Well, no complaint. I just works as describe. A little soft which is good. Writing is easy on it. Grid line is a reference for work. | 1positive

Nice idea when it works. I've ordered two of these and they only work for a short while, meaning after few months they stop working. The concept is great for people who want the freedom to use the glue gun anywhere but very frustraing when you've wasted the time to charge the base and the glue never melts. | 0negative

I just could not get this to work for me. I did have to return it which was an easy process. | 0negative

This is the worst excuse for a air brush book I have ever seen, the pictures are VERY poor quality and WHO wants to airbrush a picture of Rick Nelson, Elvis Presley and other individuals. I was expecting an "educational" type book not something that I will throw in the trash. You pay for what you get----- | 0negative

While I am looking forward to seeing the polished rocks at the end (we're at day 9), I am irritated at the amount of time it takes. The constant droning, crunchy sound filters up two floors of our house (it's in the basement). My son was disappointed that he would have to wait that long. The time should have been stated on the box so I could have evaluated whether or not we had the patience for it. I read a review on another website that said it took "mere minutes" from start to end. That's deceptive. It's also fairly non-interactive (except for the constant noise) and very messy (while I was changing it, the sludge almost ruined a pair of shoes). I hope this is worth it. | 0negative

For the rock bottom price this is a nice quality loupe. It even comes with its own little storage case. When folded together it is no more that 1.5 inches in diameter and not even an inch thick so you could easily tuck it in a pocket and carry it around with you.For those of you who are confused about what this is: if you've ever seen a movie where a thief brings his loot to his fence and the fence looks at the diamonds with his little scope...that's a loupe. The focal point of the lens is practically right in front of it but it allows for decent magnification with a relatively small lens diameter. Great for a variety of odd little tasks, including inspecting the quality of stolen diamonds ;) | 1positive

We purchased this for my 4-year-old son. He does love this toy, but the design of the blocks is very frustrating. There are very few wedge shaped blocks (maybe only one) so the marbles will not follow the track. The height of the blocks is about 1" so you can't put the blocks so that they have enough slope without them falling off the very narrow columns. Basically, a small child cannot build a marble maze on his own (that works anyway) and even with help the blocks are constantly falling off the columns or other risers. We have to use a box to get enough height going easily with the blocks included.Still, my son plays with it and pretends the marbles use graviti like they should. He makes them go uphill in sections and then lets them go when he can.I'd recommend buying extra marbles. They are small and clear and very easy to lose.We have had to repair two of the animals already (in three weeks) but we do have two small boys who are hard on toys. We had to glue a nose back on animals that broke off. Can't remember the other repair.I would not recommend this toy even though it is colorful and does promote learning. Rather, I'd look at another simiilar toy and see if it's easier to use. Had this been less expensive, I might not have been so disappointed. I feel like they did not test this toy at all-just put it out there for sale. | 0negative

It has taken me 1 week to see the in & outs of serging. Now to replace the needles.I have been working on this all morning. If I get one in the other want go. If I take one out the other will go in. These are the ones that came with the serger.Now I have lost 2 i/2 hrs on this. I am wondering if the needles are bad. Not a good thing for a new kid on the block. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Lady De | 0negative

I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. I would have saved me and my kid the disappointment.I love to sew. My 6 year old daughter loves to watch. So for Christmas, I bought this and a fantastic sewing book in hopes of embarking on a new journey together. Since she is so young, I wasn't entirely comfortable with her sewing on my machine. I wanted something like this as a good intro.This toy does not work well. It comes pre-threaded. Once that thread runs out, you're done. It is VERY difficult to thread this machine. The needle guard requires that you use a threader, but its nearly impossible to get it through. Once you get it going, count to 10 because, chances are, you will be rethreading it again. This machine only holds a tiny spool of thread. I ended up using my "Sidewinder" to make tiny spools for this machine. Although, that too was a waste of time, because this thing has been collecting dust because neither me or my kid want to deal with it.It is nice that it runs on batteries - fewer cords for her to potentially tug.Overall, I wouldn't bother. If you want to introduce your kid to sewing, get an inexpensive, no-frills, but solid sewing machine. All it needs to do is sew a straight line. It won't be cute and pink like this one, but it will be less frustrating in the long run. | 0negative

