graphite transfer paper pyrography supplies
Very nice large sheets, Great for image transfer, duplicationof your artwork when you want to create a set. I found it finefor working on wood for pyrography art, it burns to almost a paste,and must be lightly sanded off of your wood burning project.It causes a slight black ridge on the outer edges of the burn line.sanding after burning is a must if you are going to use anycolor in your project.[...] | 1positive

Excellent weather-resistant field for all environments
I¡ve used my Rite in the Rain ¡All-Weather Field Book¡ for almost a year now (well I¡m on my second one after filling the first one) and I¡ve been nothing but happy with it. I started out carrying one in my pocket during the winter at Ft. McCoy, WI and have transitioned to the deserts of Iraq with little problems.My notebooks have stood up to temperatures ranging from -7F to 130F and moisture ranging from snow to rain to perpetually dry. I switch between using pen and pencil and have had not experienced any difficulty writing with either (even when the pages are wet). The pages of each notebook are no worse for the wear, and there is minimal structural damage to the covers (although they¡ve gotten pretty dingy at this point).Although the price of the Rite in the Rain notebooks seems high, their ability to stand up in all conditions justifies the cost. I have been able to save archives of my notes in other Rite in the Rain products and haven¡t had any problems with the ink fading or other similar signs of aging.If you are looking for a versatile field notebook, the 980T is an excellent place to start. It¡s sized to fit easily within a cargo pocket and the self-contained binding make sure that pages stay intact. | 1positive

Great set of kids' patio furniture
You do have to stain it yourself, but once you do, the table and stools are durable and super-cute. I especially like how sturdy the stools are--not much danger your little ones will be able to tip them and fall over (as they would with little chairs). We get compliments all the time. The price is great too! I'm not sure why Amazon wanted me to rate this set's "educational value," since it's not a toy, but oh well. You won't be sorry, get this set for your kid! | 1positive

Great deal
The glue gun works very well, a great deal for the price. It takes at least 4 minutes to warm up, but not too much longer than that, but I feel like it keeps the glue at a hotter temperature, so if you're trying to glue on something that isn't quite a flat surface the glue just runs down. But I guess I'm just used to my rich mom's gun that is hot in less than 2 minutes and always stays the right temperature that keeps the glue gooey and sticky. (I actually use the gun to glue in between/fill in the wires on my rats' wire cage in their high activity areas so that the bedding doesn't fall out between the wires, so the gun doesn't work too well for my purposes, but it's great for gluing stuff back together). The mat it came with is neat. I can't believe how the hot glue can just fall off the mat, it's so easy to clean. And pretty convenient that the gun comes with sticks. | 1positive

Not Worth Retail Price
I've been sewing for almost 25 years, and even though it's billed as being a "jeans machine" it's not up to the task of thick fabrics or decorative trim. The bobbin tends to lock up and freezes the machine. This requires a complete disassembly of the bobbin housing and needle carriage (not as simple as popping the bobbin out, I mean unscrewing the entire bottom part of the machine).If you know how to take apart machines or are not intimidated by something that you'll spend more time repairing than you will sewing, by all means, go for it, but it will probably never do better than Halloween costumes or quilt block assembly, which are better served with a low-end overlock machine. It probably is a reasonable buy for an un-daunted sewer at a garage sale, but not worth the retail price.I had a much cheaper sewing machine in college - about $80 from a discount store - that lasted longer and outperformed this machine. | 0negative

Finally
It took me a long time to find end-caps that fit my larger needles for afghan making. It seems counter intuitive since it takes so long to knit those and the stitches are large enough that they can slip off needles easily if you're not careful. They just seem a little pricey for what they are. | 1positive

Poor quality
First let me say that previous reviewers are correct that if you remove the height adjuster, the function of this product is pretty good. Its large head WOULD make this and attractive product for pilled bed sheets or sweat shirts, etc. I was impressed for the first ten minutes after a full charge - then the charge started to die. I thought maybe the battery needed some conditioning so accepted this, its in other reviews, besides I don't want to spend 2hrs shaving my clothes. Used it 2 more times, then it BROKE. I could hear something moving in the handle. For 13 bucks I figured I'd take it apart to see what was going on. What did I discover? the positive connection solder on the 500mah NiCad battery had broken. 500mah - to drive a motor. You'll never get more than 10-15min of use out of a junk battery like this, and the solder was so thin, I can't imagine this will hold up for any extended use.Look elsewhere. | 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

