Very easy to use
I am worse than a novice, I have never used or even touched a sewing machine before, this was my first. I bought it because of the price and the other reviews. I can't believe how easy it was to set up. The detailed book that comes with it is wonderful. I had no problem getting it set up and making my first stitches. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Now, I don't know if this machine would be wonderful to a seasoned sewer? But for a beginner like me, I could not have asked for something better to get me started. | 1positive

Deceptive description
Measurements for packing are deceptive. Entire package is CLOSE to the listed measurements but includes a large portion of the packing that has NO PRODUCT. I ordered 5 bags and could not believe the SMALL amount of wool roving I received. I would not order this product again. | 0negative

Camel Jiffy Yarn makes Soft, Cozy Afghans
Lion Brand Jiffy is a soft bulky yarn a little heavier than sports yarn.I enjoy making afghans from Jiffy yarn because they are warm and cozy. The colors are true and the finished products are very pretty. A crachet hook size H, I or J works well with this yarn. | 1positive

It does NOT work!
Why can I not use this card in my Brother SE350 embroidery machine? It specifically said it would work with this machine. When I put the card in I get the same error message that the machine can not read the card.It worked fine when i loaded the patterns on to it from my laptop, so why won't the sewing machine read it????Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading Embroidery Designs | 0negative

it is what it says it is
Well, it's construction paper for sure. Quality seems good, colors are bright. What else is there to say? It does seem fairly smooth compared to some brands I've used in the past. Would probably buy again. | 1positive

Expands Waiste...does the job
This gives you an extra inch in the waisteband. I have 3 of them, and none have broken yet. It seems I cant find a true fit anymore and when something is cut small this helps. Of course, that ice cream after dinner isn't helping the situation. | 1positive

A great little iron for seams and corners
This little iron works great for pressing corners and seams. I keep it right by my sewing machine so I don't have to walk over to my ironing board every time I want to press down a seam or corner. | 1positive

Works Great!
This brought my faded leather jacket back to life! I also have a black leather couch that is extremely faded on one side from sun damage. My last apartment was on a high floor and I never closed the living room shades. Since I had such good luck on the jacket I figured I couldn't make that side of the couch look any worse. It looks great! I'm going to redo the whole thing! I used the deglazer first. | 1positive

Awesome product!
I've never used a dye that works as well as Jacquard acid dye did! The color came out so dark and just like the picture. Unfortunately, I was trying to get a duller purple and this dye completely blocked out the other color, but I can't blame the company for making a product that works TOO well! Will definitely purchase this dye again! | 1positive

Does not work as described right out of the box
We ordered this machine for my daughter's birthday. I am an experienced seamstress and figured all the features on this machine really did seem too good to be true. We decided to take the gamble and sadly lost.First of all when ordering, Amazon asked if it needed to be concealed since it was a gift and we marked the box yes and then it got delivered and my daughter saw the box (actual sewing machine box) while it was delivered! Ruined her whole birthday surprise!Then, we decided to make a costume together and the buttonholer did not work at all AND the needle was staying in the left position instead of the middle. The stitch wasn't very good either. I made sure it was threaded correctly and that we were doing the buttonholer was attached correctly.Just a cheap machine, should have known. Sending it back....along with all the attachments I bought separately. | 0negative

This glue dries but stays tacky after 5 days!
Ok after 5 days it's still tacky. I even put it out in the sun to dry. Nothing I do will get rid of the tackiness.I've had cheaper glue that worked better.I would not reccomend that anyone buy this glue unless you want a tacky feeling puzzle.I did not overuse the amount of glue in fact for a 1,000 piece puzzle I had more than 1/3rd of the container left. | 0negative

Not Impressed
I, too, was impressed by the fact that these were TITANIUM blade scissors but after a few days of cutting with them they started to stick and not cut as smooth as when they came out of the package. I just purchased a pair of Scotch Precision Scissors, 8-Inches and not only were they HALF the price of the Westcott but they work like a dream and continue to do so for the month I have been using them. The smoothest cutting action Ive seen on a pair of scissors under $75.00. | 0negative

