I hope Fiskars makes more of these dies available soon. I like the options of cutting or embossing, or both. The option of cutting without embossing allows me to add sentiments of my choosing.

Review of Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package - Includes

Great price for all the feet. And for those having trouble with the ruffler.. every ruffler in the world is a pain in the back side to figure out when you first start using them. And I admit that the instructions that come with it where worthless! I even called the manufacturer and no one got back to me.

I did so much searching online and finally came across a great REAL manual for using a ruffler foot. Google the words "ruffler unruffled" and a free PDF will come up. I used it and after some reading and a few failed tries, fixed my problem.

Just be prepared to take a few days or hours (if your lucky) to figure out the kinks of the enigma called the "ruffler foot".. it is kind of like learning to operate a fancy overhead projector with no instructions.

Again, google "ruffler unruffled"

Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package Includes Ruffler, Concealed Zipper Foot, Gathering Foot, 1/4" Welting Foot, Adjustable Zipper Foot, Non-Stick Foot, Roller Foot + Case Fits All Low Shank Snap-On Singer, Brother, Janome and More!

Good quality sewing foot package. It actually includes 8 pieces, not 7 since an adaptor is included for machines that do not automatically accept snap-on feet; a pleasant surprise in a market-place that teaches us to routinely accept "gotcha" type product claims. The feet are well-packaged in a permanent storage case with a formed foam insert to cradle each foot and to keep it from being damaged in storage.

When I checked the price on a ruffler-foot at my local sewing shops, the lowest price I found was $35 plus tax (9.4%) for that one piece alone. Even though some pieces are duplicates of ones I already own, overall I saved money with this package. I will definitely use both the piping and the 1/4 inch welting feet and I won't have to purchase a non-stick foot which is useful in some home decorating projects (sewing on vinyl or leather for instance.)

If you are not an experienced sewer however, I highly recommend a sewing class to learn how to use the specialized feet especially the ruffler. While the included instructions are detailed and complete, they may not make a lot sense to a beginning sewer who does not know the terminology used. (Our local sewing shop has a class entitled "Sewing With Your Feet" whose title might make more sense to you if you've been trying to use some of the specialized feet that may have come with your machine.) The instructions include a quick-check guide at the beginning of the instructions for each foot that tell you at-a-glance whether to use a straight or zig-zag stitch as well as the recommended thread tension and stitch length.

The sewing feet are good quality and should work fine with the listed brands and models. For certain very-expensive sewing machines, you will want to stick with the original manufacturer's custom presser-feet to avoid damaging your machine and voiding your warranty.

Good price, good quality, excellent packaging and shipping.

This product exceeded my expectations. The ruffler works great. The ruffler itself can cost $40+ and is the foot I was searching for. When I found this package with the roller, teflon, and welting feet as well, it was not a difficult decision to purchase.

Honest reviews on Distinctive 7-Piece Sewing Foot Home Dec Package - Includes

I bought this set because I wanted the ruffler foot and this seemed like the most cost effective way to get it. I sewed with it for probably 5 hours the day it arrived. It started out working fine, but progressively began to break more and more needles (I broke probably 12-15 during the course of the day). I'm not sure if something got out of alignment or what, but I couldn't solve the problem. The vendor was extremely willing to help over email, but it's hard to virtually diagnose and fix a problem of this sort. I ended up returning the foot package. If this foot works with your machine, it's a great deal.. however, it didn't work for mine. I have a Babylock Crafter's Choice sewing machine.

This set is really great! The ruffler is a bit tricky, but there are videos on youtube, and I found a great manual at youcanmakethis.com. You have to sign up before you download it, but it goes into great detail about using the ruffler, its parts and different types. With the help of the manual (the one included is not very detailed) and the videos I had a fairly easy time figuring it out, I was ruffling in under an hour. I am also in love with the welting attachment, it makes it so easy!! I can't wait to use the others. The pieces are metal and of very good quality.

