarn. The orange (second-to-largest) will be a good size for most hats; the pink for big men with huge heads. The green is a good baby hat size. No idea what the blue (smallest) might be good for. Suggestion: don't bother with the instructions that come with this, it'll make you crazy trying to interpret them. Just look it up on youtube, there are some great instructional videos out there.	5
very nice i love it ..	5
This stencil is nice. The dragon flies are nicely detailed and it is easy to use.	5
Love this die, clever, cute, very original, used it for several products.	5
worked great on porcelain	5
Great product for making cards and stamp paintings	5
This is fantastic I love making bracelets with it and it is much sturdier than the plastic stretchy thread. Its super.	5
Great product for quilting and other sewing projects. Also the blade is replaceable if it becomes dull. Very exciting to use!	5
Good quality, they seem to work good but appear on the cheaper quality	4
These pens are the best paint pens I have ever used	5
How can you go wrong with Tim Holtz? There are many sizes in this package-perfect for all my card making needs.	5
This stamp makes such beautiful tags. A bit big for card making unless you use just the top half.	5
Nice product. Works as advertised. Fast shipping. Good price.	5
i like the needle mat because it do not resist any number of needles you use to felt. the foam will allow fewer needles to go through so you can felt faster with this mat than foam. however, it comes with very inconvenient shape and sizes and if you make anything not a square shape, it will fight you.	4
WORKS WELL FOR THE MONEY	4
I've used this now for 2 different loaves of cold process soap. It's been great! I will be buying a couple more so I can do multiple loaves at once. For some reason every other silicone mold I've used has been a nightmare to get soap out of, but these are so easy to use. I have a very "soft" recipe I use often, and with my wooden molds I was having to wait 4 days before unmolding. Not the case with these! I waited 24 hours after pouring, popped it in the freezer for 30 minutes, turned it upside-down and the soap slid out nice and slowly. I still had to wait another 12 or so hours before cutting, but that's not an issue at all. I've used pvc pipe for round soaps and gotten my soap stuck in the mold before, but I don't think that will be an issue here. Everything came out very easily. The sides pull out a tiny bit - Just enough to let air get in and release the soap, but not enough to make the sides buckle while you're waiting for your soap to "set up". I love the straight sharp corners, I haven't had those in the past since I was having to line my old molds with freezer paper. No lining, no greasing, and they're so easy to wash! I can't believe how long I debated whether or not I should invest in these. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend just buying one and trying it - I doubt you'll be disappointed! I was also very excited to see it these loaves fit into my soap cutter, I was worried it would be just a touch too wide to fit. My soap cutter is 3 and 5/8 inches wide, and it slid in with just enough wiggle room to not get wedged. It's perfect! I do wish they made one with slightly higher sides, my old mold (and all the other soaps I have made) are the same size in every way except height, and now I'll have to alter my packaging. Not a big deal if my customers don't mind the small height difference!	5
One of the best pair of art scissors!	5
As a greeting card creator, I love all the label series from Spellbinders, so I had to add this one to my collection. These labels are large enough for 1 or more to be use for the focal point of my cards. The tall and/or wide shape allows me to add larger designs or stickers to my cards or color in my stamped images as I choose. Very pleased with the size ranges and how well they cut.	5
easy to use .. small one .. every sewing need it.	5
Love this vinyl. It comes with so many colors and the value is right on. I have made many items with this and everything has held up great. I actually prefer this over 651.	5
Love these markers. Great quality!!	5
Bought as a gift for my bff to make soap. She is excited to use it.	5
easy to use and good to make different sizes of bias strip.	5
it works great. I used it as a stencil and as a template for just about all my crafting projects :)	5
This is one of the nice piece of tool which i have been looking for in the industry- I love this and carry this all along with me as I walk in any factory.	5
The blue chalk marks great; however, it does not erase. I tried brushing it off; blowing it off with compressed air; and wiping it off with a damp cloth. Fortunately I had used it on a small area and then tried to remove it. I thought Fons and Porter would have a good product for marking light colors on quilts. I don't recommend this product.	1
I've only used this machine 3 times. The 2nd time I used it the automatic threader broke. It had to be taken off. i figured I'd just manually thread like I always have. I started a quilt. Easy piecing this weekend. Straight stitch, Nothing fancy. All of a sudden the needle is in the left position instead of center and I can't get it back to center. I can move it manually with my finger, so it doesn't seem stuck, but no matter what I do ( trying to reset to center, several times) it wont' go back in position. It's hard to get a hold of anyone at Brother. I had to send an e-mail. Waiting on a reply. Very frustrated. Still a new machine and I can't use it. "Additional comments" 6/30/14 I did get a service rep at Brother. Gave me the closest dealer to take it to for repair. It's an hour away. Hopefully they will accept my Amazon purchase verification as proof it's still under warranty. Saying it will be about 2 weeks. Quilt project on hold.	2