Does What Gesso is Supposed to Do
This (white) Liquitex Acrylic Gesso Surface Prep does exactly what I expected: applies great (white) smooth coverage while providing excellent "tooth" to my surface. I always prep my canvas surfaces with gesso before doing any acrylic painting, as I like the smoother surface as opposed to canvas texture and want the extra "grab" that gesso provides. Also, like most gessos that I'm aware of, this can be colored/mixed/blended with acrylic paints.Most recently, I was experimenting with some different techniques predominatly using a deep red and burnt umber, decided I didn't like it, and went over it with this gesso to bascially start over. It took 3 coats to cover it completely, but I only had to wait about 2-4 hours between coats for it to be completely dry. After having let it sit overnight, it was a blank surface and ready to go.As far as gessos go, this Liquitex brand is a bit thicker than the Daler Rowney acrylic gesso I use, but because of this, it provides a richer coverage. Also, because of the thickness, I did need to wait a while longer for it to be fully dry than I did with my usual gesso. I think I will keep both brands on hand and use according to my needs, and I recommend this Liquitex brand gesso for when a thicker, fuller consistency and coverage is desired. | 1positive

BIG WASTE OF MONEY
This is the biggest waste of time and money. The concept is good, a small, simple machine for someone like me who would do occasional craft stuff. But this machine cannot even do a simple stitch without jamming and bunching up. This machine ought to be discontinued! I returned it the day after I bought it. | 0negative

Bad Duplicate of Great Item - Not Original!
My parents HAD the original buttoneer - it had one needle/prong, not two like this one and others I have seen lately... Its original sales pitch was that it can attach single holed buttons... The plastic fasteners were much longer/larger and stayed put... These tiny ones are a joke, if they stay for a single wear/use of the garmet they will not last for a second use or washing... The original was so tough my 13yr old hand could not pull the button off when I tried! Trust me, this is NOT the original... perhaps its the original 'inproved' edition... but not the first. Dont buy it - I wasted my $$! | 0negative

I had ordered this based on a few reviews i saw, but when I used it to dye a sweater I've had for 10 years it did not work. Bought another brand of dye and it worked great on the same sweater. And i followed the directions to a t. So i do not recommend this product. | 0negative

BLOCKS NOT SHEETS; PLY, NOT BALSA WOOD

As in prior reviews, mine arrived broken :(
As in prior reviews, my serger also arrived broken. The thread stand was screwed on too tight and snapped off during shipment. Still waiting for a replacement which is being sent using the same slow DHL to USPS method. Will hopefully arrive in one piece. Will amend this review if I ever receive a working product. :p | 0negative

Good product, great price!
I was in the market for a fairly high power, but cost effective magnification product. This product fit the bill perfectly. I can't verify 30x power, but I can say that I can the see the smallest dots of ink on my aviation charts! For the price, I couldn't be happier :) (~$8, ~13 w/ shipping)p.s. If you have never used a loupe, the area that is magnified is very small. You must look at the direct center of the loupe. The loupe will need to be close to the object ( < 1 inch) and you will have to get close up to the loupe ( < 6 inch). | 1positive

i like it
ive never actually owned a dress form before, i made one out of duct tape once :). The form is nice because of its flexilbility as far as measurements and the fabric that covers it kind of grips the fabric. i like it, i would definitely recommend it. | 1positive

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

SURPRISED AT SINGER'S POOR QUALITY
This machine broke on me twice. The first time was back in April 2006 (I returned it within 30 days). The replacement took 6 months to develop the same problem- grinding noise and needle not locking while winding the bobbin. Don't be attracted by the many features and great price. From the standpoint of an experienced seamstress, this machine is poorly crafted and jamms easily. Caveat Emptor. | 0negative

What you're looking for
Do you need an hose to connect your Badger airbrush to a compressor? Well you can't go wrong with this one! Even though 10' is far longer than I need I haven't had any issues. The fabric housing has held up really well and makes it easy to handle. | 1positive

horrible quality
If i could give it a minus star review I would, do not waste your money on this. Although it's a good idea the quality of the thread is cheap and some bobbins were not threaded properly the thread was bunched up. I will be using the thread for hand sewing clothes for my nieces dolls, so as not to feel guilty for the waste of money. | 0negative

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

weeks late...
normally this is good yarn, but certainly not worth the 6 week wait for items that were in stock and supposed to ship in 1-2 days. There was a 4 for 3 promotion, so I bought 16. I must have missed the fine print that said the free portion would be shipped a month and a half after the regular priced order. I would have been better off at Walmart! | 0negative

