They didn't work for me. They kept slipping off or bunching. I was doing a big quilt so I only put the clips on 3 feet at a time, but they just didn't perform the way I thought they should so I went back to pins.	2
delivered in perfect condition. Would prefer linen but for the price, which I misunderstood as 20.00 special for 2 was 40.00. However that is still a great price for the product and will buy it again.	4
Use to re-sticky CRICUT mats. Works pretty good!	5
What i needed. Looks like whats posted. Its also bonded like advertised.	5
A friend ordered this machine and liked it very much. Going on her recommendation, I bought 2 machines, one for my use and one for a dear friend. Delivered in a timely fashion and can't wait to start a project so I can juse this electronic machine.	3
Good quality paper and good price.	4
Makes wonderful lady bugs. Easy to use, assembly required.	5
This Chameleon brush is made from soft synthetic hair that will give you the precision of sable. This angled brush should have quite a long lifespan with the synthetic hair, which is very well-secured in the ferrules. With a black varnished wooden handle and seamless gold-colored aluminum ferrule, this brush is of high quality and is actually quite beautiful in and of itself. My sister-in-law, who is the painter in the family, has used brushes from this company before and really likes them. In fact, she's retired some of her old favorites and is replacing them with this type of synthetic brush. This is a large angular flat (shader) that will be a nice addition to her collection. The brush is a full 13-3/8" from the base to the tip of the 1" wide brush. My sister-in-law works both in acrylic and watercolor and liked this brush for filling in those wide background areas. The more brushes, the better and an affordable, high-quality one at that. Sample provided for review.	5
I purchased this to do my caviar nails and was not dissappointed. The package is heavier than I thought and the colors are vibrant and met my needs perfectly, if you are using this do do your nails you get a lot of product in each container. Martha has put out a quality product once again.	5
Love the stamp block and having a handle on it was a major plus for me. I use with the Prima doll stamps and much smaller ones as well with no problem.	5
Was able to hand pour some great candles that stayed lit longer than with a regular wax wick.	5
Looks just like the picture.	4
Love them! You do have to look at the page at an angle to see how pretty they really are. It's a little hard to tell what color the pencils are just by looking at the barrel & lead. you need to test them first,to make sure they are what you think they are.	4
The images that you can stamp with these are great. They come out crisp and clean and look perfect.	5
ALWAYS GOOD	4
It's an okay purchase for the $, but I was hoping for more stickers and I'm an Army wife and didn't realize that there was a lot of Marine stuff included.	3
So nice to use instead of a brush so you don't get too much water.	5
Kind of disappointed with these. They don't really look like the picture, the colors aren't as vibrant and they seem to be only half tinted. Was really looking forward to using these in some nice pieces, now I guess I'll use them in some stuff for kids.	3
Awesome. I love this little snaps and how super easy they are to apply. Very cool starter kit.. Love the little box it came with. I am a sewing novelist and am having a good time using these on little earbud holders and little bags I am making. I plan on using these on some of my wraps I wear that I am too lazy to sew a snap on. lol!!	5
These are just what I needed for a craft project.	5
Works great with core'dinations paper, you emboss with the folder and then sand the design. The new color from the core of the paper shows through.	5
This yarn and especially colorway is awesome! It is very soft and it has long runs of gradually changing beautiful colors that make self striping pattern on hats and scarves. See my picture, which still does not reflect its real beauty (it does depend on monitor settings, too), but is better than the knitted fabric swatch. The real colors are more vivid and not as dark. I would love to see this colorway is a thinner weight, too. This one is labeled 5 - chunky. The only critiques I have is occasional knot within a skein and the fact that the new skein does not necessarily start and end with the same color, even within the same lot. One skein had a knot just after 2 feet from start, so I discarded this piece. To preserve balance in the striping pattern you may have to cut off the end until you get the same color or move the knot to the seem (check which side is shorter to achieve it). Honestly speaking none of the other colorways in this series inspired me, but this one is a real hit! Be careful though to get enough of the same lot. I bought three skeins at Hancock Fabric because I could not resist it - this is all they had at that time. Two weeks later they got the new shipment and the dye lot #, together with the shades, were noticeably different. The yarn is packaged in 3-skein plastic bags, but they put them on the shelf for sale individually. The first batch had more whitish spots in the dark green. I was lucky I was able to finish the scarf with exactly 3 skeins - otherwise I would have to make BOTH ends different. I used slightly more than 1 skein for a wide beret (X-Large), but this will depend on the stitch used, of course. One skein is probably enough for any ski hat or a cloche. I advise you to shop around, as the current price on amazon is outrageous and it is for just one skein, as I understand. Try the other Market Place vendors in particular.	5
nice ribbon for trim.	4
These seem very manageable for girls. Mine will be for a custom paper doll set for a world traveler to enjoy.	5
amazing sketch book.	5
I love this! It is true to size and made it so easy to punch out circles. I use it all of the time now	5
beautiful, just beautiful.	5
There are so many uses for this product! It stiffens fabric making it near paper, just as it claims.	5
Beautiful yarn for pom-pom making!	5
Great seller, and very nice beads.	5
What a fantastic bag! The workmanship of this bag shows great quality. The one I received is primarily a bright pink color (with a red interior and a black bottom) which I absolutely love. There are also two sizable tassels hanging on one side which I may end up removing. Inside the bag there are two pockets; one open pocket and one zippered pocket. My yarn just fits. I measured out the size before ordering to make sure it was a good size for me. I was expecting it to be a bit larger. I measured the bag I received: when laying flat, the side measures 11" wide by 11" tall with an oval bottom. It's still a good size though. I would love to see this bag offered in a larger size.	5