I have been crocheting for years and never tried bamboo crochet hooks. These are super. I find that I can crochet for almost double the length of time before my hands get tired. These are so lightweight that I grip less and my hands don't tire so easily. Don't know why I didn't try before as I love bamboo knitting needles. I do find that my crocheting is a little looser, also, so have to use one size smaller to keep my gauge. Also, I find that these don't split the yarn as the metal ones do. I use several yarns that split easily and these just don't do that at all. I just love them. August 12, 2013 I've been using one hook for a blanket and it snapped this morning. The tip came right off in my work. I won't be happy with any product that won't make it through one project of about a month. Will have to look at other brands. I originally was so happy, too, but can't believe it wouldn't even finish one lap robe blanket.	3
I like the idea of this product, but was disappointed in the adherence to my cardstock	2
Simple die cut is especially good for invitations or as place cards!	5
I am revising my review of this product, which I NEVER have done. When I cooled off on how little they are, which I still thnk that they are little, but I have looked at them and they are very beautiful. I have made several necklaces out of them that are quite beautiful. I was wiping off this clear glass container that I put a candle in. I was thinking how pretty it would be to have these millefiori beads on the outside with a candle glowing on the inside. It turned out beautiful!!! I glued them on to the glass with E6000. Once they dry they really stick like crazy. The problem is that it is a slow drying glue. It's really strongh though, once it dries. Anyway I am sorry I left a bad review at first. I was really shocked by the size. I still wish they were bigger. Maybe I could take a photo and show you guys. Anyway don't expcet large beads, but look at beauty.	4
Love the glitter effect--I just found the process to get it to start flowing a bit slow, and I " over squeezed"!	4
much thicker than I expected	3
I purchased this sketchpad because I had the Canson 9 inch by 12 inch one (blue cover) and LOVED it. I wanted some larger paper so I figured this would do the trick, but unfortunately the paper is not as thick as I would like. It definitely does work well with ink and pencil, but the paper is just a bit flimsy for me. As all Canson products it is well made, and I am sure I'll make use of it over time.	4
Great look with vibrant colors.	5
These are great for kids, sure, but they're also great for the rest of us! I haven't used crayons since I was little, but bought these on an impulse while they were on sale. They're really cheap and they actually blend pretty well along with having rather vibrant colors. I've attached a drawing I did with them today.	5
These buttons arrived quickly but we're smaller than I thought. My fault entirely. A nice assortment of colors though.	5
I've been knitting (competently) for 11 years now, and studied kntting for several year prior to actually making anything successfully. These set of needles has a lot to offer, but there are some things you need to know. First: the sizing is not what is generally offered in US knitting needles sets. The sizes are mentioned in the listing in terms of metric measurements. I measured every set of needles with my knitting gauge (I used a Susan Bates brand model). Here are the needles in US sizes included in my kit: US 8 - one circular needle US 6 - TWO circular needles US 4 - one circular needle US 3 - TWO circular needles US 2 - TWO circular needles US0 (smaller than US 0 - my gauge goes no smaller, so I'm not sure exactly what the corresponding US size would be): one circular needle So, yes, there are three sets where I have more than one needle in that size, These are great sizes for knitting socks, and I generally hve more than one project going on at once, so it works out well for me. The case: Over all, I like the case. I like that the snap is inside, so it won't catch on skeins of yarn in my bag. A couple issues: - Each pocket with needles has a number stamped on it. I have no clue WHAT the number corresponds to. It does not match the US size, and it doesn't match the metric measurement, either. - The front cover is stamped with a LOT of Chinese characters. So far, I haven't gotten a decent translation, although several sources have indicated it refers to "high quality knitting needles." This probably doesn't matter in itself, but this sort of oversight on a product specifically being marketed to an English speaking population makes me wonder WHY they chose to use these characters on the cover... I had my doubts about the cables, and one (out of eleven) seems just a little rough, and I will be watching for it to catch on yarn. However, they have a WONDERFUL flexibility. I detest working with circular needles where I have to constantly fight a stiff cable that keeps flipping and getting in the way. These were super soft and supple straight out of the package. No need to do anything to get them to relax. Little extras: Little things mean a lot to me with products. I appreciate that this set includes a yarn needle and a double ended (two different sizes) crochet hook. Those are two tools that you generally need with a knitting project, and are generally NOT included. I have been tucking these tools in on my own, squishing them in with other sets. It's very nice to have a case that holds the entire set, WITH dedicated space to other necessary tools. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review. Any opinion expressed is mine alone.	5
Always using this batting for all of my quilts.	5
These are nice quality, but I bought the same ones at a craft store, they were in a different package. The ones from the craft store had double the pieces for the same price. Oh well, nice item that looks good on the project.	4
perfect for adult coloring books	5
An absolutely gorgeous yarn! It looks exactly like the photo and is easy to work with. I like this one a little more than the Red Heart Boutique yarn in Mosaic, (a very similar color and feel,) because there is no double stranded color change so the variegated color changes more smoothly. It is a little lighter than a worsted weight, but it crochets and knits beautifully and doesn't easily snag.	5
It's duct tape, it binds the universe together. Of course it works.	5