Works great
I am able to add more holes to all my belts. This is not hard for me to use although I'm a little weakling. Twisting the hole puncher left and right will help for holes through really thick belts. It's very heavy duty so will prob last a long time. | 1positive

Awesome product!
I wanted to re do my review, I contacted Brother via e-mail and they responded within 2 days. They offered some suggestions as to why I got the message "this card can not be used in this machine". I missed the obvious "hoop size"! I had wrong hoop size and that was my whole problem! Now it works beautifully again! "My Bad!!" Sometimes when we get frustrated, we miss something so obvious!! The ped-basic is a great product and I look forward to doing many more t-shirts!! | 1positive

Disappointing Lack of Challenge
Being a teenage knitter, I was given this book as a gift and was very disappointed. I have been knitting for several years and the projects in this book were entirely too juvenile. I concede that they may be more appealing to someone who is just starting to knit, and that the authors have made a sincere effort to create projects that are creative and eye-catching. Unfortunately, this book seems to be written under the impression that teenage knitters are also not good knitters, and that challenging them would be unwelcome. | 0negative

Excellent lamp for many different artist setups (Flicker issue resolved!)
I purchased this lamp at another store but thought I would share my info as some here have had the same issues I did with the lamp. After turning it on it flickers for several minutes before stabilizing. Having owned other Fluorescent lights I know that when one starts to flicker it is normally the starter. I did not want to return the lamp so I purchased a new starter at a local store.http://www.amazon.com/GE-54388-Fluorescent-Starter-2-Pack/dp/B008DB3EHO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1361734254&sr;=8-1&keywords;=FS-2$1.50 partThe link above is the same item I purchased. I removed the 3 screws from the left side of the lamp pulled the cover off and replaced the starter. Took about 5 minutes of my time. Plugged it back in and like magic the lamp lights up without a 5 minute flicker session. This is by far the best lamp I have every owned for doing art work 5 Stars!Hope this helps,Linda | 1positive

nice principle - cheapest materials
I purchased this item, because I was looking for a puncher that allows to precisely position and cutout circles with printed elements. Receiving it I liked the design and the way it is handled like pliers/scissors rather than the trandition punchers, that one operates with the thumb. Though I was already worried about the durabilty of the tool, due to the very flexible and weak plastic handles, I appreciated that the punch itself was at least made out of cast iron. After around some 40-50 punches the tool broke. I opened it up and realized that the mechanism transforming the rotational movement of the handles into the translational movement of the puncher uses thin plastic guiders that broke due to the "intense" usage of 40 punches.This could be easily fixed by slightly changing the design and casting the guiders to the frame instead of using the outer plastic casing for guidance. I called up Fiskars hotline and filed a complaint. They sent me a replacement tool at no cost, which I have to point out as good customer service (earning them a second STAR), though the deficit of the device is still present. This tool is not the type of quality that I expect from Fiskars. Unfortunately unless one wants to punch the very thin "Chinese style" paper and only use the puncher about 10 times, I do not recommend this tool. | 0negative

You get what you pay for
I really wish I had listened to the bad reviews and not bought this machine but the price was too good. I've had nothing but trouble with this machine from the start. The bobbins are constantly getting tangled and I've had to fix the bobbin case numerous times. The thread tension doesn't work correctly and the stitches are uneven. I really really wanted to like this machine, but it just makes sewing anything a headache. | 0negative

Don't waste your hard earned money
I do a lot of crafting involving fabric and thought this would be perfect. When it arrived I read all the instructions and became a bit concerned at the use guidelines that suggested it would get very hot And theres no on or off button! Ok, was just prepared to follow guidelines and be gentle with this supposedly hot iron. What happened was the exact opposite! It barely warms up at all! I tried several different fabrics and it barely makes a crease. What a waste. Will look at Walmart for what I need! | 0negative

Brother SA185 1/4" Quilting Foot with Guide
Even though the Amazon website showed a picture of Brother packaging for this product, it was not a genuine Brother presser foot. In comparing both the real thing and this fake copy, there were slight differences and so it was returned to the outside vendor. Very misleading ad on Amazon's website. | 0negative

