Shears arrived promptly and are exactly as described. | 5 |
Just what I needed and good colors. | 5 |
NOT ergonomic but very good quality | 5 |
I got this for my seven year old granddaughter. We do a lot of needle crafts in our family so I thought she would enjoy one of her own. It was frustrating at first because the instructions are so lacking. With help from her mom getting started she picked it up pretty quickly.. once she got started she really became determined. She works on it several times a day for 15 to 30 minutes. She's gotten pretty much done and it looks beautiful. He 5 years old sister wasn't interested at all. I believe if the adults in the family enjoy crafting any child 5 or older would love this. They are going to need help getting started if they are new to needlepoint. Good stocking stuffer. For those that remember Rosey Greer, he use to do needlepoint to relax. | 4 |
I love all the Clover bias tape makers! They have saved me last minute trips to the store. Just remember that you will need to make your center fold! | 5 |
Great yarn for a nice warm pair of mittens, or a scarf or hat! Easy to work with too. | 5 |
Great price! | 5 |
Love it! I have ordered this several times...and will continue to order it! Great price and quality! | 5 |
These were great | 5 |
I like this set of pencils. The case is well made. The pencils are very good quality and easy to work with. I highly recommend them. | 5 |
Love! No more issues while quilting. | 5 |

I have purchased several of these octagonal Kimihimo looms -- for me and as gifts. I do a lot of Kumihimo and this is my favorite loom shape. When I am using 16 strands, it is immediately obvious if I've made a mistake which is very helpful. The loom itself is simple and sturdy. I recently gave one to my friend who taught me Kumihimo and she a agrees with me; it is now her favorite loom. Don't bother with the mini looms. Your bobbins are too easily tangled. I use this loom and place a rubber band on the edge when I set it aside. I rarely have a problem with my threads coming out of the slots, even when I toss my project into my purse. | 5 |
Absolutely, the best inexpensive paper for watercolors. | 5 |
I didn't use these for scrapbooking... I used these for labeling my craft dresser and binders. These worked for both. Not enough "T" is the only reason the 4 stars | 4 |
OH MY this i cannot do without --IVE MADE so many projects with this walking foot . | 5 |
These are beautiful needles. I prefer them because the polished wood slips easily into the stitch and the cable is supple without requiring heat to relax the curl. I've been replacing my other circular needles with these as I need a different size. Also have been using circulars for everything and no longer need any straights, not even double-points, as the "magic loop" system works beautifully once you know how to do it. | 5 |
Jury is still out. When I purchased We R Memory Keepers Letterpress Kit, it came with basic unit, one set of plates, ink, sticker sheet, guides. I ran a test and it worked fine. I put paper in and tried to run it through, the entire letterpress unit broke into shards. I was careful to have it on the "Letterpress" setting. It seemed to be cranking through easily. The Evolution Advance didn't come with Plates A or B. All videos I watched talk about using these. I am afraid to run again that it will shred my new Letterpress Unit. | 2 |
great job | 5 |
Flimsy yet very pretty I needed the color | 3 |
Love the color and the material was easy to work with. | 4 |
Use regularly! | 5 |
Yes, great for making soap boxes. Just wished they would make a dispenser to fit all different widths of rolls | 4 |
You may need to check that your machine has an appropriate overlock stitch to get the full effect. My simpler machine did not and I was disappointed. Also check out videos on YouTube for tutorials on how to use this best. They are very helpful. | 4 |
The Pillow box punch board is very nice. The instructions are easy to follow. The price was good also. | 5 |
I got this way earlier than I thought I would. I love when I get things quickly. This item is exactly as described! Love it! | 5 |
leather needles | 4 |
Very nice detail on these stamps, and they show up great. It is a little tricky getting all of the ink out of every knick and groove, but they still work fine if there is a little bit left over. | 5 |
I'm enjoying this stabilizer. Although it's water soluble, it also tears away very easily. I mostly use it as a top floating piece due to the detail and depth of some of the embroidery designs I use. They are very detailed with lots of colors. This helps a lot. And it does wash out well too. | 5 |
Works well as a pin for medical I.d. My daughter has sensory issues and will not wear a necklace but the pin works for a great substitute | 4 |
Not what I expected, but great for the price. | 4 |
It's so much easier to use these then have to cut the size out you need! | 5 |
This set is awesome! So many varieties of thank you! | 5 |
So far, so good | 4 |
Very very cute | 5 |
very nice scissors, I've had them before and they cut very well | 5 |
product received as expected, description accurate for intended use, would recommend product to others buyers, priced nicely, Great for what I needed it for. | 5 |
Very simple for first time users. A decent amount but runs out quickly. The best product available for what it does. | 5 |
Bien | 4 |
Fits both my old vintage singer sewing machines and my newer brother machine. Works well. Better than the .eta feet, you can see thru it and the red guidelines are a help. I would buy from this co again. Good product and good lrice. | 5 |
Perfect!! used for beads.. | 5 |
so nice I like them | 5 |
love it!!!!! | 5 |
Love this paper | 5 |
She said that was the 'Best Gift!' Since I bought the Clover Embroidery Stitching Tool, she has not stopping working and making her designs! We will recommended to our friends!
