I love woodless colored pencils, but this brand is way inferior to my set of Koh-I-Noor Progressos. Sent them back
2
I am a sculptor and was sculpting a horse with some interesting spots. Instead of doing a solid color and then painting white over the darker base color, I decided to use this Frisket over several coats of white primer, then spraying the base colors on over the Frisket. Even after the base coat dried I could still see where the Frisket was applied. With some small sharp tools I removed the dried Frisket. It worked VERY well! Then all I had to do was hand paint in all my details with oils and apply a protective coating over all. Great results!

As described...could probably get cheaper at Joanns with coupons but very pleased with quality and color selection.

Have not had a chance to try using yet. Not sure, after looking at this tool it is what I need. I am new to this craft, so will know more after I use it.
4
This is good for the price, the plastic compartments included don't work so don't use them. The tools are fair the round pliers used for making jump rings and other circular items with wire don't hold up and they have a side to side motion that better pliers do not have. The nippers are not great they also have a side to side motion and are not made for much more than nipping/cutting plastic or nylon cords. The wire cutters could be a bit more delicate. The tweezers are nice for picking up beads as well as the scoop. All in all I am not having horrible issues with them and I am using most of the tools. I would recommend it to start you off and then replace each with a higher quality piece.

love love love.very easy to use and straight to the point
5
This embossing powder does exactly what its supposed to do. I will definitely purchase it again when I need more.
5
The ink dries out pretty quick and the transfer is too light.
1
old, reliable for jewelry making
5
I wish I had this years ago to fix broken jewelry!! How cool the ring that opens and closes the jump rings is included inside!
5
UGH! Not very creamy, have to work at it to get coverage just overall very disappointed. Would not recommend this product at all as there are much better pencils out there for about the same price. Recommend you shop around.
2
I only use these in my machine!
5
When I first bought these, I thought that they could be sharper. However, after using them for a couple of weeks, I find that they are sharp enough to meet my needs. And for the low price, you can't beat these scissors! They fit together precisely and seem well-made. Their small size makes them great for on-the-go projects and for storing them in my purse. I couldn't wait to write this review since it's rare that I find such a great value when online shopping! UPDATE: I've been using these scissors frequently for a year and a half and they still work perfectly. They seem as sharp now as when I bought them.

These are a pleasure to use. Great for me since I'm new to the craft of crochet.

I am a Bates girl to the end, I cannot use a Boye hook, but whether you like inline or tapered hooks, these are the best of both worlds, that's why everyone raves about them. So lightweight, they glide through yarn with no drag, and the softgrip handle helps take pressure off the wrist and prevents digging in the palm. I would recommend the Amour line for people who use a knife hold, and the Clover Soft Touch for anyone who uses pencil grip if you're trying to decide. This set goes from B to J, and unfortunately the larger sizes only come in plastic. I guess the only negative thing I have to say. I keep my larger Bates hooks because I prefer aluminum, but I do have a Clover plastic hook, and as far as plastic goes, they're quality hooks, just wish they would offer both. I love that this set has sizes inbetween those offered in the Bates set. Bottom line, these hooks are amazing, one of my best purchases!
5
These are AWESOME snips. I have 3-4 pair.
5
Love this product. Very sticky and useful when making mini albums
5
Good hard pastels for a great price. Nice variety of colors
4
Well made. Holds medium sized spools of thread.
5
This was an add on item sold at a very reasonable price. This is a quality knife and the large size can handle mixing larger amounts of mediums. I would recommend this item to crafters & mixed media artists.
4
Good pattern. Directions a bit confusing if you haven't made purses before.
4
This cord is not white. I recieved a cord that is more ivory in color and it is thinner than what the picture depicts. I'm sure I'll find a use for it though. I really don't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so decided to just keep it and use it on a future project. Arrived on time.
5
Nice to have 3 size choices. Am using all three sizes on 3 different rings. Helps my rings from flipping around.
5
Very happy with order
5
The whole point of the cup with lid for a newbie like me is the ability to not spill from the cup- the lid on the cup is kind of pointless as it pops off anytime you move it. Otherwise the flow seems good and it seems well made

