Spindly, damaged, not true to size
Singer's quality is not what is used to be. This dress form is too weak and spindly to be of much good for anyone. I am a size 10 but had to order the size Large form which if memory serves me, states it is for sizes 16-22 so these forms are not true to size. This form was damaged upon arrival and was returned. Pay more and get something sturdier. | 0negative

Great ideas for embellishing paper!
I had Tim's Distress Inks as part of my rubberstamping supplies, but really didn't know what to do with them. This DVD goes through various techniques of using Tim's products. His DVD is now in our local library collection for the rubber stampers in our community to enjoy. I've already signed it out twice! | 1positive

Wow, disappointed...
Never thought I'd give one star to this product. I do like Faber-Castell, I'm an artist and have many products of this brand.This set was a total disappointment. If you ever had 'real' German Faber-Castell items you'll understand what I mean. It's made in Korea not in Germany. It smells bad, the package quality is poor, the pastel quality is poor... urghI know it's all about the price and it's a good value for this money... but when I buy Faber-Castell I expect the famous German quality. | 0negative

Great machine for the price
Great machine for a beginner and a good back-up for someone more experienced. Easy to set up and use. Only additional items you need to purchase are thread and fabric and you are "good to sew." A great value with more stitches and functions than higher priced machines. The directions are very good, but they are given in several languages all listed for each step. Would have been helpful if the manual had a separate English only section or had a better division of the different languages for each step. | 1positive

Saved me money and time
I looked everywhere for the larger size Construction Paper (12" x 18" size) I just happen to see the paper here on Amazon. I ordered right away. No running around, No extra money for gas, the best part, it came right to my door.Thank You Amazon | 1positive

Don't buy this lighter
this lighter is impossible to fill, the piece at the bottom is very hard to turn and finding the right tool to turn it is very hard. I can't believe i wasted 30something dollars on a piece of crap. Do not buy this lighter!!! | 0negative

Constantly needs to be Babied
This sewing machine has never sewed correctly, and I mean NEVER. I took it out of the box and there was a plastic piece broken on the body, requiring me to hold it together with tape in order to use it.Why didn't I just return it like anyone would? Because we bought it, put it directly onto our shipment and then moved to Japan. You can't return stuff like this after it took 3 months to get across the ocean and has outlived its return date before you even know its a piece of junk. Target "customer service" was of no help, despite repeated calls.I have repeatedly tried my best to make it work, and it has eaten fabric after fabric, jammed inexplicably more often than stitched, and has incensed me so frequently as to discourage me from sewing for years and years. After babying it through a straight line of stitching, I am out the door this morning looking to buy a new one. The best value this machine could have brought to me is if I had walked through the door of my house with it, immediately turned and thrown it off my balcony to smash to pieces on the concrete below. That would have definitely provided a better value. Don't waste your money. I will NEVER buy from Shark again, no matter the product.Update:As all other machines I have access to here in Japan are rated badly as well, I have tried again and again with this one - it still jams incessantly, but I have found there are 3 typical places where the thread tends to slip out of line, no matter how perfectly you thread it. If you are lucky, you can catch it ASAP after a jam starts and before it rips the fabric. You just have to baby it, baby it, baby it, but I have finally gotten the feel of it enough to get through some projects despite the high number of jams. Good luck. I would still never recommend this machine to anyone - the one good thing about it is that the innards are metal instead of plastic, so at least this machine will be jamming up for much longer than other plastic machines sitting at the same price point. At best, this will be become a back-up machine as soon as possible for me. | 0negative

Better than expected
i was definitely surprised at how good this cutter is. i read alot of reviews about how cheap it felt. it is very light weight, but i cant spot any design errors or flaws. it fits perfectly in hand and cuts with ease. i had no problem going through paper, cardboard or fabric with multiple layers. | 1positive

