I write with Noodler's Black (the brand's "standard" black ink) almost every day because I can't always choose the paper to write on. Noodler's Black can be used for two-sided writing on bad paper, even newsprint, which is rare among all the fountain pen inks in the world.I also write with Noodler's Black because it's waterproof, forgery-proof, good-looking, and pleasantly smooth during writing. I confidently write checks with Noodler's Black, and it is safe for signing valuable or important documents too (when black is an acceptable color; ask your lawyer).Please keep in mind that the Noodler's company carefully says which of the brand's colors are waterproof and which are not. In my experience Noodler's Black is by far the best Noodler's color for writing on both sides of bad paper.One behavior you might notice, if your pen's nib is an exposed metal surface (not covered with colored enamel), is that Noodler's (standard) Black spreads itself over exposed metal surfaces. This "nib creep" is harmless behavior because the ink doesn't run down onto the grip area. Wiping the ink off the nib is only temporary; more ink will soon spread to replace what you wiped off. Again, this is harmless behavior and a very small price to pay for the security of your marks, signatures and important handwritten texts. | 1positive

I needed a 7 hole punch which is how this is advertized. I didn't find any place telling me it only came with 3 punches and you have to buy additional punched at about $11.00 each. The hole spacing is on 3/4" centers except for in the middle where the spacing is on 1 1/2" centers. Doesn't punch clean on one of the holes consistantly. | 0negative

This is one of a series of books for home sewing enthusists put out by the Singer Sewing machine company in the 1980's. I picked up a dozen of them at a library sale and I'm always looking for more. They were part of a subscription series. They are well illustrated with clean clear pictures and straightforward instructions. Whether one is an experienced sewer or an amateur just getting started, each one of these books is priceless. They include buttonholes, zippers, stitching, collars, how to read a pattern, how to set up a home sewing area, which thread to buy- just about everything anyone would need to become a competent home sewer. If you see one anywhere, buy it. Unfortunately, this particular one- "Sewing for Children", I already own. Always looking for more. | 1positive

I need to let people know a few things about this item that are not in the description.(1) It does not have "big lenses." The lenses are not quite 7/8" in diameter.(2) The lenses are apparently plastic or acrylic.(3) Each lens has the same magnification (perhaps 5X).(4) Method for use. To get 10X magnification, you put two lenses together and look through both simultaneously. Since diopters are additive, you get twice the magnification. To get 15X, you look through all three lenses. But, putting these three lenses in series makes for a very cloudy image, even after carefully cleaning them.These points should have been stated. When I bought it, I thought each lens had a different magnification (5, 10, and 15). Glass would have been clear. | 0negative

I definitely would not waste my time and money buying this variety of needle threaders. I have used these and they do work great, but they are SO easy to lose and bend. For just a few dollars more you can get a very sturdy Clover needle threader that works like a champ every time and includes a thread cutter!Here is a great overview and tutorial on how the Clover needle threader works. | 0negative

I love these pencils. Basically, they're soft pastels in a pencil form, if you are familiar with those. I am very impressed with the intensity of the colors and the ease of blending. I use pretty standard paper blending stubs with them and the effect is spectacular. I highly recommend these pencils and they see a great deal of use from me. | 1positive

They work well on the track and attract attention- they look very cool. Luckily, the size they had fit me, but a greater selection of sizes would be nice. | 1positive

Badger makes very good air brushes. I thought this mixer would be worthy of their name. It isn't. This mixer is, to put it bluntly, junk. The battery cover is extremely difficult to remove and doubly so to install. When the mixer runs it vibrates so badly the cover pops out of position and falls off. It is also uncomfortable to hold when it's vibrating. The two halves fit together poorly being held together midway by 2 screws. Both ends of the body develop gaps which is why the battery cover pops off. The motor also works loose because of the poor fit and vibrates even more terribly as a result. The on/off mechanism is a 2 position slide switch which is awkward to turn off when mixing in deeper paint containers because you have to pull the mixer out enough to get your thumb on it. While you are doing this the paint covered shaft will fling paint everywhere until you can switch it off. The poor fitment also makes switch operation intermittent both turning it on and off and causing the mixer to stop running during use. The mixer shaft also suddenly runs off center as if it's bent and then will straighten back out again. When in bent mode the mix head runs in an eccentric circle during use. It has caused cracks in a couple of heavy glass air brush paint containers because it beats the sides so badly. I have tried gluing the motor in place, adding packing, and epoxying the two halves together but it made this mixer only marginally better than no mixer at all. Honestly, I don't even use it any longer. I have another mixer made by Testors, I think, that I have had for probably 10 years. It was and is so much better than this Badger model there is no comparison. The main advantage it the switch is a press and hold button. As soon as you take your finger off, it turns the mixer off. The handle fits together like a precision tool. It's longer and more comfortable to hold. Vibration is almost non existent and it's very good with batteries lasting a long time. I'm looking for another one like it. I suggest you do the same. Don't waste your money on this inferior product. | 0negative