Now these are the Velcro fasteners that I was looking for when I ordered the wrong thing about two weeks ago and of course that item wasn't able to be returned!, the name Velcro threw me off but Im happy with this product I know they don't like these kind of reviews but this is what I have to say ! Only thing that I can warn others about is be careful when you purchase an item by its name brand and not by its character description Velcro is a namebrand is use for a lot of other things besides the hook and latch fasteners
5
I love them! can not wait to use them.
5
Makes great socks or shawls
5
Fab scissors!
5
Has all the words I needed and in diff shapes!!! Like!!
4
The tips are nice and sharp. I bought these for socks and the cable is a little too grabby for that. I'm sure they'd be great for lace since it can slip off the needle easily so the grabby cable would be good. I wanted to try them out and may buy a set in a larger size for lace.
3
This medium weight works for almost everything. I thought precut was paying for convenience, but really there is less waste.
5
I little small for my big hands. You might want to go up a size.
4
I was ecstatic when I heard about this product, because it seemed too good to be true..... and it was, I bypassed the microwave, and melted this stuff using a wax melter. It worked perfectly, and after a few trial and error runs, it produced a decent mold with minimal airbubbles. Then I tried to cast plaster in it. And the material messed with the plaster as it dried, causing the surface to never harden. So I tried to cast portland cement into it. And the inside of the mold turned to a gel like mush that was unsalvageable. So I tried to cast simple paraffin wax in a new mold. And 3 wax casts later, my mold had lost major detail due to melting. This material is useful only to people interested in using cold cast resins, and even then I would look elsewhere, because this material has major issues with surface bubbles.

I got this paint for a project. I love the color alot. It has very nice coverage also.
5
I have two embroidery machines and am able to finish a project much faster with the use of extra hoops. I can hoop all my project materials and be on my way to completion. Although I have no need for the large hoop at this time, this set was cheaper than buying the 3 hoops separately.
5
bought 2 sets- my cousin and I just love the ease in using it and a perfect pom pom
5
I've used many different brands of glazes with various outcomes, but Speedball Earthenware at cone 05 has never let me down...Hope Amazon keeps the prices low
5
It's okay. That's all.

i ordered satin this is not satin fabric. i know what i clicked on.

Preferring at times to have everything in one box, I love this unit, but some may prefer the thinner Sienna models. I have the separate brush holder that mounts on the tripod also. The color finish, and detailed fine woodwork is a pleasure. I like that it holds wet panels also, but some may prefer to carry them separately. I bought separate Sienna panel holders also. Again, if you're the type wanting everything at hand, in one box, this is great, but you could opt for their other thinner models itch less room for paints, solvents, brushes, etc.
5
these are quality pencils!
5
A bit too prickly to hold but does its job.
4
mat works perfectly for cricut and Silhouette Cameo ;)
5
This is such a wonderful addition to my artwork. I have used it on the background, and layered papers and embellishments over the flourishes; I've also used it on top of various paper layers and focal designs, and it's equally fabulous.
5
Arrived fast, works great on card stock. it makes crisp cut edges, quality equipment. I will only buy EK because they are trouble free.
5
I like this combination of folder (the candles) and cutting die (messages plus a candle and a couple of stars) for birthday cards (see customer image above for an example using the text 'Make a Wish'). The folder works well on regular card stock, but for something special try it on mirror stock (shiny on one side, white on the other). The messages are quite useful, although the 'Sorry I Missed it' is a bit small and hard to read. I also wish Cuttlebug had spelled out 'Happy Birthday' instead of settling for 'Happy BDay.' Sizzix has a 'Happy Birthday' die that works with the Cuttlebug machine: Sizzix Sizzlits Singles Die-Medium Phrase Happy Birthday #3 although you have to be careful to apply enough pressure to cut out all of the curly bits on the letters.

The box itself is good enough. Good size. My problem is that the sections don't fit properly! The inserts that make the sections aren't all made to fit, it seems. They won't snap into place every time. It's not easy to close the box snugly because the dividers won't clear the lid cleanly. Poke ups. Looseness. Warped plastic. If you need a reliable case with sections, don't buy this one. That's my advice. Take it or leave it.