An Elegant Touch!!
I just want to say how beautiful these little silk purple flowers looked on my scrapbook that I am currently working on, and because I received two sheets, I had some left over to make a couple of cards! They had a perfect and most elegant touch to everything and I couldn't be happier with this product. I will definatly buy from this company again. In the photo it doesn't provide how beautiful they really are in person. Silky and delicate. They are small, about the size of a nickel, but being small in this case definatly meant a big statement on all the crafts that I made with it! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU SHOULD TRY THESE OUT FOR YOURSELF AS WELL! YOU WILL JUST LOVE THEM! P.S. They have their own adhesive which is great, so there is no sticky glue involved! Have fun and let your creativity take you away with these gorgeous flowers! | 1positive

Flimsy and cheap materials
I used my punch for the third time -- and the moving handle literally broke in my hands. I was not using a death grip; indeed, I have rather small hands without a strong grip. The handle broke off and is irreparable. Oy. | 0negative

not adequate beyond scrap booking
I love the way the magnet makes the letters pop into the stem, but I needed lettering for light weight .025 sheet aluminum and these stamps were inadequate. The broader, flat letters (think H or K) were not reproducing. While I am new at this, my son is a jeweler and metal smith and he couldn't get them to work either. I guess the people at Michael's were guessing when they said this would work. I is a nicely designed product and the case is very convenient. I am sorry it did not work for me. I don't doubt that the previous reviewer was telling the truth saying it worked well for her. I just needed something with a sharper edge. Happy stamping. | 0negative

WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!!!
I have been looking at this machine for a while then decided to e-mail it my boyfriend as a "hint" for Christmas. Well, to my surprise it showed up and he gave it to me Saturday as a early Christmas present. This machine is far more than I expected with all of the different stitches, feet and it's so easy to use. Even for a first timer to the world of sewing. I would like to point out something very important about this machine. You see, I have MS (multiple sclerosis) so my eyesight, steadiness in my hands and strength in my legs are poor, so when I found out that you can operate this machine WITHOUT the foot control, it was a God send! All I have to do is push a button, and it starts sewing automatically and stops at a touch of a button. For anyone with a disability, this would be a great machine to have so now, we don't have to give up on things we love because of our disabilities. If your looking for a good machine that is easy to use, stop looking, this one is it!As far as the person goes that gave it a bad review about the font stitches. I had that problem too, until I figured out you have to adjust the top and bottom thread tension. Once you do that, you will get a perfect design. This is especially important if you are using decorative threads. Just give it some time, you will get the perfect effects you are looking for.I have owned many machines in my time, from cheap ones to top of the line ones, and this machine is the one I use all the time now. In fact, my top of the line model is now collecting dust!Please, don't be afraid to get this machine. You will love. Take it from me, a handicapped woman with a spirit that doesn't give up! | 1positive

Great colors and high quality
These water color pencils are excellent. Very nice water solubility and they are all well pigmented. I am very impressed by the quality and recommend them highly. They sharpen without breaking and I like the varied color selection in the 24 tin set. You get several shades of each color. I had these watercolor pencils before that I had purchased singley many years ado and I used them dry. This set that I recently bought makes me want to purchase all the Derwent pencils. | 1positive

Disappointing sewing machine--BrotherES-2000
This machine was a total disappointment. I bought it for my grand daughter who had just completed sewing lessons on an identical sewing machine. She was so excited and thrilled that she was going to get it, and when she did, the machine locked up every time she started to sew!I know it was the machine and not my grand daughter because my daughter, an experienced sewer, tried and tried to get it to work correctly!I returned the machine and bought a different model locally, which works like a charm.Brother ES2000 77 Stitch Function Computerized Free Arm Sewing MachineThe above rating of one star is really not my opinion--The site is set up so that you must rate at least one star, otherwise, the whole reviw will not be used. My rating is No Stars, had I been able to document it. | 0negative

