Artist Bag
I'm an artist and I need something with lots of small pockets for paints.and this was perfect. The size is great for carrying everything in. | 45 stars

Great and Frustrating!
I'm on the fence here. Cutter is easy to use and definitely reduced my usual hand pain and fatigue when cutting quilt pieces. Then I had to change the blade! Haven't gotten it to work right since and I'm about to start a new quilt! Planning to call the company. | 23 stars

Great Deal
We got a great deal on a quality product. We highly recommend Fiskars and would order this product again in the future. | 34 stars

It failed expectations
They are OK. I use the,m but I had to go and get new ones because these did not do the job right. | 23 stars

Super cool sewing machine
I didn't know how to sew, and with this sew machine is very easy, and you can learn fast. And the price is amazing. It doesn't weight so much, so you can move wherever you want to. it's a very good product to buy. | 45 stars

Working great!
These patches worked even better than I'd imagined. I've used them on 5 pairs of my 6 yr old son's denim jeans. They fade well, and blend in well. They also remained attached firmly even after multiple washes. Also very easy to apply. | 34 stars

shocked
I was shocked when I got my order. It was one piece of carbon paper. the cost to ship it was three times more then the product cost. and it was only the size of a charge card. to send it back would of done no good. the cost was stupid. First time I have ever felt ripped off.. Very disappointed.. No reason for this to happen.. | 01 star

Works great for thoughts you don't want to be seen
Everyone should have one. Just seeing things in print helps sometimes clears your head, Than it's gone. I thank you, | 45 stars

Problems from the start...
We ordered 7 of these machines for our school sewing class, and each machine is in use approximately 1-2 hours per week. Upon receipt, one of the machines would not work, and we received a replacement. We have now been using the machines for about 6 weeks, and have consistently had problems with the bobbin casing dislocating and causing the needle to jam or break. The sewing instructor, who has extensive sewing experience, used the word temperamental to describe them and said that they are a nightmare for the frustrated students attempting to learn to sew. They were reasonably priced, but I guess you get what you pay for. | 12 stars

Awesome-solved the most frustrating part of sewing
These pins are easy to see and easy to pick up. You can sew over them, and they are nice and long. No more struggling to get a pin out, or forgetting one in a pattern and ripping it. | 45 stars

Most Worthless Sewing Machine even for KIDS!
Bought this machine for my daughter. Yep, it was cheap, but I thought at least she can start somewhere and it had a needle guard so she wouldn't accidentally get her fingers under the needle. This thing NEVER EVEN SEWED! It would stitch, but the stitches always came out. Not sure how it can sew if there is no bobbin. I went over and over the directions trying to figure out if there was something I was missing, but nope I wasn't ! So it went back and they almost didn't take it back b/c I threw the box out! Definitely save yourself time money and aggravation and DON"T BUY THIS PRODUCT! I'm even upset I have to give it any stars at all on this review.Singer Chain Stitch Sewing Machine SetU | 01 star

Great for business cards!
Easy to use and the cuts come out smooth. I had another corner punch in the past that I lost and I like this one much better. | 45 stars
|
It rocks! Wow!
I suck at sewing machines and I got this one really easily. The directions were really clear. I have sewn maybe 3 different times and I got it first try. I really love it. I like the sleek design. It's relatively light weight and it's pretty small - two concerns I had when picking which one. The person below me said this machine sucks but she's also a first time sewing machine user. Maybe get some lessons before writing a review saying the machine sucks. Maybe it's user error. Even my fiance understands this machine now. It's easy. The stitches are really nice, it comes with some necessary tools. You can always trust the name Singer and you know they'll always be around to replace parts or get additional accessories. Oh I got the one with the automatic threader - pretty awesome!!! I don't wear glasses and I really don't plan on it for a while so I was really thrilled to use this option. | 45 stars

Portfolio
I thought the fabric would be a little thicker. But for the money I am sure it is just about right. | 23 stars

Great for packing
The brown paper is the same weight and thickness as brown paper bags. This worked great for wrapping glassware for moving. | 45 stars

Very Cute
My wife ironed this on the back of her sweatshirt that she wore the morning of our wedding to go and get her hair and makeup done. She also got some for the bridesmaids. They were very cute. | 45 stars

