Best tool for applique. Love it. | 5 |
Hard to snap together. Cheaper looking in person than I expected. From a distance looks OK, but up close looks like the cheap plastic it is. Will work for the project I needed them for, but will look for something that looks nicer up close. Had to put a book on top and press down with all my weight to get it to snap together. | 3 |
Perfect. Great selection of colors. Very nice quality zippers. Have ordered from this company many times and have never had a bad zipper. This is my go to place for bulk zippers. Thanks guys | 5 |
It's very pretty, I like it so much, I used it for girls of any age, birthday cards, to say hello, thanks, invitations, looks cheerful, and if you use with white cardstock, looks elegant too... | 5 |
I saw this Dritz Sweater Stone on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I had purchased an "as seen on TV" gadget that had a little fan with blades in it that was supposed to cut the litt pills off my sweaters,but I could never get the thing to work, so I decided to go with something more basic...a stone that was rubbed across the sweater or shirt. I was in a huge hurry and did not read the reviews. I figured that Dritz was a well known company and all would be well. I always DO get into trouble when I pass on reading reviews that all the good hearted Amazon people have written!
I have used pumice stones to smooth the rough spots on my feet and figured that this Pumice Stone was probably something similar...a grey piece of Pumice that one swept back and forth over the sweater or shirt with pills, and the rough edges of the Pumice Stone would catch the pills and pull them off the article of clothing with the problem. Well, my theory was correct, but the actual workings of this Clothing Stone are not as simple as the type of Pumice used on feet.
This Pumice for Clothing Care looks like one would expect Volcanic Pumice to look...black and dirty. This block of Pumice arrives in a square package very neatly and cleanly packaged in a cardboard package. Once the package is removed, particles of black pumice go everywhere. You touch it with your fingers and there goes black dust on your floor and counter. You use the Stone as per instructions and rub it back and forth across the article of clothing with pills on it and 1. The Pumice Stone DOES immediately and very effectively remove the pills from the clothing, but wihile doing so it 2. Distributes little tiny particles of black Pumice Stone all over the floor, the counter, into the cat's supper sitting innocently on the floor, and into every crevace of tile that you have on you floor. If the tile has little holes in it, this pumice will find those holes and burrow into them so that it is danged near impossible to remove them. You can either steam clean the pumice out of the tile, or you can scrub the tile/wood/linoleum (or whatever you have put down as flooring material) until your smooth little hands look like the washwoman's who is a character in an old fashioned English Novel, perhaps HARD TIMES, and you still will not be able to get all that black stuff off the floor. My goodness. What a disaster!...of sorts. On the one hand, those nasty pills that you detest are gone, gone, gone! On the other hand, you have now created a problem that makes the pills seem like a pleasure to deal with!
I was absolutely Floored by the mess I created. I had one T-shirt in my hand when I decided to try out the Pumice Stone. It was made partly of Polyester and had pills all over it. So, I leaned back against the sink and tok a swipe with the Stone. A HUGE shower of black dandruff hit my white tile floor, made a black film on the cats' bowl of water, and gave a new layer of flavor to their dinner. I mean, I was JUST trying to fix a T-Shirt. As if in a daze, I swiped off another row of pills on the shirt. Another black snowfall landed all over the bathroom floor. Finally, I figured this conumdrum out. I stepped into my bathtub and rubbed all the pills off the shirt. Then I scrubbed out the bathtub and washed my feet off. I used a spray bathroom cleaner on both my feet and the tub.(Once out of the tub, I had to clean up the mess I had iadvertently made during my initial attemps to use the Pumice stone. That took much longer than just swishing it down the tub drain. Ugh)
But, now I have figured out how to successfully used the Stone, which gives the wished for results of removing the pills: either you clean your clothing while standing in a tub or shower so that a quick clean up may be accomplished afterwards, or one should go out into the great outdoor where dirt is an accepted phenomonenon when using this item. I WILL NOT blithely go about using it in a clean room of my home ever again!