Not a good hole puncher! :(
I bought 8 hole punches for a school project for my classroom. I think that I had four different kinds, two that I picked up here and three other kinds from office supply stores, Target and Wal-Mart. These two Swingline (which I thought would be great since I love the staplers) were the worst of the bunch and the most expensive!) Two that I got for under a dollar at another place worked at least twice as well. The others cost me either 1.50 or $2 each. One of the hole punches worked for a little while and then wouldn't work any more at all and the other worked but only kind of and was very hard to use. I wouldn't buy these again! I wish that there had been reviews before I purchased these back in October!!! | 0negative

brother sewing machine 25 stitch
Machine instructions are extremely confusing because the manufacture refers to different models in the same manual. So this machine is not for begineers. Even the simplified guide is confusing. The only successful thing I was able to do was thread the bobin and the needle. After sucessfully threading the bobin, you have to move this switch back into the position for sewing. When I did so and pressed on the foot pedal, the needle would no longer move. The motor would run but the needle would not budge. Had to return it. So disappointed. | 0negative

Nice stuff
I was doing Flemish oil techniques, and drying took up to three weeks. Switched to Liquin and was able to have applications drying sometimes overnight. Now I'm blasting through my work. It's amazing, and it gives my paintings depth and richness of color I really loved. | 1positive

This is an extremely small turntable
I was looking for a tilting turntable for cake decorating. This will work fine for 8 inch or smaller cakes, which cake decorators rarely make, but I have doubts about larger cakes like 14 inch. A two layer 14 inch cake is pretty heavy. The seller tells the diameter in the description and there is a 20% restocking fee plus buyer pays return shipping so it's not really worth returning if you don't like it. So don't buy it if you are looking for something to do stringwork on a wedding cake. I just think it's too small. Since most cake decorating turntables are 12 inches, I just assumed this one was too. It is made of plastic as well but the photo looks like a heavy duty steel. Don't just look at the picture like I did. Read the description before you buy.. | 0negative

jewelry sparkles
I inherited my Mother's Hagerty Jewel cleaner set and there were 2 packets of the cleaner with the cleaning chamber and loved how it cleaned my jewelry, my diamonds sparkle like new and my chains clean up to look like new again but I had used both packets so was happy to find the sonic jewel concentrate on Amazon.

Well made
Pit is a well made brass key but it was to small for my clock. So I'll have to try and find a better way to size before I order again. But the key still looks like a well made key that will lat for years to come. Just because I can't size my clock correctly should not stop you from looking further at this product. | 1positive

Poor Quality
I was pretty disappointed of the quality of the brush. I couldn't even make a thin, even straight line. The brush is rough. I should have known better because it was too cheap. YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET! | 0negative

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

Machine is great for a while but then nothing but problems
I want to start off by saying I LOVE this machine. That being said, I can't deal with the problems anymore.After using the machine for a while, the bobbin starts "knotting up". I've called Brother with no satisfaction other than "bring it to a repair shop". Really???? $50 minimum to repair on a machine costing under $80??? I've been through the manual and have gone through all the fixes plus a few of my own.Oh and I forgot to add that this has happened to FIVE of these identical machines!!! At first I thought it was me, but not after reading review on these machines from people who have owned them for a while. No, I didn't pay for all of them. I was real good at persuading the stores to exchange as each time the machine did not last a full 12 months! I kept on exchanging because I really do love the machine, but I'm getting sick of it lasting 6 months or so and then having these problems!I've searched the web time and again for a fix. Replacing the bobbin holder and needle plate would cost a minimum of $50 so that's not worth the while. If the parts were less expensive in relation to the cost of the machine I would not mind replacing these parts all the time, but not at their current replacement costs. | 0negative

Works Perfectly for My Use
I bought this tape to make magnets out of Instagram photos. I didn't expect to be able to hold things up with the magnets; I just wanted to stick the pictures to the fridge and have fun moving them around. I just adhered a little (half inch, maybe) strip of tape to the pack of the 2x2 pictures I cut out and they are so great! My daughter helped make them, and she loves arranging them on the fridge. We are making extra to give to the grandparents as gifts. Also, my daughter sometimes, for fun, put a few smaller strips on the back and those didn't stick as well. As you would expect, one strip works better. Anyway, this is a great product. We're going to have a lot of fun with it. | 1positive

