These high quality scissors are an excellent embroidery tool. They allow you to get in close to the design to cut loose thread. I also find that the 4-inch blade is the perfect length for this task. I paid a super price and received excellent service.

I ordered these scissors a little over a month ago and am very happy with them. I would recommend them to anyone who does a lot of sewing or embroidery work. They really make trimming up your embroidery work in those tight spots a breaze.

these scissors have a nice, sturdy, heavy feel to them that I really like. They cut smoothly and don't wobble or feel like they're going to fall apart. That said, I wish I'd gotten straight embroidery scissors. I thought these would be handy for trimming seams and getting into tight spots, but I find that they just have me cutting more often and leaving what looks like bite marks where I'm trimming.

I consider this a limitation of my choice and not of the product, so I still gave it 4 stars

Honest reviews on Gingher 01-005273 Curved Embroidery Scissors, 4-Inch

Pros -

Very sharp and cut very tight.

Cons -

Don't expect too much on the cover that came with. My other Gingher has a nice plastic cover, this one is a little leather tip cover only. :(

These scissors are just what the doctor ordered if you are a machine quilter. The strings that show on the back of the quilt are easy to remove with this type of scissors.

Great for Quilters.

Barn Wood is a medium gray with a tan hue (not a true gray) Barn Wood saves me mixing, I can use it right out of the bottle. Amazon also had other acrylic colors I needed and delivery was quick.

I have purchased this punch and the Feathered Friends punch... I am having so much fun with the paper art I am creating. Using glittery paper gives the ivy a more elegant look. On matte paper, it is a great way to create accents for around photos. I love how much less room the punch takes up. I use several brands of punches and am happiest with Fiskars.

The design is really nice when punched.

This punch mixed with some of the flower punches, makes a very nice addition to crafts.

The piece is heavy enough to make me think that it will last

a good long time.

I recommend this product, and will buy more like it.

It's worth the money.

As an recent convert to encaustic painting, these oil sticks offer an incredible and easy way to sketch color onto a work. I have also worked using a pallatte knife. Colors are wonderfully saturated, the opaques are rich, the translucent colors are rich and vibrant. I have also used these oil sticks in some of my multi media work. They create an interesting spread when used on transfer paper (which I transfer on to paper, and cannot vouch as to how they work on fabric or other media). I bought the two sets Opaque and Translucent simply to test them. I'm hooked. I will continue to buy the colors I work with.

Best 12 Inch Circular Bamboo Knitting Needles StitchBerry® Brand Premium Deals

List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $19.99
Today's Bonus: 67% Off

I'm very thrilled with these needles. I have found (until I found this product on amazon) that it is almost impossible to buy very short circular knitting needles. I hate to use double points, so I usually knit hats, sleeves, etc. on super shorties. And I needed them in all needle sizes. This product fits the bill, and the price amazed me. Very happy.

I was really surprised at the quality of these bamboo needles. Although 12 inches seems like a lot, when working in a circle it can get kind of tight. I've found the "cable" to be flexible and easy to manage. A great deal. I'll be looking for the 16 inch set next. The only draw back so far is that the needles are a little rough. Not so much that the yarn snags, but it's not very slippery. Hopefully with some use they'll develop a nice patina. For the price I'm not complaining!

Best Deals for 12 Inch Circular Bamboo Knitting Needles StitchBerry® Brand Premium

I love these. They don't make any clacking noise, they are smooth without being too slippery, and are just the right length to make things like leg warmers without stretching the item.

My only concern is how long the flexible plastic tubing will last. They kink right where they are connected to the bamboo needles while you are using them because they are fairly short, but they show no signs of cracking so far with hours of use.

I like these so much I'm hoping that if/when the first one splits I can get replacement tubing.

Later on May 27: They are still going strong with regular daily use.

Again on September 27, 2013 Still hanging in there. I have knitted on a regular basis, with no problems yet. I'm pleased.

Honest reviews on 12 Inch Circular Bamboo Knitting Needles StitchBerry® Brand Premium

Look very carefully at the photo on the website as that is the item you will receive.

I purchased this item to knit legwarmers, sleeves, and tube socks.

Pros:

The set of 14 needles arrive in a resealable plastic pouch for storing them when not in use. There is a warranty provided by the manufacturer which requires your order number and registration at the manufacturer's website. The cables are good, well-secured to the needles, and there are no bumps or rough edges. The needles are very smoothly tapered bamboo, lightweight and the branded needle sizes are suitably dark making them easy to read.

Con:

The length of the needles are too long to utilize these circulars as they are intended to knit in the round. The needle length also prevents the use of these needles as replacement straight needles; it is too difficult to turn the work and knit stitches without snapping the needle points.

Imagine a circle, such as, the lid of a mayonnaise jar... the needle length must allow you to complete the circle by becoming part of the arc. A larger circle would have a larger arc, so the needles can be longer. A smaller circle would necessitate a smaller needle length. The length of the needle is crucial because it is inflexible and does not bend.

I have every set of circular needle lengths available, including the 9". The 9" have needles which are 1" long and have a metal tang which adds 1/2" allotting 1 1/2" in a 9" circle. The tang on the 9" needles are also bent to help complete the curve of a circle. On a 16" circular, the needle is 3 1/2".

A 12" circular should have a needle length somewhere in between those two sizes, i. e., 1 1/2" to 3 1/2".

The needles on this set of 12" circulars is 4"!

It is aggravating to purchase something which is the wrong size, or does not fit, but to buy an item which is completely unusable has me steaming.

Instead of returning the needles, which would be a hassle, I'm considering cutting their length with a hacksaw and purchasing tubing to make up the difference. Have to decide if it is worth my effort.

These needles are just not long enough for me to be able to use comfortably. 14 inch needles maybe but not 12 inch. I mainly ordered them to get a 7mm needle as it is extremely hard to come by especially in a bamboo needle. I would not order them again.

Reviews of C-Thru Ruler Company French Curve Set

Customer Ratings:

I bought this set of rulers for dressmaking, because at the time I was having trouble finding a real french curve dressmaker's ruler. I found no use for the 2 smaller pieces in this set; I've used the large one for drawing armhole curves and smaller things like that. Unfortunately it doesn't have a curve large enough to be really useful. This would probably be great for making newborn or doll clothes though!

product is very helpful to get the necessary curves. It might be improved by having a clear edge rather than the angle.

This item is great, but it comes loose in the plastic like loose leaf paper would, except loose leaf paper is sturdier because of the quantity. The manufacturer should have packaged with a sheet of cardboard backing in the plastic, or the item should be shipped with it outside of the item when packaged for shipping. This comes slightly damaged because of this, and could have come a lot worse. It is a necessary item for copic markers, so the item is great, size was great, but the fact that it comes damaged deters me from buying online.

Royal & Langnickel Painting by Numbers Junior Small 3-Piece Art Review

Customer Ratings:

Royal and Langnickel are not like the pictures at all. The colors provided in the set are not true to the original and the blending is even worse. They are not real looking and nothing like the picture shows. Some of the paints are so thin you have to glob it on and it still won't cover the numbers. Every royal Langnickel painting we have done we have strongly disliked the outcome. I will never buy this brand name again. I recommend Paint works by dimensions or Plaid which are much nicer kits and very true to the picture.
