I like this set of stamps because it has a variety of stamps, but it is not exactly as durable or as nice as regular stamps. Since I only use the set once or twice a year, it is a fine set to have on hand.

These can be a little clunky, not in width, wish we could find really wide width cable needles, but they are clunky because they flip flop and make it a little harder to not flip your cable stitches. These are not a preferred cable needle, but will keep them as a backup to my rounded hook shape ones.

My instructor recommended this style of cable needle as opposed to the hook style (which seem to come in plastic vs metal). The slick surface has both advantages and drawbacks. It's easy to slip your cable stitches onto the needle, but they also easily fall off it. Similarly, the straight style is good for working with the stitches once they're on the needle, but I might try the hook variety to keep the stitches from sliding before I'm ready to knit them. I'm a new knitter, obviously, so maybe these are things you get more accustomed to with practice.

These are useful, not just for knitting cables, but also for picking up that dratted dropped stitch. A standard design that has worked well for decades.

Why give something a negative review when you clearly state that you didn't check out the measurements first before buying? That was your fault. Not the products. I have always kept moleskin journals and notebooks nearby. These (the volant Xsmallsee, it's in the title!) are perfect for me to keep in a pocket. That is what they are for.

Review of SINGER Futura CE-250 Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine

SINGER Futura CE-250 Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine with 2 Hoop Sizes, 100 Sitches, 120 Embroidery Designs, 5 Monogramming Fonts
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I purchased this machine because I wanted to learn to do machine embroidery and didn't want to spend a fortune. I think it is an excellent value. It seems very solid and sewed beautifully with no adjustments straight out of the box. There are sensors in the thread path that are very sensitive and incorrectly report broken thread quite often. As soon as I got the hang of flossing the thread into the sensors this became less of a problem. There are several yahoo groups dedicated to machine embroidery and the nice people there were of great assistance to me as I got started.

Folks like me who are new to machine embroidery should understand that the sewing machine must be physically attached to a computer while you are embroidering. The soft ware running the computer sends the information to the sewing machine one color at a time so don't think that you can download the design and then sew it out later. You are going to need a computer to run the embroidery feature of this machine. I'm using an old computer that was discarded at my office because it was too slow to run large office programs over a network. I took all the other software off and it runs the Future software just fine. If you are going to need to acquire a computer to run your embroidery machine you should consider that cost along with the price of the Futura.

Thread is the paint of embroidery and since it is different than regular thread you are also going to have to make an investment in thread to get started. The price of a spool can vary greatly but if you buy a bunch at one time it can be pricy so think about this to when deciding to make the plunge into machine embroidery.

The difference between the Futura 250 and the Futura 350 is the software. If you plan to create your own embroidery designs you should know that only the basic software comes with the 250 but you can purchase the full software separately. Making clip art into machine embroidery is much more difficult than I first thought and to run the Futura software the sewing machine must be connected to the computer even if you are just working on the design and not doing the actual sewing. There are other software packages that do not have this requirement. You could use them to make the art into embroidery files but you will still need to be connected to your Futura to stitch them out.

I am extremely happy with this product and would recommend it to other people like me who just want to have some fun and spice up their craft and sewing projects. If you are looking to do embroidery professionally then purchase a higher priced and faster machine.

My wife and I needed an embroidery machine to create some work for one of our clients. Not wanting to spend a whole lot of money as the embroidery part of the machine would not be used on a regular basis I read the reviews here for the CE-250 and we decided to purchase one.

Considering the 5-1 favorable review report here I must say I was completely fooled. The original 1 star report is right on the money with regards to this machine. The CE-250 requires an immense amount of patience and time. The machine constantly breaks its thread, not only in embroidery mode, but in standard sewing mode as well. I am beginning to hear the "beep beep" of the E-1 warning in my sleep (we do a lot of personal sewing as well). We followed the instructions to a T on set up and threading the machine but still phoned Singer tech support to check on the user error possibility when the E-1 Warning kept continually popping up. The young lady who answered our call was quite nice and assured us we had correctly set up the machine but she did add the following: "slide the thread back and forth through the machine as you are threading it to make sure the sensors read the thread." We followed her advice and are still wasting as much thread as we are sewing.

The trump card for me comes when you attempt a embroidery stitch that has more density than the default pattern, the default pattern being rather loose and requiring a lot of hand stitching to fill holes. When you drop the density below the default "4" setting the machine gets caught on the bobbin thread density and will cause the fabric to get caught in the foot thus tearing the fabric. (yes the foot is in the down setting for embroidery). Because of the work we need to do we have had to plod through this but the amount of fabric that has been ruined, along with the time and effort, has far eclipsed any money we my have saved buying this rudimentary machine.

If you want some nice embroidery spend the money and get a better machine. If you want a really expensive sewing machine that has some cool attachments for show, buy this one.