This yarn works fine. But I did find that it easily unravels when knitting with 4 bamboo needles. That is to say it is easily "skewered".However, I would try knitting a sweater with it as it is really soft. | 1positive

disappointed

Not worth returning
I should have known better when I found it on the shelf for $3.99. But I thought "What the heck, if it doesn't work I'm just out 4 bucks." I just wanted something small to add flair to my craft projects. First of all, I'm a beginner when it comes to sewing, but I'm a reasonably intelligent person and the instructions were worthless. The "thread rod" is about 1 inch too long and doesn't hold the bobbin tightly. The handwheel, which is supposed to raise the needle, lowers it. Nothing short of just brute force would raise that needle in order to thread it. And if you have sewn before, you know where this is leading. Since the needle wouldn't raise, once I lowered it and tried to actually sew something (after about 1/2 hour of trying to thread it) it just made one hole over and over again because the needle couldn't clear the paper. At this point, I removed my 4 double A batteries (because they are worth more than the machine) and tossed it in the trash. Not worth the box it was packaged in! | 0negative

Heavy Duty?
If you only need to punch a few pages, this will do it. I'm not sure what exactly is "heavy duty" about it - it punches no more sheets, nor any better, than your standard walmart 3 hole punch. Your only advantage with this piece is that it will do the 2 hole punch as well. If you are looking for "heavy duty" keep looking. And if you print on paper thicker than tissue paper - you're not going to get 20 pages into thse little slots. | 0negative

Pretty great.
These are good Prismacolor markers, and I like the price. They have the 'new' fine tip (the one that looks like a brush and acctually works), and they're really nice for shading and greyscale pictures. However, you should be aware that there's only 10 colors in this set, Cool Grey from 10% to 90% and then three black markers.I wish that I'd bought these before I bought my color marker set, but they work wonderfully in conjunction with the colors too. | 1positive
|
disappointing
I was disappointed with this product. The handle cracked on its first use. You can cut through very thin pieces of paper (such as a single credit card receipt) but even with normal weight paper it jams or gets stuck. It wasn't worth the money. I have more success with snipping at receipts with a regular pair of scissors. | 0negative

Perfect drawing pen
Ever get sick of the smell of your large Sharpie? Or sick of the black smudges when you use your water based broad tip pen? Thats where I was when I found the Copic 100-S dual point marker. This pen is GREAT! Its a perfect complement for the artist working on comic book art. Whether your new or been doing it for a while, the Copic marker will speed up your process, give you razor sharp crisp black lines, and for me, actually made me feel like the art was more "finished" when I used this pen. The quality of ink is outstanding, the smell is nearly non-existent, and the longevity of the pan is going to impress you. If you work comic book art, or caricatures when quality lines and speed are important this pen is for you too! Highly recommended. | 1positive

TERRIBLE PRODUCT! SHAME ON YOU SINGER!!!
What a terrible product! Our daughter received this as a Christmas present ffrom her favorite uncle, and was so dissappointed when it wouldn't sew, and then the "chain stitching" came right out with only a little tug, so nothing she sewed stayed together! So for sewers out there, the problem is simple---NO BOBBIN! You're just punching holes in fabric. Shame on Singer for lending its name to such a poorly conceived product. It's actually kind of ironic that the manufacturer would risk putting a real needle on it, but then no bobbin to make it really sew. I've asked uncle for a gift receipt so we can return this $30 piece of junk....... | 0negative

Great product
Great value, works well, the legs to have it stand up by itself are a great option (my previous glue gun did not have these). It comes with a super handy glue mat that has saved my desk more than once from those pesky hot-glue-webs and drips. Would definitely buy this one again! | 1positive

As Advertised
I have a basic Brother embroidery machine purchased several years ago. I use it for simple designs when sewing for my grandchildren. I wanted to do some monograms and other home embrodiery but my machine has very limited designs. I am so pleased with the Brother PED-Basic. It is not difficult to use and met my needs perfectly without spending a great deal of money. I would definitely recommend it for someone with a similar situation. | 1positive

This product said kelly green, but it was like a much light shade green color, definitely not kelly!!!! I would not purchase this product. I even followed the given directions and I used hot water, salt, and everything. I've died items before and I've never had this to happen. It is hard to find kelly green pants so I was really excited to purchase this, but extremely dissapointed because it didn't work. | 0negative