So, in the end the Pumice Stone DOES work, but it takes a bit a trouble to use it. Well, make that "quite a bit of trouble." I will probably go ahead and get the pills off the sweaters and t-shirts that I now have with pills on them. I am not at all certain that I will buy a Pumice Stone for any further pills that may develop. I may try a bit more diligently to get the "As seen on TV" thing to work. That may be a problem a s simple as proper placement of batteries and then I shall never have to consider the Stone again. Would I recommend this to a friend? "NO, I would not...at least not without a great deal of explanation first!" I might recommend it to an enemy if I was having a fairly awful day and wanted a chance to "kick the cat!" But it would have to be a really bad day because I just try not to be horrid. But, it would be a good thing to be horrid with! So, IF you just can find no other way to deal with the pills, then you may have to use this. But, let's all look for something more reasonable before we try this again!!!!! | 3 |
This is my choice when doing small sculptures. Easy to use, easy to smooth, easy to texture and much finer quality than most paper mache. Worth the extra $$. | 5 |
Great as usual. | 5 |
this product works great with colored pencils. I was having a hard time finding this item and of course I come to Amazon for everything. I use the spectrum noir colored pencils and this helps with blending them and giving them a more vibrant look. It almost give them an alcohol marker look. Would definitely repurchase again. | 5 |
Like a lot | 5 |
for my use and I am grateful. Thanks. | 5 |
I looked everywhere for this brush. You had the best price! Thank you. I love the Series 7 brushes. | 5 |
it is what it is and do so the job | 5 |
Worked great to cover all the windows for the Christmas production. Good thick quality! | 5 |
Good little spray booth. You definitely need the extension hose though. Sets up very easy, but instructions are confusing, yet humorous, good draw by the vacuum and is a decent size. I do have plans on buying a second. {After I purchase an extension hose for the first.} | 4 |
Second order of beads from this company where the beads I received look nothing like the picture. The beads I received were all a pale yellow and had none of the differing depth of yellow color the picture had. | 1 |
This Kaleidascope Triangle Ruler is very easy to use. It only goes up to a 12" block but it does a great job. The markings on it are helpful to remind you how much to cut the strips of fabric. | 5 |
This is a great repositionable glue! We used this to add circles to an item of clothing. The circles came off without leaving a residue. When we apply this glue, we unscrew the cap, stick a toothpick inside the bottle and apply a thin coat of the glue to our project. If something had more glue than desired, we picked up that piece and used it to spread the glue on the other pieces that did not have glue! We let the glue dry which did not take that long and we placed the circles on the clothing. The glue is white but after it is dry, the glue is clear.
Using the toothpick, we barely had glue on our hands which made clean up a breeze. We use a toothpick with all of our bottled glues because it is easier to apply and better to control than using the glue's nozzle. | 5 |
I have used these detail brushes for over a year now, and they are still going strong! No bristles falling out. One brush did have a manufacturing defect, so I contacted the company about it. They were amazing with their customer service! Replacement brushes were fine. I have been greatly enjoying using them and seeing how much detail and fine-lining I can do with them. The handles are a nice, short length--but comfortable to hold--and silky smooth. They clean up pretty well. Would definitely recommend! | 5 |
love this yarn | 5 |
Love liquitex products. This was a little pricey but needed it for a project. | 5 |
These are a great help when blocking a knitted item. | 5 |
for the price, can't beat it. | 5 |
Well, these are about as expected, except for the 1/4" spec. These are over 1/4" however you slice it. Call them "nominal quarter-inch" or something, because they will easily accommodate 1/4" material, but they're larger than that. The screws don't like to fully engage into the barrels unless you persuade them, but even after that, there's still more than 1/4" between the flanges. 5/16" at least. The post is in fact longer than a quarter inch. Just an FYI. | 3 |
I bought the S2- 157 the bigger single dragonfly too. This comes in a set of two and half the size of the bigger dragonfly .
