I wanted a 6 hole punch, thought adjustable would be great. Can't get the six hole to line up for my Day-Timer. Not a good thing. | 0negative

Received BROKEN
I received this serger as a gift for Christmas, after much research. I have wanted a serger for years. Intimidated by the machine, I watched the DVD's, read the manuals, and scoured the internet on serging before I even got it out of the box. I bought all new thread, cut a pattern to test the machine, and finally took it out to give it a first try. And...BROKEN.The hand wheel would not even turn. I couldn't do a thing with it. I called Brother, and they referred me to an authorized repair shop-- the closest was 45 minutes away. I called the repair shop, and of course it is not an easy fix, and they told me they would have it for as long as three weeks. Thankfully, this gift was purchased on Amazon, and they swiftly offered to send me a replacement machine and return label for the broken machine. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the next machine. What a disappointment to have my only Christmas gift arrive completely non-functional. | 0negative

Machine not as advertised
I bought this machine from a 3rd party (rugbykingpin) through the Amazon Website. This machine DID NOT perform as listed and never did sew right on anything more than light fabric. I tried to return it but, this merchant WOULD not allow a return for ANYTHING but what they considered defective. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MERCHANT if you are NOT entirely sure about the product you are buying. I attempted to leave poor feedback and removed it, because I had mispelled a word and found out that I cound NOT leave feedback again or change anything!!! Kind of scammy I think. | 0negative

Not good for patterns
Bought the paper to make garment and accessory patterns with and, while it's low priced for the size and quantity, the paper is very thin. I find it similar to butcher paper which I use for making moc-up patterns with, and I'll be using this for the same purpose. Purchased to make finished, sturdy patterns that will be used many times but it's not suitable for that. Thinner than typical printer paper. | 0negative

The most frustrating paperweight ever made
What a piece of junk. I bought this at full price a few years ago, but didn't really use it much until recently. It held up for maybe 2-3 months of regular use before the tension adjustment stopped working and it caused everything to pucker. After dealing with that for about a month it started causing the 'bird's nest' issue with the bobbin, and then the reverse button broke. So after multiple hours spent trying to tinker with this piece of junk, I now have a fancy paperweight that sews in reverse only. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. | 0negative

It would've been a 4 star item...
But then it sliced my flippin ring finger on the way to the studio!I wish I read the reviews on the poor quality control. The handles look fine from just a glance, but if you take a second look, they aren't really finished. It's kind of like wood that hasn't been sanded. Easy fix though I guess. I got a sanding block and sanded the inside of the handles. Still, this is a pretty decent portfolio. It fits quite a lot of things inside. I've got two 18x24 80lb drawing pads, 7 pencils, a pen, a rolling ruler, two triangles and two erasers in it.As for why it would only be four stars though is because I also wish it had shoulder straps.If you're shorter than 5'8" you'll be dragging this on the floor if your arms are relaxed. | 0negative

Great basic machine
I haven't used a sewing machine regularly in close to 20 years, but didn't have any trouble getting into the groove after a glance through the manual. Threading, loading a bobbin, and selecting stitches were all very simple. I've done only a very few minor projects so far - no complicated or decorative stitching, no zippers or buttonholes yet - but it's performed well. I forgot how addicting sewing can be: there are only four empty bobbins included with this machine, so I'll definitely be looking for more. | 1positive

Best dustpan ever!
OK, it seems strange to review a dustpan, of all things, but this one stands head and shoulders above ordinary dustpans. I've only had it for two weeks, but I've already used it to clean up sawdust, planer shavings, plaster debris and even a few leaves in the yard! It's comfortable, sturdy, and (most important) quick and efficient. The "scoop" action is what sets it apart from the others; it can hold quite a bit of sawdust in one load, without spilling any on the way to the trash can. Also, its flat bottom ensures that all the dust goes into the pan - no more line of leftover dust at the leading edge of the pan. My hat is off to the designers of this tool! | 1positive

Good quality but expensive for what you get.
I purchased this item when looking for a source for good quality colored wool. I love the wool but was disappointed when I found the exact same thing at Michaels for about $4.50 (regular price). If you don't have a source near you, this would be a good option but if you have a craft store that actually carries wool felting supplies, I'd check there first. | 0negative