Not For a Desk
If you have a work bench and can nail/screw the base of this lamp, it might be ok. It advertises that it can be clamped to the edge of a desk, but the clamp is not sturdy enough on its own to hold the lamp/magnifier upright.Assembly of the lamp is not difficult, I did like the magnifying glass feature, but the first time I moved the lamp, it fell out of the base/clamp onto the floor & the light bulb (not included) broke. The return policy was excellent & I used that the day after I bought the lamp. Nice concept, very cheaply executed.I do not recommend this product. See also the reviews for ALVIN Magnifier Swing-arm Lamp Black, also sold by Amazon. There are 21 reviews of that one, most of them positive, so maybe it's me. | 0negative

Noodler's Ink
I was using a nonpermanent ink which reduced the number of times & situations to use my pen. What a surprise. The Noodler's ink is not only permanent, but it flows much more smoothly than I even guessed ink could flow. I used a fountain pen in high school and gave it up because the pen leaked everywhere. I tried again a few years ago and the pen broke in less than a year. I thought I'd try one more time. As I still had bottled ink left over,I decided I'd use that before purchasing any new ink. I'm glad my thriftiness did not overcome my desire for permanence. I was very surprised. Very smooth writing ink,AMAZING! No tug or pull on the paper and it doesn't seem to bleed through. I prefer a blue ink, but haven't yet found any. Besides, I really like this ink...I'll probably just adjust myself to writing in black. | 1positive

Great glue sticks
I bought these for the mini glue gun I purchased. Since this is only for some crafting I've been doing recently, these work really well. The are the perfect size and the glue bonds very nicely.

Disappointed
I've used this paper for years and been happy with it. But when the shipment came in from Amazon this time, I immediately noticed it was no longer "photo" paper. It is now presentation paper. I'm not sure if it is the same product, but it appears Epson has downgraded it, which makes me wonder if it is no longer good for long-term photo use. There's no mention of that use on the new packaging. | 0negative

Not what I expected
I thought I would be able to create my own designs but the software this came with does not allow that. I think I would have to have version 8 to create (not entirely sure) but this one came with version 1 (can only DOWNLOAD pre-made designs from the Brother website). The device itself was handy but the embroidering choices the software came with were nothing really interesting for my taste and the website wasn't much better (all flowery and "lovey Dovey" with a few cheesy holiday designs). I don't know why brother just doesn't designing their sewing machines to read SD cards instead of their own proprietary cards. That would save a lot more money and make things easier and convenient... I actually regret purchasing this bundle with the version 1 software but I don't regret the reader. I suggest looking for a reader that includes version 8 software or any version that actually ALLOWS you to create your own design. | 0negative

Saw not as shown and blade won't stay on
The saw I received did not look like this one. Instead of what appears to be metal screws in the picture. The saw has little plastic triangular shaped pieces that can easily break and at times you have to tighten them to the point where they block your work. Unfortunately that wasn't the worst thing about it.I tried to saw a 1" line through a very thin, soft copper coupler. The saw repeatedly let go of the blade which I was able to pull out of the slot by hand, so it was not due to undue torque. The blade was not pulled lose, the screws that were holding it simply came loose. I was able to insert another blade freely without loosening the holder. The EXACTO saw appears to have the same problem from the review I read. You may want to pass on that one as well.At this point after struggling with it again I would give it ONE star or better yet no stars. It was a waste of money. I'm back to using a coping saw. | 0negative

Too thin
I purchased this after reading the great reviews and information at the manufacturer's website. This ink is waterproof. But it is also very thin, permeates nibs and runs all over the metal part of the nib. If you use a paper that is not very absorbent it may work, or on checks. But on normal paper, it flares and distorts writing. The color when dried is not totally black but a dark gray. | 0negative

Amazing!
Seriously the greatest sewing machine ever. I am learning to sew, but I'm picking it up quickly and wanted something that wasn't TOO expensive, but also something that I wouldn't outgrow. I've had it several months, and it has conquered multiple layers of thick fabric, including denim and PVC. It came with more accessories and feet than I could dream of wanting. The automatic buttonhole and drop-in bobbin made my mother jealous, too, as she has an inexpensive Sears model.Highly reccommended for average sewing and more. | 1positive