Replacement pad for compact folio
Bought for the compact sketch portable folio. It's just as tight as the original pad in the folio but at least close to the same size. Product itself it fine. | 34 stars

Great for my spring projects ...
I do love making cards, and this paper pad fits right into my plans for spring projects. Most of the cards I make are donated to various charities for silent auctions and fund raisers, so I appreciate getting good value for my money. This Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) pad delivers.You're getting 72 sheets of coordinated papers, some with glitter and "shine." The colors are fairytale lavenders, greens, blues, and pinks, some quite subtle, others more bold. I do cars that are 5" x 6.5" most of the time; occasionally I'll do some A2 size (4.25" x 5.5"). The size of this paper works very well for both sizes.Very pleased with this purchase. | 45 stars

Ideal for making tote bags!
Oilcloth is easy to work with, and is ideal for a tote bag since it's washable and easy to clean. | 45 stars

Does the Job, but Store Carefully
Fresh Avery Glue Sticks work beautifully, transfering a thin even layer of glue to paper. Even thin paper doesn't wrinkle.However, the glue sticks do dry out (even with the caps on), and then the glue does not spead in an thin even layer. I store my "virgin" sticks in a ziplock bag. I keep my "current" stick in an reused "spice bottle" (prescription medicine bottles would also work) which is only a little larger than the glue stick itself. In most cases, these smaller glue sticks are a better choice than the big glue sticks because your supply will stay fresher longer (assuming that unused sticks are stored in a plastic bag or bottle). But if you have a big project, the big sticks may be better for youAvery Clear Application Permanent Glue Sticks, 1.27 oz, 6 per Pack (98073)I use the glue sticks to convert ordinary laser-printer paper to shipping labels. Self-adhesive shipping labels are expensive, at least 25 cents each---so, I use ordinary paper and attach it with the glue-stick glue, and then cover with a transparent shipping tape to protect the label. | 45 stars

Wallpaper
Looks a bit like wallpaper. There is gold running through it that I wasn't very thrilled about. | 23 stars

way worth the price
the beads came just in time, and they have to be the best Mala beads i have ever bought. i would easily pay 30 bucks for this item because of the great quality. i am a very happy customer | 45 stars

Love this machine!
This is the second Brother sewing machine I have had. The first one was a cs8072 model that cost under $200.00 and worked like a dream for many years. I used it pedal to the metal every day and it finally wore out. I plan to take it in for service to see if it can be saved...but in the meantime, I ordered the cs6000i and it arrived in less than a week. It is very much like my last one but came with a quilting foot,a walking foot and a large platform! Great in all aspects. I also love the needle threader and free arm for small areas. For the money these little computerized Brothers far exceed my expectations! I suggest if you do have any problems, please read your owners manual, and use good needles and good quality thread. Brother Deluxe Electronic Sewing Machine - CS6000i | 45 stars

More work than advertised
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... | 12 stars

Bought for a child
I bought this because my 1 year old loves to chew on buttons on my shirts or her shirts, and I always worry that the button will fall off. So I bought these and sewed them onto a blanket for her, so I could make sure they were sewn on very tight. However, do not to let a child have a loose button that's not sewn onto something. The buttons may be too big to swallow, but a child can shove a button into their mouth and gag on it. | 34 stars

Great product!
Absolutely wonderful product! Cuts very smoothly and so easy to use. I didn't get the color shown, but it works so well, I don't even care about the color. | 45 stars

works great.
If you have an old car with stainless trim on it this will make it shine.fixing up an old 1954 car,lots of stainless trim on it.chuck it up and use the polish dark first then light and it looks great.It outshines the chrome now.this is a good in- expensive way to polish any metals. | 34 stars

