Pay A Little Extra
I bought this as my first sewing machine. I use to sew when I was younger but recently decided to get back into it... i read some good reviews on it so I bought it... worst mistake EVER! I've read the manual repeatedly and even had a seamstress come over to help me figure it out but no matter what I run into these problems EVERY time I use it... fabric gets pulled down, bobbin thread binds up, foot pedal is all or nothing so its impossible to sew a straight line... I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. I can not wait to buy another one and put this one in the garbage where it belongs. what a waste of money! | 01 star

BEST Clear Tape Ever
Scotch made this stuff, apparently, for repairing book spines and IT WORKS GREAT! I used the office laser color copier to print a couple of replacement spines for beloved kids books (Tintin and a signed Dr. Seuss) and they have "shelf appeal" all over again. Scotch book tape is clear, thick and very tough.I also reinforced a used paperback textbook that was splitting, no doubt, because some dope perspired all over the edge of the covers and/or had fun peeling them back. Scotch book Tape to the rescue: BETTER shape than when I bought it and with new, sharp corners on both covers. Then, onto an old paperback that I picked up cheap, washed the cover (hey, germs, OK?) and reinforced for another read. Superb.Would I buy it again? I'd buy it for special projects and will definitely keep a roll handy for just such valued fixes. Scotch has consistently made great products; this exceeded anything so far! | 45 stars

Highly recommend this product
Nice quality product at a great price. Goes perfectly with Pioneer 12x12 memory book - same quality refills. My order came with extension posts. Quick delivery. Would definitely buy again. | 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

Great paper great deal
great for what I need taking picture works good for background would buy again lots of cool colors nice and thick | 45 stars

Great hole punch
If you need to punch holes for catalog type applications this is the way to go. Very heavy duty and easy to use. Everything as advertised. | 45 stars

drawing table
The table has a nice large surface which is nice. However one side of it was damaged in shipping. I used it for the bottom. The folding aspect of the table is great and really easy to use. It adjusted perfectly to fit our daughter. Overall really nice product. | 34 stars

Quality product
Blades were shipped fast only took a couple of business days by mail. They are sharp, clean (no blemishes or rust spots) and extremely easy to change. The package has a built in storage for unused blades that securely stores blades until ready for use.I love using Fiskars products and am glad they are available through amazon.com | 45 stars

Calligraphers be warned!
Don't buy this pen if you want to write in Calligraphy. The nibs on this pen are blunt and do NOT produce a sharp, clean script. It doesn't matter what kind of paper I used, the ink flow and nib produced rounded letters much like you'd get with a regular sharpie felt pen. VERY disappointed in this product. The nibs are supposed to be chisel tip but do not produce a sharp edge at all. | 12 stars

Must Have
without this tool, it would be very difficult to remove your cuts from your Cricut mat. It is especially helpful with the really small or detailed cuts.in my opinion it really should come with the Cricut | 45 stars

Great storage unit.
I bought this cause my grand daughter was starting to learn how to sew and she uses it all the time. | 45 stars

Crystals
nice product, as promised, thank you. Product was swarovsky crystal beads with holes in the center, a little fragile but pretty | 45 stars

Great sketchbook in a little package
Great quality and made for an awesome birthday present for the budding artist in our family. My daughter wanted a sketchbook to take to school which would not take up too much room in her backpack. And this was a perfect size. Fast shipping as well (THANKS Hyatt - LOVE them Buffalo stores). The drawings have started and this book will last until she goes through the pages - very durable. | 45 stars

Good brand, good product, great durability
Man, this stuff is tough.I worked in book processing for an academic bookseller and I've used a number of different products that claim to reinforce and strengthen, but this stuff is the best I've seen, short of a now-discontinued Kapco item that sold for almost three times the price.If you have any old or hard-used books, do yourself a favour and buy a roll of this stuff. Whether you're planning on reselling the books or not, you want to keep them in good shape.I've also used this tape to reinforce the corners and covers of my heaviest gaming books. When you're carrying a 30-pound bag of RPG hardcovers in your trunk, they tend to get dinged no matter what you do, but there's been a marked decrease in damage since I've wrapped up my most-used tomes.Highly recommended. | 45 stars