Number of Sheets in Package?
I was really disappointed to find only 5 sheets in this envelop. The package picture has 'fuzzed out' the circle with '5'. When Amazon or whoever lined up the comparisons the others had 10 sheets, so I assumed! DaThis product printed well, but the photos after using the prescribed treatment are dull and look washed out. In addition the 'peeling' of the paper must be done very, very carefully. I ruined my first sheet when the sticky part of the paper could not be removed from the sheet. The whole paper must be peeled in one piece. Instructions did not outline that important point.Thus with shipping, my cost for five sheets was actually $4 each or $5 each with the ruined first sheet. I would not order or use this product again. | 0negative

Quality Issues!
Sanford is having quality issues with its Prismacolor and Verithin brands, enough to make me consider switching to Derwent.I've recently purchased the 72, 120, and 132 pencil Prismacolor sets and there were one or more problems with each set. My problems included getting getting duplicates of one or more colors while missing other colors, non-centered leads that caused sharpening issues, bent and curved pencils that made heir use awkward, imprints that were barely legible, chipped and gouged pencils, and imperfectly finished pencils.A box of 36 Verithin pencils had the same problems and was also missing a pencil.For the price paid for these pencils, you should expect perfection and you're not getting it. These used to be my favorite pencils. Sanford's shoddy quality control has caused me to downgrade my opinion of them. | 0negative

I wouldn't buy it again.
The stamp pad is dried out and useless. It can be re-inked, of course, but it's a new product and I shouldn't have to fix it right out of the box. Speaking of the box, it's wooden but there's no lid. Pretty useless for storage if you ask me. The bottom line is that my daughter likes the stamps themselves so I won't be hassling with returning this product. Given the choice, though, I definitely wouldn't buy it again. | 0negative

Falls apart
This barrel suffers from significant design problems, it is made not to last, specifically. They include an extra plastic insert to use because one four week round of tumbling will wear through the plastic. So, essentially, the manufacturer is telling you you'll only be able to use it two times.For me it has only lasted about a round and a half, or 6 weeks. The problem is they just aren't using good materials. They use a low quality low density rubber sleeve for the part that actually turns the barrel, and the barrel itself is plastic, with plastic axles, that sit in plastic saddles for turning. All that plastic wears itself out.Anyways, don't bother, yes, the better ones are more expensive, but you'll be able to use them more than twice. High density vulcanized rubber, metal contacts, etc. | 0negative

Great bun
Bought this to use for halloween.. by using an air compressor with a copper tube bent up to the tip of the glue gun, you can make custom realistic spider webs with the air on and glue running. It works quite well, but you need a hot enough gun, and this gun does it just fine. There are "pre-made" halloween spider web guns you can buy that cost a lot more than this, but they do fit the copper tube inside the frame. I had to rig my own setup so that the tube stayed attached to the gun using ties and such. Worked good though.. although the glue was a pain to take off of things after halloween. :) | 1positive

Good for me
Does what its suppose to do. The only thing is you have to keep putting a glue stick in so the one that's in there pumps out when it gets close to depletion. it won't pump out without a new one pushing it to the mouth. Its cute, light. the wire seems heavier than the it making it slide when placed down. Picky or not it's a good buy. especially for small hands. Although I think little kids handling this might be a risk still. | 1positive

Easy to use, Great maching
Very easy to use, great instructions, works like a dream.I am currently putting together a t-shirt quilt and it's been great.I did have an issue with the "loops" on the backside of the stitching and tension issues. I followed the instructions in the book on the tension and that worked sometimes. Other times I had to rethread the bobbin and the top thread. When I would do both of those things, the stitching began to work again. Always test on scrap material until you get the problem solved so you aren't ripping out a bunch of stitching! The problem is easily solved and it's not the machine's fault.I would highly recommend for the sewing I do (squares, straight lines, and easy do-it-yourself projects). | 1positive

Broke the third time I used it
This might be okay if you're punching thin paper, one sheet at a time, but when I tried heavier paper the plastc - yes, plastic! - handle snapped right off. Maybe mine had a defect, or a weak section, but without a metal core the plastic will eventually weaken and break. Not at all worth the money, I will never buy one like this again. | 0negative

