Reviews of Moda Sweet Serenade Charm Pack, Set of 42 5-inch (12.7cm) Precut
I have numerous lines of Basic Grey for Paper Crafting. My all time favorite Paper Crafting Company is Basic Grey!! I wanted the fabrics to make matching flowers using the Clover YoYo Maker & Kanzashi Templates. There are some doubles in this Pack. I would advise buying doubles if you have to have matching YoYo flowers. For 2 inch Kanzashi templates one can make four petals from one square. Matches colors well with Serenade Papers. Colors are just a little darker on my screen.

I purchased this product to use to do some detailing work on my scrapbooks. I mainly used it to form borders around my pictures and did some detail work on the borders of the pages. For the most part they worked really great and I was very satisfied. A couple of the scissors didn't cut as well as the others. But overall, I was very happy with the purchase and they add a nice touch to my scrapbooks!

I wanted just a little pan of watercolors in neon colors for doodling and after coming up with nothing at the local craft stores, I just went ahead and ordered these. The watercolors are okay (they are truly kids' watercolorsnot a great consistency, not very blendable, etc.) but I'm shocked at how little there are of them! It's like someone just painted a thin coating of watercolor at the bottom of each little pan. I guess I'm used to the Crayola watercolors (still one of the best on the market!) because they actually give you a nice little brick of watercolor in each pan.

Best June Tailor june tailor sew-in colorfast fabric sheets for inkjet Deals
Printed indoor pictures from this pack looked a little undersaturated when compared to the three pack, but it is well worth the price.
1) The fabric is very tough/rough. It is difficult to manipulate and leaves holes where your needle has been.
2) The ink can scratch off a bit.
If you want to print something that can be washed and the texture of the fabric isn't that important to you, I recommend this product. As I said, I've tried quite a few different products and this one is the best in terms of print quality and washability.

This stuff is great--and it really really works! Print any image from a word document onto the sheets of backed fabric. Just manipulate your images on your computer until you have the desired layout and design, print out a trial on a piece of paper and then load into your inkjet printer with the fabric sheets and hit print. Very high quality results. I did not have any problems getting my printer (Canon MP210) to take the sheets, there was absolutely no jamming or slippage. Once your sheet has been printed, carefully peel off the backing and then you are ready sew or other wise use your fabric. The fabric is treated cotton in a pretty fine and smooth weave so it doesn't interfere with images (at least not any of the many that I generated). The resulting fabric is a little stiffer than plain cotton cloth but not by much. Its definitely on the same order of thickness/stiffness as some of the commercially available quilting fabrics so there is no problem integrating your fabric that you design and print out with other fabric that you may want to use in some larger project. I used this product a couple of years ago and there has been no fading or any other damage or wear. The only thing you have to be aware of: don't get this stuff wet! Don't plan on making a washable quilt or shirt or anything else. Ink from an ink jet printer runs and smears on paper when it gets wet and you will have similar unpleasant effects with this fabric.Best Deals for June Tailor june tailor sew-in colorfast fabric sheets for inkjet
This is definitely one of the better printer fabrics out there when it comes to print quality and washability. I have tried quite a few different fabrics and this one is the only one that is washable and has the crispest prints. There are two problems that I have encountered with this fabric.1) The fabric is very tough/rough. It is difficult to manipulate and leaves holes where your needle has been.
2) The ink can scratch off a bit.

The sheets are easy to work with. The paper backing peels easily from the fabric. I made a quilt with them and the colorfastness remains to be seen. Otherwise, great delivery time.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for June Tailor june tailor sew-in colorfast fabric sheets for inkjet
I have purchased two 25 packs of this fabric. I have not had the oportunity to try it. I hope i wont be disappointed. I do however find the price reasonable compared to other places i have looked. I have used iron on transfer and it is easily damaged. I wanted something that won't scratch and that could be washed. I hope to some day learn how to make a quilt and i hope these will be good for that.Monday, October 13, 2014

Darice FLT-0498 Felties Sticky Stiff Felt Sheets, 1mm, Bright Colors Review
The product has worked out well for "upcycling" old jewelry box interiors. There are many uses for this self sticking felt.We needed felt to stick on the bottom of stuff so that it wouldn't scratch our tables. These work great. My wife and I selebrated our 9th wedding anniversary (pottery) my going to a local pottery shop and painting some pre-made bisque items. My wife made the cutest little piggy bank and I made a cute little Snoopy sleeping on top of his dog house. After these items were fired, we brought them home and I used these felties to stick on the bottom of the pottery items. I trimmed the edges and it works perfect! Now I keep M&Ms in my Snoopy Dog House for when we have guests over. And, it will never scratch our table!

