These are a little thinner than I would like. Used them to put in miniatures of a liqueur as wedding favor and tied with a bow. They are a good size for that.

I absolutely love this hook. I've tried other brands of ergonomic hooks and this is the best.

I love the versatility of gouache since you're able to transition to acrylic and watercolor. Anyways, when I purchased the primary colors I was very happy with the results of my paintings. As an amatuer artist, I found it very easy to use and the pigmitation was very vibrant. Additionaly, the set is wonderful and the color is beautiful. Very pleased with the results, I would definetly purchase agian. However, only when the deals are $20-30 otherwise I would just purchase the introduction set. I paid around $30 for this and the next day it was down to $16 so I definetly should have been more patient and wait for sales.
Note:
The packaging arrived and it was a bit tared and worn out.

My daughter has been in need of a replacement loom and bands for some time, so when I saw this set I jumped on the chance. The set comes in a carrying case. The case is pretty cheap and flimsy, and I hope it lasts the life of the bands, but it's not a deal breaker for me. In the case you will find 21 different storage pockets with colored bands in them. Mine varied slightly from what you see in the pic, but that's okay cause my daughter loved the colors. The colors are awesome. There are solid pieces as well as multi colored pieces. My favorite and hers as well was the flower and heart shaped bands. We did have a repeat of two of the colors (blue) but luckily it is a color she likes. She will have plenty of options to choose from. The bands are well made and feel the same as her high end bands we purchased previously. The case also includes the loom, 5 charms, 4 bags of s clips, the hook you use to create the bracelet, and then 2 smaller hooks with some random blue piece. The instructions did not indicate in any way what the blue tool was for, so it'll probably end up in the trash since we don't know what to do with it. Overall I am very pleased with this set. The only thing I would change at all is the sturdiness of the case ( they are selling to children afterall) and better instructions on how to use the loom. The ones included are basic and don't help much. Those two things do not change my feeling on the set at all. I give this product 5 stars happily.
Disclaimer: I hate seeing these things at the bottom about people getting an object as a discount. I want to make sure that people know that although I did get this at a small discount it in no way changes the way that I feel about it. I am honest in every review and if something doesn't live up to my expectations you will know. I will happily refer this product to family and friends and will definitely buy again!

Variety of sizes, was a little disappointed that there were more extra small buttons, as opposed to normal/small buttons.
But they are buttons, so I may be able to find some craft use for them, or repackage & resell on auction or yard sale.

Too big for what I needed them for. Kept because I can still use it later.

I bought these for myself so I could try out a new medium. When I last used oil pastels (over 50 years ago in grade school) I really hated them. Well, these are a much higher quality, much softer and easier to blend. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to try a reasonable representation of this art material without spending the "big bucks" on the French ones. I'll probably get those eventually, but these are a great starting product with a nice color range.

Very nice - I am well pleased. Make my cards pop with the "wave" edges.

I've been eyeing Sakura electric eraser for a while but could not justify such high cost for an eraser. I'm glad I gave this a try instead and this allows me a very targeted clean erasing or small highlights I wanted. The eraser also allows for negative drawing with ease. It has more than enough power, and I'll be happy as long as it doesn't break, at which time I'll update this review. I've had it for over two months, and so far so good.

Used it up fast.

LION BRAND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YARNS TO WORK WITH FOR CROCHETING & KNITTING. VERY SOFT AND GREAT THICKNESS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BRAND OF YARN TO ANYONE WHO HASN'T USED IT AND I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A LONG FRIENDSHIP !!

This is really heavy and the beeswax makes using it sticky.

I'm not even a "beginner" as an "artist"- I'm someone who aspires to be a beginner. This set of sketching pencils would be a good purchase for anyone, beginner on up. The pencils apply smoothly on paper, and the kit comes with all the essentials for a hopeful beginner like me, including a kneadable eraser. For the price, this is a great set.