Great crafting pliers - won't damage your project
These pliers are just what I needed to ensure I could manipulate my work without marring the surfaces.The nylon jaws are strong enough to allow for manipulation of wire, thin metal and light chain links or jump rings. The lack of metal jaws allows me to not have to worry about marring the finish of these parts while I am working.Pros:- nylon is tough and able to manipulate the work.- pliers have a nice heft - sits well in the hand.- prevents marring the finish on projects for a nicer overall look.Cons:- the nylon jaws are a bit large - a finer point at the end would be helpful for smaller items.Overall - a good product for working with smaller metal parts that need manipulation.Hope that helps.... | 1positive

Well Built and Clear Optics
I was a bit hesitant to purchase this loupe because it was not one of the big name brands. I read the other reviews on this item and decided to give it a try. I was very pleased with the quality of the loop. It is well built, steady to hold, and has very clear optics. I am glad that I went with a 21mm loupe instead of a cheaper 15mm or 18mm loupe. I find it much easier to use and to focus than smaller loupes. It works perfectly for my needs. | 1positive

Quality for custom creations
These small magnets are perfect for bracelets and lighter-weight necklaces. It is true that there are different magnetic strengths and sizes - think about what you need the clasp for, and then you will know which clasp to buy. I have used these successfully on many bracelets and necklaces and have never had a customer complaint. These are a great price, too. | 1positive

Junk
I'm in the coin business and buy a lot of scrap gold and silver. I thought this thing would stream-line my tried-and-true method of acid/scratch testing: It does not. I tried it multiple times to verify known standards (24k credit suise bar and 22k gold eagles) and it does not come back with the correct measurement consistently. Out of ten measurements and ten cleanings maybe it was close about 20% of the time. Most of the measurements came back low and that is unacceptable...unless your intention is to rip people off. Not accurate enough for me. I even measured some 14k samples and it came back 16k and 18k a few times...that's ok if you want to rip yourself off.Most of the vendors that I saw selling this unit WILL NOT accept it back for a refund if it has been used at all: How are you supposed to know if it works if you don't use it? My original unit was purchased from a vendor that also sells on the most popular of all auction sites (I still payed about the same for it). And, my unit's power switch broke off the second I took it out of the box. I contacted the seller and he didn't want anything to do with the busted unit and that any defects have to be resolved with the manufacturer. The manufacturer is in my same state of CA and they didn't get to fixing my unit until I called and yelled at them a little...after all I only had about five days left of the ten days to return the item for "credit" or an exchange. What a joke. The seller by the way was iGem, and I purchased the high-end GXL-24. I know this is a review for the GT-4000, but they all have the same testing electronics with in them. All of them are junk. | 0negative

Dolphin Cross Stitch Kit
I would not say this dolphin kit is for beginners as I am a beginner and found it very hard. I don't think the instructions were easy, like it says. I still don't know how to cross stitch after completing the whole project. It looks awful. I am an adult and this says it's for kids, well I even found it very hard. The instructions were very confusing to me. Also the needle that is included is very tiny and it took me 2 hours to thread it. If you buy this kit may I suggest going to Walmart, or some place that sells crafts and buy a bigger needle eye. The holes are very tiny and not easy to see. I had a hard time trying to figure out where the colors go, though there is a color chart included. This kit maybe fine for someone that really knows what they are doing, but not for the beginner, not in my opinion. | 0negative

smells funny
I bought this for my 10 year old, and she's happy with it. However, it has a strange odor to it, like mold or mildew. Yuck!! It doesn't appear to have mold or mildew actually on it, but it may be hard to tell given the colors in the fabric, and I definitely agree with the other reviews about the poor quality. | 0negative
|
An awful waste of money
The concept is good but the design and actual use are terrible. For starters, the holes punch almost at the very edge of the paper, a far shallower punch than most any other on the market. You have to be careful that you push the edges of the sheets in as far as they can possibly go, or the holes end up at the edge of the sheets. Also, after a few uses, it's no longer possible to get sheets all the way in to be able to punch holes. The design not only makes it difficult to see if this is caused by jammed paper bits or something else, but impossible to fix that issue. A total disappointment. It's overpriced for other models that do the same thing, and it does a much worse job. | 0negative

