I recently started a project that required an upholstery needle (12") to attach a button for that 'tufted' pillow look. Let's just say, it didn't go well. These needles are tragically dull and unable to pass through muslin or quilting cotton (which is an impressive failure). With quite a bit of force, and bending the needle in the process, I finally got the needle through, but it just wasn't up to the job in the long run.Maybe I just don't understand upholstery needles, but I was disappointed with these. I don't think I'll be going to these for further upholstery projects.Needless to say, I love every other Dritz product I own. | 0negative

I bought this skein of yarn to complete a project I had previously started and was unable to buy this yarn at a local store as they were no longer carrying Shadows. | 1positive

After half an hour of shaving a kids pair of sweat pants, you can barely tell the difference! This shaver is terrible! Don't buy it, you'll be sorry! Also, the vendor selling this doesn't have a very good return policy. | 0negative

This little knife fits on my key chain. It is just right for opening a small package with a tape seal or opening a small box with the same. It's very sharp. You could shave with it. So far it has stayed sharp even after slicing open plastic bags and other small cutting jobs. For the price, it's a handy little knife to have on hand. | 1positive

I would give this item a zero-stars. I've kept it packaged all this while (having purchased it in Nov 2011 with the black friday deals) and only now got into a stable housing situation. So I went to unpack it this morning and found the actual wall-plug is missing! The power cord! Am trying to figure out how to get one for it. Very frustrating to pay $154 for this item and not being able to use it. | 0negative

I got this reading that it was dull but figured I could just sharpen on the hone/whetstone I use for my straight razor. After spending a long time doing this it still would not work and I just ruined a 40 dollar piece of acrylic... Save the money and get some scrap metal from a dumpster. | 0negative

These signs are very flimsy. The signs pop off with even the slightest breeze. Also, they topple over because there is no weight in the bottom. They actually caused a great deal of aggravation! | 0negative

This is exactly what I needed; a huge roll of white paper. I use it for white backdrops, mostly for Ebay items. I suppose you could use it for wrapping gifts, thrilling your children with a MASSIVE sheet of coloring paper -- the sky's the limit!If I were to improve upon this item, I might ask for a cardboard core, so that it could easily be slipped onto the horizontal bar of my photo backdrop frame, but the lack of this feature is not hurting me. I simply reverse wound the entire roll (took about 10 minutes) onto the backdrop bar and away we go! | 1positive

Its the worst product out there. I disagree with the other reviewersThe assembled product falls apart at the slightest weight -- we used it in our kids room to put their toys (they are not young, so there is no pulling) and the toys are not heavy -- The design is just terrible in my view. the whole thing collapses like a stack of cards.Dont buy. you will be frustrated with the number of times you have to reassemble this | 0negative

I bought this machine based on the good review written here. It is not worth the money. It is VERY picky about thread. The bobbin jams CONSTANTLY. I have broken every needle that came with it. I am an experienced sewer and was only sewing two cotton-blends together. The bobbin-case was scratched and was causing the jamming (according to the manual) so I bought two new ones at $35 each. With literally the first gingerly stitch with a new case, it snapped the neede in two. Today, after using up every needle I had, I still am nowhere near the end of my simple and lightweight project because the bobbin keeps jamming, for NO REASON. It was a total waste of money and I am really angry that I fell for it. I have another Brother machine with the same problem, different model. THEY ALL HAVE DEFECTIVE BOBBIN CASES!!!! KEEP AWAY!!!! | 0negative

I was so excited and I thought it was a middle price..it appeared to get ok reviews for over 30.00 you think it would at least get the job done. It looked like it was splitting in half..the black part the lense falls off/not attached. Don't know what to order next that is affordable. | 0negative

Just what I needed. I wanted to try them in my glue gun, for my desired work, before buying a huge box. Now, I've bought the big box of the same brand. Great stuff! | 1positive