I've purchased this batting in various sizes, and it is my favorite. I've purchased other manufacturer's batting - both pre-packaged and off the bolt. I will not use anything except Quilter's Dream now that I've found it. Truly remarkable and a breeze to work with. Outstanding results with a beautiful drape and stunning look.	5
I was looking for this stamp and am happy I now have it. I have paper with travel themes so it will be fun to be creative, something I felt I lack but now am getting more ideas.	5
So many of my quilter friends raved about this so I had to try it. Very happy with it! It does exactly what it states. I just bought some new pins and they're going on this one.	5
There iOS nothing wrong with these. I just don't love them. I don't love the lines they make or way they feel. I don't have trouble with them. You may really like them.	3
I had a better one years ago. This one works Ok for the price.	3
I enjoy painting by number. I am still working on this, and wish I didn't have to mix the paints. It is a little tuff to determine which color goes where. Some of the indicators are hard to determine.	4
I love this paper!!	5
Perfect works well with settings stones	5
Love it !! This month Fons & Porter show how to use !!	5
Make paper flowers out of printed paper, stamped paper or plain paper. Very easy to use. The XXS flower is still 3" diameter; I wish they had made it so smaller flowers for card fronts and tags could be used. 3" is a bit big and gaudy for a small card or a gift tag. They look great on larger cards and gift bags, or of course, if you like busier cards than I like. Overall, a nice little tool to have.	5
Blade is very sharp and works great. A great tool to add to my set.	5
Love all Omnigrid products and these rulers are no exception. They are easy to read and I like the measurement markers. The contrasting colors used on the grid is easy for this old woman in her 6th decade to see.	5
Different. I have to get used to it as I am new to FSL.	5
Good stuff....So nice to have plenty of this fusible on hand for my knits.	5
Great for banners.	5
love the cute bottles/containers	5
Works great! One pull and wire is straight	5
COPIC Markers need a Blending Card. Great product.	5
This loom is basically exactly what it looks like / claims it is. There is the base where the loom pieces fit into so that you have a steady piece to hold onto and work with (also makes it handy for when you want to use two sizes together as you can attach one of the larger pieces and smaller ones at the same time). The directions for a basic flower are easy to follow, though this loom has plenty of uses beyond that. I provided a picture showing how I made two different flowers. Once was made looping wire around the loom and then wrapping the center with yarn, the other is just yarn woven on the loom. You could knit on it though there are no notches on the pegs to hold the yarn so it'd not be the ideal loom for that. Searching online will find you much better directions than the simple short ones than come with it. If there is a negative to this, it's that the plastic needle seems a bit flimsy. It has taken my abuse so far, but I do keep worrying that I am going to break it. I'll likely replace it with a metal one. The plastic dome cover keeps everything together nicely. I'm definitely not sorry that I bought it.	5
very flimsy and difficult to get on the machine	2
Good quality metal feel a couple are plastic. They fit my brother but do not work on my 1473cd phaff For the price can't be beat.	5
this iridescent paint is awesome, I don't use it as a gimmick just as a wash to highlight some portions of my paintings and it gives them a unique presence	5
Needed to replace the blade in my Fiskars paper trimmer. Doesn't seem as sharp as the original but the quantity for the price makes up for t	4
Perfect for my Happy Planner! A great tool to help keep my schedule organized!	5
Just opened plastic zipper broke when first used. No directions for the pom pom making part, looks like I'll have to keep it in the Box to keep all the pieces together. Purchased over the other one due to the fact that it had the pom pom making part and it had a carrying kit.	3
thank you.!	5
This is a must have for the Silhouette cutter. It helps to lift and remove patterns and letters after they are cut with the Silhouette cutter. Works well!!	5
Works greatly	5
love this item and all of Bob Ross products. came quickly and with no damage. yes I would recommend this item to others.	5
Right size when not dealing with long width fabric to cut. Good for paper piecing. The extra width is great. Already have enough 6 width.	5
I felt as this is just a wasted of money. I bought it for my husband so he can be creative with it, but to him is useless so it is just tracing drawing but not enough or not as I expected of it	1
Good waxed cord for my project. I love everything Beadaholique sell.s	4
Can't tell you how much I use these tools. Between the three there is just so much you can do! The bag it comes with is also very well built which is quite handy. Dremel does it again!	5
Got this for my daughter, since she loves to draw. Set has all sorts of stuff.	5
Blade doesn't stay firmly in holder. Great idea, just needs more work. Cap sticks and have almost cut myself getting it off. I've only used it cutting on cardboard- got stuck almost every time with the blade out of the holder. I was thinking it was a ergomatic exacto knife. Not so, doesn't tighten down the blade like a regular exacto knife. Will probably find some use for it eventually. Pretty color easy to see.	2
Loved the Opra Red! It goes on and paints like a dream!	4
Yep, these are just what I need for crafting shabby chic pins and hair pieces. Various sizes make it nice.	5
the bracelets I made with these were vibrant and the colors worked perfectly alone or together. Great quality of cording.	5
All the quality of Duck Tape with the cuteness of Hello Kitty.	5
I don't use this for sugar flowers but for polymer clay flowers that I use in my crafts. They come out very nicely.	5
Easy to make if you label all pieces. Loved this pattern.	5
Nice paint,easy to use,,,love it	5
Really struggled with keeping acrylics wet. It's kind of big but it fits in my fridge so no biggie. I put vinegar in to recent mold. so far so good.	5
Using this to make 30 handmade cards for Mother's Day to give to the mothers at my church and it is a beautiful die to work with. My cards look amazing!	5
I love them better than I do a pair of scissors and they are a lot cheaper so they are worth it	5