Brother CS6000i Advance Sew Affordable 60-Stitch Computerized Free-Arm...
This is a totally new machine for me. My old Kenmore did not have all of these options. I am relearning to sew and will reserve the remained of my review for later. This is one of those things which I am going to have to keep the booklet next to me.For now, it was relatively easy to thread the machine, love the self threading (once I got my hands to work together). | 23 stars

these stickers were bad
they were bad because i couldn't separate the stickers to add them into my scrapbook, it's like all the stickers were stuck to the paper that it come on and most of the parts of the stickers weren't even cut right to be separated, it was very annoying to use these stickers, will never buy again, or recommend to a friend | 01 star

NOT IN STOCK
I ordered black stands, but they sent cherry-red stands. I emailed LUCCA and they informed me that black was not in stock. They were great about issuing a refund and shipping label, but it was a waste of time for me to wait for this to arrive only to have to send it back. | 23 stars
|
A good craft kit
We got this craft kit for our 11 year old granddaughter. I think it is right for her age and she will enjoy working on the projects. The fact that everything needed to do the projects was provided prevents a lot of frustration on the part of her and her parents. I would recommend this product. | 34 stars
|
I LOVE THESE
I use these all the time for cards, art, shoes, posters, invitations...I have received a couple boxes second hand that had separated and that can't be fixed I found out. So, be careful when purchasing that you get fully mixed tubes. These pen/glue tubes make everything you create "POP" and sparkle. | 34 stars
|
Great Scale to Keep in Notebook
I keep this scale tucked in my notebook because I used to always find myself attempting to use a tape measure on plans when in the field. This scale has been a life saver on multiple occasions.I do wish the scale had a 3/16 and 3/32 in place of the 1 1/2 and 3 side.Scale feels cheap and light weight in your hands, but works perfectly. Works perfect, but don't expect a hardy premium scale. | 34 stars

Good value
These ornament display stands (set of 2) are exactly what I wanted to show off my fairy ornament collection. I like that they're sturdy and well balanced. I consider them a good value and would recommend them without reservation. | 45 stars

The classic rock tumbler from the '80s
I never had a rock tumbler as a child but I always wanted one. When I would browse the Sears catalog (remember those?) this is the one I always saw. When my 4-year old son began to show a huge interest in rocks it only made sense to get a rock tumbler, and it only made sense to get the classic.After reading other reviews I can say the following: Yes, it makes some noise (clearly indicated in the instructions) but that is to be expected, it is no more noisy than the heat pump, water pump, dryer, or washing machine (I chose to place it in the laundry room); yes the rocks packaged with it are run-of-the mill rocks, who cares? I am not doing this to make fine jewelry, it is to foster my sons budding geological interests. Once we use up the stock rocks we will be using rocks found outdoors. Leaking? I have noticed a couple of drops of water here and there, no major setback. We haven't hit the end of the first rock cycle so I cannot speak to the end result, but as long as they are smoother and cleaner than when we put them in my son will be happy.Oh, and to anyone who complains about it taking a long time (~30 days)...that's kinda the point. The same lesson I teach when we plant vegetables in the spring (last spring my son, then 3, would sit beside the vegetable garden for extended periods of time to "watch the vegetables grow."). I fell it is very important to teach my boys about natural processes and that things worth having are worth waiting for.I recommend this product to anyone. | 45 stars

Perfect paper protection
This is the best paper storage system I have come across. I have tried many different storage methods. This is my favorite and I have used it for years. You can use the smaller boxes to divide your papers by brand or color. I use many of these together on a shelf. The small boxes do not stand up well on their own but it works it you stand them up between the larger boxes. Storing my papers vertically allows more storage with easier access and no more dog-eared papers. | 45 stars

Mother's day gift
I got this as a gift for my mom (74 yrs old) to replace an old broken Singer she has. I was going to get another Singer but the reviews were not that favorable. After looking around, settled on this model. I have to say, it is pretty good. The auto-threading feature is very nifty. The major complaint would be the bobbin winder...it doesn't seem to have the right tension and tangles too easily when winding. | 23 stars

I am on my 4th 50 ft cartridge of Xyron Permanent Adhesive
I use this adhesive in my Xyron Creative station for all of my big glueing projects. I love how quick and easy is is to use. Most recently I used it for assembling my Son's 100 wedding invitations. It is reliable and a very professional way to create a secure bond on your craft projects. I don't want to be without it. Amazon delivered a refill cartridge to me so quickly!! | 45 stars