It does what it's supposed to do quite well, That makes it a quite good value for the money, I rated as a like rather than a love because I haven't used it that much. I'm sure I like it, not sure whether I love it. | 1positive

The frame comes with no lateral cross bracing, so it can lean heavily side-to-side. In fact, it will lean so much that the drawers will fall off of one of the side rails and then they all become tilted and jammed. It also makes it very difficult to roll around. A simple fix is to cut a piece of thin (1/8 inch to 1/4 is fine) plywood or similar material to fit the back of the frame. Drill holes through the wood and 4 of the back flanges that stop the shelves from going out the back. Attach the wood to the flanges with 4 nuts and bolts. Make sure to straighten the frame BEFORE drilling the holes! Once the four corners are attached, it will give the frame the rigidity it so desperately needs. Without it, I would not recommend buying this unit. | 1positive

This is not a very good sewing box. The spools of thread constantly fall out if the thin paper separator is not placed over the spools. I don't think the flimsy paper separator is going to last very long, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do at that point to keep the spools in place. I should have returned this item immediately after receiving it. Because I'm a procrastinator, I'm stuck with this piece of cr@%! I feel I paid $22 too much for this cheesey sewing box. Do not waste your money on this. | 0negative

Don't let the price fool you. If you need to check marking on jewelry or other things that are small, this will serve the purpose. For people on Ebay this is perfect. | 1positive

I assumed that all glue sticks were exactly the same.I assumed wrong. This stuff crumbles instead of stretching into thin little strings, and it has the peel strength of a jaundiced new born. Terrible stuff. Get something else. | 0negative

The pattern is not an easy one, but the kit contains very detailed instructions useful for begginers, the threads are perfectly organized and the key color schemes are easy for the eyes to read. It's not a big one, but very beautiful. I would recommend it both for beginners and experts. | 1positive

I've been working in a museum setting, preparing art for exhibitions, for nearly 25 years. I use a utility knife and a straight edge for hours every day. I recently purchased this tool because I had a project which required a lot of paper trimming. This tool is GREAT! It cuts through paper like a hot knife through butter...but, the big surprise is how it also cuts with ease through much heavier materials, too. I'm using it to cut archival corrugated board with great success. I've been using this cutter for several days, now, and the blade is still as sharp as when I opened the package. I can't tell you how long, or how many cuts it will last through, but I have confidence that it's going to be well worth the cost of admission! I am using it on a self-healing mat surface, which I am also very pleased with. Get yourself one of these cutters, an Alvin Self-Healing Cutting Mat, and a straight edge, and you will be in cut and paste heaven! | 1positive

My rotary cutter has not seen a lot of use yet, but seems to work quite well. I am ready to do a lot of sewing so it will be very useful in the coming weeks. | 1positive

Maybe the seller should actually go to sell a piece or gold or two after testing, they perform an entirely different test. They scratch the piece and place the acid directly onto the piece if it bubbles then it is electroplate, if it rolls off then it is Gold as marked, really how can you just scratch the surface of anything and tell if it is actually pure or not, especially onto a black stone and be expected to tell what color its changing. What a waste of time and money not to mention the amount that was charged to ship, more expensive than the kit itself. Don't buy this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 0negative

I bought this in hopes of inscribing my son's name on his plastic spoons for day care (because EVERYTHING has to have their name on it). Was very disappointed in the result. | 0negative

I was disappointed. The gas regulator valve didn't work right. Video and instructions provided no info on how to avoid glass becoming discoloured or shifting color. No info on cleaning beads after they are made. No bead reamer. Although kit promoted as complete, both video and instructions suggested getting more books or taking classes. | 0negative

After several years of trying countless different linseed oils, I finally found this oil to give your paint a nice, even 'flow' while not thinning them to a watery, too loose consistency. Whether I mixed this with another medium or solvent, the oil maintains its quality and has given good results in my painting. I have always found it difficult to strike just the right products to help me achieve the painting effects I wish, but this brand of oil has solved that problem. The low price just adds to it's superiority, making it a definite worth to try. | 1positive