I bought this machine Christmas of last year. I must admit i was a bit intimidated by it at first. Once i took the machine out of the box and saw all the parts and looked at the DVD I then put everything back in the box and waited for a good 3 weeks to open the box again. I was determined not to let a machine intimidate me, so I took everything out and followed the instructions. I did get the error message at first about the threading, but because i had read the instructions and viewed the DVD I knew that i was not threading the machine correctly why blame a machine for human error. So I took it upon myself to learn how to thread the machine correctly and once I had accomplished that task, I had no problems with the machine doing embroidery or sewing. This machine does nice embrodiery work, but you have to experiment with it to find out what the machine can do and what you need to do to to get the machine to do it. So, I bought some cheap cloth on sale and went about practicing the stitches and the embroidery appliques. And the lessons I learned from doing that saved me a bundle on material that I would have otherwise ruined and the frustration i would have felt in doing so.

So, bottom line is that I would recommnend this machine. You must take the time to understand how this machine works and read the instructions and review the DVD (also going online to websites and reading the Q&A's about this machine will also help you. And, it is not about how computer savy or how long you have been sewing if you are not following the directions for this particular machine none of that is going to help you.

Honest reviews on SINGER Futura CE-250 Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine

when i bought this machine i had never used a sewing machine before in my life. I had never even sewn by hand. i really had no clue what i was doing. i just followed the directions on how to thread it and within a few days i had it figured out. the embroidery and sewing was a breeze. i have gotten the annoying "broken thread" error plenty myself but i have found that if you just change the way you thread it you can find a way it works flawlessly. when i get the error i move the spool onto the vertical spool holder and try guiding it through the thread guide and that will work. so yeah sometimes it takes a second to get it running perfectly but once the thread it fine the machine works great. i realize i have no basis of comparison but for someone who has never sewn before to figure it all out this fast i feel i can let you all know that it isnt complicated or difficult to use at all. the software is great, my embroideries come out beautifully and i am so happy i bought it.

I was a life-long Singer customer since 1975. I purchased the CE=250 in January and have yet to embroider one project successfully. The machine sews beautifully but the quilting and embroidery features do not function properly. Constant jamming, birdnesting and needle breakage. The bobbin case continues to jump causing constant problems. My machine has been in the shop 4 times. The Customer Service Dept. in TN was absolutely horrible! They do not honor the warranty and make up the rules as they go along.

If you must buy this machine, which I'm highly against, make sure you live near a warranty center. Tennessee will not pay to ship nor will they insure when they send it back. Do not expect any pity when you call with your first problem. Do expect your sewing skills to be called into question.

I've been scrapbooking for about ten years now; occasionally I branch out into other crafts like cardmaking, decoupage, and sewing. These markers have served me so well over the past 5 years! My only complaint about the pens is that a few of them really don't match the color of the marker's cap at all. Like the lavender one that is actually a really dark plum color. Never did figure that out! But I love using them in my scrapbooking and the colors are very versatile.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I have wanted these zig markers for over 2 years but always stopped short of buying them because of the price. The 48 pack is much more expensive in stores (I've seen them for 100+ dollars..).

I am so glad that I bought the set. I have found use for them every day for 3 weeks... whether it be writing in a homemade card, grading essays, scrapbooking, noting in my planner... these markers are inspiring me to do things that I have put off doing for years. I think if you are considering purchasing them then you should go ahead and do it -you won't be sorry!

With these pens and a little skill and patience I've been able to mimic how artwork made with colored pencils look as well as watercolor paintings. These pens blend very nicely which is a plus but can also be problematic. Because of their ability to blend they will pull ink along with your pen stroke, which means that if you have outlined a drawing with a black micron pen as I have done that these pens will blend/smear those lines. Even after the black lines have dried they will still smear if you aren't careful when using these. I'm guessing that all water-based pigment inks will do this, just something to keep in mind.

These pens are also very nice quality. First of all they are Archival & Lightfast. This is important, you might not think about it at first but I've used other pens with great colors of a different brand that started to fade from light within two months and then your artwork is pretty much hosed. They say they are Waterproof but that really means that they water-resistant. You can easily smear the ink with water, or saliva if you are so inclined, which can be used in artistic ways so don't automatically discount them for that. Acid-free is always a must or you'll start seeing weird things happening in your artwork eventually. Non-bleeding is also claimed but that really depends on the type of paper you are using, BUT, if you hold one of these against a sheet of paper it will not create a puddle of ink on the paper around the tip of the pen and that's probably what they are talking about here. You might be surprised at how many pens will do that, even some that are suppose to be used for super fine lines. I made a couple of lightfast test sheets using the zig ink (from a different set of pens) and found that if you use them on cotton they might bleed a tiny tiny bit, watercolor they don't bleed at all, and on normal archival sketchbook paper they are great. I have not had any issues of them bleeding through paper either & I have practically soaked my sketchbook paper with color when blending and mixing colors, so overall the Non-Bleeding is pretty accurate.

The colors are fantastic. 48 colors is more than enough to get practically any color you need either by a pen being that color to start with or by blending a few of the colors on paper. The two sides with two different sizes of nibs are pretty much amazing. .5mm on one side and 1.2mm on the other great for fine lines as well as being able to fill in large areas quickly with color! I love the colors but some of the caps that represent what the colors are suppose to look like are misleading. The ones that stuck out the most when I did a color test on my archival sketchbook paper (I mention the type of paper used because other paper might yield slightly different results from the teeth in the paper or how much the paper soaks up the ink) are:

Pure Pink comes out looking significantly darker than the cap and looks pretty close to a color between the Pure Pink and Fuchsia.