I just received my lamp, and I am so impressed! I hesitated about spending this much money on a clamp lamp for my painting easel, but now I'm happy I did! First of all, the lamp looks beautiful, not like the ugly round clamp lamps I was going to get... This looks like a high quality stainless type product, it is well made, and the clamp is very secure on the easel. The lamp itself is very heavy (so be cautious about easel stability if you extend the arm too far). The lamp lights up my painting with a very natural light... This product is definitely worth the price! Go for it! | 1positive

I purchased this to dye a faded wool Stetson style hat. Even though the hat is moderately weatherproof the dye soaked in perfectly. I water-tested it after drying and found it to remain color fast. The problem I found (and I offer it as a word of caution, not to fault the product) was that following the directions and soaking the hat in hot water for 30 min caused it to shrink significantly so that, while it is as dark a black as I wanted, it is too small to wear | 1positive

This board is horrible!I used it three times: 6th Grade Science Fair, 6th Grade country report, and 7th Grade invention report.Though it may look good, it really isn't. It is very easy to smear stuff on it and ruin your project, and very easy to break.If you use a glue-stick to glue articles and whatnot to it, yo uwill probably smear it and make it look awful.It is also not durable, I carried it on a windy day into class and it was blowing all over.I don't know a substitute board, maybe you can try some and tell me what you think? Give me a shout-out on AIM if you want, my SN Sis DukeCarMaster987.Last Word:This board may be an A+ at the store, but not when you get it home. | 0negative

My daughter received this toy for Christmas and it's been a very frustrating experience. As an experienced quilter and seamstress, I wasn't expecting to sit down and sew a quilt using this machine, but I was at least expecting to be able to sew more than six stitches before the thread got all jumbled up and became a mess. The tension adjustment on this thing leaves much to be desired -- after over half an hour of playing around with it, I still haven't got it quite right -- but I do have a terrific headache! I really just want her to have something to learn the absolute basics on before she graduates to my old sewing machine, but it looks like I should have just gone for the real thing to start with. Take my advice, if you are a parent who sews, just use your own machine to teach your child or purchase an old used one. Your child will enjoy the time spent actually sewing much more than mine is enjoying the time standing by while I try to figure out the tension on this darn thing! | 0negative

I haven't used a sewing machine since 8th grade Home Economics class, but I'd been wanting to take it up again. I purchased this machine because I heard Brother was a great brand, and the price was really good. Within 15 minutes, I was sewing! This machine is easy to use, with really detailed, easy to follow instructions. I love it! | 1positive

I bought this to appraise some jewelry that has been passed down in the family. I had recently bought a ring for my wife, and while at the store the sales person handed me a Loupe to look at the stone, and I was very impressed with the quality of their loupe, so much so, that when I saw this one I realized that it was the same one. So I bought it. I'm very satisfied with the product. The LED generates a very bright, white light to give you excellent quality viewing. | 1positive

These shears arrived with no packaging and used! They looked super old and had nicks all over the handles and sticky stuff on the blades. Very disappointing and annoyed that it happened. I'd be very careful when you order. Sometimes you think you are buying something new (especially at full price) and you get something totally different. | 0negative

Bought these for my 4 year old and 1 year old for Christmas. They loved them when they tried them out! I had them wear smocks and put a plastic cloth on the table to make sure they didn't stain anything extra - I didn't notice any staining, but I am guessing it's totally possible that they could stain. However, they're a lot of fun for my kids right now! | 1positive
|
I received these quickly enough, but they don't come with instructions. It's not obvious to me how to use them -- I've lost one, because I managed to get it to stay on the ring for a while, but it fell off. Where can I get some guidance on how to use this? | 0negative

The scissors work well but they are bulky. Over hyped laser is useless and time consuming as you have to draw a line, project the laser then follow it. Laser keeps my cat entertained but no much use for straight cutting. Do not buy. | 0negative

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 had to wait for awhile for this book but it was well worth it. It is beautifully illustrated & easier to understand than the manufacturers original instructions that came with my machine. It seems to address all of my needs as I've had my machine for some time now but the most unbelievable thing is the price. My gratitude to the author. She certainly didn't have profit in mind at this price. It's worth so much more than $2.00 or $3.00. It will be much treasured & used!The Complete Serger Handbook | 1positive