I have a pair of Mundial Serra Sharp shears I've used for over 20 years, for relatively heavy duty use, mostly leatherworking. Nothing else comes close to these shears. The serrations on the lower blade (sometimes called the "anvil") keep the work in place, preventing it from squirming out of the way. The knifeedge upper blade cuts incredibly well. I can easily -- yes, easily -- cut through layers of heavy tooling leather stacked over 1 cm thick -- and then trim an edge almost hair-thin the next moment. I have demonstrated this over and over for friends, who are always impressed.You'll be impressed, too. I have no hesitation naming these the best scissors I've ever owned or used. Period. | 1positive

Brother 5300 Universal Sewing Machine Carrying CaseThis case is fine but the sewing machine (Brother XL 2610) does not fit securely into it. It requires that I save the styrofoam that the machine was packaged in when it came. I wanted a cover that fit over the machine easily for storage for short term. This case isn't it. | 0negative

My sewing is limited to hems, and items for my house, including pillow shams and duvet covers. Although I don't sew often, my standards are high. I use good quality materials, and want my seams to the straight and even. I expect a sewing machine to be heavy-duty enough to sew through two layers of upholstery fabric, plus trim or cording, including where the trim overlaps for tidy joinder. I found the Singer 6038 was not up to these, and other tasks. Specifically, the automatic needle threader did not work after I changed the needle the second time, it was not sturdy enough to sew through overlapping trim or cording, even when I tried to urge it along manually, and I was never able to get the one-step buttonhole feature to work, despite repeated attempts. The machine has a cheap appearance, being made out of plastic, and I am wondering if Singer makes a model with all of the new features, but also with their former sturdy construction.I did like the convenient storage in the base of the machine, the push-button reverse, and the ease of changing needle position, stitch, and pressure foot. However, overall, I have not been satisfied with this machine, and, after working with it for two years, have given it to my mother. I am now seeking to buy a model that will sew through more than two layers, and has a buttonhole feature that works. I recommend spending a little more for a better quality machine. | 0negative

the sweeper does nothing it says it won't even clean up kitty litter, it loses what it dose pick up when going from floor to carpet and it stops completely on some carpet. the dirt holder is hard to get dirt to come out you have to keep shakeing it I have wasted my money will cost too much to send back. | 0negative

This is a great product, but I still like one of their other models better, however the screw for it went bad and I can no longer install a new blade! So sad!!!!!This one will be fine to use. At least I can, for now, install new blades. If it goes bad, then I'll no longer purchase this brand of rotary cutters. | 1positive

Yes it's punches 7 holes. Five or less pages at a time. Since we need the funtionality I won't return it, but I'm displeased with the effort it takes to punch, the effort it took to set up the seven spots (all the punches came from the factory/story all bunched up on one end), and mostly displeased with how you can only punch about five pages at a time. | 0negative

We ordered a pack, and several of the glue sticks are molded. I have never seen glue that grows mold!Not to mention, this glue is very tacky - literally and it sticks to your fingers. I have to find a different brand that works better. Disappointed. | 0negative