These make AMAZING candles!! I love the way it melts and mixes with color. I don't like the feeling of it on my fingers but that's just me. ;-) I am making these as a fund raiser and it works GREAT! I am a beginner who only watched a few youtubes before candle making. Great product, great price, great candles!

Works wonderfully well to clean paint brushes and for stripping paint when an art project doesn't turn out quite right.
Recommend.

The quality of this wool is poor at best. Still, the coarse fiber makes it easy to work with and is good for projects that don't need to be soft.

I use zippers for making bags. These are mighty fine and work great for this type of craft. My niece saw them and became very interested. I bought white, black, and multi-colored zippers.

I purchased this because of price as I needed a machine immediately to finish a project. It may not be fancy however it seems well and has enough (peeve I have) weight so as to not bounce around table. I have recommended this machine to several people and some even purchased it and love it the way I do. I was used to a digital fancy stitch and i do wished it had a little more choices for same price. I'm in need of a second machine because of way I sew. Tossed between this and another.. wishing this singer had more options. If you ever want a tester..have no idea how to become part of anything like testing items. Please contact me
Thank you

My corner chomper fits this case perfectly.

This stuff works great. I use it all the time and have had no problems.

I love the idea of having the hair and skin colors put together for me. Saves me time from sorting thru over 150 Prisma pencils to find what I want. And the quality feels right up there with Prisma.

This box is perfect for holding my bead supplies. The individual compartments are big enough to hold packages of bulk supplies and it is easy to get your finger inside to retrieve just one or two. Solidly made, closes securely. The lid is see-through enough to tell what is inside.

Pretty beads and well made.

it's very helpful for thick seams I love it

Very helpful for keeping to smooth finger roughnesses from catching as you knit.

I bought these for a group craft project and they're great! The color on these beads were accurate. Too bad the other beads weren't, which is upsetting because I really wanted a specific color.

nice addition to a very unique and special project that was undertaken for very special persons on my careing list

This I brought for a very different reason than intended. My mini roses started growing tall that could not keep them upright. So I ordered these knitting needles. I used the thinnest ones & placed each thin needle right next to rose use the little wires (you get from bread, etc) loosely tied. It worked very well.

One of my daughters is allergic to wool, so I am always looking for special yarns that don't include wool. Swanky is one of those yarns. It is fairly thin but it has a beautiful sheen and a soft touch to it. I found that it was too thin to use by itself, so I added a complimentary color in Red Heart Soft to crochet a lovely, spangly scarf. By using Soft, I was able to keep the pretty texture and the Swanky yarn and the Soft "tweeded" together to make a lovely look.
I often put two or more yarns together to get a custom look to my projects. I even switch out the Soft with another color to get a block effect while keeping the same overall feel with the second yarn, in this case, Swanky. Just remember that when you put two or more yarns together, you are changing the thickness of the yarn and you should use a larger hook or needles for your project.
I've purchased a number of colors of this yarn, most recently, the teal color. I tweeded that color with Red Heart Soft Teal to make a much thicker scarf than I could have with just the Swanky yarn by itself. I'll upload a picture of the final scarf. I made the body by holding both colors at the same time and using a size K hook. I then switched to a J hook and used just the Red Heart Soft to do two rows of single crochet as a border around the outside edge.
My daughter has been enjoying the scarf and tells me that it is comfortable to wear.

I was very happy with this purchase, nice variety and all 50 flowers are well made. I may order again, such pretty fabrics. I'm going to use them in my snippet rolls and other textile projects.

This is a fun die! Watched a few Youtube videos on the correct "sandwich" to use as the package recommended a crease pad which I don't have. Seems you don't always need that crease pad, as I found out. Just added the top & bottom acrylic plates, good quality cardstock and it works great! Liked the idea of designer paper printed on both sides, but also didn't have that, so I diecut two pieces of paper back to back and that was perfect. I have no problem with the square size of card...will just use a larger envelope....does anyone really care?!! Lots of card suggestions on Pinterest to get the creativity flowing.

I use this for threading cross stitch needles. Not for use with regular sewing thread. Seems pretty durable.