Handy
A good solution for some of my older books I still use, but have weak binding. It will take some time to see how long it holds up, but so far it has. | 45 stars

it's about time
I have tried "everything" in order to lose weight. What I like about the Food Mover is that it is a lifestyle not diet. I began with the Food Mover on January 19, 2003. The first week I lost nine and one half pounds, the second week one and one half pounds and the third week two pounds, but more important it feels right. I believe another important key is being ready "emotionally/mentally" to begin a new lifestyle. The Food Mover is easy, self expanatory and flexible. | 45 stars

Geishas
I just finished stiching these Geishas in a little under 2 years. The colors are vibrant, about 50 of them, and some of the threads one has to mix to create even other hues. The finished result is a true beauty and something that will be treasured always. | 45 stars
|
It's a perfect gift for someone starting to sew
I bought it as a gift for someone who is starting to sew. She loved it and it's easy tokeep everything in one place. I would recomend it to anyone who wants to give it totheir granddaughter, niece etc. We need to bring back the basic's and spend time onlittle projects with family. It's the little things that make special memories withkids/grandkids who will remember when then get older. Our kids need quality time andhands on projects. :) | 45 stars

Army Patch
The Patch arrived ahead of schedule and properly packaged. It was as described and worked very well for my project. | 45 stars

Easy to Use
This makes cutting flying geese very easy. Can also be used for many other patterns.but I wish it had a non slip side. | 34 stars
|
Excellent for blending!
If you need some added oomph in blending your Prismas (whether markers or colored pencils - it works for both!) get this. It's fairly cheap and gives you nice minimal-streak smooth blending. With colored pencil it literally breaks it down to be liquid and it blends like a wet medium should. With ink it provides a clean transition between colors. I HAVE to have this! | 34 stars
|
Singer 7442 sewing machine
I bought this sewing machine for my teenage daughter. She loves the fact that, unlike my machine, this one is easy to thread. It has a lot of decorative stitches, many of which will probably never get used. So far it's done well on medium to light weight material. Have not tried heavier stuff, like denim or upholstery fabric. I would have given it five stars if it had come with a carrying case. As it is, it gets four. | 34 stars
|
So far so good...
Very easy to use. Sure helps with the softer metals. Two thin coats are easier to use than 1 thick coat. Only down side, it only comes in white now. | 34 stars
|
Clover Roving
This roving was much better than I expected. The product does not say what type of wool it is, so I cannot comment on that. However, it was very clean, easy to draft and spun up beautifully on my Golding drop spindle. I spun it at about DK weight and was very happy with the result. Although the package states that the color is off-white it is actually very white, so would take dye nicely too. | 45 stars

Make triangles easier!
These rulers make it easy to create difficult looking quilt blocks. The markings are clear and simple, easy to read. You will have accurately cut pieces using these rulers. | 45 stars

Fiskers 12-94227097 5=inch blunt softgrip scissors
These scissors have sharp blades and cut dog hair well.I use them to trim the hair that protrudes from between their foot-pads without fear of hurting my dogs. Now they don't track in as much mud from the back yard. These are small, but not a toy. They work smoothly. That said, I would have purchased the next larger size because my fingers are pretty wide. I think they are a good value. | 45 stars
|
Great color wheel
I was really impressed with the construction of this color wheel. Having owned a few in the past, I've seen how flimsy they can be. This wheel was constructed out of heavy card stock, the spindle turned well, and the colors were vibrant. | 45 stars
|
Hagerty's is excellent silver polish
I have used Hagerty's silver polish for years and think it is the best on the market. It takes a little more elbow grease than some of the other polishes but I think the polish lasts longer. | 45 stars

Great value!!
This little guy is SO handy! The price makes it very practical to put a kit in each vehicle and in different places in the house, so you are always prepared to fix a small wardrobe malfunction! The quality is also very good for the price. | 34 stars