Beautiful coloring
I have been buying Red Heart yarn for over 40 years. I like the quality and the colors. At first it appears to be a little stiff and some people do not like that, but it is that way so you can handle it better. Once you wash out the sizing it is soft like baby yarn.This yarn is resilient, if you crinkle it while you are wearing it do not worry it has a sort of memory it goes right back into place once you was hit.Since I have been knitting/crocheting with this yarn they have some up with some stunning colors, especially the purple/yellow/green/cream combo, may not sound to nice but I made a large wrap for a friends' mother for her wheel chair, she just loved it and could not stop talking about the colors.I have blankets that I have knit/crochet for my sons 40 years ago and they are still being used, there are a few tiny little holes by now but they are still beautiful and still keep me warm with the memories of my children. | 1positive

Nice construction paper
I began my quest for the perfect colored paper because I figured it would be easier for my very young son to color on a stiffer paper. I first tried this Tru-Ray Sulphite Construction Paper. It is actually decent paper with the white actually looking like white. The paper quality is also better and smoother than many cheaper brands of construction paper. I should mention that it is 9x12 paper and so a little larger than "standard". Definitely not a minus, but it is something to take note of.Unfortunately, I decided that I would prefer something a little more stiff than its 76lb weight (personal decision and definitely nothing against the Tru-Ray paper) and so have since tried theWausau Exact Index Cardstock , 110 lb, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 5 Color Pastel Assortment, 250 Sheets (48990). This Wausau 110lb was my second attempt and I have found a winner. This paper is as thick as a thin, store-bought card. I think the colors are also less bright and more rich than they seem in the Amazon image (which is a plus to me). The quality is also excellent with the paper being very smooth (even smoother than the Tru-Ray).If you are looking for nice construction paper I recommend this Tru-Ray. If, like me, you are looking for something a little thicker then I would definitely recommend looking up the Wausau cardstock. | 1positive

Harsh one-star review ... but it clearly didn't work as advertised
My goal in buying this product was to use it on previously bought Nike ACG F.I.T. pullover jacket, and to avoid buying an expensive waterproof top prior to a planned, and now completed, bushwalking trip. After coating my Nike top per the Nikwax instructions on the bottle, and after taking a city walk through rain prior to my hiking venture, I found that some initial Nikwax waterproofing aspects existed but faded very quickly in the face of more & more rain. My Nike top was wet (back to its previous norm) after a couple hours of light passing rain showers. The Nikwax claim on the bottle is that it provides "waterproofing for all textile garments and equipment". In my book, this is untrue. Less than one hour of waterproofing doesn't count. Thanks to the city rain test failure, I did make a tough call to spend $200 on a waterproof jacket prior to bushwalking ... well worth the money given the very wet conditions on the trail. The money I wasted on the Nikwax product could have been better used on something else. Recommendation: Do Not Buy. | 0negative

The More I use Red Heart the More I like it!
I've just been using Red Heart Super Saver Camo - Pink Camo for Crochet Afghan Squares to make a picnic blanket and I am in love with the colors that mould into each other as I work up my squares. The combination of colors are really attractive. The texture is tough and sturdy so it would be ideal for making items that are used away from the skin like blankets, afghan squares, mats, wine bottle holders, purses, handbags, etc. For the price, I am enjoying what I got and can't wait to finish all of my squares with this yarn and have myself a picnic on my new afghan! Overall, I would purchase this yarn again. | 1positive

cheepy quality :(
Because the way it's designed (the edge is closed), it only punches sheet that are the same size as the ones used in a daytime or smaller. If you want just a little large sheet you will not be able to do it.The quality does not impress me either... On the first test punch I tried, it got jammed even though it was just one sheet of paper.I would return it if I would have bought it at a local merchant, but it's not worth the hassle of boxing it and going to the post office.My opinion is: this punch is worth about $5.00 | 0negative

Pressure foot lever
Unfortunately I recommended CS6000i to a senior center where I teach quilting. The center purchase 3 machines and they all have problems. The machines are making clunking noises and the thread keeps tangling. The walking foot gets stuck, the tension is horrible. I don't know what to do now. The center can not afford to get these machine repaired. If anyone have any suggestions, please let me know. Now the pressure foot lever does not stay all the way up. | 0negative

Huge Engineering Flaw, Center Pivot Point Breaks With Moderate Stress, True.
Yes, there is a Huge engineering flaw with these scissors. And it is so big that there should be a recall of these scissors and the engineering team who designed should be fired. These are such nice scissors, every thing about these scissors is brilliant until one day out of no where the scissor break in two from the center pivot point and you realize, the pivot is made up of soft plastic!!! wa, what the... who designed something so amazing and strong and put TITANIUM blades that would last forever, and at the heart of it put a cheap plastic pivot!! I loved these scissors and I wanted to love them for ever and those engineers Killed it! I hate them, so much. | 0negative