Discount Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size
I really like these. The 4" length is more comfortable to me than longer needles but I'm sure that's not true for everyone. I like that they start with a size 2 needle where most interchangables start with a size 4. They do hang a little on the join sometimes but not so bad that it's a problem to me. I know some people complain of them coming unscrewed while working with them but I have been using them for about a year now and have never had one come unscrewed while I was using it. The cables are very thin and practically kink free.
I only gave 4 stars because of the lack of accessories. I wish they had a way to join 2 or more cables and also some sort of stop that could be screwed on the ends to keep the stitches from falling off if you remove the needles to use on another project and want to use the cable as a stitch holder.
Overall these are my favorite interchangables and I would recommend them to anyone that knits. Great price and the smaller sizes that I prefer in a nice little fabric case that is easy to stick in my knitting bag to take with me.
Pointy circular needles are my favorite for most projects and the HiyaHiya sharps did not disappoint. The cables are thin and flexible and they swivel, which is uncommom. This means minimal kinking. Magic loop is a breeze. I hand tighten and they do not come apart, but they come with rubber grips if you need them. The set starts with size 2 needles(other sets start with size 4) thru size 8. It comes with 4 cables, but the 16 inch cable does not work well with the 5 inch tips. So I have bought a few additional 4 inch tips to use with the 16 inch cable.
The fabric case is well made but closes with a funky bow tie which I have removed and replaced with a gold button. I liked this set so much, I purchased an additional set in bamboo. The price, compared to other brands, is very reasonable.
If you are new to knitting or a veteran knitter, I highly recommend a HiyaHiya Interchangeable set.

I have been knitting for many years with many types of needles including at least 4 sets of interchangeable circulars but when HiyaHiya came out with a set with swivel joins, I had to try them out to see if I was missing something. I purchased a set of the interchangeable 5" sharp circulars (they come in 4 inch too). After 3 months of using them all I can say is "WOW".Pointy circular needles are my favorite for most projects and the HiyaHiya sharps did not disappoint.

Best Deals for Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size
I am fairly new to knitting, just over 2 years, but I did not own many circulars and really did not want to buy several individual lengths and sizes so I began researching interchangeable sets. I am lucky enough to be near a local yarn shop and was able to play with this set as well as the hiya sharps before I had to decide. I think the sharps would be great if you are a tight knitter, but since I use my finger to push stitches off, after a row or two my finger was pretty sore, and I do not knit tightly so I do not really need the sharp points. I am currently working on a sweater and despite a large # of stitches I have not needed to tighten the joins. Just use the included rubber grips to tighten or loosen the cable and you should be set. Also, the needles have a swivel which is pretty neat and keeps the cables from getting twisted. Anyways, so far I really enjoy these needles, they slide really well no matter what type of yarn I have used. I will probably get the larger set eventually, so if you are still thinking about these needles, get them and enjoy! :)Honest reviews on Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size
Got this set for myself and I love it. As long as you use the grips included to tighten the needles, you shouldn't have to worry about them coming loose while you knit. The case is gorgeous and wonderfully helpful. The cords are flexible and the points are sharp enough. (If you like sharper points, I would advise the Hiya Hiya Sharps set.) All in all, I'm happy with this set.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size
These are super! I love the swivel feature and they knit about as smoothly as my Addi Clicks. I have never had them come apart like the Addi interchangeables, and the cable doesn't kink! I even love the case! I will be ordering the other sized set, as well as the adapters.Wednesday, August 20, 2014

The embossing folders are great, either just as an embossed embellishment or inked. Depending on the side you ink it on, you'll get a different effect and either way, the project will look very cool. The embossing folders work very well with my Fiskars Fuse (I have the adapter set) when I sandwich it with my base plate, Shim B, the folder, the rubber cutting mat and the cutting plate. They rinse fairly cleanly as well when working with inks such as Color Box chalk and pigment inks--a little touch of soap is sometimes needed to help get the color off, but usually they'll rinse clean and be ready to use again.Tuesday, August 12, 2014

Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $39.60
Sale Price: $26.60
Today's Bonus: 33% Off

I've been using OptiVisors for over 20 years, and I do remember when they were a quality product. The visor is secured to the adjustable head band by two plastic nuts on either side on the band. Unfortunately, one of those two nuts was defective and frequently fell out, causing the visor to slip down and hit my nose. I finally went to the local hardware store and found a couple of plastic pieces, which are now keeping it in place. The lenses, which are a very high quality, are held in place with plastic pins with a knob on the end.) The plastic didn't held the lens in place, so I did replace the plastic dowels with a couple of small nuts and bolts. Now the OptiVisor functions perfectly.
Do I recommend this product? Yes. The quality of the lens is superb. If you buy it and have the problems with it that I have, know you can get the fix-it parts at your local hardware store.

This unit was instantly relevant. The unit is sturdy. The headband adjusts easily with the two knobs on each side. The lens clarity is excellent and the level of magnification and focal length ideal for what I need. The 10" focal length is important because I need to be able to see clearly while working on a circuit with tools. Any shorter and the front of the lens would interfere with the work at hand.
This US made unit is robust, comfortable, optically excellent and easy to use.