The Wheat & Apricot are VERY similar, it's like the same color but with slight tints of orange & tan.

Pure Red comes out a bit darker than the cap, but is acceptable.

Antique Burgundy comes out darker while the cap looks closer to how Spice comes out.

Baby Blue is a little lighter than the cap.

Salmon is considerably darker/redder than the cap color.

English Lavender comes out darker.

Kiwi is a bit darker while the cap looks kinda neon.

Pure Blue comes out a very nice dark blue, the cap however has some purple coloring in it, so the ink is accurate but the cap color is NOT a Pure Blue.

Denim comes out lighter.

Splash comes out darker.

Navy comes out slightly lighter, the cap is very dark.

Pure Green doesn't look anything like the cap when it comes out other than being a green color, the cap color is a good color for a Pure Green but the color that comes out is more of a blueish grass green.

Pure Violet comes out quite dark compared to the cap.

Platinum is a nice grey but comes out darker than the cap.

Steel Grey is the color you would imagine for that color but the cap is considerably bluer.

Overall the color differences don't really bother me much, you just have to know what they will come out looking like and work with it.

These markers/pens are by far the best I have used.

******************************************************

Edit I just took a closer look at the colors shown on the back of the container (I added a customer photo of the back of the container just FYI). If you assume that those colors are accurate you're going to be a sad camper. I think those are even more inaccurate than the color test I made comparing the caps to the actual colors. Here's the list of those that jump out at me:

Pure Pink, again, this time it looks like it's suppose to be a pink bubble gum color. The color square for Pure Pink is closer to the color that Salmon turned out to be.

Pure Green, same issue as with the cap color looking great this color square looks great, but the actual ink color is nowhere near that color.

Pure Brown is actually redder than the color square.

Pure Orange is practically a neon orange so this color square is nowhere near the right color. Closer to what Apricot turns out to be.

Pure Violet is darker than the color square.

Salmon... I don't think the actual color matches either the cap or the color square. This ink turns out to be missing all of the orange color that makes salmon a salmon color. The actual ink is much closer to looking like the Pure Pink color square.

Baby Pink is much much lighter than the color square.

English Lavender is much more of a plum color than the color square.

Evergreen, that color square should have gone with Hunter Green.

Spring Green is yellower than the color square.

Island Coral. Nope. Ink is the color of the Salmon color square.

Candy Pink is practically a neon pink color, brighter & lighter than the color square.

Clover is much lighter than that.

Summer Sun has more orange in it than the color square.

Peach Bliss is actually more of a light pinkish color and not so much a pale orange like the color square.

Orchid is close but not quite right, more purple in the ink or something.

Fawn isn't quite that orange.

Fuchsia is a little lighter than the color square.

Rose is pinker than the color square.

Coffee has a bit more orange in it than the color square.

Each pen has a fine tip and a broad tip very useful and fun!

The pens are of good quality no fading, no smearing, no "bleeding" and the ink is waterproof.

Color-coordinated pens were used to address Save the Date cards and wedding invitations with no worries of the envelopes arriving at their destinations in anything but perfect condition at least as far as the ink was concerned!

The right product showed up when it was supposed to. The only issue I had was the packaging. It was sent in a yellow envelope with a thin layer of bubble wrap. No handle with care sticker or anything. When I opened the case the pencils were all scattered. Prisma colored pencils cannot be bounced around like that without the lead breaking all through out the pencil. A little extra padding would go a long way.

The beauty of these pens is that when you dampen or wet the paper, the line spreads out into beautiful color.

Water color artists use them this way.

I emailed Speedball several times asking if the pen is archival and lightfast. There was no response.

Finally, I asked tech support at one of the stores and was told that the ink is acid free, but is dye based so

the color will fade in time.

This is unfortunate, because the the qualities of the pen are unique to markers, although there are crayons and

pencils that react with water.

Honest reviews on Speedball Elegant Writer 6 Fine Calligraphy Markers Set, Assorted

I always keep a set of calligraphy pens around for note cards and addressing envelopes for personal mail. The first thing I noticed about these Elegant Writers is that the caps do not uniformly fit well. Some are so defective as to easily knock off sitting in your pencil/pen cup. Then I noticed the real problem. These pens feel so light that I wondered how they could have any ink in them? Now I believe there is barely any! I had placed the set along with the Staedtler duo calligraphy pens I had gotten in a large pencil holder cup. The tops kept knocking off the Elegant Writers and the first day, two went dry! Then I was working on a project using another Elegant Writer. I set the pen down because I was alternating pens and paint. When I picked it up within minutes, it had gone dry! I have barely had this set a week and three quarters of them are dry! Finally, and the reason I am taking time to write, one went dry as I paused with it in my hand!!!

I have never written a product review before but this product was a waste of money!

IN A NUTSHELL: 1) Caps don't stay on

2) They arrive with barely any ink in them

3) They go dry within minutes when uncapped (even mid project holding it in your hand!).