I was so excited about getting this machine. so many more features than the similarly priced brother machines at wal-mart. i grew up with the singer name, and know it's reputation for quality machines that last forever. well forever was way too short on this one. cutting the price corner and getting the refurbished machine was a big mistake. it arrived with everything in tact, looked shiny and new, despite having a plain brown box with "factory serviced" stamped on the side (note: this box doesn't seem to be adequately padded for the tough and tumble world of ground shipping). when I went to use it, it didn't work. lights on, but nobody's home. on closer inspection, there is a screw missing from the external case (evidenced by a small marking in the plastic and an empty threaded hole) and in some places the case is not even put together right (plastic overlapping where it should be tongue-in groove). Singer only covers refurbished machines for 90 days (full warranty) and 1 year for the motor and belts. But service will cost you plenty with shipping (this monster weighs in at 17lb) unless you live near a service center. Needless to say, this one is going back to amazon and I'll never buy a "serviced" model again. | 0negative

This would not work with my computer. Windows 7. You are supposed to be able to download an update from Brother's website but that didn't work either. No help from Brother' website available. I can't see where this would be of any use to anyone really. Have purchased embroidery cards that work fine and other software but see no use for this item. Of course Amazon is great and I was able to return it for a refund, which is why I love Amazon. Best place to buy anything. Amazon 5 stars but this software not worth buying. | 0negative

While the pictures of sweet toddlers in classic colors and designs is tempting. Don't bother with this book - or other Debbie Bliss books. I am currently making the Eylet Dress and had to make an appointment with my yarn store's Knitting Doctor. Even she couldn't make sense out of the instructions on the neck shaping. So with her help, I am now 'winging it'. This woman also told me that I was the 2nd person she helped just this morning with a Debbie Bliss pattern. And another employee also told me that she has trouble with DB patters as well. Trouble is there are no diagrams as to what size the pieces are supposed to come out. After spending $35 on yarn and $20 for a book of designer patterns, I don't expect to be 'winging it'. Needless to say, I will never buy a Debbie Bliss book again. | 0negative

I bought this for my kitchen cabinets and love it! It wipes clean so easily and I haven't had a problem with it unsticking itself like some do. It applied easily and the measured lines on the backing make it easy to cut. After almost a year, it still sticks just as good as when I laid it and still looks really good. This will definitely last me awhile! | 1positive

I thought these were all purpose little did I know they were too small for the hot glue gun I purchased of Amazon as well. I was able to give them to a friend. There is nothing wrong with the glue stick just be careful these are small around vs. normal glue sticks. | 1positive

I am so glad that I got this. I've had so much trouble trying to adjust sewing projects by pinning things while wearing them. It is so great to be able to look at the garment from an objective perspective, and make decisions by seeing it from all sides. I have been sewing for a while, but this is my first dress form. I felt like it had a nice weight when I took it out of the box. It was pretty easy to assemble, although, as I think some other reviewers noted, the directions leave out how to add on the hem guide. Do this first -- slide it onto the pole and then clamp the little lever down to make it stay. Then, assemble the rest according to directions. A few people noted that the form didn't stay in the up position. Mine has two rings where the pole sections come together. The top ring is white and the bottom is red. I found sometimes, that when I was trying to tighten by twisting the white ring, the bottom of the pole was actually turning with it. I was able to get the height adjustment really snug by holding the bottom pole while twisting the white ring until it was completely tight. If you just twist the white ring, it might not be tightening all of the way.Adjusting the different knobs was easy, and in general, I used a tape measure to check the adjustments. I haven't tried any heavy garments yet (just a fitted flannel coat), but the feet are big enough that if there were any problems with it falling over, something like little sandbags (large bags of rice?) might help that. For this price, you won't get a "professional" dress form, but this one seems pretty solid overall, and great for the home sewer. As other people noted, it's probably better to have a slightly smaller model than a too big one. You can always pad it out, or make a cover for it if the gaps bother you (I am around the middle of the size range for bust and waist and near the limit on the hips... there are some significant gaps of several inches at the bottom of the model... but the bust looks about right for a size A).If, like me, you had some projects set aside because you just got frustrated with trying to tailor and finish them, then this could be a great investment. It enables you to get the right fit, and see if you are getting the overall effect that you are hoping for with the garment. I am hoping to design some clothes in the future, and I can see this really helping with draping, piecing and designing them. It takes some of the guesswork out of the process... I could definitely hear the springs inside when doing adjustments, so I am not sure if it would be durable for frequent size adjustments for someone who sews for a lot of other people. It would be interesting to know if it withstands that kind of stress. But mine will pretty much stay at my size, and it seems to be doing a good job of staying locked in that position so far... | 1positive

This machine is very tempermental. It jams easily and then tears holes in fabric. If all of the stars "align" you might get a couple good embroidered designs before it stops automatically threading it's self. I have read and reread the manual and am following the directions carefully, but I still find it has problems about 50% of the time. I'm thinking that I should have spent more money on a better model. | 0negative

We bought this for our 12 year old son for Christmas. We haven't even made it through one polishing cycle and the motor DIED!