OMG! LOVE this. You can mold anything! Have fixed my glasses and a knob. fun to just play with. Want to get it in more colors.

5

I will be proud to use these pink ribbon pins on the bracelets I am making for Cancer Awareness. The quality is great and I will be ordering more products in the future.

5

Good tray. Colors stain the plastic. But that really is to be expected. If staining is a problem get a porcelain dish.

These safety pins, even though they are colored, are sharp and slide relatively smoothly through fabric. I tried them first through fleece and they slid right through. Heavier fabrics may require a little more effort. Nice variety of sizes. No minuscule ones. I think this is a very good product and since I do not have a sewing machine, they get used a Lot.

I use these on the pierced earrings that do not have metal ear nuts (French hooks). These help me from losing one earring of a pair. Before I started using these clear ear nuts, I was amassing a big collection of single unmatched hook earrings. I have tried various shapes of clear earring backs and I like this shape best. When I get little older, I will be brave enough to wear mix and match earrings from my single earring, no mate, collection. I am waiting until my hair turns completely gray. My mother's hair is all gray and nearing all whiteness. It is amazing what mom can get away with...sweet little gray or white haired ladies rule!

5

Works ok feels a little cheap but ok for the price

5

I have mot used it yet but assume that it will make much easier my work on macram projects

5

U know I love these jars and have to get stamp and dies too. Worth the money. You tube Lawn Fawn Summer charm to get ideas or lawn fawn. This goes with the dies up above.

5

Broke my other one, use this ruler all of the time to trace patterns and draw my own. Wish I could get on that is metal.

5

Guess it is my own fault~~thought the rooster and chicken would be larger.

4

I just received this tape and I want to tell all crafters out there its awesome. We all know the other popular tape out there. The cost is the same but the length is double so this is cheaper and works just as well in my book. Check it out you will not be sorry.