Some issues
I read the Amazon reviews very closely before making this purchase. I loved this machine when I first bought it b/c it had a happy purr when I sewed. It was so cute and compact. I was influenced by the glowing reviews and thought this would be a great little machine.So, the problems started soon after the purchase. I assumed that I just wasn't very skilled at sewing zippers. The foot was wobbly and the stitches were terrible. But after three different people tried sewing on my machine stated that they all hate the zipper foot. All of the users were skilled sewers and one taught at Parsons. It's a technical problem -you can't get close enough to the zipper to make a good, straight stitch. Now, I sew perfect zippers all the time on other machines. I bought another zipper foot at Jo-Annes but it just doesn't work. Real sewers need to be able to sew zippers -it's really basic. Simple straight stitching was fine most of the time. The machine never liked frequent use and would have threading/bobbin problems if I sewed more than a couple of hours in a day.I'm a design student and this is a problem. It's really a cheap consumer model and you get what you pay for. I felt like after reading the stellar reviews I couldn't pass up such a good deal. I would not buy the machine after using it (and relying on it) for while. I don't need an industrial machine for home use -but I certainly need one that will last and be dependable.Last year I did a project making simple cat beds for the animal shelter. It's horrible to see cats sleep in their litter b/c the open wire cages are so uncomfortable. Well, my goal was to make 30-70 unlined, two layer bed/blankets in a medium cotton fabric. This is one of the simplest and fastest projects I can imagine doing. The machine couldn't handle consistent use and the needle kept getting caught in the bobbin. The needle even seemed to shift forward slightly which was odd. The repairs were almost the cost of the machine so now it sits in the closet. I'll donate it to a nonprofit if I find one that can get it repaired for free/cheap. | 12 stars

Brother sewing machine
This machine is a great buy for easy repairs and sewing.The bobbin was alittle complicated to thread, different principle than my old Singer. But it is a great buy for the money and works like a charm. | 45 stars

Great features for a great price
I bought this machine over 8 months ago and have been continually suprised at all of its great features. After doing a lot of research on different brands and models I settled on this machine and haven't regretted my decision. There is definitely some learning involved in winding a bobbin. You have to make sure the thread sits in the middle of the bobbin before it starts winding. I also occassionaly have to use my finger to guide the thread to make sure it winds evenly. However, this is no big deal and I've read where many others have to do this on machines that cost a great deal more.The stitch quality is wonderful and with over 120 stitches to choose from I am able to always find one that suits my needs. The display offers a help menu with pictures if I need assistance.I mostly sew home dec items and clothing and this machine has handled it all. | 45 stars

fiskars scissors sharpener
This is great! Easy to use, and scissors are sharp, especially after cutting a lot of fleece. Easy to use, and easy to store in a drawer | 45 stars

GREAT for removing coating from polycarbonate lenses!
I read all the reviews about Armour Etch and decided to try it on a small area of my glasses. My lenses were foggy and scratched but my prescription had only a slight change, not enough to warrant $300+ in new lenses and frames. I let the product set for 5 minutes and got a little worried and rinsed it off and it had turned the lens all cloudy. Discouraged but figuring I had nothing to loose at that point I recoated the area and let it sit a full 30 minutes. VOILA! Perfectly clear lenses! I was so amazed I did my old pairs also. | 45 stars
|
NICE!!
Great machine for the price!! I use it frequently and love it. Just read the manual and watch the video to help you trouble shoot. I believe I'll get many years of great use from this machine. I love the choice in stiches as well. I am working on a quilt and can't wait to use some of the quilting features on this machine. Hopefully thoses features will be just as easy to use. Thanks, Brother, for making an easy-to-use machine that doesn't break the bank. | 45 stars

beware
This product appeared sturdy, however I returned it since the fine print at the back of the package indicated that it is made out of a plastic known to cause cancer and genetic defects. Beware! | 12 stars

fantastic
very useful, it has the basics needed for a price on some items are saving to buy it separately, and does not occupy space, I like that. not much in length of wire, but the basics and the price is fantastic. | 45 stars

Just out of the box, but it looks good!
just picked up this baby at my local super-t. I would say i am beginner/intermediate. I was intending to buy the singer that was on sale, but it got several bad reviews, and im not down with that. I have always wanted a decent machine, but this is my first real one, ive been the one buying the crappy battery operated version. Well, i have to say ive been playing around with it all afternoon and im really pleased, lightweight, yet feels sturdy, doesnt shake, vibrate on the table, sews smoothly. Ive been having fun with the many decorative stitches already.I have to say dont shy away from this machine if you are a beginner. the instructions were easy to follow to thread it, and the fast threading bobbin is a great help. Its got a automatic needle threader-so fabulous! I thought i would never be able to use all the functions, but here i am, a few hours into my first day with it, and i "get it". I honestly expected it to be much more complicated. Its really not. The instruction book seems thourough, yet not overly so. has guidelines for different stitches and why you would use them-a bonus for me, as i had no idea there was a need for so many different ones..included are several different "feet" a button-putter-on-er, quilting, a seam ripper, a few tools.I gave four stars because the foot pedal is a little too lightweight. It seems to work smoothly, easy to control, but for almost 200$ it couldve been a bit more professional. | 34 stars