Awesome touch
I had been directed by several of my weaving & spinning friends to go to a local discount store for this item. Being dissatisifed with the quality I searched in Amazon's Leather Hole Punch Tool, found this one priced in my price range, ordering & shipping was amazing, 2 days and I had my punch tool. The ease of working with this tool is very rewarding, comfortable to use does not make the hand or forearm tired. I would highly recommend this item for any crafter needing to punch. I will be making more leather vests in the very near future, due to this item. | 1positive

This item is a knock-off and not a Japanese book drill.
I ordered this product for a book making class I was taking. A japanese book drill was on the list of supplies. This item was described as heavy-duty and it is anything but. The add statedHeavy Duty Screw Punch...This heavy duty screw punch puts perfectly clean holes into board and paper for bookbinding.It jammed the first time I used it and wouldn't even go through the book board. The description goes on to say: " Precision made in Japan". The real Japanese Screw punch has the made in Japan embossed into the brass, the one I received had nothing anywhere that said Japan and it is definitely not a precision tool as it had a rough action when pressed down. And I never could get it to work properly. I contacted the seller and he said he'd refund my purchase in full, but upon receiving it he emailed me back that the package arrived ripped and empty. | 0negative

I like this pen for sketching
After using the Rotring Art Pen in Extra Fine nib, I really like this pen for sketching. The nib is flexible enough to be able to do very fine hatching strokes, and it's very reliable for this price range. No difficulty with loading ink from the ink converter. I didn't buy it here, but from an art supply store (price is a bit less). I highly recommend using the ink converter so you can fill in your own ink. I love using brown and red ink when sketching. For this price range, this is a great pen for sketching. For me, I love it so much I now have 2 in extra fine nibs, and 1 in fine nib.The nib is not as flexible as Namiki or Omas or Sailor, but it works well enough for what I want to use it for. | 1positive

Thin, terrible for tempera, feather weight.
We paint a large mural (12' x 40') every year at our high school with tempera paints. We tried a roll of this this year. The paper peels up horribly at the edges, and a second coat of paint creates holes in the paper. Flimsy, deceptively described, and to be avoided at all costs. | 0negative

A pathetic imitation of the Buttoneer
I bought the Original Buttoneer while in the Marines in 1972. It was awesome; no button fastened by it came off, ever. It was useful for fastening other things as well. So I bought this product in the hope that I could recpature the ease of use and reliability of the original. No such luck. This "Original Buttoneer" is useless. The brads are too short, too brittle, and the device is cheaply made and difficult to work. A total waste of money.it would take nothing for someone to re-create the original, change the name, and sell them here.S.J. Britt USMCR(ret.) | 0negative

ITS TOO FRAGILE
Thinking its small & light in weight, I purchased the product.But later I discovered the other unmentioned qualities.It cant do stitches on the clothes that are a little thick,so forget about using it on Denim jeans.While stitching, the threades get tangled every often.And entangling it will be equal to tearing your cloth apart because there are no ways out to have any access into the inside mechanism of the machine.Neither can one see inside in order to entangle the knots that have been caused inside.So please dont waste your money in order to save it.Its good for kids who wish to stitch frocks for their dolls. | 0negative

Had and loved it for years
I bought this little watercolor set when I was going to go on a study abroad trip and a small watercolor set was a recommendation. I decided to buy this one because it had several trays that could expand the set, it had a little thumb holder so you didn't have to balance the set on your knee or anything, and it had 12 colors - 6 felt like too many and anything with more than 12 colors felt enormous and I wouldn't want to pack it around.This set did me well and I still use it at home for my watercolors.The only reason I give it four stars and not five is that I've found that while the thumb loop (the blue, rubbery part of the case when you look at it from the outside) is handy and a great idea, it's only really useful if you hold your hand like you would if you were holding a glass palette (palm up, thumb across palm) while I really wanted to hold the set on my thumb while I gripped the side of my sketch book for stability. While it worked when I used the set this way, it did cause the palette to tilt a lot and it doesn't lay flat in that configuration so I ketp accidentally spilling the washed out of the mixing pans.I also never used the expandable trays when I was working in the field. They ended up being somewhat cumbersome with the way I worked, but at home it's great to have the removable trays to work from. | 1positive

Product Not NEW
This product did not arrive new. It came with refilled ink. The Epson photo cartridges have ink that is archival and fade resistant. I can't be sure that the ink that was refilled in this cartridge was the quality of the ink that Epson uses. I was VERY disappointed.