When I was shopping for sewing machines, I strongly considered this at first then I went ahead & bought it because I was sold on the fact that it cost $160 plus it came with all sorts of accessories as well as the protective carrying case.I'm sad to report that I've only used this machine for 5 hours & I sent it packing! I may be a beginner but I referred to the user's manual (read & re-read many times) and followed it to the T in addition to going to YouTube to find any tutorial for the same make & model of this item just to make sure that I feed the Bobbin as well as the upper thread correctly. In the beginning, I used a thinner cheese cloth type material & the machine almost ate it a few times. Here's the performance pattern: I would feed the cloth & then it would sew for 3 inches then I'd take it out. When I'd feed it again, it would go a little bit longer...about 5 inches or so. Then once I'd feed it again, it would get stuck & a lot of thread would gather at the back which tells me it'a bobbin issue. I've used the manual bobbin feeder initially so I decided to try the automatic bobbin feeder & see how it turns out. Much to my chagrin, it happened again- my material would get stuck after the 3rd run.So then, I figured I'd give another benefit of the doubt by using a flannel material since I needed to mend my flannel pajamas. This time, it just got stuck in one place & the machine pulled a chunk of material! Luckily, I was able to untangle the whole mess & there was a bunch of thread that gathered in the area! This machine may come with a lot of accessories but what good is it if you can't even use it?Nonetheless, I returned it and with Amazon's great with customer service they issued the full refund for the item. In summary, spend a little more & get the Janome instead which is exactly what I did because this machine is not worth all the hassle & aggravation! | 0negative

I bought these to make my own stretched canvases and to stretch some paintings I'd already done. When I got these, the first thing I noticed is they ranged greatly in color, dark wood to light wood. Although it's not really that important as only a very little bit of the frame shows through the back, and none at all once hanged. The only other thing I'd have liked is if they were cut a little more cleanly. The ends aren't as smooth as the picture and if you're not careful, they could easily give you a splinter.Other than that these are very nice. Once put together they seem sturdy and they're light enough to make hanging them not a problem. They make a great deal too. | 1positive

Nice DVD, full size bottles of paint.. Some good patterns.. Only one "landscape" type example, beach scene.. Not bad.. But would like to see more landscapes.. This has several other flower patterns we didn't already have, a nice orchid and brearded iris... | 1positive

This glue gun is a great idea with poor execution. The refill glue sticks don't feed in well and the trigger doesn't advance them well. Maybe get better version. | 0negative

I was very, very disappointed with this order. The wax came to me , not in a regular box just the wax in a brown packing box, I have no ideal if this is the wax that I ordered and paid for. I would never send someone a order like this. I do not recommend this seller to anyone. Very un- professional to say the least. I would never order from this seller again. I threw the wax in the garbage , no way could I use this not knowing what on earth it is and who made it. | 0negative

I recently started using this machine, and I love it. As much as I don't like pink, I wanted the combination of features on this machine. I've been trying out the different stitch functions, stitch widths, etc. with different fabrics, and haven't had any real problems. I just sewed 2 layers of thick fleece together, and it looks great! I've already completed some projects, which turned out quite nicely (I'm quite a sewing novice, so this is very exciting). The only issues I've had have been quite minor. The machine has a lever for reverse-stitching, but I think a button would have been better. In order to avoid "bunching" when you back tack, you need to push the lever ALL the way in and hold it there. Also, I occasionally get some bunching at the first stitch when I start sewing. Of course, that could be user-error, as I don't have a ton of experience. Overall, I'm very happy that I went with this machine - especially for the price. Oh, and the pink color isn't all that bad...it's actually kind of cute! :) | 1positive

Nice pattern. Punching is no fun, in fact if I had not (a few times) seen completed ones, I would think it's impossible. I think it must take a Lot of practice. I used the pattern & thread for a needlepoint instead, that came out nicely. The big problem is that punching looks & is described as "easy," when it's anything but. | 0negative

Does a fine job. Durable and properly sized. The micro serrations leave no tails. My wife uses them for fabric as well | 1positive

I had these, and donated them to the thrift store, because the red locking tab kept falling into the closed position, which blocked the scissors from closing all the way and cutting properly.Great concept, very poor execution.Not recommended. | 0negative

Unfortunately, this is not forest green. It's a dusty, washed out, unimpressive teal. I had to get rit dye remover to "undo" the damage. Normally Jacaquard colors are pretty accurate and rich. This was awful. | 0negative

Doesn't keep time well, in fact we must reset ours once per week. No online support available. | 0negative