Packaging tape does same job for less
While this tape is a tiny bit thicker than the standard Scotch packaging tape, I can't see that it is really worth the higher price. As with all new products, I like to try them out exactly how the directions say before doing things my way, and the directions for repairing a paperback book are pretty much useless. The tape rips easily, so trying to make precision cuts with a normal pair of scissors was basically impossible for me to do without the tape simply ripping the whole way across. What "tabs" did manage to not tear off were of no use repairing the book in question, so I quickly abandoned the suggested way and did my own thing. I am thoroughly not impressed with the product and am very disappointed in its quality, especially considering the price. | 0negative

I have been wearing them for years.
I have worn watch bands like these for years.I was told recently , "I noticed your watchband and that was how I recognized you ".As far as "quailty" of this watchband , the leather straps are about half as thick and the buckles are rounded on one side.The thickness of the strap makes putiing your watch on easier , however I expect it will wear out sooner.As hard as these are getting to find.I will order another one,to have when it wears out.I am 47 and I know that prices go up , and quality goes down. I really should give this 5 stars and say 100% great.If you wore one "back in the day" ,you will be happy with this one. | 1positive

This software is hard to install correctly. Needs to have drivers updated on the CD so it will install on a newer operating system. Once installed it is working to save my embroidery designs, then easily use on my machine. | 1positive

Disappointed, after 2 machines.
I had this machine on my Christmas list, and finally was able to afford it about 4 weeks ago. I got it in the mail, and like all the reviews say, it comes threaded and set up to use. It was great. I made a shirt the first night I had it out. I made a skirt the next day, with a nice lettuce edge. I edged two large pieces of tulle with a napkin hem. Great - beyond some weird thread breaking issues on the lower looper. I know how to thread this machine inside and out now.But - and here's the kicker. The very next time I went to use it (for a Mother's Day gift no less), something was wrong. It wouldn't cut anymore. Looked like the knife possibly broke, and the knife lever didn't work. I called Brother - they referred me to a local repair shop. After researching said local repair shop, it appeared to be very shady - and my sweet serger didn't deserve that. Plus - it was a new machine! I shouldn't have to take it in on week 2 of ownership. Not my problem - I have little kids at home and driving a 2 hour round trip to take a new broken machine in is ridiculous to consider! At least the Brother rep was somewhat apologetic. Sort of. I returned it to Amazon as defective. I cried over it too..Round 2 -I replaced my first machine with the same model, and pledged to myself that this was it - if this one breaks, that's it. Two "lemons" in a row, and I'm done with this brand. Well, the machine came, and I opened the box. The thread had all bounced off the bobbins - bad sign that it was juggled a bit in shipping. I set it up to run, rethreaded it (not too bad, by the way - the lowerlooper is the tricky part), and got to work. And it squealed like a pig. Seriously! There was no purr, it howled in pain when I ran it. The access door on the front would barely open too. Seriously? What are the odds??? My decision was instantaneous - either take it to the hole in the wall repair shop or return it - I returned it the next day. I killed 2 machines in 3 weeks.Moral of the story? Buy a cheap serger, expect it to act like a cheap serger. Some people (most it appears) are lucky, and don't have this experience. Not me. I've since test driven better quality machines, and I know what to look for now. I'm saving for a more expensive, reliable, non-Brother machine. Sorry, the bad experience ruined me. If a sketchy repair shop is all you can offer me, I'm going to look elsewhere.Other moral? Before you buy an expensive machine like a serger, with lots of mechanical parts, buy it locally and from a reputable dealer. Most (if not all) local shops offer warranty work and their own protections for your machine if something goes wrong. When you buy online, you have to send to the service hub in your area, as Brother doesn't offer any other option for internet purchases. Also, most shops over an upgrade policy - turn your machine in within a time period towards a better machine. A great deal if you ask me.Just something to consider, if you are going to use the serger more that a few times a year. | 0negative

Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set
Was extremely dissapointed with this product....Only two ink colors that were dry. No matter how hard my grand daughter pressed down, you could barely see the print. Pencil's were cheap & barely showed color.....It went in the garbage & I will never buy from this seller again. | 0negative

this is like magic
This blender took my colored pencil to another level. All of my colors become richer and it makes for more vibrant picture. Must have for artists. | 1positive

love this yarn
I had a very hard time finding this yarn in stores. I much rather go to a store than buy online. BUT when I did order it and I received it very quickly. Plus I didnt have to pay shipping. The yarn looks great in my project. I will definitely be using this yarn again. I look forward to purchasing it through Amazon again as well. Thumbs up from me. | 1positive

This paper is NOT suitable for painting!
I am a professional artist and this paper is listed as "thick heavy duty paper that can be painted on without warping" which is totally misleading. It's just as thin as plain paper! And i felt no texture what so ever. | 0negative

....want to pull your hair out...buy this.
This item worked while it was all setup from the box...but I could not repeat the process.There are other good deals out there ..ie more substantial machines.I bought one for $50..that works....a Euro Pro. | 0negative

super-convenient size
the scissors aren't very good, but you can cut a thread and i guess that's really all they are meant to do. the size and convenience are what i really like about this kit. | 1positive

Worked great
I bought this to dye a scarf i had my fav color pink, to match my hat and gloves. The instructions were simple and the color came out beautifully. The only problem is the color came out much lighter than expected. Its a soft baby pink, not a deep pink as described. | 1positive

Excellent! Day In-Day Out
I purchased this Heavy-Duty 3-hole punch when my daughter was in college. We had a routine back then for archiving her English and research papers. She'd send me an email with the completed paper attached. I printed it out for her to review. If it was acceptable, I saved a copy on my computer and printed an additional copy to archive in a D-ring binder. That's where this "Bad Boy" (the Sparco 3-hole punch) enters the story. It always produced a perfect set of punches with sharply cut holes. I love to hear that "shhh-wsh" sound of the blades cutting through the paper. Oh well, that was then...but it continues to perform flawlessly, Day In-Day Out, and I am confident that it will continue to do so for many, many years to come. I highly recommend this product. | 1positive

Great easel for painting or drawing. It has draws for storing paint and brushes and is very sturdy. My daughter loves it! | 1positive

Not the color of the picture/description
The picture of this roll of Art Kraft Paper was different than what I received. I was expecting a brighter, lighter green. We already have 6 rolls of the color we received. This paper does us no good! | 0negative

good scissors
One of the features is that these scissors are made in the USA. Unfortunately, upon receiving the package I found the label stating that these are made in China. As nice as Fiskars products are I believe I will pass on future products from them.As usual, Amazon's delivery was prompt and the packaging was good. | 1positive

Washes off like butter!
Crayola's Washable Kid's Paint is great! I loved art as a kiddo so I purchased this assortment for my 15 month old in hopes of getting her familiar with art. I was very pleased with how easily the paint washed off her skin and our clothes. The colors were vivid and seemed to be made well. Other reviewers have commented that the containers are small and, yes, they are, but it clearly states that the paints are only 2oz each--perfect size to test out with your little! | 1positive

Just fine
I bought these scissors to keep with my cross stitch. I store them in a Ziploc bag with the thread I'm using that day. Folding scissors are a necessity so my fabric doesn't get torn. I only use these scissors on thread and they work just fine. Other reviewers mentioned that they are hard to open and close. I agree that they are stiffer than other folding scissors I've owned. But for my purposes that isn't a hindrance. These inexpensive scissors serve me well and I recommend them to other needle workers. | 1positive

Buttoneer by Avery Dennison
Very very disappointing. This is NOT the original as I had in earlier years!Mine was a single needle with fasteners that came separatly and were much longer and very easy to use. This one is more like a toy and the fasteners are only suitable for very small buttons on a single layer of material and DO NOT WORK on trouser waistbands. Cannot recommend. | 0negative

Beware It is Tiny.
Don't be fooled by the pic with the toddler girl in the chair (blue shirt yellow pants), she is not a normal sized child or the chair in the picture is much larger then the chair you receive, which by the way they also shipped to me in the wrong color. Sooo disappointed. | 0negative