I purchased this because I thought it would be sharp and durable. I was cutting the stems of roses, one at a time, when the two parts of the scissors fell apart. I would have thought the blade and pivot points, that obviously get the most wear and tear, would be titanium. Nope, the pivot point has a plastic nut which gave way. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link which, in this case, is plastic. The manufacturers should not claim this item to be titanium if one of its major wear and torque points is plastic. I was pleased with the sharpness of the blade portion but gave it a 1 star as I did not like being mislead into believing this was a titanium scissor. | 0negative

Very well made, you cant see any welds at all and all bends are very good. I would purchase them again. | 1positive

This is one of the best inks I've used yet (I just started writing with fountain pens about a month ago). It does not feather or bleed through a page and it seems to make my pen (a Parker Sonnet) write a bit smoother than other inks.I haven't tested the "bullet proof"-ness of the ink, but it is very quick drying and I have not had a problem with accidental smears from running my hand over freshly written words.I'll probably be buying other colors of Noodler's ink, since this one is top-notch. Try this ink out! You will not be disappointed! | 1positive

Fiance was gonna use this for her shirt after our wedding. After the transfer, quite a few of the stones didn't stay and had to be glued on with fabric glue. She got a little glue on the shirt, tried to scratch it off, and made a small hole in the shirt. The shirt ended up in the trash. Wasn't a good day for the already stressed soon to be bride. Anyway, be prepared to glue some of the stones on if you buy this. At least it was relatively cheap... | 0negative

Bought this set because my previous set of 24 markers was completely lacking in the shading department. These hold up to the quality I expect from prismacolor and blend fantastically well with other prismacolor markers. I love that these are double ended, with two different sized tips per marker. Though the blunt end was a bit large for my application, I can see where it would be useful. Definitely worth the amount I paid. | 1positive

I purchased the Retro Flower Medium Punch. The description here gave no indication of the size of the punched flower, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Happy to report that it's just about perfect.The flower is about 1" across. I also purchased the smaller version of this punch, so I can pair them side by side or layer them.No problem with punching, either. It punches smoothly and easily through premium card stock. I then use an embossing stylus to add a bit of shape to the petals, and top it off with my favorite simple snowflake punch and a tiny brad. | 1positive

The Wool-Ease Yarn I purchased was by far the easiest yarn to crochet that I have used in a long time. The yarn never seemed to split, hasn't frayed, and is still holding strong. The black dying was even throughout the yarn and crocheted into a beautiful gift. | 1positive

Im completely new to sewing and I have found this machine super easy to use. I could pretty much figure out how to use it on my own without having to spend hours reading through manuals (remember im a complete newbie to sewing so even threading it was confusing at first). I've noticed some other reviewers have had a problem with the E6 error and the thread bunching up and problems with the bobbin. I also had this problem randomly when I was sewing a dress. I wasn't using heavy fabric or doing anything wrong to my knowledge. I noticed the bobbin kept jumping up and I could only sew a few stitches before it bunched up from the lack of weight/tension on the bobbin. Finally after hours of thinking I was doing something wrong and being completely frustrated I just took apart the whole bottom part where the bobbin is. I noticed the reason why I was having this problem was from a little metal part that holds the whole bobbin area down there had slipped and no longer was holding it firmly in place. All I had to do was move it back in place and put everything back together. It was incredibly easy. Sure enough that completely fixed the problem. I have no idea how it slipped to begin with but it wasn't a difficult fix. Hopefully this helps other people who are having the same problem. I'm sure there are many different reasons why people are getting that error, but that was my problem and solution to mine. Besides that I have no other complaints or problems with this machine. I'm still learning how to sew and everything so maybe I'll find some annoyances with it when I become more experienced, but for now I really like it and how easy it is for me. I would definitely recommend this machine for people like me who want to get into sewing. | 1positive