Not what i expected at all
i received the beads today, when i opened the package i first noticed the dharma wheel sewn decal at the middle of the string, had 6 points, not 8. After that they were not easy to thread through my hands because of the material being a wood designed plastic. The beads are much small than i thought, they do mention the size but still my expectations weren't met, just aesthetically.I might return them if i can, i'm not sure yet i'm hopping they grow on me.your getting what you pay for, for a $7.00 string of beads, the string looks pretty sturdy though. | 0negative

works great
Was really worried not knowing what to expect. Used it as soon as it arrived & worked great. Used it to punch extra holes on my purse leather strap. I have no upper body strength & was no problem to use this. Created holes with minimal effort from me. For the price of this product, I'm happy with the quality I got. I highly recommend to anyone. | 1positive

Barely functional anymore
Years ago these used to be good. Now it's hard to find one that works properly, you have to get a box of 100 and hope some of them will work well. Why is this? It's become a throw-away society, quality is on the decline. Speedball probably thinks that few will notice the reduction in quality (except for the handful of professionals who are experts on their materials), so why not cut some corners and make more profits?I've been using drawing/inking art supplies for 22 years professionally and I have a hard time getting these to do their job now. Many of my other pro friends say the same thing. I've switched to Deleter's Comic Pen 240, from Japan, and it works as it should. | 0negative

Not As Advertised: No AC Adapter Included
The descriptions of this product, both here on Amazon and on Artograph's own website, state that an AC adapter is included. But the product I received from Amazon DID NOT include this adapter and, in fact, the packaging clearly says "Optional operation with 9V AC Adapter (not included)". This is really annoying as the inclusion of an adapter was a significant factor in my purchasing decision. Now I have to go somewhere like Radio Shack to buy an adapter, hope it has sufficient wattage, and pay at least 50% of the price of the product itself to get one. Very disappointing. | 0negative

Flimsy
Very lightweight; doesn't feel like a quality product. I have the Gingher pocket scissors & love them, so would rather pay the extra money for another pair of those. I lhave lots of Gingher scissors, & I love that I can send them to the factory for sharpening & readjustment when necessary. I have dropped scissors a couple of times & I would rather be able to get them readjusted than to have to buy another pair. | 0negative

Problems.
It worked well at first. Then it started having little problems. Then it wouldn't make button holes. Now the bobbin wont wind. and of course, it isn't easy to replace the part needed. I can't even find the part needed.I'm just going to buy a new one, and not a singer. I've always liked them in the past, but this one gave me nothing but trouble. It's lucky it hasn't gone out the window. | 0negative

Super-low quality
This paper wrinkles badly with the slightest bend, and tears with the gentlest tug. Planning on applying lots of wet tempera paint? Forget it. In order to lower costs, we decided to order this brand from amazon this year for a high school function; we'll definitely be looking elsewhere next year. A nightmare of wasted paper and artwork! | 0negative

Voltage in (UK)
I purchased this machine for my granddaughter who specifically wanted a PINK sewing machine. We could not source the same model in the (UK) so went ahead and purchased from Amazon (USA).(UK) purchasers beware, the voltage for all USA models is 110/120V and will not work properly in the (UK) without the correct foot pedal.Our machine arrived in the (UK) without any problem but then found out that we had to purchase a different foot pedal at an additional cost of approx 35. | 1positive