We had many pictures to print, and we had to use the faulty cartridge. | 0negative

Excellent Basic Easel
I purchased this easel for a small studio space that I'm building. It delivered on time and was well packaged. The easel was in excellent condition. Assembly instructions have something to be desired, and I would certaining suggest that the company spend a little more time in this department. Once assembled, (took about 20 minutes), I was pleased that the easel was a solid piece of studio furniture. Mine is sitting on a heavy canvas tarp on carpet, and it is very stable on this rather springy surface. The easel design is nice allowing the canvas space to move in just about whatever angle you need to have a comfortable painting experience. I especially like that it lays flat so if I wanted to, I could use it as a table when sketching my work onto canvas. This is the perfect easel for the space I have it in. | 1positive

Gave as a gift, when the recipient opened it, the lower half of the case was missing, and unfortunately it's outside the Amazon return window. There are clearly many quality control issues with this product. Avoid. | 0negative

Not worth it
When the punch arrived, one of the tubes wasn't even there. The others did not come in vertical to the anvil and would not have done a very good job. The only good thing I can say is that I didn't even have to return the item to get a full refund. I just tossed it in the trash. I then ordered the C.S. Osborne punch and that has been great. Buyer beware. | 0negative

Scheaffer Calligraphy fountain pen fine point
The pen arrived in plenty of time for me to print all the wedding place cards. It performed in a beautiful way . The point was perfect and there was plenty of ink in the one cartridge. I printed over 80 cards and there is still some ink left in the cartridge. It was very comfortable in my hand as I printed. There is an open area where one can see the reserve of ink.I would suggest this pen to anyone interested in using a very calligraphy fountain pen with the fine point | 1positive

Damaged my walls!
I used this behind pictures on my walls. Seemed to work fine, until we tried removing objects. Took the paint off of one wall, and on the other it took two layers of paint off down to the drywall. It had turned rock hard. Now I will have to have these places repaired. This was not the item pictured in my original order, but this one was the one that shipped (along with a jar of Chrystalline Clear Museum Wax), and the one I used. I am just sick.... do not buy this product. | 0negative

Great idea but inferior fabric
I ordered two of these kits as a gift for my niece with the idea that she could combine them and make a nice lap quilt. When they arrived, I was very disappointed to see the fabric was thin - more like something you would make pajamas out of. I was expecting the kit to be made of fleece to make a warm and cuddly blanket. Instead, it was more like knit flannel. I returned the kits and will keep looking. | 0negative

Wish I had bought this a long time ago.
I love my dressform! I've already been warned by a veteran dressmaker that this will probably break in about a year, but either way, I still plan on sewing for family and friends. The last time I had to make a dress for my bestie, the only thing I had to gauge the fit was a measuring tape and the garment itself. It worked, but I felt that I could have been wrong, since I couldn't look at it hanging on a model. Now I know exactly what's going on, how it hangs on the body, etc...LOVE it! | 1positive

Wonderful Gift for My Husband
My husband is a weekend painter so I really wanted him to have a easel that was easy to use, store, and is multi-purpose. I received the package in the time stated by Amazon, the easel was securely packaged and the easel was even nicer than it appeared on Amazon. The wood is wonderful, the fasteners on the drawer and easel are easy to use as his the adjustable heights for the easel. My husband was thrilled and immediately stored his brushes and paints in it for future use. He has since used the easel numerous times and says it is the nicest present he has ever received and cannot get over how easy and practical the easel is.....and I was able to find a nice place on a shelf downstairs for him to access when he is ready to paint (which is most weekends). | 1positive

nice packaging...
I liked the sleek, solid tin and the assortment of colors but I should have heeded the reviews who noted the colors didn't transfer well.If you are using these paints and want bold/dark colors, you either have to paint a layer, let dry, then paint again and add layers (which can destroy the paper) or seriously SCRUB the paintbrush onto the cake of watercolor (which will instantly destroy the tip of most paint brushes).Struck with a recent, sudden urge to watercolor (blame it on a gift of thePentel Arts Aquash Water Brush, (FRHMBP)- it makes watercoloring just as easy & clean as using pens or markers) I'd picked upCrayola Washable Watercolorsat a big box store and a few days later ordered this Art Alternatives set, hoping they'd be quality suitable for a bit more serious art. They weren't- I keep finding myself going back to the crayolas and only using this set to retint the crayola primary colors that aren't quite true primaries.Bottom line: if the depth of color and ease of use is less than a children's set of watercolors, and the price is exponentially more, this is a product to PASS on. | 0negative