It works great and I don't know why I never had one before. It makes cutting fabric, paper, duct tape, etc super easy! There are still some applications where scissors are preferred, but not many. | 1positive

Overall, I like the scissors. However, it seems there should be some way to cut through two thicknesses of cloth and still have the scissors work well and stay sharp. I will certainly consider carefully when purchasing another pair of pinking shears whether the extra cost of Gingher is worth the price. | 1positive

I had been looking for a fun bookcase for my 2 year old daughter Natalia's bedroom. Most are really made cheaply & not worth the money. This one is cute & has painted windows & compartments that make it fun for her. She loves it. The only thing negative is that it leans alittle on the carpet. As far as putting it together, I read the other reviews & thought I was giving my husband a problem job. As it turned out he & Natalia put it together in less than 2 hours. It also has alot of storage room. | 1positive

I took it out of the box and the hand wheel was stuck. Google "Brother 1034D hand wheel stuck" and you will see it is a common problem. I took it to the authorized service center in my area and the lady there said that this machine is a "piece of crap". She said that people bring them in regularly for some reason or another and that several times the owner just has to throw it out because nothing can be done.It will be weeks before mine is fixed or replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty, but too late to return to Amazon. Huge bummer, spend a little more money for a better machine. | 0negative

Very nice loupe. Has 30X magnification which helps finding tiny marks, letters, numbers on jewelry. Is also great for examining anything you want to see enlarged. The lenses are made of glass so they will not scratch easily. They come wth a nice plastic container to put the loupe in when not in use. They are priced very well and they appear to be constructed as to last for many years of use. They have an area on them where a necklace chain can be attached so the loupe can hang like a pendant for easy use. Just reach and use.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PCCJYI/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_img | 1positive

We purchased this for our daughter as a Christmas gift. What a nightmare. First of all, the scissors it came with...well let's just say my teeth cut better. This scissor is so DULL we'd be willing to allow our three year old to handle it. It cuts NOTHING. This sewing machine comes with one tiny square of material, so you have to be sure to have material on hand if you want your child to actually attempt sewing something. It's incredibly difficult and frustrating to thread the needle. The stitches are way too loose and break apart at the slightest touch. There is no bobbin, so there's nothing to hold your stitch together. We wanted to make a simple little pillow for my daughter's dolls...wishful thinking! The minute you attempt to turn your project right-side-out, the stitches come apart and you have NOTHING. My daughter just walked away. We can't believe Singer would be the maker of this 1.99 piece of plastic. | 0negative

I bought this primarily for the sharpening jig. It is not very made and required a good bit of modification to even perform adequately. Handles are OK, but gravers need improvement also.They could be modified to fill in some gaps in an existing set, but don't count on this set being your primary tools. | 0negative

It is a very realistic looking and durable model. It was more expensive than I would have liked to pay since it is plastic. However, I display it in my office and I have received several compliments on it. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is the price. You can buy with confidence. | 1positive

Easy to use, yes. As long as it keeps working for you. Every time i want to do something simple like take in a dress, make a baby blanket, take something up. It seems something always goes wrong.

I'm now looking into getting a Brother cant wait! summery, I think there are better ones out there. | 0negative

I ordered a Logan 350-1 matt cutter from TCP Global but received a 301-1 matt cutter. Completely different model.My paper invoice list the model 350-1 and I was charged for a Model 350-1 but was sent the model 301-1.I tried calling TCP Global on the phone but after listening to horrible music for 40 minutes I gave up.Looking at the TCP Global web site I find they are a Paint supply Vendor and their catalog doesn't even list a logan model 350-1 but does have the 301-1. I suppose they figure it is OK to substitue my request with what every they happen to have in stock.Now I'm trying to contact them via Amazon email to efect a return and will have to start over again. It makes me furious that any company would consider my needs to be so trivial that wasting my time this way is justified. Now I'm going to be 2 weeks behind in my work and have to order from another amazon (phantom) vendor. | 0negative

Being sharpies, I expected a smoother and more accurate marker than these. The tip is really hard, and in two of the five markers it had imperfections that made the trace look shabby. It was really hard to get any nice work done with them. In the end I had to go back to the calligraphy pen to make my wedding signs, because these markers were practically useless. | 0negative