Mother's Day best gift
Bought this as a gift for my wife, she's fairly new in the sewing business and this is her first sewing machine. It's very user friendly she was able to master it over a couple of weeks and loves the capabilities and options it provides. | 45 stars
|
Good thing it was so cheap
This product punches fine except the holes punched are at the end of the paper and when put in a binder they end up getting torn as they are too close to the edge. I also tried the Swingline and that did the same thing. I would not recommend this product nor Swingline at all. | 01 star

Truly Excellent Pencils
It took me a few years to actually realize the versatility of these pencils, and I'm honestly ashamed it too so long. They're strong, very easy to layer, and for the quality, remarkably inexpensive. | 45 stars

Awesome appearance, but it stinks!
This is beautiful paper... it's thick, it takes the ink from my Epson 3880 perfectly, and the finished product looks like studio quality output. All of the things that you would expect from something called Ultra Premium Luster. However... I've found that this paper stinks, meaning that it emits an unpleasant smell that is noticeable in confined spaces. I had a few large proofs sitting in my office for a couple of weeks, and an Unidentified Smelling Object (USO) started to bother me and my office visitors. I could not pinpoint the exact smell for two weeks and it was driving me crazy. Did something die in there, I wondered? Did I step in something in the parking lot? If it makes you happy to imagine it, I was sniffing all around my office like a bloodhound trying to discover the source. Alas, it was simply the stack of Epson paper behind me that was stinking up the place. I moved the paper to another room, and the smell disappeared... mystery solved. I can't be certain that it's not just the ink from the printer, or perhaps the combination of the two (that's why I didn't take away any stars). If you work in a small space like me, this might be interesting for you to contemplate. Otherwise, enjoy this majestic visual media in well ventilated areas! | 45 stars

Works well until you need to clean it.
I've had this machine for about 2 years now and absolutely LOVED IT... however every time I need to remove the needle plate to clean underneath it, get a tangled thread out, etc. it frustrates me to no end! The screws are in exactly the right spot that the screwdriver (that comes with the machine) will not fit up under the arm to get to the screws. I have tried every angle to no avail. I don't remember how I did it last time (because I have been able to take it off before to clean it), all I remember is that it was very frustrating. And today I needed to remove it so that I could untangle the thread and I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it last time. So anyway, I gave this machine 3 stars because it really is an excellent basic machine when you are actually using it and it does all the basic stitches plus a few cute/useful extras but cleaning it is a total hassle. | 23 stars

Excellent glue for paper kits
I am a railway modeler, and I build a lot of British-made paper kits, which are made with colored, embossed paper on cardboard, giving an amazingly realistic appearance and a very affordable price. In a "how-to" video, the biggest manufacturer of these kits in Britain recommended this UHU glue and he was right.The glue sets in 10 or 20 minutes, giving time to work with it. It is excellent for paper and for the transparent plastic windows, and is not water-based so it doesn't absorb into the cardboard and warp it, as white glue does. The perfect solution for anyone who needs to attach paper, cardboard, plastic, wood etc.I bought a lifetime supply of the stuff, but hopefully it's available in single bottles for those with shorter lifetimes! | 45 stars

The Bucket
This bucket and screen combo is very useful. Fill it with thinner (Note 1), and away you go. Brush cleaning is a breeze.Note 1: The bucket is made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). Check the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the storage requirements of your thinner before you pour your thinner into the bucket. To save you a little bit of searching, HDPE is resistant to Naphtha (a common petroleum derivative used as a paint thinner). | 34 stars