Totally not worth it.
Received them quickly. I was so very excited to try them after everyone's rave reviews. I was disappointed. I guess getting them on sale was my biggest mistake. The set came with the 05 totally dry and the 03 ran out after one use. I even thought it might be clogged but I was using them on dry bristle paper so there is nothing to clog the point. I continued to use the others and 3 month into using them they are all totally all dry. So I am very disappointed. I will not buy these again. I will spend the extra money and get the refillable pens. | 0negative

Godsend
Times were that a button fell off, I either dealt with it or bought a new piece for my wardrobe. I have sewn so many buttons only for it to fall back off in a matter of weeks. I just couldn't do it. I have Michelin Man hands to boot so...Anyway, this is very easy to use and (so far) the fasteners are holding like a dream. My only complaint is that on thicker fabrics it can be difficult to get the needles thru while trying not to break them as I have read reviews stating their needles broke easily. So far, no breaks and all's well. I know I sound like an infomercial but I couldn't be happier to be rid of needle and thread. | 1positive

These are THE scissors for hand arthritis!
Having arthritis in both thumbs, it's really, really difficult to use regular scissors anymore.These scissors are wonderful. I have two pair and have given several away as gifts. They are in constant use in our house.Plus they get used for meat and poultry and I can put them in the dishwasher with my other silverware.They come out sparkling clean. No rust.Some people complain about the little tab getting in the way.To those naysayers I would say "it's just not a big deal".Yes, sometimes it does slip down but I would rather have it there to be able to close and lock the scissors.Thank you, thank you Oxo!! These are great!PS - Amazon Prime is great too! | 1positive

Don't bother!
I bought this machine on 17 February 2007 and packaged it for return on 6 March. At first, it worked like a gem, the instructions were easy to understand, and I completed 2 garments using it. But then on the third garment, the fabric started bunching up and the thread kept getting caught on the bottom, and I kept receiving "E6 tangled thread" error messages. I took the bobbin case apart, cleaned it with the little brush and then attempted to replace the bobbin case. I could never get it back in properly. I tried everything, changed needles, tension, stitches, etc, followed all the suggestions on Brother's website and still couldn't get it to work. I called Brother's customer service the next day and the person took me through all the steps again and was only able to get about 4 inches of stitces before it crapped out on me again. Even though the machine was still under warranty, her only suggestion was that I take it to the service center, 150 miles away. Fortunately, Amazon has agreed to refund my money and I have decided to have my old Singer fully serviced, as it will be a much more reliable machine in the long run. Don't waste your money on these little cheapo models, you'll spend more time messing with breakdowns then sewing. | 0negative

Finally--A Keepsake Book for Dog Lovers
If you have a special dog in your life, this book is for you. Its friendly, upbeat tone and beautiful illustrations help you to chronicle your puppy's first year. You will be guided toward jotting down many of the important moments in your puppy's life, from those memorable "firsts," to charting your puppy's growth spurts. There are places for special photos, even pockets for storing papers and that initial rabies tag. But more than that, this book also offers basic information such as what ought to be in your puppy's first aid kit, and helpful tips for training your puppy. It is a book to treasure. It would be a very thoughtful gift for anyone who is excited about owning a new puppy. | 1positive

Gorgeous cross-stitch; easy to complete
This one hangs framed in my bedroom. I like the quaint lighthouse, the welcoming stone pathway, and the gardens, which makes one want to mentally walk down that little path and explore it and the beautiful shoreline.Like all the Dimensions Gold Petite kits, it is a great little project for beginning cross-stitchers or someone who is looking to make a great handmade heirloom gift for a loved one. The picture does not do the piece justice, it is an absolutely gorgeous piece when completed. There is enough detail and variety in the picture to keep the work interesting, but not so much that you go crazy with thread color changes. I did choose to make the lake water a little bluer in mine.It is small, and can fit in your purse in a ziploc bag, so it is very likely to get done in a timely manner (unlike many of my other bigger projects!).I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. It would also make a great gift for anyone over 12. | 1positive

Not worth the money!!!
I've had my unit for a few weeks and have not been able to get more than 15-20 minutes of use from it until it needed to be recharged. Now it appears the battery will not take a charge or the charger is not charging. When I place the battery on the charger it blinks, which indicates it's charging. After hours of charging the light turns solid, which means the battery is fully charged. I place the battery on the glue gun and the low battery lights up and the gun will not heat at all. This product is useless. I went to WalMart and bought a $5 gun that works much better. Save your time and money and do not purchase this product. | 0negative