I bought this item recently but a part got broken during shipping. I don't know if it was my fault or the seller's but I couldn't achieve a response to my e-mails(the seller was TCp Global Corp NOT Logan). So I contacted logan directly through their website [...] and explained the situation. They responded immediately and are sending me the part at no cost to me!As for the product itself...I wish the squaring arm was longer and had a ruler on it but that feature doesn't come on this lower level model...This feature starts to appear on the next level up: The Framer's Edge, which is more than double the price...and thus, I am content without it!Great video tutorials! Simple but a good starting point. | 1positive

I ordered these Fisker deckle edge scissors to create a handmade paper edge on my holiday watercolor paintings. They worked great. Smooth cutting and worked continuously. I had another brand of deckle edge scissors and they were too flimsy to cut a nice clean edge, especially if the paper had any sort of thickness. | 1positive

Believe the reviews when they say this product is very poorly made. I opened the box and looked at the items and decided they were way too cheap to use! The storage box is difficult to open and the boobins are apparently the 66 type which I don't need but no where on the box or description does it tell you what they are! I just ordered the distinctive bobbin case with 30 15J bobbins and 24 spools of thread set for slightly more than this storage system cost! Both with very good reviews! | 0negative

My kids made one or two pictures out of these stamps. They just aren't worth the money. The ink dried out after the first use because the babysitter didn't put the lid on tight enough. I imagine the ink wouldn't last that long anyway. I wouldn't purchase this item again. | 0negative

This is my third and last one I will buy. I bought this machine a month ago at wal-mart in the first week it would only go into reverse. So I returned it the second one the motor burned out in less then a week. Now the third one has absolutely no tension and won't even thread the bottom thread in the stitch. do your self a favor and Don't buy this machine | 0negative

Took me about a day to do it, but I'm a slow-stitcher anyways. Easy to follow directions, and comes with the threads, needle, pattern, fabric, and hoop. Great for beginners just learning how to cross-stitch, and also makes a good Christmas ornament if you have a mind to hang it on your tree. ;) | 1positive

I am very pleased with this dress form once I got it adjusted. Mine wasn't as easy as the directions made it out to be, meaning that there are about 6 or 8 dials to adjust and when I turned the dials in the order that they said in the directions, sometimes they kept "popping" back to the starting position, so don't get frustrated, they will stay if you set them in a more logical order. I haven't used the hem "measurer" yet, but it seems functional and helpful. I must say I made a dress a week before I got this and tried to set waist elastic on it and it was a train wreck, then I made another dress with the same tutorial, and on the dress form, and I was able to pin the waist elastic casing perfectly! Wow, what a difference having a dress form makes. This model was able to be set to my measurements and everything I've made so far fits me very well. It stands very sturdy, without feeling like it will topple over, and is nice and light weight to pick up and move around easily. I'm also gald to have purchased on Amazon, it was $30 cheaper than everywhere else on line, and free shipping. | 1positive

Melissa & Doug Origami Paper (6"x6")Melissa & Doug Origami Paper (6"x6")Two fine descriptions for the same product? On sale at 2 cents difference. Neither say how many sheets of paper, but one offers an 8 oz package of paper, with a shipping weight of 6.6 oz, the other a 1 pound package, with a shipping weight of 15 pounds. There is some serious shipping magic going on in both cases. One is classed as paper, the other as paint. Perhaps the Holiday rush got to the writing staff.I would like to know how many pieces of paper of what size and what weight. Seems simple, right? It is, after all, just paper.Or is it???? | 0negative

The zipper is only connected on one side of the case and there is no 'starting point' to begin the zip - both ends are sewn into the spine. The product will hold my pliers, but I'll have to use a rubberband or string to keep it closed. Not worth the price I paid. | 0negative

I ordered this although it had very mixed reviews--people loved or hated it! It is fairly sturdy after putting it together and I have no problems with the drawers falling out. I am using it for pet grooming tools, blades, and other semi heavy stuff and it is working just fine! It is very cute. I bought mine as an open box deal and only paid $25...I definitely would NOT pay $50 for a new one! It is worth about $30 in real life. | 1positive