Love the Cropper Hopper paper dividers. Great for keeping your card stock paper sorted within color groupings or by theme.

5

Fantastic....I own several magnetic pin cushions.......this is superior.....the pin heads automatically point outwardly (magically)...therefore they are easy to pick up.

this is a great help with my current make a ripped sofa cushion into large floor pillow project. (the sofa went . . . someplace to a large dumpster, I think) anyhow, it saved my fingers from large booboos!!!!!!!!

Great quality and the price is certainly right! They are better than the more expensive selections and worked great for my knitting needs!

I have loved using these watercolors. I am new to painting. I love working with the richness of the colors. The white is excellent and provides coverage.

All in all, I really like this and provided that I do find the specified Black & Decker standard glue sticks, I will raise my rating from four stars to five. Until then, I see no alternative other than to use other multi temp glue sticks of a high quality that I know have worked in my other glue guns. This does not have a high or low temperature capability, but I find that the multi temp sticks work the best. I received this response to my emailed question from Black & Decker: "We apologize for this, however you may use any 8" glue sticks. They do not have to be brand specific."

I like to keep a dauber for each stamp pad color that I have. This works out perfectly!

5

Love this case. Holds all my pencils. Easy to pencils in and out.

5

This tool is well made and works well. It's useful for quick work on large 3D works and very good for flat works. It's easy to replace the needles and if the noise of the guard is annoying it can be locked in position to stay out of the way while you're working. I would recommend this tool.

5

Very nice investment. Color is awesome

5

Great picture! This product takes A LOT of time. Well worth it for the end product! No mixing required! This is not for children.

5

Got this to try in my Sizzix Eclips 2 when medium weight chipboard wouldn't cut. This works perfectly. I'm covering it front and back with patterned paper. Once I do that, between the glue and extra paper this is very sturdy. I will definitely be purchasing a lot more of this.

5

Great stamp surface!

5

Do a lot of sewing and sewing and these scissors are so handy and work well.

5

wonderful template

5

First learned of this product in a sewing class. Makes zipper insertion SO MUCH EASIER. Very glad to have it and keep on-hand. One caveat: the adhesive doesn't seem to work as well if the rolls are old. The roll I got this time was good; one that I had recently purchased at a sewing shop didn't adhere as nicely. Guess it could always be a bit of a gamble.

4

Come in handy.

Works very well to prevent the printing on T-shirts from being lifted off during ironing when backing the shirt for use in quilts. Highly recommend. Translucent enough to see through well.

5

The quality of the paper is really nice although I am not in love with all of the designs of the pad. They can be used as border pieces or to create embellishments for cards or scrapbook pages and look totally different when embossed!

3

I use this constantly. Works perfectly every time!

5

I like this easel however when pulling out of the box one of the nuts and washers had come off, but that is easily fixed. Nothing to do with the craftsmanship of the product. Works well.

5

Titanium needles are built to hold up under several layers of fabric and last longer. I have found this to be true so far.

5

Great purchase, just what I needed!

5

Good quality plugs.

5

What a great bobbin storage box! My bobbins fit snugly in the slots cut from the interior fitted rubberish foam! And I didn't realize when I bought them that I was getting two for the price, until I later read it at checkout! Now that I've had a chance to see them, I'll be ordering more!

5

These are Soooo Cute! I love them. I have used them to fasten articulated paper dolls together. It is good to have a 1/8" hole punch to go with them.

5

I must say, when I saw this set of brushes from Craftamo was only $25 I wasn't sure what to expect but, I needed a decent set of everyday brushes. Something I could use for crafts and other small projects. I sure was surprised when I opened the package! First of all, the presentation is of great quality. The zippered carrying case is very well constructed. This set includes a great array of brushes. Fifteen brushes in total. There is everything from chiseled edge brushes to fine liners and everything in between. These are very nice long handled brushes. Not your cheapy drug store variety. Although these are far from being sable brushes the synthetic material is of high quality. I haven't been able to loosen any bristles yet and the fibers seem to spring back very well. So, so far, no haywire bristles. The brushes clean easily, even after using one in Mod Podge! If you're looking for a fairly good set of brushes for crafting or for a beginning painter, you can't go wrong with this set. They are exactly what I needed at a fantastic price. Far better than I expected.