I love this glass! It's just gorgeous. I have it in the bottom of candle holders, and it looks wonderful. I've even gotten compliments on it from visitors. I had to buy more than I thought I would need at first, but it was worth it in the end.	5
Very pleased- A nice old fashioned and understated effect is achieved with this glitter...it is very old world in feeling.	5
Works well. Double string it for sturdy bracelet.	5
All right	4
love the projects!	5
Work well for utility purposes.	4
Great product. I'm using these for little stuffed crochet owls. They work well and are all uniform in shape and size. The backs fit well. I do recommend using a large washer to get more purchase on the back when pushing it on. If you do several at once, you may get very sore fingers. I definitely recommend if you need more of these, because the amount for the price is so much better than the craft store!	5
Wonderful assortment of colors and high quality! I love these!	5
Loved them Using it now	5
LOVE this wax. Melts easily, pours great, and sets up beautifully.	5
its nice for kids	2
Used these lovely snowflakes on Christmas card envelopes and they were perfect. Get them.	5
Very good quality! Its a happy purchase!	5
Great stuff for free standing lace! Will definitely order this again and recommend it to all machine embroidery people!	5
i purchased the DC1050 several months ago and said I would come back and review it. Well, I am very happy with this purchase. I love this machine. I can't believe I struggled so long with my old one! This machine sews like butter. It is quiet and effortless. There are a lot of nice stitches and features. The "needle-down" feature, and the "start-stop" button are really nice. Now I can teach my granddaughter to sew before she can reach the peddle. I like the speed control. I can't wait to try applique. I have a disability and can't work so I enjoy sewing a lot. This machine is awesome and worth the money and I do recommend it. Sewing is fun again!!!!	5
much easier to use - better than doing swirls by hand	5
I'm very happy with these. The advertisement said these brushes wouldn't shed but they sure did...a lot. I've only owned them for a month and the pretty yellow paint on the handles is already pealing off. I would not buy these again.	2
The new Designio line by Brother is a group of value priced, but feature laden, machines for the home sewist. Currently, there are 3 Designio models of sewing machines and the DZ2400 is the least expensive. However, they are all essentially the same machine. This DZ2400 has a slightly smaller LCD screen than the other two. The DZ3000 includes a Script alphabet that this machine doesn't have and comes with 2 extra presser feet. The DZ2750 has one extra presser foot. Those are the only differences besides cosmetic appearance. The DZ2400 is a computerized, lightweight (about 10 lbs), portable but full-sized machine - which is an advantage for sewists who don't have a dedicated sewing space and cannot leave their machine set up permanently or for taking to sewing or quilting classes. It has a number of features found on much more expensive machines like a quick-set, drop-in bobbin, F.A.S.T. bobbin winding, an automatic needle threader that works very well, 7-point feed dogs which can be lowered for free motion machine embroidery, a needle up/down button, a start/stop button, a speed control bar, and a dial to adjust the presser foot pressure (a very welcome control and rarely available these days). It's capable of up to 7mm stitch width and 5mm stitch length. It even has some surprising features for an inexpensive machine like a memory function which lets you save up to 35 stitches to "write" with the alphabet and the ability to mirror stitches to create beautiful borders and trim using your decorative stitches. It also has 185 built-in stitches including eight 1-step buttonholes and 1 block letter alphabet and comes with 11 presser feet (buttonhole foot, button sewing foot, overcasting foot, zipper foot, monogramming foot, blind stitch foot, zigzag foot, walking foot, quilting foot, 1/4" quilting foot) plus a quilt guide. The walking foot is a pricey but fantastic tool for managing hard to handle fabrics! The feet are snap-on so if you are replacing a sewing machine, the feet from your old machine may fit this one, but make sure the stitch width of your old machine is at least 7mm to avoid needle breakage. The only major foot an experienced sewist might want immediately that isn't included is an invisible zipper foot. This is a sealed, permanently lubricated machine so you never need to oil it. Included accessories are a needle set, twin needle, ballpoint needle, seam ripper, cleaning brush, screwdriver, extra spool pin, 4 bobbins, a bobbin clip and an eyelet punch - all in a plastic accessory bag. There is also an included instructional DVD. The DZ2400 accepts the Brother SA156 plastic bobbin or a standard Class 15 plastic bobbin and standard sewing machine needles. The printed users manual covers the 3 Designio sewing machines since they are all basically the same machine. One of the things I really like about Brother is they write excellent user manuals and this one is no exception. If you are new to sewing, take the time to read through the manual before using your machine for the first time. If you are an experienced sewist, pay close attention to the bobbin winding and bobbin setting directions as they are a little different than on older machines. (With the quick set bobbin system, you no longer have to bring your bobbin thread up through the needle plate to begin sewing!) To begin sewing after winding your bobbin and threading your machine, you need to select the stitch you want to use by entering the stitch number using the buttons next to the LCD screen. (The stitches and their corresponding numbers are conveniently displayed on the front of the machine and the alphabet is located beneath a flip up panel on the top of the machine.) The screen will then display the correct presser foot and suggested stitch length and width for that particular stitch. As a safety feature to avoid damage to your machine or injury to you, it will beep and refuse to sew if you don't have the correct presser foot attached for the selected stitch. You will notice the thread spool pin is a little different. By pushing a lever, the spool pin swings out toward the back which allows you to use larger than normal spools and cones of thread. The end of the pin angles back in toward the machine - perfect for even thread feeding! However, the spool pin assembly is made of a brittle plastic that feels flimsy and I suspect it will break easily. You will certainly want to snap it back in the storage position whenever you are moving it to avoid bumping it. Fortunately, there is an additional spool pin included that you can attach to the bobbin winder, but