Not durable at all.
The way this product works is that as you squeeze the cutting piece is spun and pushed up. this is achieved my small metal rods which stick out of the cutting piece and fit into tracks providing the desired path for the piece. now the problem is these tacks are plastic and after about an hour of repeated use, the product would occasionally stop working. shaking the product around sometimes helped.I decided to open up the product and see what was going on which is when i discovered the plastic tracks. they had been almost entirely eaten away and in pars simply had broken off. this resulted on the blade often popping out of its tracks making it impossible for the product to do its job until by chance, after lots of shaking around, it would fall back into the tracks.with the product working at a rate of about 1 disc per minute i decided to just take it apart again and manually push the blade into the paper i needed to cut. needless to say, as soon as i finished the project, i threw the thing out. | 01 star

thread and bobbin kit
i had gotten this to go with the hand held sewing machine i also got. i didn't know that the machine came with some thread already. it is nice to have more on hand whenever i need it. this is a great addition for anyone who does any type of sewing, by hand or machine. | 45 stars

Beautiful, professional quality portfolio for presentation
Book is aesthetically appealing, and durable. I was initially concerned that the plastic cover might scratch easily, but that has not been the case at all. Book can only hold approximately 25 page holders (50 pages inserted back and front with professional photo paper) comfortably; provided page holders are archival and do not smudge or dent (plastic and paper) easily. Only dislike is tiny blue square painted on top outside of spine of binder! Perhaps this was done to help the portfolio presenter identify top from bottom? Can't say for sure... | 45 stars

kidcraft upholstered rocker with ottoman pink chenille
I purchased two of these chairs for my twin daughters. My girls love them and they are super cute, however after a week the material started to rip along the side arm of the chair. Chairs are also along the small side,my girls are 17months and only weigh 21 pounds and these chairs will only last a few more months before they are to big for them | 23 stars

Good Enough But Nothing Special
The applicator is a plastic wand that makes it difficult to spread glue over puzzle surfaces. I ended up buying another brand and throwing this glue away. | 12 stars
|
quiet little worker
This serger is a little quieter than my other machines. Easy to thread, non-standard levers and knobs, but they work great and it's easy to get used to. Example, the foot raising control is on the upper right instead of near the needle.This is such a good deal, that I might buy another one to save from switching thread so often! | 45 stars
|
Magnet is too weak
Looked like a great idea but the magnet is too weak to support anything heavier than a piece of paper. | 12 stars
|
Excellent Ink
I am a huge fan of Noodler's Ink. The company believes in providing a quality product at a reasonable price. I haven't used a Noodler's ink that I wasn't pleased with. The standard bulletproof black is one of my favorites. It is a very well behaved ink with almost no feathering or bleed through even on the crummiest of paper. It is a little bit on the drier side, but no so much that it is a problem even in drier pens. I use it everyday. | 45 stars
|
Great while it lasted
it worked great while it lived, stayed sharp all these time. But fell apart at the pivot point after 1.5 years. | 34 stars

Exactly what my young artist wanted, I will purchase more in the future. It was exactly as describled and willmake a great gift | 45 stars

It Rounded the Corners
Yep, I push a piece of paper into the corner adorner corner punch and push down and like a little mini-miracle - the SHARP CORNERS ARE NOW ROUND!!!So, if you desire rounded edges on here-tofore sharp corners - this is the thing for you! | 45 stars

Poor product
The glue was completely hard and dried up as soon it was opened, and it went immediately into the trash. I definitely do NOT recommend this product. | 01 star

Great for fabric
Best scissors I have purchased ever. They glide quickly through fleece, and so far I have made several no-sew blankets and the scissors are still as sharp as the first day I got them. | 45 stars

Super cute
My friend gave me a stamp for a present, but unfortunately without a stamp pad. So I've searched several items, and finally chose this one for the unbeatable price as well as the cute option of an apple scent. Though the smell seems a bit grotesque than I expected, the cute apple image and the durable stamp pad is worth the choice. Also shipment was fast. So I decided to purchase other colors for this product. | 45 stars

Camel Jiffy Yarn makes Soft, Cozy Afghans
Lion Brand Jiffy is a soft bulky yarn a little heavier than sports yarn.I enjoy making afghans from Jiffy yarn because they are warm and cozy. The colors are true and the finished products are very pretty. A crachet hook size H, I or J works well with this yarn. | 45 stars

