I received this set as a gift from my boyfriend and all I can say is that I absolutely love it! It came in perfect condition, and they are very easy to use. The only thing that poses as an "issue" is that they bleed through normal paper, but the finished product looks amazing, so it is very worth the money.

The product works the way it is supposed to, I guess. I even had the right kind of stencil. The problem is that the combination doesn't work the way it is supposed to. You can't connect the stencil to itself to make a long border and get it to connect in the right places. The pounce pad is so imprecise you don't know when you've succeeded in marking and when you haven't.

Three decades ago, when I made my first quilt, I made my own stencil and my own pounce out of talcum powder. This certainly is better and I expect the marking would last a lot longer than the talcum powder did, but still brush away when you no longer wanted it. So, as you can tell, I understand the system. But it just did not work for me.

easy to mark quilts with this pounce, but can get a little messy. no big deal, washes off with water.

Best Deals for Quilt Pounce Pad With Chalk Powder - 4 Ounces

I saw a video of how to use this product on Nancy's Notions website. She made it look so easy--just tamp the applicator in the tray that comes with it, rub it over the stencil and there is your sewing line all ready to be quilted. Unfortunately it didn't work that way for me. You have to tamp the pad a lot to get the powder to work its way though the pad and it did not come through evenly even though I tried to shake the powder around to make sure it covered the whole pad. Then after I swiped it over the stencil the line was not very distinct--it had a halo around the lines. The part that really bothered me though was that the line rubbed off before I had it quilted. Just with the movement necessary to move the piece around while stitching caused enough movement to rub the chalk marks off. I don't know if there is a way to make the powder stick to the fabric better. I would not buy this product again.

Extremely messy chalk gets all over quilt. chalk Does not stay on as you work with quilt. Pounce does not distribute chalk evenly. Very poor product

The Art Of Writing Traveler's Writing Chest Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I carry this with me everywhere. I do a lot of writing in my journal and I prefer to use a dip pen more than anything else, so this is the perfect little kit. I also do quite a bit of letter writing. Inside the box, there is enough room for two small rulers, a compass, a bone folder for letters, an eraser, a couple of wax seals, alcohol travel burner for wax, about 4 or 5 sticks of wax and a small stamp pad for same, extra pencil lead, a small coffin for extra pen nibs, a sandpaper pencil pointer, and a small bottle of acrylic ink pen-nib cleaner, like those little Speedball ink bottles except it's a pen cleaner. I was amazed that even though the box and the little space is small, I could cram so much into it. The only problems I had with the whole thing is that there is a plaque on the top of the box with the company's name on it...I took it off and it now has my own plaque on it. And, the case for it is very nicely made, but it ALSO has the company's name on it. I just put the cloth carry-case upside down with the name on the bottom and I never see it. I had never written with a glass pen before this set. For broad strokes and using quite a bit of ink, that's the glass pen right out of the box. So I used some very-very fine grit sandpaper to make a sharp point on it and now it works great!

Overall, WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

It took like 3 weeks to get here, but it was from Hong Kong or something, so whatever haha. Regarding the spikes, theyre great. Theyre probably a little bigger than a tictac, which is fine. You get good stuff for what you pay for. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to spike out their stuff. I did however get one back screw that didnt match, which means that i couldnt use that spike.

If you've never used Oil Pastel Sticks, you are in for a real pleasure. They are so wonderful to work with, and blend like a dream. There are 36 colors in this set, and you can create many more because they blend so well.

Get yourself some good quality drawing paper and add a new dimension to your creative expression. Once you try these, you'll buy them again and again. A.W. Faber Castell turns out very high quality items, and this set is a fine example of that quality.

I bought this box of oil pastels for my son, who loves art and coloring. Crayons and colored pencils are nice, but they don't have the same richness and blendability as pastels.

He was delighted to receive them, and has used them a dozen time in a month. These are top quality pastels not crumbly or dry. The colors range from soft to vivid, and the 36 colors in this box are plenty to choose from.

I recommend these for anyone who wants to buy good quality art products. The price was reasonable for the quality we received.

Never thought I'd give one star to this product. I do like Faber-Castell, I'm an artist and have many products of this brand.