you may need to purchase a separate thread stand or a replacement spool pin assembly at some point. I was immediately impressed with how quiet this machine is when stitching and how solid it feels for such a lightweight machine! There is almost no vibration even when stitching extremely thick and heavy fabric. The feed dogs are exceptional and fabric feeds smoothly and evenly so you don't end up with one layer being longer than the other at the end of a seam. The LED light is quite bright but every sewist benefits greatly from having an additional task light she/he can direct where needed, IMO. The straight stitch is an average quality stitch - each individual stitch is not perfectly straight - however this is common on non-mechanical, electronic machines. While each stitch is not perfectly straight, most sewists will not notice and it will in no way affect the strength or functionality of the seam. In my experience, the only modern machines that make a perfectly straight straight stitch are much more expensive, higher end models. The other utility and decorative stitches are attractive and well formed. The button holes are not quite as dense as I like, but perfectly serviceable. I often select a thicker thread, use stabilizer underneath, or stitch twice my buttonholes for a more esthetically pleasing result. I assumed at this price point, the DZ2400 would have a hard time handling thick, heavy fabrics and/or thin, slippery fabrics but I am thrilled that this isn't the case. I stitched 3 layers of very thick, brushed, upholstery-weight denim (using a size 18 needle) and, after adjusting the tension for the heavier fabric, it stitched through it easily without any struggling. I also stitched 2 layers of fine, sheer georgette (using a size 9 needle) and again, no problems. The 7-point feed dogs really do make a difference when sewing difficult fabrics like very stretchy knits or slippery, hard to handle fabrics. (This machine is nothing like the Brother-branded machines you can purchase at Walmart for $100-$150, which are very short on features and notorious for requiring constant fiddling and adjusting and never really producing good results.) The extra wide extension table is absolutely essential for sewing very stretchy knits. It supports the weight of the fabric and keeps it from hanging down and distorting the stitches. It's also nice to have the extra sewing surface when sewing larger items like quilts, throws, etc. My only disappointments with this machine are a) the free arm, which is really too thick for use when sewing a sleeve cuff or infant clothing b) the spool pin, which feels flimsy and I worry will snap and c) the fact that no cover is included. I suggest you buy or make a fabric cover right away to keep dust out of your machine when not in use and either a hard case or a soft tote if you will be taking your machine to classes, etc. Dust is the enemy of all electronic devices. So who is this machine best suited for? New sewists will appreciate the drop-in, quick set bobbin, the excellent manual, and the fact that it has so many stitches and wonderful features at a very affordable price. This isn't a machine that a new sewist will grow out of as it has all of the features and accessories necessary to support a growing skill set. I believe anyone who sews or wants to learn would be thrilled to receive this machine as a gift! An experienced sewist will appreciate all the higher end features and included accessories at a price affordable enough to perhaps allow for the purchase of a serger as well. ;-) I've been sewing for 30+ years and I've owned and sewn on many different machines and I am very happy with the performance of this machine. However, this machine is not a heavy duty model and isn't suitable for a home sewing business. It isn't one you'll be handing down to your grandchildren either, but with extra care, your kids may end up sewing on this machine! Make certain to use the right size needle for each project, use better quality thread that doesn't shred and leave lint in your machine, stitch slowly when sewing heavy or thick fabrics, clean your bobbin race area and feed dogs after every project, keep it covered when not in use and don't expect it to handle yards and yards of very heavy fabric for days on end. Brother gives you a lot of bang for your buck with this one considering that Amazon is currently offering it for $250 or less. I can recommend it enthusiastically as an excellent machine at a value price.	5
When the spool stand arrived yesterday, I went immediately to my Baby Lock, put in the metallic thread, threaded the machine and began to embroider. After half hour there was no tangling, no broken metallic thread, no turned over or moved around plastic lighter weight thread holder. ! I'm happy, grateful, and recommending this to everyone who uses metallic thread in the sewing machine! It is heavy enough that it stays in place even with the large metallic thread spool. It is superior to my spool holder stand with the large plastic bottom which can move or shift slightly and cause problems, tangling or breaking, with metallic thread. Now I can complete my project with much less hesitation and fear of the dreaded but beautiful metallic thread beast. Thank you to the person who created the stainless steel and cast iron spool stand!	5
I really wish I could get more of these. I love them for sorting my small clear stamp sets. They fit my bible journaling stamps and make them easy to manage.	5
I really think this is one of the nicest sets I have found for the WOOz. I received them within days of my order. Like going to the store and for the price, you really can't beat it!	5
My Grabbit scissor spot pin place magnet is round, about 1" in diameter, unobtrusive, having a spring loaded suction cup backer, to hold my embroidery snippers, pins, or a small screwdriver or seam ripper to the left side of my machine at eye level where I need it in line of sight. I followed the directions for the round rubbery plastic suction cup using alcohol, and pressed it hard in place onto the smooth surface of my machine. Love it there. It is pricey, cute, functional, and I want a second one. I cannot predict how long it will stay there, but should it dry out and detach someday, I will still use it intermittently when I sew and store it when done. All it needs is water and pressure to reattach it. It came with a round clear smooth stick on to use between the machine and the suction cup, but I do not want any adhesives on my machine surface.	5
I've ordered this product twice now. You get a TON of good quality elastic for the price you pay. It's a nice thing to have on hand when you get the urge to do some crafting.	5
Huge roll. Works well for my projects.	5