Arm is backwards
I don't care for the design of the hoop holder... all the work must go to the inside of the machine and b in that small small area... not able to do it... I like the position with the brother P-150. I have that machine and wanted to upgrade to another model... But will not buy any machine that has the hoop holder on the outside... unless someone can give me a viable explanation...then I may reconsider... Thank you for allowing me to voice my thots. | 0negative

Quality yarn
Very good. Very warm, as well. There was a discrepancy from the yarn and my pattern on what size needles to use. I used a size down from the yarn's suggestion and was fine. | 1positive

Hard to work with
This yarn has inconsistent quality. When making a project, I prefer a yarn with even thickness throughout the skein. In the future, I'll choose a different product. | 0negative

Good for crafts? No! Good for garbage.
I received this shipment with high hopes, being excited to start making leather jewelry. I almost cried when I opened the box. Great packaging, garbage inside. Hard as wood scraps of gray and brown leather (I think it was leather as it mostly resembled concrete coated fabric) that no one could use for anything. This company has incredible nerve to send out such awful stuff. It is almost as if I was paying them to take care of their garbage. It was so stiff i could not bend it with my hands, and there is no way it could be used for crafts...or anything. Mostly tiny pieces, ugly ugly.Buyer beware! Their stuff is the worst I have ever received.2-Lb Assorted Leather Scraps. Great for Crafts | 0negative

Also received ONE, NOT SIX
Like other buyers, while this item is clearly labeled a PACK OF SIX, we only received ONE canvas. Website description, packing label, picture all indicate 6. Why would there only be 1?Note: I did contact Amazon customer service and they issued a refund, but it is a hassle to re-order, etc. And I still don't know if we'll get six next time. | 0negative

Wish I could go back in time and get the Kenmore
I hate this machine with every fiber of my being. I bought it to replace a Kenmore that was destroyed in a flood. I wish I had bought another Kenmore.This machine is advertised as fool-proof threading. That just isn't so. I had successfully sewn with it once before I started having problems. If anything is even slightly off with the threading I end up with a mass of thread on the underside of my fabric, which I have to rip out and start again. After the third time you can imagine what the fabric looks like. Every so often the planets are all in alignment and there is a northwesterly wind with exactly three birds in my crabapple tree and then the machine works properly. Of course this is just often enough that I keep coming back to the machine, hoping that today is the day it works correctly.As other reviewers have said there are tricks to the machine, of this I'm sure. I don't know what they are nor do I want to. Frankly, I'm just looking to put two pieces of fabric together. I don't care to spend time coddling the delicate temperament of my sewing machine.I can't say much about the actual sewing of the machine because, as I've said, I barely get to sew with it. | 0negative

My new Brother
This is the first time I have ever sowed and so far things are going great with my new Brother. The manual is real simple to read and gives you step by step procedures on everything. In addition, this is a great sowing machine to start off with simple to use and friendly to operate, and everything you need is included. | 1positive

Pleasantly Surprised
For what I paid for this product, I have been pleasantly surprised. I was worried it would break immediately, given that comparable products were selling for at least four or five times as much. But it has worked really well for me (but I have only owned it for a few months). I would say I usually punch about 30 pages at a time. For that, it is a great product at a great price. | 1positive

A Little Challenging
I bought this because I liked the design and after a 10 yr absence from cross-stitching have found this one to be a bit much. I should have started with a simpiler cross-stitch so if your a new to this I'd suggest a different one. The design is nice and the colors are very bright and I received it in a timely manner. | 1positive

Great Punches
Great punchers that don't stick, and have a "dots" catcher that is easy to empty. The cushioned grips make them very comfortable to use. | 1positive

Decent Pen Nothing Special
I might have given these pens a 3 star rating but one pen came without any ink. A decent pen at a decent price but nothing that would inspire me to purchase them again. For their purpose when they come with ink work as stated. | 0negative

Terrible product
The case itself was falling apart. It was impossible to get the thread through the needle hole either, so this product was a total waste of money on my part. | 0negative