These dies too cut very clean and looks pretty. | 5 |
These are definitely great quality but the soaps themselves are ideal for hand soaps or guest soaps. Not for body. | 5 |
Where has this been all my life??!! Great Product & Great Value! | 5 |
For an acrylic, I love this yarn. The color combinations are excellent - to my eye - and the resulting items look great. It's easy to work with, soft, and a lovely bulky weight. I haven't knitted with it, yet, only crocheted. It does split a bit, so knitters who knit tightly might have to really pay attention not to split the strands. I've made hats and scarves so far - love them. | 5 |
good for our show | 5 |
I wanted to create a flock of tiny birds (to use as beads) and this product worked just fine. Easy to manipulate (I have arthritis in my hands), dries fairly quickly (I live in the southern USA with high humidity) and is hard when dried. Perfect for a miniature flock of birds. | 5 |
great knitting needles. great size for all this crazy teeny projects i seem to do all the time. a must have. | 5 |
Right thickness, Fantastic price. I am very happy with the product. much better than what I have been using. I will buy more If they don't sell out. | 5 |
Great tool! Produces beautiful effects with colored pencils. Love that there's a fine point on one end and a wide tip on the other. | 5 |
Just perfect. They fit in perfectly in many designs. Must buy more. Fast shipping | 5 |
Nice color variety and nice amount of yarn for the price. I'm satisfied! | 5 |
Works fairly well although I have to unwind some of the thread or my brother se400 gets testy and does not maintain good tension | 4 |
Great pens for stained glass and fused glass artists as the water does not wash the ink off right away. | 5 |
Worked exactly as described! | 5 |
I am excited about the Bamboo knitting needles and have used several sizes to knit gifts for my family. The feel of the Bamboo is very comfortable in my hands. I have slight arthritis in my fingers, and the warmth of the bamboo helps to lessen the ache when I knit too long. I would recommend bamboo knitting needles for any crafter. | 5 |
This is a must have for anyone that uses 15J bobbins, the price was great! I have almost filled all my slots with embroidery thread. Thank u Amazon | 5 |
this stuff is awesome | 5 |
This holds all my yarn and my sweater, plus pockets for smaller things. Very handy. | 5 |
Clover is the best brand for all seeing notions. Very high quality. | 5 |
Im a professional colored pencil artist and I'm always trying new papers. First, it's true this isn't true Bristol. The surface on both sides is more like vellum and nice and heavy and very white. It's one of the best surfaces I've ever drawn on. Nice and toothy but a tight tooth no large peeks and valley. Tighter than Stonehenge but more than like a hot pressed watercolor paper. I've tried every paper brand and make available except for a few and I swear by this. It's awesome! I'd have given 5 stars except for the fact that they shouldn't call it "Bristol". | 4 |
keeps the embroidery on top and keeps the fabric clean until I am ready to use it | 5 |
Theyre ok. Not worth the price though | 2 |
I love having the perfect scissors for a project. I have three pair of Fiskar scissors shaped like this. They are all wonderfully sharp and easy to manipulate. These Titanium Nitride Scissors are the sharpest of all three and cut through the wool that I use for applique like cutting through butter. They cut wool better than any other scissors I own. They also cut into corners and V's right down to the tip of the scissors. They work great on paper, too, although I save the Titanium scissors for fabric. | 5 |
LOVE this stamp even though it's hard to get a good image. I have to apply the paper to the stamp instead of the stamp to paper. | 5 |
Great for storing all kinds of small items. I use them for a jewel box for earrings, for beading necessities, & all kinds of small items. Have accumulated at least a dozen of these or some very similar. Also have given some to 2 daughter in laws, & they love them. | 5 |
works well enough. sometimes the tape doesn't always come out on the 1st or even 2nd try, but it'll do for me. | 4 |
This is great for beading on a top or any fabric~ not for jewelry! | 4 |
this paper works great, make great shirts | 5 |
I love the fun colors! Great for little projects. I use them for crocheting. | 5 |
This is a nice bow maker. It does very small to medium size bows. I use it lots and it doesn't take up too much space. The pegs stay in and there are not parts or special ties to buy. Good product. | 5 |
Wanted this item for a while. Finally ordered. Works great for what I need. It does the job. Great item. | 5 |
Beautiful additions to many projects. Letting your eyes stroll through these snippits will give you great creative ideas- | 5 |
There is more to this die set than meets the eye. Yes, you get a set of lovely decorative ovals, but you ALSO get smooth ovals. If you place all the ovals on one piece of paper, you get a number of frames. I love this set. | 5 |
this stuff is magic! bought it to use on unmounted rubber stamps, works on other stuff too | 5 |
Handy to have... | 5 |
Honestly there was a lot more junk pieces than usable pieces for me. | 2 |
Very pleased with the blades and price. | 4 |
It was good to find actual chalk still available. I need it for old fashion chalk board at church. | 5 |
These are great | 5 |
Nice and thin but bends very easily. Not for pinning thru too many layers | 4 |
just as advertised, mine was molded with beeswax in the brick, but the letters were not inset, but on outset. exaclty what I wanted. | 5 |
good but not strong image | 4 |
Very happy with my purchase. Great product | 5 |
Works pretty well. Especially after having had zero luck with the printed toner method. Some of the edges were a little jagged, or I'd give 5 stars. It has a nice flow and goes on smoothly. | 4 |
Dritz has great sewing pins!!!