It does not matter if you are a seasoned stamper or just starting out, there is something for everyone in this DVD. No jerky camera, strange angles and voices bouncing around an empty room. This is one class act. Not only is the DVD top notch but you can actually jump from one place to another or just let it run. There is a gallery included with dozens of pieces of artwork. If you want to know how a piece was made you can click on it and the segment showing that technique comes up. This is truly interactive. Even after watching this DVD several times you will pick up tips you missed before. This is another addition to the fine line of stamping and crafting DVD's coming out of the folks at PageSage. They are setting the bar very high for not only quality but length of time as well. An Altered Journey with Tim Holtz is over an hour and a half in length!His Brushless Watercolor segment is beautiful. Just as valuable as the more than half a dozen techniques are the tips Tim shares.Grab your stamps and enjoy the show.While you are here check out Stamp Art Inspirations with MaryJo McGraw also available on Amazon.com. Several titles are in the works and the PageSage web site will have up to date information. | 1positive

This "sewing machine" is a total waste of money. We received one as a gift for my 6 year old daughter. It never worked, not a single stitch. It is poorly made and hard to use.

This ink has impressed me in many ways.When you first hold it the glass bottle is of high quality. It feels sturdy and strong and doesn't feel like a cheap bottle. The print though does seem a little tacky on this bottle.Regarding the ink, it proves to be one of the most versatile products I have used. It does what it avertises, which is a big positive. | 1positive

These are perfect for the child who is too young for the simple plastic blade scissors and the older child who isn't quite ready for standard scissors. I bought these for our four year old, and the tips are rounded with plastic to prevent accidental injury from the tips. I would still recommend adult supervision with these, but they highly reduce frustration. He is able to cut in a way that matches his motor skill ability. Great item, fantastic price, and a trusted brand. | 1positive

We have a camel/light brown leather sectional in our living room that we spent a fortune on about ten years ago, but after two rough kids (who still have growing to do) it's faded and worn. Couldn't bear to give it up -- both financially as well as emotionally, since I love it so much -- not to mention the fact that my kids are still too young to even think about a new piece they'll just ruin with their normal chaos. :)After reading the reviews on here and other leather sites, decided to go for the Light Brown. Couldn't decide between this and the next shade up (medium brown) but read that it's best to go with the lighter shade. Now that I've started, I could have absolutely gone even lighter -- these colors are very saturated and cover extremely well -- but I'm super happy, even with it SLIGHTLY darker than it started.Spent a few hours redying part of our living room leather sectional and ran out of the 4oz bottle midway, so if you have a large area to cover you might want to consider buying more than one bottle. As a result of running out (and the fact that I forgot to begin with), though, I took a comparison shot that, honestly, says it all:i47.tinypic.com/349cgf9.jpgLike other reviewers have said, be warned that it DOES stain everything, so take care to lay down towels, tarps, have plenty of rags, etc. The light brown did stain my hands, but most of the obvious coloring came off with soap, water, and rubbing alcohol. What little is left just turned my hands a slightly yellowish tint (I was wearing gloves -- it saturated through them).I used unscented baby wipes, like other reviewers have suggested, to prep. Also had a bottle of rubbing alcohol on hand -- it wasn't suggested, but since these dyes are alcohol based I knew I would thin it out. Had a few spots where the coverage was too heavy (where the leather wasn't as faded) so used some alcohol on a rag and rubbed lightly to thin it out so it graded from the old to the new nicely (I didn't dye the entire thing, just the faded parts).If you have a faded leather piece (shoes, furniture, horse equipment, etc.) that you can't bear to let go of, I HIGHLY recommend Fiebing's. Very old company, superior quality, super cheap price...couldn't possibly ask for more. | 1positive

The Dritz Folding Scissors (3") was the perfect product I needed for a few Christmas Gifts I made. I included them in homemade sewing kits to give to women that work in an office and need to repair loose buttons, snags or rips during the day. I have found these scissors to be very good at snipping and cutting cloth and paper. They fold to a small size that fits in pockets or purses and are just very handy to have around. Men tote knives, women tote scissors and these are perfect. These scissors are made of good quality and are very durable. | 1positive

I purchased 2 of these at once because of the letters I required. First off, the amount of each letter they put in one package is silly and incorrectly adverstised. In addition to not receiving the actual letters I thought I would, they did not work. The few letters, 2 out of the 12 I attempted to fasten to a hoodie, just fell off when they cooled down. The other ten I tried never stuck in the first place. Just in case you are doubting - yes, I made sure I had the right side down. I gave up on them after 2 hours. I gave the remaining letters to my sister-in-law. She runs a daycare and they do all kinds of crafts all the time. She gave up on them too. She said she had never seen iron on letters not work.~Fun note: I ordered two packages to begin with, both orange, and they showed up different shades of orange.If you decide to purchase these anyway, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. It is always possible I just got a bad batch. | 0negative