Spatula
It is good, but might be better. The adhensive cover stay on the surface of spatula.It should be always clean, otherwise the paper might be broken. | 34 stars
|
Excellent Scissors
These scissors feel very durable straight out of the package. The cut well. I have relatively big hands and they fit well in my hands but my seem big for somebody with smaller hands. The blades are sharp, time will tell how long they stay sharp for. Impressed with them out of the box and first couple of uses. | 45 stars
|
great buy
I purchased these because they are made by crayola.Their crayons are true to color,not like other brands where the color is off.My grandkids will get alot of use out of these crayons and will enjoy coloring and creating with them.I would recommend this product to others. | 45 stars

Good read!
Helped with my Serger. Now able to understand how to use my Serger more effectly.So glad that I have this reference now. | 45 stars

Good light but can be finicky.
This was the first lighter I've bought that's over $10. My main purpose for buying it was for lighting cigars, small soldering projects, and a survival lighter. It works well for the first two uses and I would imagine it would be reliable in a survival situation seeing as it has a nice cap to cover the part where the flame comes out which avoids getting water in it. The only negative thing I can say is that sometimes it misfires and the flame goes out on the lowest setting. I actually haven't had it misfire in a while but that could be in relation to the fuel level. When it's full it seems like it misfired more but now that it's under 1/2 it seems fine. I also cleaned out the torch area with a q-tip and that seemed to help too. I was lighting off fireworks with it for the 4th and I think some debris got into it and it actually wouldn't light at all. Overall it's a good quality lighter and will surely last longer than what you would find at a convenient store. | 34 stars
|
Great, but...
I would recommend getting the smaller size that is solid, rather than a cylinder. It seems like the cylinder isn't as strong as the solid round magnets. | 34 stars

Very cool tool
I bought this to go with the stack-n-whack book by Reynolds. I have used these mirrors for many quilt blocks and they are handy. | 45 stars

Tons of fun at a bargain.
My 2 1/2 yr old has had tons of fun with this and there's still so much left to do. The possibilities are endless. Top quality products. Comes with big glue stick and really cool crayons that can be used for a LONG time. Well worth the money. | 45 stars

Beautiful thick paper
Love this paper. Really thick and sturdy and vibrant colors that hold fast way past the cheap construction paper I had gotten at Micheals and art stores. I used many many packages of this paper in a large paper sculpture and it even stood up to me varnishing it without it fading. Great true colors, especially the black. | 45 stars

Half the designs, more than half the price
This card contains half of the designs that are on the Brother Disney "Film Stars" embroidery card. That card can be commonly found for $99 or less. To get all of the same designs, you have to buy two of these cards (the New Disney Classics and Belle and Ariel card). If you are only going to use Ariel & Belle, this is good. If you want Lion King and Aladdin too, you should look into the full size Film Stars card instead. | 23 stars
|
good test kit
as good as expected at the right prices thanks very easy and reliable but could have haad a little written information packet on what to look for and what the results mean for a novice begginer like me i.e. if it dissapears its fake if it turns green its fake and other simple results information like that thanks good over all product though | 45 stars

Great Product
Feels like this hole puncher will last a very long time. The metal construction feels substantial and it takes little effort to perforate the paper. | 45 stars

Alvin Craftmaster art table

Exactly Right!
I brought the fadeless paper for my office at work. I had red construction paper on my bulletin board which had faded terribly. I was searching for fadeless paper and found it on Amazon.com.It is exactly what I needed!!!! I have received many compliments on my bulletin board and have enough left over to share.I highly recommend the the rich blue fadeless paper for bulletin boards. | 34 stars

Stencils work well for a variety of projects.
Bought the stencils as a birthday gift for someone. She is really enjoying the stencils. She felt they are of very good quality. She is currently using them for her scrapbooking and knows her daughter will love them for drawing projects as she gets older. The thickness of the plastic will keep them in good shape for many years. The only negative for me was that they were alittle expensive for stencils. | 34 stars

Great sharpener!
I have been using this sharpener for years with my Fiskar 7: scissors. It works very well. Just open thescissors, slide the blades into the two slots, then close the scissors as if you are cutting a piece of paper.Repeat approximately 10 times. The scissors will cut a nice clean line again without dragging. | 45 stars