Brother Sewing Machine review
This is an excellent machine for our purposes. Generally, it is used to hem pants or make small repairs. It works well for this. | 34 stars
|
These do what they are supposed to do.
And that often is not the case anymore, so I am pleased to find that these things work just like they did decades ago. You cut them to fit, iron them on, and they stay on.End of the matter. Good, dependable product and not overpriced. | 45 stars

Great fun!
My daughter received Blendy Pens for her 6th birthday. She has not stopped using them since. She is able to create neat effects by blending two markers easily. She has eagerly shared the pens with her 4 year old sister, who just loves the airbrush feature and the coloring pages. Besides the blending feature they seem to be great markers, plenty of ink even after coloring for long periods of time. I used the stencils to create pictures for them with the airbrush. They use the stencils with just the markers, as they don't seem to quite have the stamina to create an entire picture using the airbrush. It takes some practice and some hand strength to use the airbrush for an extended period. Great product! | 45 stars
|
Nice quality
My 5 year old niece loved this product. It comes in a nice wood box to hold all your supplies and the stamps are large and heavy. The color pencils are nice as well. | 45 stars
|
Disappointed with results
I purchased this dye to color some white baby onesies and tees. Even though the fabric I used was 100% cotton, it did not take the dye very well and the end result was a mottled appearance. It doesn't look terrible but it is not the look I was going for. Perhaps if I left them in the dye longer than instructed the color would have penetrated the fabric more evenly. I also purchased the royal blue dye at the same time, and the items dipped in the blue dye bath turned out beautifully. Everything else being equal, this leads me to believe that perhaps the darker colors of dye are easier to work with. | 23 stars

tiny little thing
I just got mine today. For the price I paid for it there are others much better. It's got MAYBE a 1/2 inch view area and the magnification is about 1/3 of what they claim. I like the 3 lens Carson I got today much better. However if you're looking for a very small decent power magnifier with a strong protector this isn't bad. the casing you see in the picture to hide the lens in is metal and pretty strong but, it's open on both sides so it's still not spectacular. | 01 star

The Ideal Sewing Machine!
I am a high school student and have been using my grandmother's 50 year old Singer for the past few years, mainly for sewing clothes. I finally decided to do some research on sewing machines, and this machine was the PERFECT choice! I based my 5-star rating on price, quality, and function. The price couldn't have been better, it is sturdy and of very high quality, and has all the features I could ever need as a novice/intermediate sewer. I am self-taught, and was unsure of how to operate a sewing machine that had modern capabilities such as an automatic button-hole! The instructions were very useful, and I haven't once come across a project that I can't accomplish with this machine in the 3 months that I have had it. I highly recommend it! | 45 stars

Great Watercolor Wood Box Set
This gift was for my mom for Xmas and I was surprised by how nice and bright and clean the watercolors were on the paper she was using. Nice looking wood box holds all of the Paint, brushes and misc items. This is a GREAT set for the beginning Artist who would like to try watercolors. | 45 stars

Best paper for photography!
I'm a photography student in art college, and this photo paper was recommend by multiple professors of mine. It's excellent - colors and tones are printed with perfection. I've never had a problem with it (yet). It's also considerably cheap - especially from Amazon; I have yet to find a cheaper price on this paper.I'd really suggest this to anyone - be it for family photos or christmas cards, or professional grade prints. | 45 stars

Basketball Flame Patch
The is the perfect size that I was looking for. Will be attached to my daughter's varsity jacket. She will love it. | 45 stars

Long Glass-head Pins, I Love Them
After seeing a video by a seamstress who uses these, I had to buy some and check out her claims. Yes, they are great! I'll never go back to the standard size pins. The extra length makes them a easy to manipulate when pinning cloth and pattern. This is a sewing aid I'm happy to not be "cheap" about. | 45 stars
|
Great purchase!
I love this machine! I had dithered around comparing different models before deciding on this. I read many great reviews on Amazon and also some negative ones, but I think after using this for a month, I haven't had any problems I couldn't solve. The instruction manual is really concise and clear. Some users complain that it is too light and the machine shifts, this problem can easily be fixed by placing a non slip mat, or i place part of my cutting mat under it.I'm super impressed with the computerized system after owning a simpler machine for years. I could run my fabric through the embroidery stitching without using my hands! and the 60 different stitches available is pure joy. I've started to learn free motion quilting after reading a tutorial online, and realising I had the free motion foot with this machine! replacing and switching foot was real easy, even though i had to unscrew some parts off, but it was pretty idiot proof.All in all, I am 100% pleased with my purchase and i look forward to making more crafts with it! | 45 stars