I thought these would be useful in scrapbooking and that they would work like embossing powders. They didn't work like that, but there was absolutely nothing to describe how to use them in a different way. Could've been more descriptive with the product beforehand, and the product itself could've contained more information about its use. | 0negative

I am incredibly frustrated by this machine. It ran well at first - seems well-made, sturdy, and easy to use. An hour into my sewing machine explorations (I am a total novice), and I can't get the darn thing to sew. It's tricky pulling up the lower thread. When I do pull it up, the machine jams immediately with the first stitch, resulting in that dreaded "bird's nest." The bobbin case keeps popping out. I was initially able to resolve this by adjusting the bobbin tension. But after another 20 minutes of sewing, this has started all over again, and no amount of tension adjustment makes any improvement. 30 minutes of Googling leads me to speculate that I've either damaged the needle or messed up the hook timing. Not sure how to adjust the hook timing, since it's not described in the manual. How about replacement needles? Can't figure out where to get those either.This is an ongoing problem with Euro-pro products, and the reason that I will probably never buy another Euro-pro machine again. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find replacement parts. And the manual is so simplistic that it's just a joke. Useless. I know that a lot of my problems are just because I've never used a sewing machine before, but the cryptic instruction manual and the absolute dearth of information available on the internet for this machine make it a total bust for me. One more try tonight before it gets sent back.**Updated - ** I returned this and got a Singer that was cheaper, but with fewer functions. It works beautifully, and I love the reassurance that having a common brand brings. | 0negative

One patch came unglued almost immediately; the others peeled off after one use by my son. Complete waste of money and time. | 0negative

This product is terrific for all types of filling needs. I use them to make weighted blankets for children with sensory disorders.The product is clean, pours easily without the cling problem associated with styro type products. However, the price on Amazon is almost twice what I paid for them at my local craft store. This is one time I don't think Amazon is the way to go. | 1positive

I JUST got this machine today and was so excited! I finally bought my own sewing machine. I took it out of the box, went to thread the bobbin and the machine worked for a split second and then nothing. I think the foot control is bad. The machine has power, I have re-read the instructions a hundred times, turned it off and on, tried everything I can think of and it still wont work. Am I doing something wrong??? I am a beginner but have used a sewing machine enough to know the basics and can read and follow directions. Is there a trick that I am missing? I didn't even get to try one stitch! I am really disappointed and am now skeptical of this model in general. I hope it's just something I am doing wrong and not the actual machine. Boo! | 0negative

All this piece of garbage does is poke holes in fabric...it NEVER actually sews thread into fabric. I've tried it numerous times and on different materials and it just doesn't work AT ALL. | 0negative

I'm not an advanced seamstress, but I'm not a beginner either and this machine is truly frustrating! I have the same problems as the other reviewer with jamming, as well as thread breakage and loose, uneven, sloppy stitches. It worked great for the first few projects, then I had intermittent problems and now it is so bad I can't even sew a line without issues. I got this as a gift, but I would recommend saving your money and putting it toward one a little more expensive that's a lot more durable and better quality. | 0negative

Within hours of sewing on my new Singer CE-100 Futura Sewing and Embroidery Machine my entire project was ruined. I was sewing with satin and a basic straight stitch when suddenly the bobbin housing popped out of the machine with such violent force that it broke the needle and jammed the satin so tightly into the machine that it had to be cut out of the machine. At first I thought it was because perhaps the bobbin was not loaded or because the tension was off and chalked it up to my excitement to rush into a new project on my hour old machine, however, after closer examination, two more needles, a yard of $95.00 satin and a half of a spool of thread, I learned that the housing which is made of flimsy plastic was split at the screw. The thread was getting caught in the split thus causing me to scrap my entire project, not to mention the time spent and emotional attatchment to my project... and now I am the disappointed owner of a useless machine. What a complete waste of time and expensive lesson this has been! | 0negative

The brushes and everything else are super tiny, only a child's hand can hold those. Not a good set at all. Rather just go to micheal's art store and get the sumi set there. Just stay away from this set, unless you you buy this as a gift for your 3 years old child. | 0negative