5

Like everything I order from Amazon it was packaged nicely and arrived on time. It was the first time that I used this product and it worked nicely for what I needed it for.

4

I have always trusted the Alumilite brand and this product is no exception. If you see "Alumilite" you can take it to the bank that what you are getting is high quality. The casting resin is easy to use, casts a perfectly in the mold every time. Top notch!

5

love the colors in the pack!

5

The sketchbooks arrived on time and were just as advertised. The are a nice quality and size.

5

This is a pretty decent plier that works with different sized eyelets, like the ones included. I definitely overpaid at $12 for this kit. The included eyelets are varied, with large and regular sized silver ones, and red, blue, and green regular sized ones. I would recommend these, but only for a price of no more than $8.

3

It says that the product should not be used near the eye.

1

My daughter draws a lot she love this book

5

Excellent surface for practice or framed art work.

5

havent used this enough to tell anyone to buy it I wish they would go down in prices alot of money

3

Don't buy this pallette. Sadly an art teacher recommended it. The colors bead up, making them hard to mix. For that, I learned, you need a porcelain tray. The instructions claim you can use light sand paper to stop the beading, but what would that do to my expensive delicate brush tips? I don't want to find out. Also, of course, this leaks like crazy if you need to take it back and forth to a class.

1

Love the bullet shape but some have no hole to put on earring.

4

This is so easy I think a toddler could do it. It's really quick, and you can still get plenty creative with it by switching colors, learning different stitches (form youtube), and adding pompoms. It comes with everything you need except the yarn. The orange (second-to-largest) will be a good size for most hats; the pink for big men with huge heads. The green is a good baby hat size. No idea what the blue (smallest) might be good for. Suggestion: don't bother with the instructions that come with this, it'll make you crazy trying to interpret them. Just look it up on youtube, there are some great instructional videos out there.

5

very nice i love it ..

5

This stencil is nice. The dragon flies are nicely detailed and it is easy to use.

5

Love this die, clever, cute, very original, used it for several products.

5

worked great on porcelain

5

Great product for making cards and stamp paintings

5

This is fantastic I love making bracelets with it and it is much sturdier than the plastic stretchy thread. Its super.

5

Great product for quilting and other sewing projects. Also the blade is replaceable if it becomes dull. Very exciting to use!

5

Good quality, they seem to work good but appear on the cheaper quality

4

These pens are the best paint pens I have ever used

5

How can you go wrong with Tim Holtz? There are many sizes in this package-perfect for all my card making needs.

5

This stamp makes such beautiful tags. A bit big for card making unless you use just the top half.

5

Nice product. Works as advertised. Fast shipping. Good price.

5

i like the needle mat because it do not resist any number of needles you use to felt. the foam will allow fewer needles to go through so you can felt faster with this mat than foam. however, it comes with very inconvenient shape and sizes and if you make anything not a square shape, it will fight you.