Yes I got these. They took forever! and then I got them in a big box and when I opened it, it was a teeny tiny little thing. After paying to much for shipping. I felt very ripped off. It does say how many are in there and I did pay the shipping because at the time I could not find any here where I live (In Japan) Usually things I order get here fast but not this. I wont buy anything uless it is bigger or in bulk to make it worth the shipping. I will also just plan on it taking longer then normal. I am not saying I wont buy from them again, because I may if I need something, and feel I can make it work it. Its more my fault then the companys for not thinking it all through. | 0negative

No fun to have your child discouraged. The only lesson this provided me was to NEVER add something to my childs wish list that I have NOT researched. Geesh! Who would have thought a childs sewing machine would be so difficult. What is the point REALLY? Singer has the perfect opportunity to prepare for future customers, but NOT like this.This was a gift for my daughter and she was so patient, preparing and reading all the details only for it to come un threaded after the fourth stitch. Have rethreaded and followed ALL trouble-shooting.No fun. Durable, only in the fact that is doesn't do anything so, it will last forever doing NOTHING! Overall, the toy is a gimmick and only provides a educational value of what NOT to spend your money on. What a waste of time. | 0negative

This item is definitely not for thicker leather hole punch. It won't work well if you try to punch a bigger hold on a medium thick leather. You get what you paid for. | 0negative
|
Yes, it is a piece of junk. Yes, the people who brought it to market should be put in jail and made to eat with defective plastic silverware. But if you want the stitch to lock, ignore the instructions and cut the thread short, approx. 1/2" long, before hand turning the needle "anti-clockwise". This will leave the thread on the bottom side of your fabric in a partially locked position. Good luck! | 0negative

My husband bought me this gift for my birthday recently. It was an excellent gift. I've begun my wonderful creations since I opened the box. The only thing that puzzled me before I opened the box was that althought it was a medium, the box claimed it was for sizes 16 1/2 to 22. Well i'm an 8. However, the box seemed to be too small to fit this dress form if it was indeed created to fit sizes 16 1/2 to 22. Lucky me, my mother pointed out that this was talking about shoulder width not the dress size. I didnt believe her at first but I secretly measured one shoulder to another and sure enough...mama was right. For a second there I thought my husband was crazy to think I was a size 16 or higher. Any whoo, i love this thing because I hate to measure things. I'd rather measure once, set the form and eye ball it the rest of the way. Crazy I know...but this was definately a good gift for me. I highly recommend this Item | 1positive

This is my first sewing machine, and I got it for Christmas from my husband. I was SO excited. I read lots of reviews, and I was stunned by the positive reviews this machine got. It seemed like a no-brainer. Everyone just loves this machine!And I loved it too...for about two weeks. I almost finished a quilt project entirely before I started getting the E6 error...over and over again. One Sunday, I spent two hours threading and rethreading the machine. I'm a pretty patient person, and this machine has me at my wit's end. I'll be sending this back to Amazon. Don't be fooled by all the good reviews...this is a total lemon. And don't even try to call Brother...what a nightmare! | 0negative

Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Candy Print knitted up to be the cutest toddler's hat ever. I crocheted on some contrasting trim, and the result was awesome.This yarn might seem just a trifle stiff when you first finish your project, but I guarantee that one quick wash with some fabric softener will make it absolutely luscious.I am ultra-satisfied with this yarn and would use it again for another project! | 1positive

I own four serger books and this is by far the most useful. It is a great resource for those new to serging, especially if the instruction manual that came with your serger is inadequate. The book covers all of the basics needed for serging without previous experience - serger parts, threading, tension, basic operations, serging knit fabrics, rolled hems, troubleshooting, etc. The author is obviously quite experienced in pointing out common serger pitfalls to the beginner. | 1positive