(Don't try those cheap imitations! They bend and won't go into the fabric. Never had that problem with Dritz!)
Go DRITZ!!! | 5 |
Excellent. | 5 |
Best snips ever! I bought these to go in my travel sewing kit. They are super pointed and sharp, and the spring action is great. Soft on my old hands. Highly recommended! | 5 |
Heavy. Not for anyone with arthritis or some kind of hand disability. | 3 |
I bought 4 sizes in gold and in silver. Great Deal, great value, great price, fast shipping. | 5 |
Gift, never heard any complaints | 4 |
boring. | 2 |
Sewing vinyl used to make me want to tear my hair out *cue terrible infomercial actors* but this fot is a damn life changer.
Works with my brother se425 | 5 |
Nice buttons. | 5 |
gorgeous colors -better than pictures | 5 |
Great price and it shipped fast . And no postage that's a great bargain right there.
This not only makes a beautiful hydrangea but it makes beautiful baby's breath. And any little flower you can think of it can make . | 5 |
Got our first Cricut about a month ago (also ordered the Cricut tool set) and while doing some initial testing and craft building, it became clear that the spatula was one of the most necessary tools, and that it would become the bottleneck on preparation of any reasonably sized project.
Thus, we ordered a second spatula as soon as possible. can't wait to start doing more with the Cricut | 4 |
Best pens for Bible journaling that I have found. | 5 |
bought for a gift. | 3 |
while I don't yet need more cutting mats, I like keeping backups in case I mess up one of my mats, and they are awesome when I have multiple trays to load so I can just load one while I am weeding another. These are an amazing price for two mats. | 5 |
Well this jumbo giant does the job on my uniform. I wish it had a little pouch for storage because it comes with a couple small parts that's easy to get lost. | 4 |
Very nice items. Sturdy and easy to open and apply on jewelry items. The color & texture are nice also. | 5 |
I thought it would be faster than a regular stitch ripper, and I've also got a razor tip ripper which you need to be very careful with. This ripper was okay. Perhaps I need more practice with it! | 3 |
took a while to get here, but luv them. | 4 |
nice but not as soft as the others I've bought | 4 |
Beautiful color, lovely to work with. It's Windsor & Newton...not sure you have to say more than that. | 5 |
These are great and my youngling digs them because they are her favorite color. | 5 |
I love how well this cord stays together. No Fraying. | 5 |
Once again, I'm glad I came to Amazon. I was checking these in a craft and hobby store and they are about twice the price there. I wanted something a little stronger that can cut through fleece or multiple layers so that I am not constantly replacing my 45mm blades. I think this will be a good fit. | 5 |
all is good | 5 |
Get one... you will not regret it. Just make sure to watch a few videos on it because the written directions are ... odd. The videos can SHOW you that this little tool is precisely what you were looking for. Totally worth having. | 5 |
I got this as a gift for Christmas.
I haven't started spinning this yet, but it is a lovely consistent color and very soft. I'll update my review after I spin some up. | 4 |
Like this watercolor paper, thanks | 5 |
EXCELENTE PRODUCTO | 5 |
I loved every single one of the Clover hooks I've bought. They're super comfortable and of perfect size for my hands. People with bigger hands might find them a bit too small. | 5 |
Exactly what I was looking for to make ornaments for our friends and family this Christmas. | 5 |
What's to say, they are airbrush jars for paint. They work as expected, none were broken in the package. If you need some extra paint jars these will serve the purpose. You might want to get a couple of the lids that have the airbrush connector while your ordering jars. | 5 |
Nice assortment. Very pleased with the product. Arrived in a timely manner. | 5 |