WORKS WELL FOR THE MONEY

I've used this now for 2 different loaves of cold process soap. It's been great! I will be buying a couple more so I can do multiple loaves at once. For some reason every other silicone mold I've used has been a nightmare to get soap out of, but these are so easy to use. I have a very "soft" recipe I use often, and with my wooden molds I was having to wait 4 days before unmolding. Not the case with these! I waited 24 hours after pouring, popped it in the freezer for 30 minutes, turned it upside-down and the soap slid out nice and slowly. I still had to wait another 12 or so hours before cutting, but that's not an issue at all. I've used pvc pipe for round soaps and gotten my soap stuck in the mold before, but I don't think that will be an issue here. Everything came out very easily. The sides pull out a tiny bit - Just enough to let air get in and release the soap, but not enough to make the sides buckle while you're waiting for your soap to "set up". I love the straight sharp corners, I haven't had those in the past since I was having to line my old molds with freezer paper. No lining, no greasing, and they're so easy to wash! I can't believe how long I debated whether or not I should invest in these. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend just buying one and trying it - I doubt you'll be disappointed! I was also very excited to see it these loaves fit into my soap cutter, I was worried it would be just a touch too wide to fit. My soap cutter is 3 and 5/8 inches wide, and it slid in with just enough wiggle room to not get wedged. It's perfect! I do wish they made one with slightly higher sides, my old mold (and all the other soaps I have made) are the same size in every way except height, and now I'll have to alter my packaging. Not a big deal if my customers don't mind the small height difference!

One of the best pair of art scissors!

As a greeting card creator, I love all the label series from Spellbinders, so I had to add this one to my collection. These labels are large enough for 1 or more to be use for the focal point of my cards. The tall and/or wide shape allows me to add larger designs or stickers to my cards or color in my stamped images as I choose. Very pleased with the size ranges and how well they cut.

5

easy to use .. small one .. every sewing need it.

5

Love this vinyl. It comes with so many colors and the value is right on. I have made many items with this and everything has held up great. I actually prefer this over 651.

5

Love these markers. Great quality!!

5

Bought as a gift for my bff to make soap. She is excited to use it.

5

easy to use and good to make different sizes of bias strip.

5

it works great. I used it as a stencil and as a template for just about all my crafting projects :)

5

This is one of the nice piece of tool which i have been looking for in the industry- I love this and carry this all along with me as I walk in any factory.

5

The blue chalk marks great; however, it does not erase. I tried brushing it off; blowing it off with compressed air; and wiping it off with a damp cloth. Fortunately I had used it on a small area and then tried to remove it. I thought Fons and Porter would have a good product for marking light colors on quilts. I don't recommend this product.

I've only used this machine 3 times. The 2nd time I used it the automatic threader broke. It had to be taken off. i figured I'd just manually thread like I always have. I started a quilt. Easy piecing this weekend. Straight stitch, Nothing fancy. All of a sudden the needle is in the left position instead of center and I can't get it back to center. I can move it manually with my finger, so it doesn't seem stuck, but no matter what I do ( trying to reset to center, several times) it wont' go back in position. It's hard to get a hold of anyone at Brother. I had to send an e-mail. Waiting on a reply. Very frustrated. Still a new machine and I can't use it. "Additional comments" 6/30/14 I did get a service rep at Brother. Gave me the closest dealer to take it to for repair. It's an hour away. Hopefully they will accept my Amazon purchase verification as proof it's still under warranty. Saying it will be about 2 weeks. Quilt project on hold.

I have been crocheting for years and never tried bamboo crochet hooks. These are super. I find that I can crochet for almost double the length of time before my hands get tired. These are so lightweight that I grip less and my hands don't tire so easily. Don't know why I didn't try before as I love bamboo knitting needles. I do find that my crocheting is a little looser, also, so have to use one size smaller to keep my gauge. Also, I find that these don't split the yarn as the metal ones do. I use several yarns that split easily and these just don't do that at all. I just love them. August 12, 2013 I've been using one hook for a blanket and it snapped this morning. The tip came right off in my work. I won't be happy with any product that won't make it through one project of about a month. Will have to look at other brands. I originally was so happy, too, but can't believe it wouldn't even finish one lap robe blanket.

I like the idea of this product, but was disappointed in the adherence to my cardstock

2

Simple die cut is especially good for invitations or as place cards!