This will save me money in buying bias tape and now my binding can match my projects!!! Great idea for sewers!!
5
These pads are so cool I have bought several types!!
4
This rotary cutter works well. I gave it only 4 stars because it does cause a bit of strain on my wrist. The better one is the OLFA 45mm Deluxe Handle Rotary Cutter because it has a bit of an angle to the cutting surface.
4
I don't know why, but I expecting this cord to be a little thicker. It's really nice, though. I know I'll get some good use out of it. It's more of an off-white than white, if that's important to you.
5
A very nice brush that is fairly sturdy. It doesn't have a lot of bend in it. It holds it's shape. I think that makes it easier to control the placing of the paint.
5
A good quality gesso (Jesso) There are better choices, but still a good choice for the value minded. But please be warned, this stuff is THICK. That can be bad or good. For me I like it, as I can thin it if neccessary. It does not appear to be thickened due to age but more of just the way this product comes.
4
Sharp and long, but too thin. Would probably be fine if you just used them for quilting--fabric/batting sandwich--but not good for anything that's not lightweight. I use the same pins for ALL my sewing, and these aren't cutting it for me.
3
I was amazed at the range of colors. The thread is good quality. My only problem was fining the end because of the way it was tucked into the bobbin.
5
Joanna carries same product on notions wall. A coupon makes the price come down substantially.
5
Looks like I will be buying more Penny Black stamps, because they are such nice quality stamps, and adhere to my acrylic block very nicely.
5
Good pens. We made a poster.
5
These tweezers are just wonderful for gripping small objects in order to be glued down. They don't grip the paper so hard that it would leave indentations in the paper. I am a paper crafter so that was a definite plus. I would definitely recommend these to anyone working with paper, twine or ribbon. They can be that extra set of fingers you need. They arrived packaged and just described by the seller.
5
Series 7 #1 are a fantastic brush. I use them with oil as I am a miniaturist. However they are incredible for watercolor.
5
Works. Good

My husband was taking the silhouette out of the country as a gift for a friend, so we got the second mat so she would have it when she needs it. I *love* my silhouette.
5
The light grip are my favorite mats. For some reason the green regular one is standard. It's too sticky and people complain, I've ripped paper and had issues with my vinyl backing causing bubbles in the vinyl from the backing lifting off. These ones are about half the amount of stickiness and I can use them without damaging much of anything! If you haven't used these ones yet definitely give it a try, you'll be amazed how much easier it is to work with!
5
Nice set to make threading elastic easier, happy with purchase
5
Does exactly what it is meant to do, and does it well. I will definitely be ordering again, especially at this price!
5
Very nice.
5
i love this!! it's really nice i'm very happy with it!!
5
I love this product. The cap makes it hard to squeeze the substance from the small hole but I just screw of the entire cap and pull some out with a toothpick or other object. It spreads well as icing for mini clay projects or works well as a glue to hold to pieces together for baking. Add a pinprick amount of any color acrylic paint to make a translucent color or add quite a bit to make it not translucent at all like icing. When you bake it hardens like normal clay and depending on how much color you add will dry as translucent as you need!! Easy to work with. Leaves a mess. Dries hard. Bakes well. Small bottle is a little expensive but you don't really use much on most projects.
5
Mine came in a square block rather than the octagon pictured, but it was a full pound. This is a very pure clean wax, with a faint odor of honey. The price is phenomenal, considering how much it can cost for a 1-oz stick of beeswax at my local art store.
4
Amazing---does not catch on loosely wound yarn
5
I am very happy with the product, but when I received it the package had already been previously opened, there was no seal around the package. Also when I took the container out of the package and went to open the container to make sure all the pieces were there, the blue latch that keeps it locked closed was broken and just came off in my hand. No I have to find something else to put my pieces in because the latch will not stay locked. This is very disappointing.

i got this for my brother machine which the manufacturer said to only use these otherwise the machine won't work like it should so I am glad i found these on amazon.
5
Magnetic sewing needle holder. Works like a dream!
5
Not sent in original package. I* don't think its a true Pfaff product. I did get a replacement for the bent foot, but it was sent the same way as the first. I paid too much money for my machine to put a product on it that I don't believe is a true Pfaff product.