They don't make them better than this!!!
And that is an understatement. Tim obviously takes great pride in the finished product, whether it is a piece of art, or his DVD instruction. Watching Tim on this DVD truly is like being right there. You can see exactly what he's doing. The camera angles don't distort or hide anything he does with ink, paper, or embellishments. He explains everything thoroughly and moves right along. While Tim moves right along, you don't feel as though he's rushing through things. His tips are practical, and make sense...the first time. And, no, you don't have to be a stamper to make use of the techniques in this book.This is a DVD you can watch over and over to improve your techniques or to learn more. (And I have wathed it multiple times!)It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, or a pro. Tim walks you through every step, yet leaves you free to explore your own creativity.When I said this DVD is like sitting right next to him in class, I wasn't kidding. After seeing this DVD, I had an opportunity to take six (yes 6)classes from him in two days. AND I did get to sit right next to him! The teaching style you see on camera is the same one you see in person, except there are no bloopers at the end. Many of the techniques we learned were the same as on the DVD, though the projects differed. Tim has a wonderful, patient way of teaching, including his humor.Tim does have a new book that just came out recently. There is more to come, but Tim wasn't spilling the beans yet, so keep watching for more from Tim Holtz! | 1positive

Dont Bother
I got the handheld sewing machine when i was seven. At the time i thought it was the best thing ever. Although after sewing two sides of a pillow i started to make, the machine broke, and started sewing very losely. Soon there after it just sewed loops. After two months of trying to fix it i threw it out. i am now into sewing, and i would recommend saving the money you will spend on a useless handheld sewing machine, and save up for a real one. | 0negative

Love them!
Bought these for my 2 year old son and he LOVES them!He has wanted to cut for a long time but he couldn't manage the open and shutting with one hand.Right out of the package, once we put his fingers in the right holes, he figured it out and was cutting things up immediately (lucky me, right?)They are sharp enough to cut paper, but not sharp enough that he has cut himself at all.I definitely recommend these for first scissors! | 1positive

Couldn't even finish my first project
Was THRILLED with the first 6 punches - on the 7th one, and every one thereafter, the punch stopped "making contact" in one place - and consistently ruined each punch after the first few perfect ones. What began as a very satisfying experience quickly became a real disappointment. I do NOT recommend this punch. | 0negative

good idea but bad execution
I bought this for my daughter last year for xmas and we got to play with it about twice before it fell apart.I really liked the idea of the pattern designs especially for my then 2 year old who just likes to paint mush lol. when we used the rollers to make the square designs it really didn't work. when the paint was on the roller it didn;t roll very well. I tried to dilute the the paint with water so the roller would work better but the sponges just didn't hold up. | 0negative

Quick cutting
I use these to cut tulle fabric and when I'm cutting I usually have the fabric folded over about four times and for the most part it will cut through completely about 98% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't always cut the very first section but that might be operator error. My only concern is I feel the blade may dull quickly, but that it's an easy fix as the blade can come off very easily | 1positive

Ready to Upgrade
I'm a beginning sewer, and after only a couple projects I'm ready to move on to a better machine.It works best on simple sewing projects and light fabrics like cotton. Like other reviewers have said, it has one speed--FAST. I found it simple to use, although threading the bobbin had a quirk that I'd always forget and then waste 10 minutes screwing with it and yelling at it.I made 2 quilt tops before I hit my first snag by attempting to machine quilt the layers together. I guess the thickness was just too much because the bottom of the quilt was a mass of loose, tangled thread. I did my best, screwed around with it, but it never worked right after that. And the quilt is practically ruined--and it was made out of my daughter's baby clothes. (Don't look at the back!!!) After paying to get it serviced, it was back to normal.I made a few more lightweight cotton pieces, and even "upcycled" some sweaters into new pieces. (I held my breath, but the machine handled it.) Last week my mom helped me start a massive project (new bedding and curtains for my bedroom) when the thing jammed and would NOT move. It made a loud CLUNK! like it hit a chunk of metal...and that's the end of my sewing machine. The timing went out.I have it at the shop (again) for an estimate, but I think I'll stop sinking money into it.I wouldn't recommend this machine for anything other than rare sewing needs (like hems) because it can't handle an actual sewing project without screwing up. | 0negative