They didn't work for me. They kept slipping off or bunching. I was doing a big quilt so I only put the clips on 3 feet at a time, but they just didn't perform the way I thought they should so I went back to pins.

delivered in perfect condition. Would prefer linen but for the price, which I misunderstood as 20.00 special for 2 was 40.00. However that is still a great price for the product and will buy it again.

Use to re-sticky CRICUT mats. Works pretty good!

What i needed. Looks like whats posted. Its also bonded like advertised.

A friend ordered this machine and liked it very much. Going on her recommendation, I bought 2 machines, one for my use and one for a dear friend. Delivered in a timely fashion and can't wait to start a project so I can juse this electronic machine.

I purchased this to do my caviar nails and was not dissappointed. The package is heavier than I thought and the colors are vibrant and met my needs perfectly, if you are using this do do your nails you get a lot of product in each container. Martha has put out a quality product once again.

Love the stamp block and having a handle on it was a major plus for me. I use with the Prima doll stamps and much smaller ones as well with no problem.

5

Was able to hand pour some great candles that stayed lit longer than with a regular wax wick.

Looks just like the picture.

4

Love them! You do have to look at the page at an angle to see how pretty they really are. It's a little hard to tell what color the pencils are just by looking at the barrel & lead. you need to test them first,to make sure they are what you think they are.

4

The images that you can stamp with these are great. They come out crisp and clean and look perfect.

5

ALWAYS GOOD

It's an okay purchase for the $, but I was hoping for more stickers and I'm an Army wife and didn't realize that there was a lot of Marine stuff included.

3

So nice to use instead of a brush so you don't get too much water.

5

Kind of disappointed with these. They don't really look like the picture, the colors aren't as vibrant and they seem to be only half tinted. Was really looking forward to using these in some nice pieces, now I guess I'll use them in some stuff for kids.

Awesome. I love this little snaps and how super easy they are to apply. Very cool starter kit.. Love the little box it came with. I am a sewing novelist and am having a good time using these on little earbud holders and little bags I am making. I plan on using these on some of my wraps I wear that I am too lazy to sew a snap on. lol!!

5

These are just what I needed for a craft project.

Works great with core'dinations paper, you emboss with the folder and then sand the design. The new color from the core of the paper shows through.

I advise you to shop around, as the current price on amazon is outrageous and it is for just one skein, as I understand. Try the other Market Place vendors in particular.

There are so many uses for this product! It stiffens fabric making it near paper, just as it claims.

5

Beautiful yarn for pom-pom making!

Great seller, and very nice beads.

What a fantastic bag! The workmanship of this bag shows great quality. The one I received is primarily a bright pink color (with a red interior and a black bottom) which I absolutely love. There are also two sizable tassels hanging on one side which I may end up removing. Inside the bag there are two pockets; one open pocket and one zippered pocket. My yarn just fits. I measured out the size before ordering to make sure it was a good size for me. I was expecting it to be a bit larger. I measured the bag I received: when laying flat, the side measures 11" wide by 11" tall with an oval bottom. It's still a good size though. I would love to see this bag offered in a larger size.

I've purchased this batting in various sizes, and it is my favorite. I've purchased other manufacturer's batting - both pre-packaged and off the bolt. I will not use anything except Quilter's Dream now that I've found it. Truly remarkable and a breeze to work with. Outstanding results with a beautiful drape and stunning look.

5

I was looking for this stamp and am happy I now have it. I have paper with travel themes so it will be fun to be creative, something I felt I lack but now am getting more ideas.

5

So many of my quilter friends raved about this so I had to try it. Very happy with it! It does exactly what it states. I just bought some new pins and they're going on this one.

5

There iOS nothing wrong with these. I just don't love them. I don't love the lines they make or way they feel. I don't have trouble with them. You may really like them.

I had a better one years ago. This one works Ok for the price.

I enjoy painting by number. I am still working on this, and wish I didn't have to mix the paints. It is a little tuff to determine which color goes where. Some of the indicators are hard to determine.