Great selection of sizes, very happy with this item, especially for the price. Bought this on a whim when I placed my last order and I'm very pleased. The quality is great, value was a big plus. Good thing to add on to your next order.

I got my set the other day and was thrilled with the way they handle. My other hooks are much heavier and couldn't get over for just a piece of metal. I use the knife grip and the other evening had done much of my project. I like the fact that I have a soft handle B hook. This hook I'm using through the project. Be prepared to buy a case with 10 + hooked slots I also bought the Get Away case that is Clover but it only has 8 hook slots. Will use that case for my little budding crochet gal and put in just the most used soft handled hook for Spring Break instead of candy. There is a pencil case that I gather many who has this set is using for their hooks. It's Lihit Lab Teffa pen case, cost $13.83 and of course sold right here on Amazon. The pics show how neat the hooks are placed. For an investment of $40.00 for hooks as nice as these, you want them well protected. I love these hooks

Just as described. Arrived on time and I was impressed with the size and space inside. I really like how durable this box is, as I dropped it by accident. Great buy and I will be getting another one soon.

Just so we are all clear, I did NOT get reimbursed for my opinion of this product. I payed for it and am just reviewing it because I want to.
So first up, the hooks. The hooks are ok. They are not the quality of Clover's, but they aren't awful. If you want to try out ergonomic handles at a cheaper price, I suppose you could, but again, they do not match quality of Clover. They crochet ok, but they are not nearly as smooth, and the handles are unfinished. Also, they include the mm size of the hooks, but not the US letter size. This makes things difficult for people who are not used to only MM size.
Second, the extra tools, I received all the tools, and was quite happy with them. They are a little on the cheap side, but again, as a starter set, not bad. I was especially happy with the snips and gauge.
Now we come to the most impressive part of this whole thing. The case. HOLY COW! This case, it blows everything out of the water. It is stellar. It is on par to Clover's case. It is bigger than the lime green and pink one. It holds EVERYTHING that comes in this kit. I am beyond impressed with the case and would gladly pay what I did for the set for just this case. It is difficult to find a Clover case by itself, either without the hooks, or at a reasonable price. This is what makes me push this product. This is why you should buy this set. Frankly, I think the company could just sell the cases and turn profit. It is that nice.
The kit as a whole was ok, but the case set it apart from the other sets out there.
*I will add pics of all of this later.

Works really good with white ink on dark paper. I am going to try it with a little paint rather than ink to get a good imagine. The white ink is a little translucent.
| 5
|
Comfortable handles, I wish they were a little bigger. I have the older ones from Clover that are slightly flatened and they are still great. When you are working on thread this small, you don't want your hands cramping.

buckles too much, it's not that good of a quality

Worked well to make earrings as long as you did turn the hooks because they break easy.

It is what I expected and more. I have been playing with it every day. It is very easy to use even with my arthritic hands. I am looking forward to buying more dies and embroidery which finishes the applique cut outs. I am even considering the program which these dies work with. ie, very pleased.

I ordered clear flat back beads and got multi-colored beads. They are actually cute, but not what I need for this project. (And I already had multicolored stones).

5 starsThis U-Create Craft Paper Pad is very handy for the numerous school and class projects I get involved in with my kids each school year. The construction paper feels especially solid and comes in a variety of colors. I like that the size of the paper is 9x12 as most school and craft projects require a little bit more space. The size of these sheets also works well if you need to create mat borders for work done on 8 x11 papers, such as for written reports that need to be hung up in class. All in all, getting a pad of 55 sheets of assorted papers (including thin newsprint as well as tracing papers) suitable for multiple school and craft projects for under $10 on Amazon is a good deal.

Beautiful slim ribbon. Makes all my little black boxes look extra elegant when I send packages out to customers.

I use this tape to mount my art prints to matting in order to sell them. This tape works the best out of all the types I have tried so far. I have bought this in different widths and it always works very well.

