I bought this mainly for cleaning my counter top or table when my husband spill some sugar or coffee. It does served it's purpose. The bristle is soft and very thick. I like it more if the bristle is a bit longer and not sooo thick. Other than than this is good.

Great way to do underpainting when using pastels. Easy to apply, less dust beautiful color

I had heard about the pan pastels, but never used them or saw them used. I discovered that they are easy to use, and the pastels are in clear containers that protect them, yet you can easily see the color at a glance. They are easily to use and the pastel stays long, without too much dust. You can tone an area quickly and then go over with more detail.

I like some of the colors a lot, others seem a bit less pigmented and more transparent. I use these with an art class, they seem to enjoy the colors. The plastic containers mean that they don't dry out as quickly tubes.

This is a must-have item for someone who owns the Carl rotary trimmer. The blades are easy to change out and cut with precision. I use the various shapes for scrapbooking. I keep my trimmer handy and use it to cut borders and frames and to trim photos. I love the look of the different shapes on my pages. I highly recommend this product from Amazon.com who had the best price.

Not quite what I was expecting. These all make very small shapes, and need much pressure to do so. It is still a nice look, but I don't use them often.

The blades function as they should, take only a few moments to interchange, and create really nice edges to my projects and letters. SO much better than using edging scissors!!

Best Deals for Cavallini 12-Pack Petite Vintage Owls Parcel Set

I actually saw this in a different catalog before ordering it here. While I love the graphics as I most often do with Cavallini products the actual items are a bit of a let-down in terms of quality and execution.

First, the actual paper bags are extremely thin. One must take great care not to rip them, I should think, and I found it personally rather stupid that someone had come up with the idea to clip the paper bags together with a standard paper clip (completely unnecessary, in my opinion, and these leave noticeable indentations in at least the first 3 bags).

My second frustration is with the gift tags which, while very nice and made of good quality cardstock, have poorly applied glitter which basically snows all over you almost as soon as you open the package, and comes off all over your hands anytime you handle the tags, begging the question whether any glitter will be left if/when they are to be used for a gift-giving occasion.

The presentation overall is quite nice, and because I do enjoy the images and have various projects in mind for this, I will be keeping them but I would caution any potential buyers that this is not necessarily a value-for-money product, as you may be better off making your own paperbags from good quality scrapbooking paper or cardstock.

11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit Review

11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
This set is great, it has the most commonly used feet, such as buttonhole, button foot, narrow hem foot, zipper foot, a low shank adapter, a quilt guide, a seam ripper,blind stitch foot, among others, but after I bought it here on Amazon from this seller, i went to Ebay and saw this same set a little cheaper and with the addition of the cording foot,which is not on this set, but overall this set is a good buy for the price and it is compatible with most snap on style sewing machine feet, and if not it comes with the adaptor, overall recommended!!!

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I was confused by this product at first, as it is not fully clear what each part is and it was not fully clear how to attach the adaptor which was necessary for use of these parts with my Singer 7025 Deluxe Machine. Fortunately I am persistent and figured it out but it took time. The value here is great, the quality is very good but it would be nice if each part was identified and some explanation went with the adaptor...No written material came with this order at all. Now that I have the adaptor on I am ready to get to my sewing project but I am still not sure what some of the other parts can be used for.

Best Deals for 11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit

This set came well wrapped though after quite a wait (considering how much is charged for shipping and handling). HOWEVER it is exactly what I was looking for, the adapter is perfect because I have quite an old Singer. I just wish there was some info about all the feet uses and how to use the adapter. I luckily found this site that helped me work out how to use the adapter, Still not sure what all the feet are for and not clear on which one is the zipper foot..... But will work it out I am sure.

Honest reviews on 11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit

I was looking for a zipper foot and an edge guide for my Singer Simple (model 3116). This package appeared to have those and other feet for a fraction of purchasing each separately plus a nice random few others besides.

The collection of feet is great! There's the zipper foot, edge guide, a blindstich foot, a rolled hem foot, a 1/4" edge foot along with the buttonhole foot, a second zig-zag "standard" foot and the remaining feet I *think* might be gathering/shirring/ruffler feet...? (I'm not entirely certain). All nice PLUS there is a "spare" attachment (not really a foot, but you need it to attach the feet to the "plunger" on the machine).

My Singer machine does NOT have the ability to adjust the needle position to either side during the straight stitch. So I do have the problem other reviewers have mentioned the needle comes down squarely in the middle of the zipper foot. Bummmer! BUT I had anticipated this, which is why I'm keeping all the feet.

I made a tiny little cardboard "washer" (if you have thin cardboard from buying underwear or even a thank-you note, that's about the thickness you need a millimeter will do 'er) to fit between the screw and the attachment part so that the entire zipper foot shifts just enough to the side that my needle can go up and down smoothly. Does that make sense? If you take off the foot and the foot attachment by unscrewing it from your sewing machine, you will see what I mean.

The easiest way to make the "washer" is to poke a hole in the cardboard that's barely big enough, then put the screw in, then cut around the top of the screw to trim the cardboard as close as possible (you'll end up with a tiny piece of cardboard with a hole.) When you're putting on the zipper foot, 1st put the attachment piece, 2nd put the washer, then the foot, then the screw. Tighten the screw so the foot moves as little as possible (it won't be completely snug so be careful when sewing it may loosen after awhile, which could cause you to break a needle OR strip your screw).

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 11 Piece Sewing Machine Foot Kit

I already bought the singer confidence machine#7467S which has a manual that labels all the feet. This is an extra set of feet I can add. The feet come in a plastic bag, and the feet are unlabeled but you can't beat the price as I priced each foot on the Singer.com site and each foot is way more expensive. You can compare each foot to the feet they sell and should be able to figure out what each one does.

I used the tape to label canisters. The tape was easy to attach and could be repositioned if necessary. I looked very attractive on the canisters. Today I removed a label to wash the container. It was easy to remove. It did not leave a sticky residue. I left it face down on the cabinet until the canister was dry and reattached the label. It reattached nicely and is holding. I am looking forward to using the tape to decorate.

I would recommend this tape to friends.