I love this paper!!

5

Perfect works well with settings stones

5

Love it !! This month Fons & Porter show how to use !!

5

Make paper flowers out of printed paper, stamped paper or plain paper. Very easy to use. The XXS flower is still 3" diameter; I wish they had made it so smaller flowers for card fronts and tags could be used. 3" is a bit big and gaudy for a small card or a gift tag. They look great on larger cards and gift bags, or of course, if you like busier cards than I like. Overall, a nice little tool to have.

5

Blade is very sharp and works great. A great tool to add to my set.

5

Love all Omnigrid products and these rulers are no exception. They are easy to read and I like the measurement markers. The contrasting colors used on the grid is easy for this old woman in her 6th decade to see.

5

Different. I have to get used to it as I am new to FSL.

5

Good stuff....So nice to have plenty of this fusible on hand for my knits.

5

Great for banners.

5

love the cute bottles/containers

5

Works great! One pull and wire is straight

5

COPIC Markers need a Blending Card. Great product.

This loom is basically exactly what it looks like / claims it is. There is the base where the loom pieces fit into so that you have a steady piece to hold onto and work with (also makes it handy for when you want to use two sizes together as you can attach one of the larger pieces and smaller ones at the same time). The directions for a basic flower are easy to follow, though this loom has plenty of uses beyond that. I provided a picture showing how I made two different flowers. Once was made looping wire around the loom and then wrapping the center with yarn, the other is just yarn woven on the loom. You could knit on it though there are no notches on the pegs to hold the yarn so it'd not be the ideal loom for that. Searching online will find you much better directions than the simple short ones than come with it. If there is a negative to this, it's that the plastic needle seems a bit flimsy. It has taken my abuse so far, but I do keep worrying that I am going to break it. I'll likely replace it with a metal one. The plastic dome cover keeps everything together nicely. I'm definitely not sorry that I bought it.

5

very flimsy and difficult to get on the machine

2

Good quality metal feel a couple are plastic. They fit my brother but do not work on my 1473cd phaff For the price can't be beat.

5

this iridescent paint is awesome, I don't use it as a gimmick just as a wash to highlight some portions of my paintings and it gives them a unique presence

5

Needed to replace the blade in my Fiskars paper trimmer. Doesn't seem as sharp as the original but the quantity for the price makes up for t

4

Perfect for my Happy Planner! A great tool to help keep my schedule organized!

5

Just opened plastic zipper broke when first used. No directions for the pom pom making part, looks like I'll have to keep it in the Box to keep all the pieces together. Purchased over the other one due to the fact that it had the pom pom making part and it had a carrying kit.

3

thank you.!

5

This is a must have for the Silhouette cutter. It helps to lift and remove patterns and letters after they are cut with the Silhouette cutter. Works well!!

5

Works greatly

5

love this item and all of Bob Ross products. came quickly and with no damage. yes I would recommend this item to others.

5

Right size when not dealing with long width fabric to cut. Good for paper piecing. The extra width is great. Already have enough 6 width.

5

I felt as this is just a wasted of money. I bought it for my husband so he can be creative with it, but to him is useless so it is just tracing drawing but not enough or not as I expected of it

1

Good waxed cord for my project. I love everything Beadaholique sell.s

4

Can't tell you how much I use these tools. Between the three there is just so much you can do! The bag it comes with is also very well built which is quite handy. Dremel does it again!

5

Got this for my daughter, since she loves to draw. Set has all sorts of stuff.

5

Blade doesn't stay firmly in holder. Great idea, just needs more work. Cap sticks and have almost cut myself getting it off. I've only used it cutting on cardboard- got stuck almost every time with the blade out of the holder. I was thinking it was a ergomatic exacto knife. Not so, doesn't tighten down the blade like a regular exacto knife. Will probably find some use for it eventually. Pretty color easy to see.

2

Loved the Opra Red! It goes on and paints like a dream!

4

Yep, these are just what I need for crafting shabby chic pins and hair pieces. Various sizes make it nice.

5

the bracelets I made with these were vibrant and the colors worked perfectly alone or together. Great quality of cording.

5

All the quality of Duck Tape with the cuteness of Hello Kitty.

5

I don't use this for sugar flowers but for polymer clay flowers that I use in my crafts. They come out very nicely.

5

Easy to make if you label all pieces. Loved this pattern.

5

Nice paint,easy to use,,,love it

5

Really struggled with keeping acrylics wet. It's kind of big but it fits in my fridge so no biggie. I put vinegar in to recent mold. so far so good.

5

Using this to make 30 handmade cards for Mother's Day to give to the mothers at my church and it is a beautiful die to work with. My cards look amazing!

5

I love them better than I do a pair of scissors and they are a lot cheaper so they are worth it

5

I love this glass! It's just gorgeous. I have it in the bottom of candle holders, and it looks wonderful. I've even gotten compliments on it from visitors. I had to buy more than I thought I would need at first, but it was worth it in the end.

5

Very pleased- A nice old fashioned and understated effect is achieved with this glitter...it is very old world in feeling.

5

Works well. Double string it for sturdy bracelet.

5

All right

4

love the projects!

5

Work well for utility purposes.