Nice colors, easy to work with

Juki TL-98Q
I really love this machine. I got it about three weeks ago and I was so pleasantly surprised by it's performance. Yes, it only does a straight stitch but it does a perfect, powerful, clean straight stitch unlike any machine I have used--- aside from an industrial Juki, which is just not practical in my apartment. I thought my old Singer was great (and it is, i must say) but this machine has not jammed once, it performs perfectly and I could not be happier with it!! I highly recommend this to anyone who sews a lot or who works in the fashion industry but just doesn't have room for an industrial at home!!! | 45 stars

Nice For the Price
I do miniatures in one-inch scale and these tweezers seem to be just the thing. I am particularly interested in the locking tweezers. The packaging was awful. I had to rip the cheap plastic case apart to get the tweezers out and it got tossed. The tweezers are not the highest quality, but for this price, they are a bargain and they'll last a good little while. If they last a year, I'll be more than pleased.Delivery was prompt with no troubles at all. I might not buy this particular set again, but I'd recommend it to someone who wants to explore the different kinds of tweezers before making a purchase of a more expensive, higher-quality pair of a specific kind.Overall, Happy with the purchase. | 34 stars

Holds up great. Took about 45 minutes to put together. Kids love it
Heard a giant bang as the delivery guy threw this down on our front porch. Thought for sure I would open the box to find it smashed to pieces or cracked wood. But everything was fine. No damage at all. Took about 45 minutes to put everything together. Used the allan wrench provided and my own socket set. Looks like some other people used an electric drill and cracked the wood so I stayed away from the power tools for this project. Seems very sturdy. Kids love doing crafts, coloring, etc. My mother (grandma 5'3, 125lbs) even sits in the chairs with no problem. | 45 stars
|
Toddler, 2, Male, Not Interested - But Durable
My son was 18 mos when I bought this, that was 6 months ago. He is not a fan. He likes to jump off of it more than sit on it. Every child is different though. It's still cute and quite durable. I'm sure it will still be in great condition when baby #2 (?) comes around. | 34 stars

Great Yarn!
Love this yarn and the color is so true and easy to work with. This yarn washes and wears well. | 45 stars

Junk
I'm in the coin business and buy a lot of scrap gold and silver. I thought this thing would stream-line my tried-and-true method of acid/scratch testing: It does not. I tried it multiple times to verify known standards (24k credit suise bar and 22k gold eagles) and it does not come back with the correct measurement consistently. Out of ten measurements and ten cleanings maybe it was close about 20% of the time. Most of the measurements came back low and that is unacceptable...unless your intention is to rip people off. Not accurate enough for me. I even measured some 14k samples and it came back 16k and 18k a few times...that's ok if you want to rip yourself off.Most of the vendors that I saw selling this unit WILL NOT accept it back for a refund if it has been used at all: How are you supposed to know if it works if you don't use it? My original unit was purchased from a vendor that also sells on the most popular of all auction sites (I still payed about the same for it). And, my unit's power switch broke off the second I took it out of the box. I contacted the seller and he didn't want anything to do with the busted unit and that any defects have to be resolved with the manufacturer. The manufacturer is in my same state of CA and they didn't get to fixing my unit until I called and yelled at them a little...after all I only had about five days left of the ten days to return the item for "credit" or an exchange. What a joke. The seller by the way was iGem, and I purchased the high-end GXL-24. I know this is a review for the GT-4000, but they all have the same testing electronics with in them. All of them are junk. | 01 star

Fiskars Softgrip Scissors
Just love these scissors. They were recommended by a well known Australian quiltmaker as an essential tool for cutting fine shapes. I couldnt find them anywhere in Australia and apparently they are not available here anymore so I bought them through Amazon along with Fiskar Rotary Cutter blades which are the best I have ever used too. | 45 stars

He's my review
I currently am borrowing this exact singer from a friend and I love it. It's a solid machine that has stood the test of time. My friend has had hers for 9 years. She has three kids and I have five and between us we have made everything from halloween coustumes to quilts. It's perfect for our needs. I likes hers so much that I am waiting for this model to go on sale so I can have my own. | 23 stars