I am revising my review of this product, which I NEVER have done. When I cooled off on how little they are, which I still thnk that they are little, but I have looked at them and they are very beautiful. I have made several necklaces out of them that are quite beautiful. I was wiping off this clear glass container that I put a candle in. I was thinking how pretty it would be to have these millefiori beads on the outside with a candle glowing on the inside. It turned out beautiful!!! I glued them on to the glass with E6000. Once they dry they really stick like crazy. The problem is that it is a slow drying glue. It's really strongh though, once it dries. Anyway I am sorry I left a bad review at first. I was really shocked by the size. I still wish they were bigger. Maybe I could take a photo and show you guys. Anyway don't expcet large beads, but look at beauty.

4

Love the glitter effect--I just found the process to get it to start flowing a bit slow, and I " over squeezed"!

4

much thicker than I expected

3

I purchased this sketchpad because I had the Canson 9 inch by 12 inch one (blue cover) and LOVED it. I wanted some larger paper so I figured this would do the trick, but unfortunately the paper is not as thick as I would like. It definitely does work well with ink and pencil, but the paper is just a bit flimsy for me. As all Canson products it is well made, and I am sure I'll make use of it over time.

4

Great look with vibrant colors.

5

These are great for kids, sure, but they're also great for the rest of us! I haven't used crayons since I was little, but bought these on an impulse while they were on sale. They're really cheap and they actually blend pretty well along with having rather vibrant colors. I've attached a drawing I did with them today.

5

These buttons arrived quickly but we're smaller than I thought. My fault entirely. A nice assortment of colors though.

I've been knitting (competently) for 11 years now, and studied kntting for several year prior to actually making anything successfully. These set of needles has a lot to offer, but there are some things you need to know. First: the sizing is not what is generally offered in US knitting needles sets. The sizes are mentioned in the listing in terms of metric measurements. I measured every set of needles with my knitting gauge (I used a Susan Bates brand model). Here are the needles in US sizes included in my kit: US 8 - one circular needle US 6 - TWO circular needles US 4 - one circular needle US 3 - TWO circular needles US 2 - TWO circular needles US0 (smaller than US 0 - my gauge goes no smaller, so I'm not sure exactly what the corresponding US size would be): one circular needle So, yes, there are three sets where I have more than one needle in that size, These are great sizes for knitting socks, and I generally hve more than one project going on at once, so it works out well for me. The case: Over all, I like the case. I like that the snap is inside, so it won't catch on skeins of yarn in my bag. A couple issues: - Each pocket with needles has a number stamped on it. I have no clue WHAT the number corresponds to. It does not match the US size, and it doesn't match the metric measurement, either. - The front cover is stamped with a LOT of Chinese characters. So far, I haven't gotten a decent translation, although several sources have indicated it refers to "high quality knitting needles." This probably doesn't matter in itself, but this sort of oversight on a product specifically being marketed to an English speaking population makes me wonder WHY they chose to use these characters on the cover... I had my doubts about the cables, and one (out of eleven) seems just a little rough, and I will be watching for it to catch on yarn. However, they have a WONDERFUL flexibility. I detest working with circular needles where I have to constantly fight a stiff cable that keeps flipping and getting in the way. These were super soft and supple straight out of the package. No need to do anything to get them to relax. Little extras: Little things mean a lot to me with products. I appreciate that this set includes a yarn needle and a double ended (two different sizes) crochet hook. Those are two tools that you generally need with a knitting project, and are generally NOT included. I have been tucking these tools in on my own, squishing them in with other sets. It's very nice to have a case that holds the entire set, WITH dedicated space to other necessary tools. I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review. Any opinion expressed is mine alone.

5

Always using this batting for all of my quilts.

5

These are nice quality, but I bought the same ones at a craft store, they were in a different package. The ones from the craft store had double the pieces for the same price. Oh well, nice item that looks good on the project.

4

perfect for adult coloring books

5

An absolutely gorgeous yarn! It looks exactly like the photo and is easy to work with. I like this one a little more than the Red Heart Boutique yarn in Mosaic, (a very similar color and feel,) because there is no double stranded color change so the variegated color changes more smoothly. It is a little lighter than a worsted weight, but it crochets and knits beautifully and doesn't easily snag.

5

It's duct tape, it binds the universe together. Of course it works.