4

Great product. I'm using these for little stuffed crochet owls. They work well and are all uniform in shape and size. The backs fit well. I do recommend using a large washer to get more purchase on the back when pushing it on. If you do several at once, you may get very sore fingers. I definitely recommend if you need more of these, because the amount for the price is so much better than the craft store!

5

Wonderful assortment of colors and high quality! I love these!

5

Loved them Using it now

5

LOVE this wax. Melts easily, pours great, and sets up beautifully.

5

its nice for kids

2

Used these lovely snowflakes on Christmas card envelopes and they were perfect. Get them.

5

Very good quality! Its a happy purchase!

5

Great stuff for free standing lace! Will definitely order this again and recommend it to all machine embroidery people!

i purchased the DC1050 several months ago and said I would come back and review it. Well, I am very happy with this purchase. I love this machine. I can't believe I struggled so long with my old one! This machine sews like butter. It is quiet and effortless. There are a lot of nice stitches and features. The "needle-down" feature, and the "start-stop" button are really nice. Now I can teach my granddaughter to sew before she can reach the peddle. I like the speed control. I can't wait to try applique. I have a disability and can't work so I enjoy sewing a lot. This machine is awesome and worth the money and I do recommend it. Sewing is fun again!!!!

5

much easier to use - better than doing swirls by hand

5

I'm very happy with these. The advertisement said these brushes wouldn't shed but they sure did...a lot. I've only owned them for a month and the pretty yellow paint on the handles is already pealing off. I would not buy these again.

The new Designio line by Brother is a group of value priced, but feature laden, machines for the home sewist. Currently, there are 3 Designio models of sewing machines and the DZ2400 is the least expensive. However, they are all essentially the same machine. This DZ2400 has a slightly smaller LCD screen than the other two. The DZ3000 includes a Script alphabet that this machine doesn't have and comes with 2 extra presser feet. The DZ2750 has one extra presser foot. Those are the only differences besides cosmetic appearance. The DZ2400 is a computerized, lightweight (about 10 lbs), portable but full-sized machine - which is an advantage for sewists who don't have a dedicated sewing space and cannot leave their machine set up permanently or for taking to sewing or quilting classes. It has a number of features found on much more expensive machines like a quick-set, drop-in bobbin, F.A.S.T. bobbin winding, an automatic needle threader that works very well, 7-point feed dogs which can be lowered for free motion machine embroidery, a needle up/down button, a start/stop button, a speed control bar, and a dial to adjust the presser foot pressure (a very welcome control and rarely available these days). It's capable of up to 7mm stitch width and 5mm stitch length. It even has some surprising features for an inexpensive machine like a memory function which lets you save up to 35 stitches to "write" with the alphabet and the ability to mirror stitches to create beautiful borders and trim using your decorative stitches. It also has 185 built-in stitches including eight 1-step buttonholes and 1 block letter alphabet and comes with 11 presser feet (buttonhole foot, button sewing foot, overcasting foot, zipper foot, monogramming foot, blind stitch foot, zigzag foot, walking foot, quilting foot, 1/4" quilting foot) plus a quilt guide. The walking foot is a pricey but fantastic tool for managing hard to handle fabrics! The feet are snap-on so if you are replacing a sewing machine, the feet from your old machine may fit this one, but make sure the stitch width of your old machine is at least 7mm to avoid needle breakage. The only major foot an experienced sewist might want immediately that isn't included is an invisible zipper foot. This is a sealed, permanently lubricated machine so you never need to oil it. Included accessories are a needle set, twin needle, ballpoint needle, seam ripper, cleaning brush, screwdriver, extra spool pin, 4 bobbins, a bobbin clip and an eyelet punch - all in a plastic accessory bag. There is also an included instructional DVD. The DZ2400 accepts the Brother SA156 plastic bobbin or a standard Class 15 plastic bobbin and standard sewing machine needles. The printed users manual covers the 3 Designio sewing machines since they are all basically the same machine. One of the things I really like about Brother is they write excellent user manuals and this one is no exception. If you are new to sewing, take the time to read through the manual before using your machine for the first time. If you are an experienced sewist, pay close attention to the bobbin winding and bobbin setting directions as they are a little different than on older machines. (With the quick set bobbin system, you no longer have to bring your bobbin thread up through the needle plate to begin sewing!) To begin sewing after winding your bobbin and threading your machine, you need to select the stitch you want to use by entering the stitch number using the buttons next to the LCD screen. (The stitches and their corresponding numbers are conveniently displayed on the front of the machine and the alphabet is located beneath a flip up panel on the top of the machine.) The screen will then display the correct presser foot and suggested stitch length and width for that particular stitch. As a safety feature to avoid damage to your machine or injury to you, it will beep and refuse to sew if you don't have the correct presser foot attached for the selected stitch. You will notice the thread spool pin is a little different. By pushing a lever, the spool pin swings out toward the back which allows you to use larger than normal spools and cones of thread. The end of the pin angles back in toward the machine - perfect for even thread feeding! However, the spool pin assembly is made of a brittle plastic that feels flimsy and I suspect it will break easily. You will certainly want to snap it back in the storage position whenever you are moving it to avoid bumping it. Fortunately, there is an additional spool pin included that you can attach to the bobbin winder, but you may need to purchase a separate thread stand or a replacement spool pin assembly at some point. I was immediately impressed with how quiet this machine is when stitching and how solid it feels for such a lightweight machine! There is almost no vibration even when stitching extremely thick and heavy fabric. The feed dogs are exceptional and fabric feeds smoothly and evenly so you don't end up with one layer being longer than the other at the end of a seam. The LED light is quite bright but every sewist benefits greatly from having an additional task light she/he can direct where needed, IMO. The straight stitch is an average quality stitch - each individual stitch is not perfectly straight - however this is common on non-mechanical, electronic machines. While each stitch is not perfectly straight, most sewists will not notice and it will in no way affect the strength or functionality of the seam. In my experience, the only modern machines that make a perfectly straight straight stitch are much more expensive, higher end models. The other utility and decorative stitches are attractive and well formed. The button holes are not quite as dense as I like, but perfectly serviceable. I often select a thicker thread, use stabilizer underneath, or stitch twice my buttonholes for a more esthetically pleasing result. I assumed at this price point, the DZ2400 would have a hard time handling thick, heavy fabrics and/or thin, slippery fabrics but I am thrilled that this isn't the case. I stitched 3 layers of very thick, brushed, upholstery-weight denim (using a size 18 needle) and, after adjusting the tension for the heavier fabric, it stitched through it easily without any struggling. I also stitched 2 layers of fine, sheer georgette (using a size 9 needle) and again, no problems. The 7-point feed dogs really do make a difference when sewing difficult fabrics like very stretchy knits or slippery, hard to handle fabrics. (This machine is nothing like the Brother-branded machines you can purchase at Walmart for $100-$150, which are very short on features and notorious for requiring constant fiddling and adjusting and never really producing good results.) The extra wide extension table is absolutely essential for sewing very stretchy knits. It supports the weight of the fabric and keeps it from hanging down and distorting the stitches. It's also nice to have the extra sewing surface when sewing larger items like quilts, throws, etc. My only disappointments with this machine are a) the free arm, which is really too thick for use when sewing a sleeve cuff or infant clothing b) the spool pin, which feels flimsy and I worry will snap and c) the fact that no cover is included. I suggest you buy or make a fabric cover right away to keep dust out of your machine when not in use and either a hard case or a soft tote if you will be taking your machine to classes, etc. Dust is the enemy of all electronic devices. So who is this machine best suited for? New sewists will appreciate the drop-in, quick set bobbin, the excellent manual, and the fact that it has so many stitches and wonderful features at a very affordable price. This isn't a machine that a new sewist will grow out of as it has all of the features and accessories necessary to support a growing skill set. I believe anyone who sews or wants to learn would be thrilled to receive this machine as a gift! An experienced sewist will appreciate all the higher end features and included accessories at a price affordable enough to perhaps allow for the purchase of a serger as well. ;-) I've been sewing for 30+ years and I've owned and sewn on many different machines and I am very happy with the performance of this machine. However, this machine is not a heavy duty model and isn't suitable for a home sewing business. It isn't one you'll be handing down to your grandchildren either, but with extra care, your kids may end up sewing on this machine! Make certain to use the right size needle for each project, use better quality thread that doesn't shred and leave lint in your machine, stitch slowly when sewing heavy or thick fabrics, clean your bobbin race area and feed dogs after every project, keep it covered when not in use and don't expect it to handle yards and yards of very heavy fabric for days on end. Brother gives you a lot of bang for your buck with this one considering that Amazon is currently offering it for $250 or less. I can recommend it enthusiastically as an excellent machine at a value price.