Thanks;

Some of the needles were rusty when I received it.
I've broken 2 of the needles, which will eventually happen with any needle, but I feel like this was pretty fast to break.
Needles aren't labeled. I'm guessing they are 36.
The handle is nice. I wish I wouls have just bought nicer needles and not this kit. | 2 |
Great concept, but seems to dull quickly. | 4 |
I had to buy five pencil sharpeners before I found one good enough to replace the Panasonic battery powered I'd had for 20 years. Most of these today use a blade rather than a grinder, and only a grinder gives me the point I want. The only satisfactory product is a Staples brand. The Derwent sharpens well but so far has been impossible to open for emptying the shavings!
Such a simple product! Why should it be so hard! | 2 |
Love this everytime i buy it. | 5 |
Love these ordered more they have a very fine hole and small and they make great accent spacer beads to many different necklaces and bracelets. Design looks nice | 5 |
These are super-awesome scissors. They cut everything from thread to thick cardboard and plastic. Love them! | 5 |
Love love the deal I got on these. | 5 |
for the price, happy! But, I don't understand what the raves are about, I found them good, but not great. Again, for the price, they are a very good deal. But as far as quality goes, they aren't that amazing. The one pair (that I use most), it doesn't seem like it will remain sharp for years. So, I'm basing my review on how these SEEM like they will hold up. Right now they are all sharp, the feel good in the hand, and the price, that's fantastic! | 4 |
I bought this to cut simple stencils with the Silhouette Cameo. Unlike everyone else, I was able to get my cameo to cut this. I used Blade 10, Speed 2, Force 33, Passes 7. I would not use this for intricate cuts. I cut out bear silhouettes. My issue is that the plastic is not square & not a full 12x12. If you need it to be 12x12, you are out of luck. I'm basing the squareness when put the sheet on the silhouette cut mat. I if i aligned the left and right vertical sides, then i was short on the top left and bottom right, so not square edges and not a full 12x12. | 2 |
I wanted to love this, but it was SO frustrating I returned it. I purchased this for the main purpose of creating professional quality glossy white vinyl decal stickers featuring my own artwork. It seems that this is the one thing it truly CAN NOT do. The Print and Cut features only work on matte papers and matte vinyl. It can't even be luster or slightly shiny! For resale, I don't find matte stickers appealing. I tried every cheat and trick I came across online but stickers still either came out misaligned or the machine refused to cut entirely. The scanner doesn't work with gloss because of the reflective qualities so it can't see the cut lines.
A few other cons that ultimately lead to my return of this product. So not only did it not work for what I wanted to make, the machine and online design studio only allow for a cut area of 6 inches by 9 inches! Now, if you're buying expensive sticker paper or vinyl it probably comes in 8.5x11" and everything outside 6"x9" is waste. I have NO idea why this is, since the machine can accommodate a 12"x12" mat just fine.
Another huge con is the machine constantly loses connection to the design studio- both while using bluetooth and USB connection. I have to refresh, disconnect, turn off, restart over and over to get it to see the connection again.
The machine can't cut without THE INTERNET. Now, if you have a spotty connection like I do, this is SO aggravating especially on top of the connectivity issues it already has, as mentioned above. You can only cut from the Cricut ONLINE design center and you can't do it offline or by simply just downloading software.