I wasn't sure what these scissors would be able to cut by the picture, but now that I have the scissors, they can cut almost any paper. Some construction paper that is really thin is hard to cut with these scissors. The scissors do not require too much strength to use and the spring back smoothly. Perfect for children experimenting with scissors for the first time. | 1positive

The link remover is made of plastic. However the push pin itself is made of metal. The wrench remover is made of metal. However, it was very very difficult to adjust the prong width on the tool. I would not buy and would not recommend anyone else to buy. | 0negative

You may get better results than I did, if you already know how to gild. Mine came out terrible. I tried following the directions, and I also tried without using the red basecoat (my surface was already sealed). I got the same results both ways. One thing that would have been helpful, and which I had to look up online elsewhere, is if the instructions stated that you're not supposed to try to burnish off the extra leaf until you let the size dry overnight. If you're using this for something like lettering, it will smear. | 0negative
|
I should give this no stars, but mine didn't have as many problems as other people have said they have had. It can't take much, it doesn't do the job well, and the bobbins that they give you can't be re-wound with a different thread once you have used up what they gave you! I'm with the others: take your needle, batteries, and bobbin and throw the rest away! You will spend more time undoing the poor job of this machine than if you were to try to do the project by hand! | 0negative

This pen set was a complete waste of my money. I tried everything, but could never get ink to come out! This was not my first set...I know how to use this type of pen; it just would not write at all. Ended up throwing it away in angry frustration. Seemed too much of a hassle to return it. I would give zero stars if that was an option! | 0negative

Insect repellant accidentally made a large area of spots on my high end espresso colored Bernhardt leather chair. I bought an expensive water based "espresso" dye over the net only to find it was several shades lighter. Then bought this dye in black and though it is alcohol based I mixed the two and tested the color on a swath the chair had beneath the seat. Finally I applied it to the chair with a fine sponge in several light layers a few hours apart. No pre cleaning the leather a?nd no conditioning or sealants since the spotting was on the side and not in a high use area. Literally came out perfect, you can't tell where it was done even if you know where it was done and inspect it. Very happy. | 1positive

I was excited about this item but it clogs easily and is not as well made as I would have liked. The line quality is nice but a regular fountain pen would have provided more control and they do not clog up as easily. | 0negative

I got this carry case per Amazon's recommendation to go with the Singer 6038 machine. While it's functional, it's very basic and doesn't allow the machine to be integrated into it like the case I have for my old White - you have to remove the machine from this case to use it. Also, the pedal for the machine I bought has to be shoved between the arm and the needle in order to get the case closed, which worries me. The fit is poor - it's a slightly protective dust cover and carrying case and not much else.Now that I think about it, it's not even that comfortable to carry (and down it goes from 3 to 2 stars) - it was a poor engineer who decided to make the underside of the handle (you know, where all the weight presses on your fingers) a bunch of thin ribs of plastic. So instead of hanging on to a nice solid surface, you're gripping this things that's trying to bluntly slice your fingers into 1/8 inch strips. Sure, it's strong, but it's exceedingly uncomfortable to carry any distance. I'll have to wrap mine with some padded vinyl or somesuch.In short, it does the job, but not especially well. | 0negative

I had a very expensive cashmere sweater that I wanted to change the color, I'll admit I was a little sceptical at first. I had never dyed anything with an acid dye before. It's quit a different process than regular dying,but I read the directions carefully and forged ahead It turned out amazing I now have a brand new sweater. | 1positive

This pen has a flow problem. It will write for maybe half a page, and then no amount of shaking and pleading will make the ink come out. The barrel cut-out to see the ink cartridge is pretty cool, however I agree with the other commenters that the cut-out edges are needlessly sharp. I would not buy this pen again. | 0negative

After a month of trying to use these for poultry I tossed them. The first time I used them the nut holding the blades together loosened. If you know scissors, once this starts you might as well forget it. After one cut I would have to try to tighten the thing, usually with hands greasy from handling the bird. Oxo grip products are hit and miss. Some I like, but others are just turkeys. | 0negative