When the spool stand arrived yesterday, I went immediately to my Baby Lock, put in the metallic thread, threaded the machine and began to embroider. After half hour there was no tangling, no broken metallic thread, no turned over or moved around plastic lighter weight thread holder. ! I'm happy, grateful, and recommending this to everyone who uses metallic thread in the sewing machine! It is heavy enough that it stays in place even with the large metallic thread spool. It is superior to my spool holder stand with the large plastic bottom which can move or shift slightly and cause problems, tangling or breaking, with metallic thread. Now I can complete my project with much less hesitation and fear of the dreaded but beautiful metallic thread beast. Thank you to the person who created the stainless steel and cast iron spool stand!

5

I really wish I could get more of these. I love them for sorting my small clear stamp sets. They fit my bible journaling stamps and make them easy to manage.

5

I really think this is one of the nicest sets I have found for the WOOz. I received them within days of my order. Like going to the store and for the price, you really can't beat it!

5

My Grabbit scissor spot pin place magnet is round, about 1" in diameter, unobtrusive, having a spring loaded suction cup backer, to hold my embroidery snippers, pins, or a small screwdriver or seam ripper to the left side of my machine at eye level where I need it in line of sight. I followed the directions for the round rubbery plastic suction cup using alcohol, and pressed it hard in place onto the smooth surface of my machine. Love it there. It is pricey, cute, functional, and I want a second one. I cannot predict how long it will stay there, but should it dry out and detach someday, I will still use it intermittently when I sew and store it when done. All it needs is water and pressure to reattach it. It came with a round clear smooth stick on to use between the machine and the suction cup, but I do not want any adhesives on my machine surface.

5

I've ordered this product twice now. You get a TON of good quality elastic for the price you pay. It's a nice thing to have on hand when you get the urge to do some crafting.

5

Huge roll. Works well for my projects.