Such cute colors!
For some reason I'm going thru a pastel phase. Maybe it's because I never went through one as a child? Whatever the reason, I can't get enough of anything pastel colored and it's driving my husband crazy!I plan on using these to hand embroider some white pillowcases. I'm very excited to start, but plan on it being one of my winter projects so I have a few more months to go before I use the floss.As usual DMC quality is great. I've been working with wool floss lately, so this will be a nice change of pace. | 1positive

Very high quality. Does exactly as advertised. Waterproof paper that can be soaked and dried several times without a loss of quality. Write even when wet.

Poor quality Singer sewing machine made in China
I purchased this sewing machine with high hopes and put my trust in the Singer brand name.But found instead that this is a poorly made machine that couldn't even perform at the lowest level.The metal feet that are supposed to advance the fabric don't move the cloth forward at all, but instead just go up and down, which doesn't help at all. The large dial that is suppose to change the length of the stitch didn't make any difference whatsoever. Even a simple straight stitch was a mess.Avoid this machine. | 0negative

Don't waste your time.
I decided to take up sewing again, after many years. Everyone said to obviously get a Singer. I thought for the price, and because of the mostly 5 star reviews, I would try out Brother anyway. I sewed on a couple buttons to try the button foot and I was pleased. I went out and spent a lot of money creating a sewing kit and picking out fabric for my first project on my new machine. 75% of the way through the project (and after an hour of sewing) the machine stopped working correctly. I re-threaded the bobbin multiple times, everything was good. After taking off the top plate, I saw that the top thread was no longer catching where it should. After research on fixing and consulting my grandma (a lifelong sewer), I determined that even if this is a fixable problem, no machine should break that soon. To save myself countless hours of headaches in the future, I decided to return it immediately and purchased a Singer instead. My grandma said that her Singer was doing the same thing last year and she finally had to repurchase one - AFTER 40 YEARS OF PERFECT USE. Sorry Brother, your printer and fax machine that's sitting in our home office is okay, but I'm sticking with the pros (Singer) on this one. | 0negative
|
Absolute garbage
This was a deeply disappointing experience for my daughter (and for me). Whoever at Singer approved putting that respectable name on this piece of junk ought to be fired. As others have said, even the pre-sewn stitches on the piece of fabric pulled out instantly, and it was not possible to produce any stitches that held. Do not waste your time or money on this pitiful piece of garbage. | 0negative

not transparent enough
I bought this tape for variety of color choices at a lower price for highlighting student vocabulary words in our class poems.It was a waste of money.The tape is too opaque to read the word it highlights, making it only good for underlining rather than covering the words.It is too hard to sever with the cutting teeth on the roll (even for me) stretching before breaking off.Very disappointed.It also is a very small quantity. | 0negative

Wooly Good Stuff!
I wasn't sure about this product, since the reviews were fairly mixed. I gave it a try, frankly, because it was so convenient to order as an add-on. And it worked great! I dyed a pair of gold-and-green wool gloves. I followed the instructions pretty closely - except I forgot about them for a while and they soaked for four hours instead of one. In any case, the outcome was fantastic. A nice brownie batter color that didn't run or fade after a couple of runs through the washer. Good stuff! | 1positive

NOT FISKARS BRAND!
The sewing kit I received looks exactly like the one in the picture, but it is NOT Fiskars brand, which is why I bought it in the first place. I saw it and thought that Fiskars would make a good travel sewing kit. This is a cheap, made in Taiwan sewing kit by some company called Dura Sharp. The scissors (what Fiskars are world-famous for) will not even cut thread! This is a really cheap kit that belongs in a 99 store. I would NOT recommend this to anyone! | 0negative

Useless, total ripoff!
At best, this is a mediocre vacuum when it has a fresh filter. However the filter clogs constantly. I have to clean it twice with an unused paint brush to vacuum my small one bedroom apartment (and I don't even have pets!). I've been trying to order replacement filters from anyone, anywhere in vain. Igia.com appears to be the only place you can order replacement filters. I try to place an order online and it won't go through because they say there's something wrong with the expiration date on my card (I've been using my card all along, there's nothing wrong with it). I emailed them but they don't email back barring a useless automated reply. I called their 1-800 number repeatedly and after being left on hold for 10 mins, it disconnects. So now I'm stuck with this useless vacuum cleaner that was never great to begin with. In addition, the folks I ordered from (Lazer Storm, 4540 Worth St, Los Angeles, CA 9006; SingerLazer.com) said I'd receive a free steamer with my vacuum. It never came. I emailed them and received no reply. Since then, their URL address is no longer online and their 1-800 numbers is now some singles line. DO NOT BUY THIS USELESS PIECE OF GARBAGE! I've been taken and so will you if you buy it! | 0negative