The product is extremely thick, unable to do anything with it. Tried to send it back but postage is as much as the cost of the product. Emailed and tried calling the company and so far no one has responded. I'll just have to throw it away and be out the money I paid. | 0negative

This is by far the worst book case or storage system I have ever assembled. We are expecting our 2nd child in a month so we have purchased several different storage items in the last month. Every other one went together with ease. The instructions are vague and after 3 hours the shelves are actually crooked and I'm not even finished.Stay away unless you want to spend 4 hours putting together a poorly made bookshelf. | 0negative

Be careful with these, because the ink will NOT stay on! It smears very easily, and is definitely NOT waterproof! It washes off right away. I even tried coating it with water-resistant spray, and it still didn't work. Such a disappointment. | 0negative

When item arrived it reminded me of the ones I had in the 70s. The size, the color and weight seems to be the same. There are 2 things that I didn`t like. I believe other reviews have mentioned this before, but I feel they need to be repeated. Number 1- the rounded buckles make fastening the band really difficult. A square buckle would be much better. Number 2- the straps are really thin and flimsy. I think one or more will break soon. Over all I like the band and will wear it until something breaks. | 1positive

I bought these for different two reasons: 1) to meet my legitimate magnet needs, and 2) as a toy. I think these fail at #1, but are great for #2. For actual magnet needs, these are just too powerful for most applications. It's very difficult to separate the magnets from one another, they connect with their attractions VERY forcefully, and they're very brittle, breaking quite easily. For example, I experimented with one as a fridge magnet, and it made contact with the fridge so hard that it actually scratched the paint on the door and chipped the corner of the magnet--and I was being careful not to let it slam into the fridge! These did do a good job at magnetizing screwdrivers, but again, it didn't take long for them to start chipping away and breaking.As toys, however, these are great fun! I must emphasize, though, that these are **dangerous** and **NOT FOR YOUNG KIDS**, seriously, these can cause some severe pain. Even when I was trying to be careful, I hurt myself many times with these magnets. If two of these are attracted to each other and you're in their way, they can deliver a pinch you won't soon forget, often involving bruising and swelling!So have fun with these, prepare to get hurt a few times, and keep them out of little hands. Overall, if you're looking for magnets as a tool or utility device, these probably aren't best for you. If you're a teenager or college kid looking for some silly fun, these can provide some cheap entertainment. | 0negative

It is rare that I write a review. I do read and appreciate other reviews though. That is why I felt it is important to leave one about this paper.In terms of quality - it does do nice print outs. In terms of printing with it - it is a nightmare!I am using an Epson R1900. It is almost impossible to feed this paper in the manual paper feeder in a way, that is accepted by the printer. I would say at least 9 out of 10 times, does this paper not feed into the paper feeder correctly. Anybody who has to work efficiently and whose time is valuable cannot afford to buy an expensive paper and then spend hours trying to get a few prints done.I would never, ever buy this paper again. I am really angry to have spend my money on an epson paper to use with my epson printer and then not be able to easily print.If you own an R1900 do not buy this paper! | 0negative

I highly recommend this punch. Punches clean holes every time. Just what I was looking for. | 1positive

I am new to embroidery but this little progam is great for a beginner and advance. I just wish the blank memory cards were cheaper. | 1positive

Wow--this is well over $2 a skein than from the actual manufacturer. Other sellers from other sites have it priced at about $3.50-$4.00. This is disappointing because I do trust shopping online here. Since I can't find this yarn in the stores here anymore, and need a good 8 more skeins to finish this large afghan, I will take a chance and order at the half-price point somewhere else and hope the other site is legit. | 0negative