So final thoughts, aesthetically it looks adorable and it cuts really well! It just doesn't meet ANY of my other needs. I was SO excited when I got this but spent 3 or 4 whole days fighting with it and wasting tons of expensive papers only to be left with nothing to show for. I'm returning it to try the Silhouette Cameo 3. I've heard it might be able to do what I need. We'll see how it goes! | 2 |
This is a nice little sampler package of different types of adhesives packaged in a nice little box. So why the three star rating? Sadly they are all sampler sized and not full size, all tapes in disposable containers, so there's a tremendous amount of waste.
The double-sided tape works well but comes in a cardboard dispenser that was somewhat crushed and that made it difficult to use. The disposable sticker maker has 10 feet of 1" wide adhesive. Quick to use and no way to refill. What a waste! The tape runner came with 20 feet of 5/16" tape but again, toss after use. The clear hold adhesive is a small bottle and contains 0.75 ounces of glue. Also included are 189 Thick black foam squares (0.4 x 0.4") and an adhesive eraser. All of this comes in a cardboard gift-type box with a magnetic closure making this about the only refillable item in the whole kit!
The quality of the products themselves are good. They work very well and I was pleased with the performance of everything. The eraser is a very nice addition to the craft room. How many times I could have used it in the past!! I love the sticker maker, but hate all the waste with it. The glue works well and so do the tapes. Oh and the foam squares... They are soooo cool~ The create lovely 3-D pieces that look so neat head on, but a bit strange from the side view. These make me think of all the 3-D paper art that was popular in the 70's!!
My suggestion would be to bypass the kit and buy the products you would like to use, unless you prefer samples to try out first before the "big" purchase. This would also make a nice gift for the crafter that you're really not sure what to give. It would introduce some possible new items and besides, what crafter doesn't need adhesives? | 3 |
The only problem I have is that I wish I would have ordered every size they make. Shipping was on time and packaging was perfect. These beads are some of the most beautiful beads I have purchased. I'll be back. | 5 |
I use these chipboard pieces as a rigid backer to ship original artwork. I'm able to save on shipping by including this because it keeps the envelopes from being bent (and the artwork from being damaged). | 5 |
Very excellent quality. It is so soft! Perfect for baby blankets! | 5 |
Perfect. Although, I knew exactly what I was purchasing. I already use these for storing my beads and was in need of a couple more. | 5 |
They are ok, I expected different | 4 |
PERFECT FOR MY PROJECT | 5 |
Excellent quality paint for those little white highlights that make a painting stand out | 5 |
When I first saw this book years ago, I loved every counterpane in it. I started making one, and then lost the book. I am so glad to see it in print again. It is full of beautiful designs. One could use parts of these designs for edgings, etc if one didn't wish to make a whole bedspread. (I think most of the counterpanes call for small size knitting needles, like "0" or "00". I know my metal ones are bent from making multistitch popcorns, etc.) | 5 |
Very nice rondells | 5 |
I used the whole roll in a day on all my rulers and they do not move while i am cutting. I prefer this to the little silicone bits that you can attach to the bottom of a ruler. I find that they interfere with my measuring and cutting of thin or small squares. I took them all off my notions and have been using the invisible grip instead. | 5 |
great product for crafting I will buy again | 5 |
Excellent product, I recommend it to everyone. | 5 |
broke a few hours after use. | 2 |
Nice wooden embroidery hoop but I really think 3 inches is way to tiny to really embroider with unless you have really small borders. When I got them my first thought was "OH NO" "I Have Lost My Mind", My next thought was "I can never let my daughter see them cause she thinks I am batty to begin with. She will send me to an old age home and have me chipped if she sees these hoops. I got 2 of them of course. She doesn't embroider or do counted cross stitch so I plan on using this as my defense. Before you order these make sure you look at a ruler for what 3 inches looks like, I wish I had. Truth be told, I did know I was buying small for stitching borders, but maybe not this small, but it will work. They are more for framing something small you embroidered. Because of the price you are not going to think they are worth returning. Darice Wood Embroidery Hoop 3" | 4 |
Perfect! Fast shipping great price! Exactly what I wanted. Thank you Nice! | 5 |
Works as described | 5 |
I needed this for the Tim Holtz die I got at the same time. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but I am happy that I have it. I watched a you tube tutorial on it and am excited to try it my self. | 5 |
YUP! This blade is amazing. I was told in a Cricut group to buy this blade if I wanted to get better intricate cuts. I actually went to a brand store and bought it, but then seen it here for 1/2 the price. So, I bought this one and will be returning the other one to the store.