Exactly what I was looking for!
This product is easy to use and the results are lovely. I filled in some blank areas in an antique Italian side table. Thanks! | 45 stars

a bit disappointing, but not bad for the price
I'm a raw beginner when it comes to calligraphy, so I was looking for a starter kit that included nibs in different sizes. I picked the Sheaffer set of seven because it had gotten a couple of favorable reviews, and because Sheaffer is a reputable name.I'm not thrilled with what I got. I do appreciate the fact that there are three pen bodies, because I don't have to swap out nibs whenever I want to work in a different size. Another positive is the excellent selection of colored ink cartridges--everything from hot pink through purple. However, they didn't always puncture easily and cleanly, which contributed to ink flow problems. The nibs aren't helping much there, either. The fine one is okay, but the medium and broad nibs are chronically irregular, so it's nearly impossible to get even lines. My other complaint about the nibs is that they're all too thin. Beginners are best off making big letters to learn, and none of these nibs is broad enough to make a well-proportioned letter more than 3/4" high, max.The pens have comfortable rubber grips. They're quite a bit lighter than what I like in a good pen, but I hardly paid as much as I would for a good fountain pen--and besides weight and balance are a matter of personal preference. So overall this kit was a mixed bag. It's not as good as I might have liked, but it was so inexpensive that I probably shouldn't be so critical. Still, I'd suggest that instead of buying this, you check out your local art supply store. You should be able to find high-quality nibs and holders from Brause or Speedball, and won't pay more than this. | 23 stars

I'm Loving it!
I must say that this is a great step up from my "singer school model" I've been using now for oh....twenty years now. I am the type to hang on to everything and letting go of my singer was difficult, but considering it came this past Christmas as a gift from my husband I tried it out. I am by no means a professional, but I do what I can to quilt loving items from remnants as gifts, mend my own clothes when necessary, sew clothes for my daughter and neice, etc. So this machine is quite the item for me. I am thrilled with the free arm. Also, love the needle threader. I cannot say enough about this machine. I would recommend it to anyone just starting out sewing as well. Great buy for the occasional sewer! | 45 stars

excellent sewing machine
Excellent sewing machine. Easy to use - I'm in my 60's. I intend to teach my 10 yr old granddaughter how to sew. Perfect for both of us. | 45 stars

Great book
This is a really beautiful book, great illustrations, so much better for me as a newcomer to the birding world than books with photos. I would like more information about the birds though. Excellent book! By the way, great service by Amazon.com I had my order within 3-4 days. Thanks | 34 stars

Singer in the Rain
This little machine is just ideal to cart to sewing and quilting classes. Though small and light weight , it has a "heft" to its stitching ability. The motor is more than adequate for this "little machine that could." I find myself lifting it out of its carrying case to sew at home when I don't feel like changing bobbins or threads in more stationary machines. Whether for traveling or for a great starter machine, I would reccomend it. | 45 stars

Fun
These are a great size for kids. Definitely for play and not really a useful button. I took one star off because while the picture shows a variety if shapes my bag only came with four - hearts, squares, triangles and stars. I was really hoping for the variety in the picture, oh well, maybe others had better luck. | 34 stars

Very Functional
This is a very useful item, it contains everything necessary for various tasks. Its compact design is a plus, it does not require much space for storage, and has some internal free storage room for similar items that a person already has. | 34 stars

Very Good!
This little butane torch is awesome. You can vary both the flame size andintensity to match your work. It seems to be very durable, more than I can say for my master appliance 200 butane iron/torch. I just wish the shop I work in wouldprovide the butane, which is after all consumable... | 45 stars

Noodler Ink
This ink was recommended to me by another fountain pen user. I tried it and liked it and ordered a bottle for myself. It is all that it is advertised to be. Their website is excellent and so is their service. | 45 stars

Great for crafts.
Good product and seller. Arrived very quickly. Just what I needed to add the finishing touches to several used kachina dolls bought at auction requiring some minor touch up. | 34 stars

Didn't work
I followed the directions to the letter and couldn't get this to work. It does require curing in UV light (no shortage of that in middle Georgia), which was not apparent to me when ordering. | 12 stars