I cannot imagine NOT having this for the projector. It is very interesting to set up, but once you get the point (make sure the table has about a 1 inch ledge you can attach to or it will not work!) you can adjust it down and use quite well. I use this for a therapy practice I have. Kids love it and so do adults. Now with this said, just bare in mind that you do have to turn off lights to use your projector, but this stand allows you to use a table surface and sit and draw. You do have to be careful to not move things, so lines stay in place. I have had this item for about a yr or so and have not had any problems what so ever!! It was worth every penny! Like I said, why would you not have it? It does require a different lense, so be sure to get that, others mentioned this in their review. I also have one set up for projecting on the wall, and so far to be honest have not used it, it has been rolled on it's stand to the closet in our office. I will eventually end up getting another table/desk with the inch ledge and set that projector up as I have this one.I cannot undestand why this is described as a "Toy", in fact it is great for professional paint artists who would rather sit than stand, and great for persons with disabilities, and for private practice therapy activities.Great item!! | 1positive

I purchased this product because I needed a seven hole punch, and the description claims "With its seven punch head capacity, the hole punch is completely adjustable for diverse punching needs...". However, you can NOT place the 7 hole punches at any setting you want because there are "parking spots" where you can place the punch if you don't want to use it so when you press down on the handle that punch in the "parking spot" does not push down. So you can NOT set this up to punch in any place that you want. Some of those "parking spots" are exactly where I needed it to punch. | 0negative

I ordered this product for a school project, it was supposed to be a one-inch square. What I received was an irregular measurement of 11/16 of an inch. The punch itself works well but the project was made exponentially more difficult due to this error in description. I would be wary of purchasing from this seller again. | 0negative

I purchased these blades thinking they would be similar quality to other brands. I liked that they were made in USA. But the quality was terrible. Many of them didn't even have points on the blades, and the ones that did dulled or broke almost immediately. I'm a paper cut artist, so I spend a great deal of time working with these blades. I ended up returning these and sticking to excel. | 0negative

This is NOT a 7-hole punch and cannot be used to punch the correct holes for a 7-hole datebook. Do not purchase this unless you want a basic 3-hole punch. | 0negative

Well, I'm sorry to join the few people who didn't love this machine, I really wanted to enjoy it. Mine didn't work properly out of the box and after a full half day of tinkering it is going back. I should mention I am ordering a replacement to give it another try, we'll see what happens.The problem:-My machine WOULD NOT produce a decent-looking stitch no matter what I did right out of the gate. I wound and re-wound the bobbin, threaded and re-threaded, replaced the needle and thread (although I used good quality Gutterman both times), adjusted the top tension up and down. I tried more than half a dozen stitches and none of them looked good. I am not a total novice but I did ask my friend with many many years sewing experience to help figure out what the issue was. We agreed it had to do with bobbin tension but since it's not adjustable, there is nothing to do...-I didn't find the light to be "super bright" as description states but rather adequate. The self-threader while simple is not awesome and worked maybe half the time.-Despite all the features, it does feel cheap. If you are really serious about sewing and plan to do either a lot of it or do heavy-duty projects, I would steer clear of this one.Good parts:-My best friend has this very same one and hers works beautifully and produces nice, professional-looking seams.-For the money the features are impressive (if they work).-Machine is light and the learning curve is not steep at all. | 0negative

This lathe works so well, I wish I had bought it sooner. The benefits are great and the ease of painting the work once it's loaded is wonderful. | 1positive

Maybe it's because of the brand of album I was using, but these Pioneer inserts did not fit. Once I inserted them into the album (following the company's own instructions), a 12 x 12 sheet of paper would not fit in the sleeve without being bent. They do not have the extra half-inch between the sleeve and the holes, and this is necessary (otherwise part of the sleeve is covered by the binding of the album, and everything in the album gets bent when you flip through it). Although the packaging said it could be used with a post-style album, it's clear these are made only for 3-ring binders and nothing else.It's a difficult issue to explain, so I hope this makes sense. I was told at Michael's that they would fit "any 12 x 12 album," and this is simply not true. I also found the plastic to be very flimsy. | 0negative