Excellent resource
This book is a fantastic reference tool. I have other serger books, but this one is the only one in my library that comprehensively & clearly explains what the components of the serger are & what they do. It also explains what each of stitches look like & what each is best for. It has great troubleshooting info, as well. While it's a beginner level book, I expect that I'll have this beside my serger & refer to it frequently for quite a while to come. There's enough info in there that would make it worthwhile for an experienced sewist/serger user. I agree with another commenter who said that the book should be spiral bound. I may take it to Office Depot or Staples & have them do it for me. | 1positive

Broken Pen
The pen itself was visibly as depicted: a Murano-style glass pen, with all the slight irregularities that should be expected of hand-shaped glass. I could not rate how the ink flowed from the pen, as the pen had been very poorly packaged and had arrived broken in two places. Most disappointing, as this pen was intended to be given as a gift. | 0negative

clock key
This key is perfect for winding my old clock. It was very reasonably priced and shipped promptly. All I needed was to provide the key size which I did by borrowing a master key from a local jeweler. | 1positive

Fantastic paint set
These paints have been wonderful. I purchased them for my toddler and they work well. It does take a little bit of practice for them to be able to hold the bottle straight up and down, but my two year old is able to do it. The paints are a wonderful alternative for traditional finger paints (for days when you don't feel like washing down the walls after art time...). They come in vibrant colors, dry quickly, clean up easily and overall are a lot of fun. | 1positive

Won't buy again.
I like the colors and the package arrived timely and well packaged. My only problem is that the paper doesn't cut well. I thought maybe I needed a new blade in my cutter, changed it, still tore when cut. I have 2 different brand cutters, both tear the paper. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and asked my friend to try on both her cutter and mine, tore every time. So if you think that you may have to trim this paper to a smaller size or shape, don't get it. I ended up hand trimming the little jagged pieces off and just don't use it if I need something small. Won't buy again. | 0negative

Don't waste your money!!!
This item is a total lemon - check out all the sites on this and read the reviews before you purchase - I wam sorry I did not. After a few times sewing the bobbin holder will pop out of the machine and get the thread all tangled up in it and you can no longer sew. The holder no longer stays in place - professionals cannot fix it because they say the machine is like paper in the inside a total waste of money. Really it is crap - don't be fooled and Euro Pro does not even answer their phones or make the product anymore. So parts or any help is not available. Really a total joke! | 0negative

Can't Sew One Stitch!
I am a complete beginner, and recently developed a new resolve to learn to sew...and bought this machine upon high recommendations of the sales person in a sewing shop. First, the auto threader does NOT work - maddening to even try. ...especially over and over and over again! Once manually threaded, it just jamms immediately when I try to sew a seam. Could easily be my mistake, as a complete novice, but I have followed the directions VERY carefully...From the reviews, I think it could be the machine. It just shouldn't be this hard to thread it and get a few stitches sewn!! | 0negative

Very sturdy box!
Would have given it 5 stars if it would have been just a BIT bigger, but all in all a very nice wooden toy bench / box. Might be a hair overpriced too, but the value is in the construction of the parts - solid wood, easy directions, and it even comes with wood glue to help the pieces hold for longevity. We have 2-year-old twins, so I've put together my fair share of tables, toys, cribs, etc, and this was the sturdiest thing I've assembled thus far. I'm 220 lbs, and have no fear of sitting on this bench. Great birthday gift for our boys! | 1positive

Didn't do it for me
I bought this product because I saw a video about it and I thought "oh wow, how easy is that!". When I tried to find the video again, I couldn't find it so I just followed the instructions that came with the product.The bottom line, this product did not work very well with my machine. I have a machine that has a dedicated jeans foot and I used a jeans needle and that seemed to work better on my machine than when I used this gadget. Maybe I used the gadget wrong, but from looking at the instructions, I don't see how it could be any more clearer. I'm just glad that I didn't pay a lot of money for this. | 0negative

It's made cheap and didn't work. The trigger didn't work and the plug in seemed to small. The chrome on the plug flaked off. The worst object that I have bought off of Amazon | 0negative