Cont'e A Paris crayon sticks
Cont'e A Paris is a brand name. Some beginning artists like me might think one conte is like another. This brand drawing sticks and their other products are very nice to use. The other cheaper brands that are just too hard. I use these for life drawing on newsprint. The other brands hardly leave a mark on the newsprint. One tip I use is to gently-carefully sharpen one end to a dull point. It wastes some of the stick but you don't have the square tip to break in. | 45 stars
|
Not as described
I ordered this product for a school project, it was supposed to be a one-inch square. What I received was an irregular measurement of 11/16 of an inch. The punch itself works well but the project was made exponentially more difficult due to this error in description. I would be wary of purchasing from this seller again. | 12 stars

Help at last
After spending many frustrating hours trying to thread a regular sewing machine needle, I tried two sizes of the self-threading needles. Even though there were no instructions on how these actually work, I had the needle threaded in just a few seconds. You can't believe how nice it is to be able to change thread color again and sew to my heart's content. Thank you!!! | 45 stars

save your money
I did nothing but struggle with this machine. It was so fussy--it would break pretty much every time I used it. And there was no consistent problem. Sometimes it would freeze up, other times get jammed, other times chew up my fabric. Don't waste your time or money! | 01 star

Junk!
This machine is plastic junk that makes lots of noise. The pressor foot doesn't line up with the feed dog and you have to push the material through. The light is not worth being there. The start and stop switch is to hard to do and then try to reverse. I used it once and I felt it was going to break! I sounded like it was going to die and this was brand new right out of the box. If my full size machine was making noise like that I would take it to a repair shop. This is not worth buying! Don't waste your money! Buy something like a Viking. Pay the extra money and get your moneys worth that will last a life time.I bought it because I wanted to travel with a light weight machine that would sew anything and that is how it is advertised. It is a lie! I will still look for a light weight machine but I am going to try one out and see how it works and how it sounds before I buy it. | 01 star

Good Instructions, Great Machine for the money
After owning an nightmare Singer this machine is Heaven! I am pleased with the way it sews and threads. Have no problems with the ac power and I live in the US. It is quiter than the Singer I sold. Threads easier than the Singer did. And it was cheaper! Wow. You can't go wrong with this one. | 45 stars

Not Pink
Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy this product. For me, it has worked really well on a number of fabrics. BUT, when I order a pink blindly from their catalog, I expect it to be an actual pink. This "pink" is actually more of a fuchsia or maroon. I would expect their pink to be almost a baby pink or cotton candy pink, but this isn't. If you are looking for more of a baby pink, you are honestly going to have to buy the fluorescent pink and then add a bunch of white to it. | 12 stars

great case
My mom gave me her old Singer and I just wanted a nice case to store it in when not in use. This item fits the bill. Nicely made and good locking hinges. For the price, it can't be beat.Not sure why people are tripping out about the size, the dimensions are clearly listed in the details. Funny how people think they can assume size dimensions for a picture. In any case, probably too large for modern machines but just right for the older models. | 45 stars

GREAT when your hand can't do the work, these scissors can!
I have trouble using my right hand, and I do scrap booking, which you can imagine, I need to cut quite a bit. These make it much easier, saves time and pain. | 45 stars

Brother serger 1034D
I did allot of research on the type of serger I intended to add to my sewing room tools. I was looking for a 4 thread serger that would be both economical and efficient. The CD that accompanied the machine was wonderful. I took the machine out of the box and began serging. The instruction manual was right there beside me and easy to follow. Reading the directions is imperative.I ordered my Brother 1034D serger through Amazon.com. It arrived in less than 4 days.I am totally satisfied with my purchase! This is a great serger for the money!Now the doll clothes I sew looks completely professional! | 45 stars

This machine has tension problems need to use metal bobbins!
I was VERY unhappy with this machine and had worked for over two hours trying to get the stitch tension to work. I was informed by Bryan (Amazon customer service supervisor) that the review stated to use a "metal" bobbin, even though the machine comes with plastic bobbins! So I bought some metal bobbins and tried again - it worked just like the review said (LIKE MAJIC!!!)So ONLY use metal bobbins on this machine and don't trim the bobbin thread on the razor that is part of the machine - leave the thread be about 3-5 inches long. Also, the thread show go over the top of the bobbin even though the manual doesn't show that - then the bobbin tension is correct! | 45 stars