I shopped lots of reviews before settling on this because I wanted one that was depndable, worked well and didn't cost a huge amount. This was a great choice. It is surprisingly heavy-duty and works very well. We use it a lot, through many pages and it does a great job. An excellent value. | 1positive

When my son suggested that i make a "baby book" for our puppy like the ones i had made for my children, i thought he was crazy. So i started looking for a book that in actuality, i didnt think existed. in my search, i came accross THE PUPPY BABY BOOK so i ordered it - when it arrived i was so excited, its a very user friendly book (even child friendly - my 8 year old fills out the info) and is styled exactly like a human baby book and all the information pertains only to dogs. this book is wonderful! If I adopted another dog i would definately purchase this book again. And I do think this book is a must if you truely love your pet like a baby to document all pertinent information. | 1positive

A solid hot glue gun which reminds me of the one my mother used to have laying around the house when I was younger.A note, this *comes with glue*. If you just need it to do a simple repair job, you don't need to buy glue along with it - don't make the mistake I did. In fact, the "Formula II Super Strength" glue sticks which are included are *great* for repairing things - it dries about as hard as plastic!The built-in stand and included "glue pad" (to work on) are a nice touch. Very satisfied. | 1positive

I purchased this product from Amazon.com after reading many, many positive reviews of this product online. When I first received the product, I was very impressed (although I was expecting the cover to be more of a carrying case). I loved the numerous stitch options, the smooth stitching, the overall performance and style of the machine. After about 6 months of average use, the machine started turning slowly, as if something were bound up inside. Everything you read about oiling a computerized machine will say that the machine is oiled adequately from the manufacturer. Well, I am here to tell you that there was a bearing that was completely seized up on the inside of this machine, and in my way of thinking, this was completely due to inadequate lubrication. My machine was repaired and now it just doesn't sound the same or work the same. I suppose once a machine has been completely disassembled there is no going back. I was really very disappointed that after only 6 months of use this machine is basically junk. I replaced my good old Singer that was 25+ years old (a gift from my mother-in-law) with this machine because of the newer, fancier options. Silly mistake. | 0negative

This is a cute little sowing kit, and works perfectly for the little patch jobs I got it for.The box itself is made out of cardboard covered in material or so it seems. This isn't really a big issue but the first time I closed it one of the sides did bend a bit but it still closes fine and is very cute.The thread spools are not very full though. You will get about 2 to 3 patch jobs out of it depending on the size of the tears.The needles are all the same size and have extremely tiny eye holes, so you may need a threader, which it does not come with.You do get a few safety pins, a ton of pin-pins and a plastic thimble though.All in all worth the price I paid, but is something I would expect to see at a dollar plus store. | 1positive

I bought this machine in June 2011 for my daughter who has never sewn anything on a machine before. So far she's made two skirts with zippers and lining, place mats and napkins and a few things for friends and family, such as a Nook case and tote bag. She didn't have any problems learning the machine, she's not in the local area, so I didn't help her with it at all. She loves it needless to say, it has pink on it, so who wouldn't? We bought it for her as she wanted to learn to sew clothes and other things and we knew that she would be using it frequently. I have a Brother that's about 15 years old and I haven't had any issues with it at all. What a great machine!! We bought it from Amazon because of the great reviews. | 1positive

This is great for making stickers and I also used it on Christmas cards that had cutouts and glitters the cutouts. | 1positive

The machine seemed difficult to thread when I first used it but once I got it threaded, it worked well. Now, after not using it for several months, I can't even get the arm to rise high enough to get access to the hole to thread it so it's essentially useless. Any hints? | 0negative

I have been sewing for many, many, many years and always with Singer Machines.Based on reviews and price i decided to give this machine a try.It was wonderful at first, but to take apart for cleaning and oiling simply takes too much time away from my sewing projects.Plus the screwdriver supplied is so tall it would not fit under the arm, had to use my singer one.I am in the process of finding out how to return. | 0negative

-Smells healthy. much better than the sets my dad used to own as an exhibition designer before 3D MAX.-the color labels are WAY off. It might be the problem of my computer monitor since I've never got it color adjusted, most of the color labels on the markers don't match with the color plate on Prismacolor website, and the labels don't match with the actual color of the marker (sorry about the long sentence) I have to look them up by their names. You may want to create your own color plate just as I did, or test each marker out before you use them on your artwork.-it blends beautifully.-the colors are a lot lighter when they are dry.-the package can be better. It doesn't fits the markers perfectly, but I found it convenient as a shelf on my table.in general, I absolutely enjoy working with those markers. | 1positive