Also, my box came with a part missing and I emailed Mr. and Mrs.Vac and Sew and they responded within and hour and have shipped out the missing part. It came today.

I definitely recommend this product and company.

Royal & Langnickel Paint Your Own Masterpiece Painting Set, Cafe Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Want to paint but don't know how to begin? The company that puts out these products, Famous Art Kits, offers a unique instructive opportunity. The canvases they send are of well-known masterpieces, such as Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Klimt's The Kiss, with only a pre-printed minimal of outlines. Each is "inspired by the paintings" and comes with a booklet discussing what colors go where, and which to paint first. Acrylic paints and brush are included. These kits are "not an exact copy, but as a beautiful and personal tribute to the great artist". .

I can't believe I wasted 10 minuets of my life with this ridiculous thing! It seemed like a nice little to project to relax with at the end of the day. This was the most irritating "masterpiece" ever! First of all, the directions are a mess in the little pamphlet, I didn't know where to begin. It makes is seem like a clear coat goes down first because they refer to the paint as "color glaze"... it's just super cheap, thin, sort-of acrylic paint. It instructs you to gently SCRUB the color into the AREAS of the gray scale canvas. What? The paint brushes included are the size of kindergarteners brushes, make out of something like brittle horse hair that falls out and breaks off all over the picture.

This whole thing is just scrubbing and scraping really thin cheap paint over a shadow of an image, so you can see through the paint, and see the weird little picture under it. This is supposed to look good? Seriously, just buy a paint by number, they look fantastic compared to this!

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!

The color choices are great. However, I was unhappy with the consistency of them. There is too much filler in the paints and it required approximately. Five coats on every child's caricature I painted. Unless you are a patient person, I do not recommend these paints.

I used these paints with 2nd graders and was so relieved at how easy it was to clean up afterward. I like the variety of tones in the paints. For a great lesson, use with the book, The Colors of Us. Kids can use these paints as a starter to mix paint that matches their own skin.

Review of Royal & Langnickel Painting by Numbers, Junior Small 4 -Piece Box

Customer Ratings:

Very nice set for the price. I only gave it 4 stars because the colors aren't numbered or labeled so you have to figure out which of the three blues is which, etc. Also, the package was damaged badly and it was a gift... But, the price is right, 4 great paintings at a great price. Perfect gift for a 10 year old.

Reviews of 30 Fine Art Paint Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolors

Customer Ratings:

I found these brushes to be of average quality. Some were better than others. Some lost the hairs rather quickly. The finish on the brushes were very nice and they appeared to be excellent brushes at first.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I was impressed by the variety of brushes for the price, but that was where my favorable impressions ended. Several of the brushes had inconsistent thread lengths and needed to be trimmed for consistency, and I had one brush literally fall apart in my hand while I was using it, the capping connecting the brush to the shaft just falling off. Probably to be expected given the Made in China stamped on every brush. All in all, probably not a terrible investment if you just need a selection of brushes to get you through a college elective or high school art class as long as you don't mind having to glue a couple of them back together, but certainly not a worthwhile investment for a serious artist or avid hobbyist.

Best Deals for 30 Fine Art Paint Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolors

This is a good starter set for anyone beginning to paint. The set has brushes for oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting. However, it has been my experience that you can use any brush for any type of paintig. As you get more experience you will fine you like some more than others. That is why I recommend a cheaper set like this to start out with. You can spend a fortune on brushes if you want to but why invest alot of money until you are sure you are going to like to paint.

These brushes (and alot of the cheaper ones) shed a little. If this happens you can take a tooth pick and gently lift the hair off your canvas.

Recommend for all beginners.

They were shipped to me in a reasonable amount of time. However, I was expecting these brushes to somewhat work... As I was taking them out of the package, 4 of them fell apart. The rest were very wiggly too. Also, the oil brushes were completely stiff and had some sort of resin or something on them, and they had very tough bristles overall.

I would not recommend. This was a TERRIBLE product.

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!