Not bad, but not great, either. Adequate for the price. Unfortunately, I was looking for something a "little more"... pieces that could be the centerpiece of a bracelet or necklace. Nothing in this package was that much of a stand out. They'll be nice for a bracelet for a teenager or child.

The grid is great for lining up and placement. They are quite thin which does make somewhat awkward to hold onto and keep your fingertips out of the way and out of the ink.

Great colors. Did not realize there are two of each color making it 18 not 36 colors.
Should have checked.

cutting the bell in glitter paper and foil looks really good

Very nice set. Easy to grip and easy on the hands. I love the case and the scissors are very sharp. Great for crocheting doilies or lace work. Love them.

Excellent machine - comparison to prior Singer and Brother models. Several years ago I decided to learn how to sew...or relearn as the case may be. Like many people, my prior experience had been on an old Kenmore and an equally old Singer sewing machine that were heavy on weight but light on features. An automatic button hole was pretty much state of the art and forget something as convenient as a drop in bobbin. I purchased a Singer 7470 Confidence and was impressed with the updates...at least until I discovered the new Brother machines which quickly became my personal favorite. The Brother machines were light weight, had oodles of great stitches with an easy to read control panel, drop in bobbin, easy threader (which did NOT work properly), ample lighting and my personal favorite...the ability to use a hand control rather than foot control. Needless to say, I switched machines and didn't look back...until now.
This Singer is substantially heavier than the Brother machine but not in a bad way...don't get me wrong, it's still a lightweight and portable machine but has a more solid feeling with the exception of the thread holder (more on that in a minute). It comes with a light cover (a very nice touch!), has ample lighting and Singer has since corrected the prior problem of finding/locating stitches by following the lead of Brother/other brands and placing it all in front of your face. Switching stitches is now as simple as can be...just look up the desired stitch and put it in. Nice wide work area, drop in bobbin and auto threader. The LCD screen is a bit weak but sufficient. One thing I do wish this had was the option to work by hand rather than use only the foot...there is a hand control option but requires disconnecting the foot entirely which negates a lot of the ease/convenience.
This comes with a very nice instructional DVD (another excellent enhancement in addition to the soft cover which I love)...the DVD alone is invaluable especially for those who might be coming from very old machines. So much has changed that it can feel overwhelming - seeing, hearing and repeating via the DVD helps get older users up to speed fast and helps new users become quickly acquainted with their machine without the need for expensive and time consuming classes. Singer has also included a nice number of feet making this a solid buying bargain since feet can be quit costly and a pain to track down.
One area in need of improvement is the thread holder...it's flimsy and frankly, out of keeping with the rest of the machine which is otherwise a surprisingly nice addition to the Singer line. So, for those searching for a machine...I would ABSOLutelY buy this one instead of the prior Singer Confidence model - it's much more up to date and easy to use. Compared to Brother, this feels more substantial and better made with many/most of the same amenities and a few extras to boot.

My husband bought this for me for Christmas in 2010. It was my first sewing machine, and I wanted one that I could use to embroider things as well. Not knowing anything about sewing, I read the instruction manual and watched the instructional DVD that came with the sewing machine. Then I started practicing sewing straight lines on scrap pieces of fabric. The instructions were very easy to understand, and being a novice seamstress, I was able to sew 4 pillow cases with zippers with no trouble at all. Now after having this sewing machine for almost 5 years, and countless sewing projects, it is still going strong.
I have had to clean the lint out of the feed dogs twice, because it caused the machine to jam up, but that is normal maintenance on any sewing machine. However, it was pretty difficult to remove the metal plate covering the feed dogs in order to clean it. I love that it has an automatic needle threader as well as a thread cutter built into the machine. It comes with a great variety of presser feet for any beginner and even those who have been sewing for many years. The embroidery attachment comes with 5 different fonts for letters, and several different pictures and patterns that you can embroider using different color threads. One thing that I don't really like about the embroidery attachment is that it is only able to embroider a 4"x4" square. That makes it very difficult when trying to embroider a long name (more than about 4-5 letters). It is possible to do part of the name, and then finish the rest of the name after repositioning the fabric in the embroidery hoop, but it is a big hassle. Also, once in a while while embroidering, the thread won't have the correct tension for one or two stitches and will cause a loop to pop up. This started happening after about 2 years of using the machine. Overall, it's a great machine for beginners and experts alike!
Pros:
Easy to figure out
Touch Screen
Many different stitches to choose from
Embroidery attachment with a variety of fonts, pictures, and patterns
Automatic needle threader and thread cutter
Comes with a variety of presser feet and accessories
Cons:
Small embroidery hoop
Some tension problems while embroidering (after a couple years of use)
Hard to take apart to clean feed dogs