Out of business, but you can get the batteries replaced
They're out of business, and the units sold towards the end of their existence often came with dead batteries. If you have one of the Cold Heat glue guns, you can get the battery pack rebuilt at a BatteriesPlus store. I had mine rebuilt with higher-capacity rechargeable AA-sized batteries. Works better than when new. | 1positive

Better off using an axe...
I bought this at Home Depot when I picked up a sheet of acrylic. I wish I hadn't. This thing is useless and it ended up ruining the piece of acrylic. You really would be better off just using an axe to cut with...or get the OLFA cutter...it works much, much, MUCH better. | 0negative

EXPECT TO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, AND NOTHING MORE.
The scissor is very stiff, because the blades rub against each other. Which makes it a little difficult to use. But what can you expect for $3? The best thing that I can say for it. Is that it is better than nothing. I am spending more to get a decent replacement. | 0negative

bad dog foot
I got my machine 2 years ago. Thought all my issues were with me. Turns out it is thefeed dogs. It wont stay in the proper position to feed the fabric as you sew resulting ina tingled mess of thread. The feed dogs finally dropped all the way down and wont come back up. | 0negative

loud & leaky
I purchased this item for my 52 yr old boyfriend. It was so loud ~ he had to put it in his shed. It was leaking by day 2! He extended the days that it should have ran to clean up the rocks & polish them. They just had a small shine to them. We were extremely disappointed. | 0negative

Lead warning
The back of the package indicates that the power cord on this product contains lead, and the user should wash their hands after operating the unit. While it is possible that it might be mis-worded and the lead is on the inside, it wasn't worth the risk for me to keep it. What's more, there's no reason for most consumer-grade products to contain any lead anymore, even on the inside. Check out ROHS for more information if you're curious about where lead is allowed in consumer products. | 0negative

Scissor Sharpener
This product will only work on small stuff. If you've got normal sized scissors get another product. | 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

Granddaughter Disappointed on Birthday Today!
I purchased 3 or 4 items from Melissa & Doug for the first time and was quite surprised when my 7 year old granddaughtertold me she loved the stamps but that the stamp pad (both sides) were dry and had no ink for her stamps! I felt so sadto see my granddaughter so disappointed because this was the bigger, nicer stamp set (I ordered two). I have an aircaston my right leg but now am left with the task of finding ink for my granddaughter. On the brighter side, she loved thecollection of 700 Stickers I also bought! Hopefully "Melissa & Doug" will remedy this situation upon reading this post.I hope so since I have been unemployed so long my unemployment ran out (I reside in Hawaii).Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set | 0negative

Great... when it works
EXTENSIVE bobbin problems, thread tension problems, etc. I've had this sewing machine for years and have never been able to do much with it because of all the problems I've had. They tell you to go get it serviced, but that costs just as much as getting a new crappy sewing machine.When it actually works, it's simple and easy, but multiple pieces randomly stop working all the time and if you are not very experienced with sewing machines you will never know how to fix it- the manual doesn't help at all.I plan to buy a new sewing machine soon; I'll be dumping this one on craigslist. | 0negative

MAKING HOT GLUE .45 BULLETS
Saw a video on YouTube about making Wax Bullets and it seriously peaked my interest.After some research on Hot Wax Applicators I found this one. The reviews were quitecomplimentary so I decided to give it a shot. Not one to start out with a cheap productat a lesser price I decided to get this one. It was cheaper on the original site I found iton but with my Amazon Prime, two day delivery and free shipping, naturally, I opted forthe unit from Amazon and basically it came out about the same. I'm loyal to Amazon though.Getting back to the unit. So far I've loaded four hundred Hot Glue Bullets and it worksflawlessly. Fits perfectly inhand, has two attachable wire stand units which were welldesigned and keep the tip off the base surface. It heats up very fast and overall is anextremely well made product and I highly recommend it.One side item: it works great for hanging photos on the wall too and will not harm thewooden surface. Not sure if it will come off easily on drywall. No drywall in my house buton wood surfaces it's great. This is my first experience with a glue gun but I'm sure I'llfind countless uses for it now. | 1positive