This set was a total disappointment. If you ever had 'real' German Faber-Castell items you'll understand what I mean. It's made in Korea not in Germany. It smells bad, the package quality is poor, the pastel quality is poor... urgh

I know it's all about the price and it's a good value for this money... but when I buy Faber-Castell I expect the famous German quality.

What a nice surprise! You can't tell from the product picture, but these don't have the cutting ridge right at the edge of the die, just like Spellbinders' dies. So there is a little lip that can emboss the edge of the shape, which I think makes a more finished look.

I was so excited to receive this in such a sort amount of time! 15 dies in graduating sizes and the price it great. I am finding that the scalloped edge on the smaller dies isn't a very deep scallop. More like a wave than a scallop. I feel that it will probable still be OK for my projects.

This is cheaper at Joann's but they were out of stock, and I promised my granddaughter this kit. It is really cute and I think she will really love it once she finishes. I ordered the kit from Joann's and but was disappointed when they let me know it was out of stock and they were not sure when the shipped would be in. So I remembered that I saw this one on Amazon, so I choose to pay more and ordered it. I came quickly, as always, and as expected.

i bought this product to create wine glasses with. i am used to working with a thicker paint so this surprised me that it was so thin and then recognized it was transparent. the wine glass still turned out great! i had to use 2-3 coats and had to be very patient bc since this is a thin paint it can drip easily. other than that, my glasses have turned out great! :)

I didn't buy this particular set (although I wish I had rather than invididually!) but I thought I would review the Pebeo Vitrea paints in general.

I first purchased some of the gloss glass paint and the outliner tubes to decorate wine glasses for my wedding party. I was pretty impressed with the paint and it was very easy to use. I painted 5-point flower petals in a different color for each bridesmaid, and used the outliners to paint their names in a script font.

Making mistakes with this paint is OKAY! A huge mistake wipes off easily with rubbing alcohol to start fresh, and I recommend doing it this way until you get familiar with the paint. A small mistake can be easily fixed by first letting it air dry for an hour or two. I was able to take a wood toothpick and clean up lines or mistakes and the paint didn't CHIP off, but allowed me to work with it and reveal the glass underneath with no problem. You can actually scrape the paint off at any point before it's oven-cured.

The colors are really pretty. The frosted versions are much more opaque than the gloss versions which are a bit more transparent than you would expect.

The absolute BEST thing about this glass paint and the main reason I am writing this review and gave it 5 stars: I use my own painted wine glass atleast once a week and it goes right in the dishwasher. I've had it for about 2 years now, and it still looks PERFECT. The longevity of this paint when cured correctly (follow the instructions on the bottle) is simply amazing.

I've painted other wine glasses for gifts since my first attempt and I'm very sad that Michael's no longer sells this brand. (Michael's now sells Martha Stewart glass paint and every review I read says that you can scratch that right off with your nail even after curing! EEK!) I would have to try really hard, with a razor blade, to scratch the Pebeo Vitrea paint from my glasses.

I'll be buying some more Pebeo Vitrea paint from Amazon to make some more gifts. :)

This paint is glorious.

Takes a little getting used to, some of the colors are more opaque than others, and mixing them can get a little muddy. But the colors are vibrant, and under typical application/drying/baking the paint itself stands up extremely well! I've a year+ old set of glasses painted with Pebeo that have gone through multiple hot water hand AND machine washings and look as good as the day they were painted.

This (and other) similar sets are definitely the way to start out with the paints the cheapest price I've found for a decent array of colors that should be a good starting palette for most painters. And this paint goes a long way! After couple of dozen glasses painted, with decent coverage of paint on each and more than a little wastage of unused paint, I am only down barely a third of even the most used colors!

Also I'd definitely recommend the mediums & thinners for watering them down over just using water (despite the paint's water solubility). Possibly it's just a trick I haven't gotten the hang of yet, but the paints much easier to work with the former technique than the latter!

Honest reviews on Pebeo Vitrea 160 Glossy Glass Paint Set, Cardboard Box of 10

If done properly (which isn't hard to do right) this paint will stay on forever; Through dishwashing, hot rinse, whatever you can throw at it. My one comment would be the paints have a very painterly look, meaning you can see the brush strokes. If your objective is a flat surface (ie. a tardis), it can be harder to achieve. But I still love this product! And would recommend it to anyone wanting to make permanent glass ware more decorative.