Nice brushes. The white goat hairs are to soft and hard to manage but if you add the dark hairs (wolf or etc.) they are easier to get a point. They are better to start with. I am a new user.

I love this double-sided Scor-Tape! I am a cardmaker and I use all kinds of adhesives. This tape is great because you do not have to find your scissors to use it. (I know those scissors are somewhere! I just used them! Never mind. I have Scor-Tape!) You just rip it, stick it and peel off the back. So easy! It holds well, too. I would not be without this tape. It comes in various widths to accommodate all kinds of adhesive needs. Try it. You won't be sorry.

A friend of mine told me that these chalk markers were on sale so immediately headed over to Amazon to purchase them. I have old windows in my sewing room that I want to use for writing notes and reminders for my projects. I tested one of the markers on my bathroom mirror to offer a little note of encouragement.
The photo included is a first use example. It does take a lot of shaking and pressing on the tip to get the color to flow so you can use it, but the color is very vibrant. I can tell that after a few more uses the markers will be even better because the ink will be flowing better. The really nice thing is that it very easily washes right off with just water.
I put this sign on my mirror and then was able to easily and quickly wipe it right off with a sponge and water. No scrubbing needed.

I HAVE JUST STARTED TO USE MY THIRD CONTAINER OF THIS STUFF.........IT IS CRAP
ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/3 OF THE WAY THE USED TAPE GETS ALL LOOPY AND YOU CAN NOT TIGHTEN IT AND USE THE REST OF THE NEW TAPE. I RECENTLY BOUGHT TOMBOY DOT RUNNER TAPE AND IT IS WONDERFUL.......
MAYBE IT IS ME BUT 2 OUT OF 5 ROLLS WORKED AND 3 DID NOT......THUS MY BAD REVIEW....

I love love love this wheeler case, rolls great, the wheels turn so easily. The pockets and zippered sides are perfect for storage. Each time I have traveled with my machine I am so happy I purchased this carrier.

I plan to use these for dog leashes, but probably only for medium sized dogs. If these do well, I'll order larger ones for bigger dogs. I have seen cheap versions of these hooks come apart where they connect to the D-ring, and have seen the hook fail to close. Don't know yet how these will perform. They are all in working order right now, but haven't been put to use yet. Will post an update if there are problems.

What a disappointment. I read many reviews, positive and negative, before ordering this. For the money, it seemed like the perfect item. The flimsiness and cheap zippers didn't concern me much because I didn't plan to travel. But in all my reading I missed a KEY FLAW which renders the tote useless. The front 4 pockets, shown in the photo with skeins of yarn, and the rear compartment, of equal size and suitable for patterns and working projects, are divided only by a thin layer of nylon fabric which stretches from left to right, BUT IS NOT ATTACHED AT THE BOTTOM. So once you have carefully loaded your skeins, balls, half-finished projects or anything else from the top, the moment you lift the tote at all, EVERYTHING falls out the bottom of its individual compartment and winds up in a mass of tangled yarn at the bottom of the tote. I would have gotten at least as much benefit from a paper grocery bag.
The only reason I gave it TWO stars is that I am - eventually - going to attempt to hand-sew the individual compartments closed, but that will be a difficult project considering the flimsy, plasticky material. Duct tape might even work, but I don't want it snagging on my yarn when it works free. This Yarn Tote is designed like a prank you would pull on a needleworker you really hated!