I have been using my Cricut machine a lot lately for vinyl or paper projects. Buying this German blade, you can't go wrong.
I recommend this for any Cricut machine crafter. | 5 |
these work great | 5 |
Fun Set to use with Stamping Gear | 5 |
These stickers are just beautiful. I've been using them on homemade Christmas Cards. I have a Christmas Tree stamp that I use, and then add these on top of the stamp, along with a few dots of Stickles, to "decorate" the tree - they're so pretty! I've also used them on black tags with a "snowy" chipboard branch glued on, then added these to the branch - they really stand out beautifully against a black background. I'm glad I purchased 3 packages - that gives me plenty to make several Christmas Cards. They're very well made, good quality. | 5 |
I bought this for my students to use for illuminated manuscripts. They love the fact that they get to use real gold and it gives them a sense of pride in their work. It works very well enough that teens can use it easily, though I have to be sure to tell them to only touch the paper because it's so thin and fine, the gold will stick to your fingers and tear the paper. I add a tiny drop of blue pigment to the adhesive so students can see where they've applied it, and it's worked well. | 5 |
I love these pens. I use them for my mixed media art. | 5 |
These zippers are great and you cannot beat the price. They are perfect for making cosmetic bags, and pockets in purses. | 5 |
This is a great gift for a child. I bought one last year for my 10 year old grand daughter and now my 7 year old grand daughter has asked for one for Christmas. I hope she enjoys it as much as her sister has. This is nice for learning the basics of weaving. The seller had this to me within a few days of ordering and my grand daughter will enjoy using it.
This is not something they can figure out for themselves though, it does take some assistance from a grown up. It is a nice opportunity to show them something that is fairly easy once they get the basic instructions. | 5 |
This book is filled with all kinds of projects to knit in lace: shawls, sweaters, scarves, accessories for the house, purses, and even gloves. The book provides helpful tips for knitting lace such as a crochet guide, blocking techniques, tips for washing. There are projects varied in difficulty and some are charted and others are written out and charted both. There are many beautiful patterns in this book, several of which I hope to knit. My favorite is Sarah Hatton's Beechwood Sweater with two lace panels on the top of a pull-over. Naturally, this pattern is written out as I don't do well with charts. The Dulcie Tunic, designed by Amanda Jones, is also beautiful, knit with a lace center and bottom on a pull-over sweater. There are wonderful shawls in this book for those of us who love to knit these. The designers are varied with many that are new to me. However, their taste is sublime for the most part.
There are some projects that don't really speak to me but, for the most part, this is an excellent selection of patterns. I would recommend this book for the more experienced lace knitter. It is not really appropriate for beginners. | 5 |
I had to turn most of the dials to maximum and I have to say it was pretty easy to get it to my size and measurements! The range of measurements provided with the product description is accurate. It was really easy to set up. The body is pretty good quality where I had no problems pinning material on it. Although the base is made of plastic, I really didn't find it unstable - quite on the contrary. It is so refreshing to hang my projects on this as I can now caste a more informed eye. It also makes working with sleeves so much more easier too. Whether you are a seasoned sewer or a newbie, to get good results, you really need to work with the dress form. For this price, it is well worth it. | 5 |
love this | 5 |
Love, Love, Love this rotary cutter. Nice to not have to remember to cover the blade before laying it down. | 5 |
This review is for the Martha Stewart Edger Stars. I bought this along with a couple of other Martha Stewart decorative edger punches. The other two work fine on manila stock; the "stars" one does not work at all on that material. It does work on heavy scrapbook paper and standard printer paper so if you don't need to punch anything heavier than that this will work fine. It is a cute edge. | 2 |
Not as high quality as I would have liked, but great buy for the price. | 4 |
I love chiaogoo needles in general, they are my favorite brand of metal circulars. It's nice to be able to find the size I need and get them within a couple days | 5 |
I received this one but it is not the one I ordered. I wanted the one with the arms that are both straighter, rather than bent. I don't mind because she is good enough to suit my needs. I bought her to fit and style costumes that I am making for our Caribbean Carnival band TTTEvolution. Her size is US 0-2, or US XS-S. Her color is more warm toned, like olive, so I named her Olivia. Her features are realistic, and depending on the hair (wig) and how you style her, she can be of any ethnicity. She also has eyelashes (like strip lashes), not painted on ones. She was easy to assemble, and came with two very synthetic long, light density wigs (black and brown) chosen by the seller. This mannequin is made of plastic, so she is lightweight. Her base stand is made of metal. She arrived in good condition, and so far I have not had any problems with her. I find that when I angled the bar that connects to her calf to the front of the stand, and positioned Olivia that way, I noticed that she stands up straighter, and thus is more sturdy.