The throw ins are nice, but the lanyard itself is garbage. For the record, it's scoubidou, not boondoggle, which is fine in itself. It's that this kit is garbage. As an aside, if you want actual boondoggle, the flat lanyard,Rexlace Plastic Lacing 200 Feet-Assorted Colorsis what you're looking for.The peices in this tube are unevenly dyed and blotchy. It looks like these were spilled on, didn't take the dye properly, whatever, making them unsuitable for sale. The peices are about 2 foot long, which is a problem given most pattern call for around 5 feet per peice and joining just isn't a good idea. The size sugests to me these are mill ends. If I had to guess, these were destined to be thrown out as junk; then someone got the great idea to package them all together as a tube of super junk and sell it.If your kid wants to just make long runs of whatever and then throw it out, they'll enjoy this, but there are lower price, higher quaility alternatives out there. If your kid wants to make actual projects, they will be disappointed. | 0negative

Must Have for Sewing and Baking
I love these blades in the sewing room since cutting with actual pinking shears is slow and painful. These blades make it easy!I also use these blades in the kitchen when making pies. I clean up my rotary cutter to get all the sewing bits off and to sterilize it for use in the kitchen. Then, I use this wavy blade to cut my pie pastry for the classic lattice crust on my cherry pies. Lots of compliments for very little work.Great price on this versatile blade. | 1positive

Boo--these are terrible.
I was really excited about these scissors after finding them on Sky Mall! I know I'm not the only one who reads that magazine! However, they're really awful. Whatever you cut gets stuck in the blades and you have to constantly pull out pieces of paper to enable you to continue cutting. I was so disappointed! | 0negative

Everything I've been looking for

Work great!
Just purchased my first glue gun and got these sticks to go with it, they work great! I was surprised at how well the glue sticks, I wasn't sure what to expect (I glued painted shells onto a picture frame). | 1positive

Fantastic!
I purchased the small corner punch because I had some wedding programs that I had to round the edges for.I had previously tried a Fiskars punch and didn't listen to all the warnings. Any paper at all that is outside of 'copy' paper would get shredded in the Fiskars.I ordered this on Amazon and was so thrilled when it arrived. Not only is it easy to use (and you can see the edge of the paper as it goes in so you can correctly line it up) but it also is easy on the hands.I was able to get all the programs I needed edged and they looked great.Now I am trying to convince myself that not all things need a rounded corner. | 1positive

canceled request ... seemingly permanently out of stock.
Would have like to have purchased this item but it's been 'out of stock' now for 3 months. I just canceled the order/request. Then I'm asked to rate something I never received. | 0negative

Not very easy
This etching was not as easy as most. I wouldn't buy it for a child under 12. It's very pretty when it's finished. Just not an "easy" one. | 1positive

Krylon gold leafing pen.
Excellent color and easier to use than paint and a brush for touching up worn gold leafing on ceramic figurines! | 1positive

Simply Art 36 Colored Pencils
I like to doodle or draw periodically and I normally use a 12 pack of colored pencils. While a 12 pack has all the basic/popular colors, it lacks the subtle shades when I need something specific.This 36 pack contains a wide assortment of colors with many different shades. Nice quality on the pencils and the colored lead is durable and won't break easily when sharpening. And the price on Amazon is just under six bucks for 36 colored pencils, which is a good deal. | 1positive

Great for everything except surgery!
I don't know how i lived before i had this collection of tweezers. Excellent for removing fish hooks, from fish or from one's foot (ouch!). You can gather all those nits from your loved ones' hair, or pluck out ear or nose hairs from your spouse when she's sleeping. There are specialized tips for squeezing carpenter ants and for getting the dust bunnies out of the computer keyboard. Gosh, it seems like they're good for just about everything. Just be sure to flame-sanitize after probing in certain places. Also, you should probably get a separate set of sturdy tools for serious surgical procedures. | 1positive

Make cleaning Rapidograph nibs easy!
For years I've been using other cleaners with so-so results. But now I'm able to properly clean my Rapidograph nibs so they'll last longer. | 1positive

Good product
I love my cutterpede, and it always works well for me. The scoring blade makes a really clean looking score on all types of paper. The only drawback to using this scoring blade is that it's a bit of a hassle to change it out and then change back to the regular blade when making cards. | 1positive