Awesome scissors, they are very sharp and I like the colors.
5
I purchased the 3/8 inch tape maker on another site, but it's the exact same product and I thought I would like to add my 2 cents here. It's a wonderful little gizmo that does its job and I like how inserting the fusible web is an option which makes this pretty diverse. I give it four stars because 3/8 is pretty small and I actually find it really tough to get the fabric through at first compared to other bias tape makers I have that are almost as small. You need a needle to poke the fabric through, it takes a lot of time, and if you're too harsh with it you could end up ruining the fibers.
4
Good quality.
5
I love these dies. They make great mats for card making.
5
works. competitively priced
5
This is a replacement for my Big Kick which I had for 7 years!! I put a Bigz die in upside down and jammed the machine big time!!!! I just Love Sizzix because I can cut very heavy material. (Mat Board)
5
Good wire for earring wires, knotted headpins, or plain eyepins. Using wire straighteners a few times along wire is enough to harden wire. Ear wires just need a few strokes with rubber hammer when finished. I got non-tarnish to keep items bright and shiny.

Love it, so far I have used it with cardstock and have had no problems. Cannot use it if you have something too thick which is a little bit of a disappointment, you'll be afraid of breaking it, and for the price I don't want to. So in card making, I use it before a card is assembled, wish that wasn't the case, but I have had this little thing for a year now and haven't had any real issues.
5
I love these hooks! The larger ones are so awesome for doing quick projects and the way these are cut where the tip of the hook is flush with the handle is awesome. I rarely snag the thread and get get my crochet super tight. I don't use any other brand of hooks.
5
Beautiful thread. I could not stop looking at all the thread in the box. It felt like Christmas morning. I bought it for my Brother embroidery machine but it works just fine in my Singer Futura also. I would recommend this thread to everyone and I most likely will order again
5
Great selection of colors although the packaging smells terrible. I had to take them out of the packaging they came in because the smell of the plastic was so intense.
4
I love this thing! I cut enough fabric to bind a twin bed quilt in less than ninety seconds. It was awesome. I had unsuccessful carpal tunnel surgery some years ago, and this system is wonderful and requires very little hand effort. Yes, the initial investment is expensive, but it is absolutely worth it. And when you invite your friends over to cut out their projects, it's an instant quilt party. I can't recommend it enough.
5
Received these as a gift. They are really pretty BUT they are NOT pink. All 3 of the "pink" ones are actually red. I think they are really pretty and I'm ok with them being "red" instead of "pink". The rolls are decent size. They come in a plastic bag so the packaging isn't pretty (ok with that since shipping is free). I'm sure I'll buy again.
4
Beautiful vibrant colors
5
I always hesitate to buy anything that is shipped from China but I did it anyway. I actually got the nailheads 2 1/2 weeks before I was expecting them.
5
Arrived and time and I am pleased with the product. Need now to search for a much larger mat for my large projects.
5
1/2x20yds title is MISLEADING! Thought I was getting 1/2 YD x 20 YDS. Make sure you look closely at packaging and read ALL of description.

This is an "old" product, at least in the world of stamping... but saying that, people are rediscovering it. I was watching an online video and the demonstrator was using this product in a whole new way. She used it with stencils and ink pads in a really fun way to create backgrounds. I had to try it but couldn't find my Cut-N-Dry Stamp Pad Foam, so thankfully, I could find it here on Amazon! So I guess the saying "What goes around, comes back around" is so true!
5
This is a fantastic sewing machine tote. It is even prettier in person. It fits my Brother XL2600i. It fits perfectly and holds the power supply and foot pedal.
5
Just what I wanted thank you for great service
5
it was ok did not take as well as I would have liked
3
great price
5
the thread is working well with my heavy duty needles and new machine fixing blue jeans in a snap
5
I sprayed this on several different types of items and it doesn't show up at all. Waste of money.