On another note: In the beginnng, when I first got her, she used to scare me as she was just standing there! LOL! I would turn around and be startled, or walking around at night with the lights off, I would freak seeing her silhouette. Hahahahaha! That doesn't happen anymore though now that I am accustomed to her being there.
I want to also address the shipping - the shipping on these types on items sometimes will cost you close to the actual price of the item. This seller did not include any protective packing material to ensure that the pieces didn't suffer any damage during delivery. I was surprised at that, especially for how much the shipping cost. Anyway, I was just glad that not of Olivia's parts were damaged. | 4 |
This is a fabulous ink pad. Works like new everytime and provides good coverage without smears or smudges. I am very happy with this brand. | 5 |
Exactly as advertised - beautiful | 5 |
This little tool never leaves my sewing machine. I'm not a very advanced sewist but this guide makes all my seam lines me look like a pro! | 5 |
Good Carving tools, handles are nice, metal blades seem secure in the handles. Excellent assortment of tools. The only problem is the blades are honed poorly. It takes a 400 grit stone to get them back in shape. 1000 grit stone will take hours. However I feel it is good to develop your honing skills on a cheaper set than to mess up a top of the line set sharpening. I have sharpened a few of them to razor sharpness and they do keep there edges well.
Highly recommend for the beginner. You will have a basic set while collecting the top of the line carving tools. If you are not interested in learning to sharpen your tools pass these up. However you will need to learn to sharpen the tools. Many online sites teach sharpening,
The five starts means you get a lot of tools for your money. They certainly are not "top of the line" but when sharpened you could have a good set . Considering the great tools cost upward at 35 dollars a tool. | 5 |
I know the Project Life line has been out for a couple of years now - but I have just gotten started in it -- I am very excited about this system! | 5 |
Very nice brushes for the price! | 5 |
This is my second order of these wonderful cutting blades. They are superior to anything I have ever used! They cut cleanly and last a long time. One thing to watch, I inadvertently loaded two blades at once- that doesn't work very well!!! | 5 |
I like this product. | 5 |
I really love this cutting mat. It feels like your cutting through butter and I don't see any signs of where I have been cutting unlike other self healing mats. | 5 |
This works great, just wish it went past 99. Also you have to supply your own string (not a huge deal) | 4 |
I purchased one of these to give it a try, and I loved the feel in your hand and you can use it with pencil or knife hold. Then I used it on a project, here comes the but, there is just something not quite right with the hook shape, mades it harder for me to crochet, I expected that I would adjust and get use to the difference, but just seems like it was harder to insert and hold on to the yarn. If you compare this hook to the Clover soft touch you can see the difference. The shape of the tip and the depth before the hook is different, and this difference shows up when you try to crochet. If you are new to crochet, you will not notice, but I have used the Clover soft touch for a long time and as much as I love the handle of this one, I am not going to change over, it is just easier and faster for me with the Clover hook. Both this one and the Clover have too short of a tip to do some types of crochet, but I keep a couple of the Addi colored coded around for those times, they have a nice long tip that will hold lots of stitches, but the handle is not as nice as the Tulip Etimo or the Clover soft touch. If someone would just make one with the hook from the Addi color coded and the handle of the Tulip Etimo, that would be the best! | 4 |