Complete garbage
First of all the it was broken in the box when i got it. A dial was broken off, and a plastic plate was snapped in half. I figured, ok, ill just super glue it back on, and it will be fine. That worked. Now when I go to sew something the needle breaks within five minutes. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM, IT IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. | 0negative

Great little portfolio
I purchased the ProFolio Evolution 11x14 by Itoya - looks very professional, made from quality materials and has held up very well to travel and viewing. Great price too. Planning to purchase 2 more right away! | 1positive

Better than Montblanc ink
I was a little reluctant to buy the Noodler's Ink for my Montblanc Meisterstuck Chopin 145. In fact, my last three bottles were original Montblanc black ink. But after reading some Amazon reviews, I finally decided to buy the Noodler's Ink.Simply, the Noodler's ink is superior. Only the shape of the Montblanc bottle is better than the Noodler's bottle, but because I had my empty Montblanc bottle I poured the new ink on it and now I have the best of two worlds. | 1positive

Almost Impossible to Punch!
I turned blue in the face trying to punch out one flower! Lining it up on a small area is difficult too (I cut a few bookmarks with my Cricut and wanted to try a simple flower on top of each). I even tried to use it on flimsy paper, but failed. I never used punches before, but this will be my first and last one from this company. If I can, I'll return it to Michael's for a refund. I should have taken a hint from the many previously opened and taped up Punches they had hanging on the wall.If I had a 250-pound tackle from the NFL to press this thing for me, then I'd have it made! However, my measly efforts resulted in only frustration and a sore hand.I admire the one reviewer who said he was able to use it! | 0negative

This machine is my new baby.
I absolutely LOVE this machine. It is so easy to use and at a fraction of the cost of machines with similar options, it is a steal. There are more decorative stitches than I will ever be able to use, but I will sure try hard. It makes piecing quilts so easy. I can adjust the needle to correct my 1/4" seams, so I seldom use the seam ripper anymore. That is always a plus.It also sews through very thick layers with ease. Hemming jeans is a breeze with this machine. It didn't even strain a bit over the denim hump. That's what really convinced me that I had gotten a great machine.The person that gave this machine a bad review over 1 or 2 decorative stitches not looking the way they wanted them to look really didn't give it a fair deal. That has nothing to do with the quality of the machine, and this machine is a super quality machine, especially for the price. I did lots of research before deciding on this one, and I'm glad I did.I hope this helps. | 1positive

Easier and safer Glue Gun
I just recently purchased this glue gun for craft and home repair use. So far, it lives up to my expectations quite well. Like any product, it has its pros and cons, so allow me to list them.Pros:Cordless products are easier to use anywhere you need them, incuding outside the house.It heats and cools quickly.Unlike most corded glue guns, it has an On/Off switch, and barely drips at all.It has a work light at the front, and a standby mode to conserve battery power.It includes a small idea book that I found very helpful. Read it to learn how to avoid the little strings of glue that can be a problem at the end of a job.You can buy a spare battery for it at coldheat.com. (Other reviewers said batteries were not available, but they just recently started selling them)Cons:It does not come with a storage case, and ColdHeat does not sell one online. (I put it in a small plastic tool box)It uses only Mini sticks (5/16" diameter) so it is good for light work, but if you need a lot of glue, you will have to add sticks frequently.The charging base has an indicator light (a good thing) but it is VERY bright. Don't charge it anywhere near your bedroom at night, or the light will keep you up.My needs are strictly light-duty so it is an excellent choice for me. Gotta go now. I have to look around the house for stuff to glue! :) | 1positive

Family Heirloom
When I first saw the pricetag, I figured the only way I would buy this product is if I could hand it down for generations. After the first week of using it, I found out that this product is durable enough to do just that. So, when paper is eliminated in favor of computer in the next 20 years or so, I will have the best antique 3 hole puncher known to man. For the reduced price, though, I might have the steal of the century.In all seriousness, this hole puncher is a little more than you should pay if you just need to use one occasionally, so if you're tight on cash, go for the cheaper ones. If you really want a great hole puncher that will last for years and don't mind paying a little bit more for a huge improvement in quality, get this hole puncher. | 1positive