Tons of Fun
This little machine is just perfect for someone who's just getting started in sewing (like me.) It's capable of anything I might like to do and has a great instruction manual to show me how to do it. =) | 1positive

Poor images
This loupe is pretty useless, as only the center is not blurred, and even then the definition is not very good. More like a toy than a tool. | 0negative

Hoggyboy's review nails it.
I am a big fan of Midwest's wood products--the ones sold individually on the rack at the hobby store. Those pieces are always pre-sanded/finished and look/feel great. This bag is full of nothing but rough un-sanded pieces (literally splinters coming off of them at all angles; that bad) which are good for only a few applications where scrap wood is needed. I create enough scrap with normal wood usage so I don't need a bag of scrap. I thought this would be a sampler bag of different wood sizes/shapes and while it is that, they are not of the same quality as Midwest's normal line of wood found at the local hobby shop. I can therefore not recommend this product to anyone looking for anything other than scrap wood pieces. | 0negative

The magnifier,lamp, and arm all work great, problem is: the mount that attaches to the bench is made from a weak-thin plastic and about the second time you adjust the height of the arm it breaks the bottom of the mount, then you have a useless piece of equipment. | 0negative

Professional Grade Dye
I am a leatherworker by trade and after experimenting with a number of different brands I can say with confidence that Fiebings is my go-to when I need rich colors and deep, long lasting application. I have been using this product in a variety of colors and depending on application it will create a variety of designs, from a professional, solid color to a more faded use for an artistic look or if you want an organic, weathered effect. I like to experiment with other brands but if I ever intend to sell my products this is the dye I use on them. | 1positive

Don't buy - crap
bought it wanting to frame few canvases I bought on ebay.they are very low quality, they cut in wrong angles, they do not fit one each other.I am sorry I did not got the michael's ones which were much better quality.they are not cut at 45 degrees, each one is in a different way. | 0negative

Not A Good Machine
The presser foot keeps falling off, the thread breaks constantly and it is very noisy. I have checked the settings and everything appears to be correct, but I still am having problems. The machine that I thought would bring enjoyable is totally frustrating. | 0negative

Simple and Great Basic Glue Gun
Despite what many of the negative reviews here say... the no-drip tip works just fine! It drips a tiny bit, just one glob the size of a BB. That's fine by me, and if you're patient you can usually get that tiny drip onto what you're working on, anyway. It heats up very quickly (a minute or two), and the light is useful (though it is odd that it is underneath, not on top, of the tip). All in all it's a very simple and effective product. | 1positive

Not a fan! Too bulky
From the picture, this looked much more of a finer yarn than it is. It turned out bulky and unuseable and was not soft at all. Disappointed. | 0negative

Quickly dulled!
I too bought these scissors for cutting a rag quilt. They worked Terrific for the first quilt. By the time I started my second quilt, they were not cutting through every time. Currently, they only bend the fabric and do not cut all the way through most of the time. (I do want to mention that I have never dropped them and they have never been damaged.) I actually don't think that the blade is dull, it appears to be very sharp but for some reason the two blades do not seem to be coming together enough to make a clean cut. It's very frustrating. For the money, I did not expect them to be "one use scissors"!Why would they work perfectly for the first quilt and then just stop working?I even had them professionally sharpened and the screw tightened. It did absolutely Nothing.I will mention that the cutting I do is on denim and not on flannel. Maybe they just couldn't take the toughness of the denim. However, we're only talking about everyday denim from jeans, not super strong industial strength denim!I've looked for a company contact on the internet and have not been able to find one. I would have paid to ship them back to the manufacturer for a repair or sharpening but was not able to find any information.I am Very disappointed in these scissors. | 0negative

Marginal product
I ordered the case to protect my wife's new machine but was disappointed in the quality and design. Inside the top of the box where the handle mounts, the metal strap was rusted. My concern was a few years from now carrying the machine by the handle of this case and having the handle fall off destroying the sewing machine when it hits the floor. If this manufacturer uses cheap metal that rusts, they may also use cheap plastic which becomes brittle. This caused me to evaluate the fasteners on the side. I would have preferred to see rivets here securely connecting the side latches fully through the case. We don't want a latch to fail causing the machine to fall out the bottom of the case. This storage box may be cost affective for the manufacture to assemble but do you want to spend your hard earned money on a nice sewing machine only to see it destroyed after falling out of this storage box? I may be critical on the quality of this box but I'm also an automotive engineer. | 0negative