My students love to get these stamps in their notebooks whenever they completed an assigned tasks. They also motivate my slower students to work hard. | 1positive

I bought this ruler to make a christmas tree pattern I found online. I found the ruler unnecessay and ended up not using it. It was easier to cut strips of fabric and then cut the triangles rather than cut on the bias and deal with a lot of stretchy edges. For me...it didn't work out. | 0negative

The top of my desk was a bit of a mess, until I got this organizer. It fits nicely and has contained all my clutter....with room to spare. I would definitely buy this again. The assembly wasn't difficult...it took about 30 minutes. | 1positive

The burgundy turned out amazingly in this, it was exactly what I needed. Unfortunatly the frosting tasted stale and old, when I know it was fine beforehand. Work on the flavor, keep the great coloring. | 0negative

Do not bother to buy this sewing machine case. It is crappy! Don't be fooled by the "Universal" phrase of this product. I have a Brother sewing machine so i bought this item. When i got it, i placed my sewing machine and it rattles around inside the case. I don't see what is so "Universal" about this. There is too much room inside and my machine tips over to its sides when i lift to carry the case. It's terrible!!! I'd give NO star but i don't have that choice on the selection. I wanted to return it but it's not worth the shipping charge that will show up on my refund due to Amazon's policies. By then i would probably only get at most $12.00 back in refunds. | 0negative

What I received was not what is pictured. It is all one size brush not a variety pack and they are not nice and even as pictured. They are very scraggly not great for painting details. | 0negative

After trying it for the first time it did not work. I tried it the second time and it did work and the shirt whent through a washing twice and the button is still attached. If the first plastic attachment does not work, make sure you keep the second one, because you still use it. | 1positive

I tend to put the paint on heavily and my paintings took forever to dry. This medium allows the oil paint to dry more quickly. It works well for me. | 1positive

After just one week of use, an essential part of the hole puncher broke in half (!!!) making it unusable. I had not been overly filling the puncher but for some reason it could not bear the use of 20-30 sheets at a time. Would not recommend to others. | 0negative

So far I have used this machine to take a beginning sewing class and three totebag classes. I have sewed through cotton quilting weight fabric, nylon webbing, fusible fleece, and home dec fabric. I have also done some applique. The performance of this machine is VERY average bordering on disappointing. Tension decides what it wants to do, bobbin is a bit finicky, feed dogs will mess you up in a heartbeat. The feed dogs are very aggressive and make it tough to get into tight spots or start on a seam when making bags.This machine also has a needle that starts in far left position, which isn't always easy for figuring out seam allowances.After less than 40 hours of sewing on this machine, I regret my purchase and wish I had put this money toward saving up for a better machine.All that being said, I would say that if you just want a machine to use a few times a year or make little fun projects for yourself, go for it. The stitches are fun to play with. But if you are interested in starting a serious sewing hobby or even making items to sell, invest in a machine that will make professional-looking items. | 0negative

The product description needs to be changed. I bought this glue specifically because the description says it works on fabric. This is not true. I tried gluing plastic to fabric and that did not work. I also tried gluing fabric to fabric. That also did not work. There was not even any adhesion between the pieces; they fell apart as if there were never any glue applied between them. The items I used were dry and I let them sit undisturbed for a day.The product works fine gluing paper to paper, and attaches them better than Elmer's. | 0negative

I bought this machine a little over a year ago and it's been at the repair shop twice. When I get it working, I'm happy. But I spend more time fidgeting with the machine than actually doing projects. Maybe I need a more heavy duty machine? I'm just bummed that it hasn't worked out. | 0negative

I had misplaced my embroidery foot that came with my machine and was worried this might not work. Upon arrival, I placed it on my machine and it fit perfect. I think I like this one better than the original foot. | 1positive

I would recommend these glue sticks. They stick very well to the materials I have used them on. I wish there was more in the pack for the money. | 1positive

This construction paper was of very good quality and is extremely durable unlike those other cheap kinds you buy at your local store. I bought these for my 2 yr old daughter who loves drawing and she had some metallic crayons that would only draw on black paper. I would say go ahead and purchase it if you're looking for some good quality construction paper at a decent price. Prompt shipping as well. | 1positive