Nice product
The air brush that I received is the second I own of this model. It is easy to clean and does a great job air brushing.This is not a fine detail brush I use mine for painting models and it really does great. Good product and happy with purchase. | 45 stars

It works like paper should.
I appreciate that one side is a bit more matte and one is a bit more shiny, nice to have the option. I used it as a floor for a video shoot. I taped it down and it worked out well. Easy and affordable way to convert a gym floor to black. Seemed to be strong enough but you could cut it easy too. | 45 stars

Awesome product!
I've never used a dye that works as well as Jacquard acid dye did! The color came out so dark and just like the picture. Unfortunately, I was trying to get a duller purple and this dye completely blocked out the other color, but I can't blame the company for making a product that works TOO well! Will definitely purchase this dye again! | 45 stars

Easy to use
These are great for little hands to use. Sturdy enough to stay in place and stencil is large enough that kids don't get frustrated tracing the shapes. | 45 stars

Difficult
These were terrible. It took me several minutes just to figure out how they assembled, and by the time I finally got them together, they looked totally disheveled, lopsided, and the lid wouldn't even stay closed! Will be returning this item to the store from which I bought it and trying something else. | 01 star

Works Great for Product Photography!
After searching online for many type of white paper roll to use for product photography, I came upon this and purchased it. Pictures came out great! The price is much lower than other white background rolls. I highly recommend this if you plan to take still or product photos... for people photos I'm not sure because the paper is not thick/sturdy enough for larger group or people photos. | 45 stars

Good product, but give time to set
It says to wait about 20 minutes before application, but you really need about 45 minutes before you can iron it on. | 34 stars

Ok, not the greatest
This was my first serger and I was very excited to finally own one. I have used several brands which were much better, including a BabyLock and a Kenmore. I had a choice between the Simplicity SL390 and a Kenmore and chose this one. I liked the reviews on the Simplicity. Although, I can usually get the job done, I have been disappointed. I have had big problems with the right needle staying threaded although the thread does not actually break. It pulls out as I'm stitching without breaking. At this point, I have had to completely remove the right needle to make the serger work. Also, if you want to change threads or run out of one, you cannot "tie-on" the thread. All four threads have to be completely re-threaded every time or it won't work. I would not buy this machine if I had it to do over again. I would have spent the extra money and been done with it and saved myself the aggravation and frustration. My machine is only 5 months old and I'm already thinking about buying a different one. | 12 stars

Teacher rating!
I am a middle school teacher and use interactive notebooks with 75 sixth grade students! It was essential to our year to have a large glue stick at a good price. This was ideal! We started by ordering 30 and promptly will be ordering 20 more packs! Their notebooks have really stood up and stayed glued. With the help of this glue stick, the students have stayed organized and created an effective study tool! I'm very very pleased! | 45 stars

After tons of research
I am a beginner at sewing and am making cloth dolls and children's clothes (small scale stuff). Looking for a sewing machine was like learning a foreign language. I read all the reviews online including "how to" videos on YouTube. I am so happy with my machine! The ease in threading, dealing with the bobbin are nice but being able to adjust the speed has been the best. I bought another inexpensive Brothers beginner sewing machine to use while visiting my Mom that does not have this feature. Ughhh it's like a runaway car under my foot no matter how careful I am. Don't get me wrong, I love that machine as well but this one is a dream. It let's me know what presser foot to use for any particular stitch and the amount of stitching choices are amazing. The great price is only the beginning of this happy purchase. | 45 stars

Poor quality (x2)
I purchased one of these for my wife. When we unpacked it, we found the needle was not aligned to go into the slot on the base plate. Instead it would hit the plate itself. A call to Singer's support line confirmed that this is something that requires service and cannot be fixed by us. However, authorized dealers won't touch machines like this unless they sold it, or unless they have an arrangement to get paid by Singer for warranty work. So, we returned the machine for a replacement. Amazon was very good about getting the replacement sent to us, but the replacement had the same problem! Appears to be poor quality control at the Singer factory. We returned the second machine for a refund. | 01 star
