Review of Moda Aspen Frost Charm Pack, Set of 42 5-inch (12.7cm) Precut

Customer Ratings:

A little lighter in color than I wanted. Squares have been true to size so far, which is helpful to me as I am new to quilting and trying to match those corners and such. These will be part of gift to my sons family, placemats with their name on one square.

These (and all others like it as I have many) are so easy and simple to use I wondered why I used other dies first.

When I first purchased these items I also wondered how to use them on my Sizzix machine as I do not own the one which these were created for. I went to the Spellbinders website and saw they have some videos which show how to use their dies on multiple systems. The video is showing how easy it is, and easy is nice.

Do not be discouraged by [revious reviewer. These really are simple and easy to use. They are indeed packaged so as not to shift in shipping but that is easily rectified for storage later. If you do not purchase the carrying case to put these in you can simply put them in Ziploc bags and file in a folder. You can put a sample of the die on the outside of the folder for easy locating later if needed.

I recommend these dies as they are versatile and easy to use. If you do not know how to use on your system, go to the Stampabilities website and view their videos showing how to use, or call their number to talk with customer service, as I had done this once as well. I have a Sizzix machine but I use these dies on it.

The Nestabilities work great once you fiqure out how to use them with your particular die-cut machine. There are no instructions on how to use the product. But once you get over this hump, they work great cutting all of the shapes included.

They DO NOT EMBOSS however until you buy an embossing pad. Again no instructions so you have to figure this out on your own.

Then there is storage. You need to keep them organized (there are over 100 dies, over 20 in each 4 count pack) but all that is provided is double faced tape to hold them down on cardboard. A temporary solution at best. The tape eventually wears out but in some cases the individual Nestability can be bent due to the force needed to get it off the tape the first time.

Overall the product seem to be in its infancy and needs some improvements to instructions,long term storage and possibly initial packaging. But I am willing to pioneer on!

Stalwart 75-S011 Pottery and Sculpture Tool Set, 11-Piece Reviews

This is a wonderful starter pottery tool set. It doesn't have everything you need--i.e. metal scraper, wooden scraper, wire clay cutter, clay paring knife, wooden trimming tools, etc, but it has some great sculpting and "editing" tools that allow you to do wonderful detail-work. The only bad thing about these tools is that after a little use the heads tend to fall out of the wooden handle-sockets, so be careful when washing your tools or you will wash some of them down the sink! A little super-glue should do the trick though. Over all though, a decent product for the price.

As you can see from the pictures, they are all showing different combination of tools. And I got a ten-piece instead, missing the loop tool. And the original packaging was opened. It was repacked, with loose items, in a larger ready-to-ship bag, probably by someone who is not very good in math.

KA Switch Exchangable Circular Knitting Needles Standard Set Review

Customer Ratings:

I have a set of these purchased from Pink Feather Knitting. I've had them for about 1 1/2 years and have made several projects with them. The set I have is in a black polka dot cloth case, closing with velcro. It contains needle sizes 2 thru 13 with 8 cables of various lengths. The cables with the connectors store in a (cheap)plastic bag, then in an outside pocket closed with velcro. I thought the case could have been made a little nicer and offered more protection, but it is OK, not great.

The needles are made of bamboo, nice, smooth finish. I have not had any problems with yarn snagging on them as I have had with other needles made of bamboo. The cables screw onto the needles and I have not had them come loose or come apart so far. I am careful to made sure they are pretty tight before I start knitting. The connection is smooth, not rough like some others I have, and the yarn slides right over the joint.

There are 3 sizes of connections, the larger needles have thicker cables and larger "screws" (for lack of a better word). A middle size cable and connector for the middle size needles. I use this size most often. The smallest needles have a small screw and much finer cables. There are 3 connectors to connect 2 cables together, one for each size of cable. I haven't used the connector yet. There is a swivel in the cable connector where it screws onto the needle, this keeps the cables from twisting and I've really enjoyed this feature.

I have enjoyed having and using these needles. I have really liked have such a variety of sizes since the nearest yarn shop is over an hour's drive from my home.

I would purchase these again and would recommend them to my friends. Addi Clic is the set I dream of owning some day, but the KA Interchangeables are very nice and were quite a bit cheaper. I feel they are a good product and worth the money.

Spellbinders never ceases to amaze me they have beautiful, well made dies that cut with basically any machine and do so perfectly. I think this is the first time I've rated one of their dies less than 5 stars. I do like it; it does have it's place, but it wasn't exactly what I thought. Looking at the picture, I thought it cut edge to edge. If you look closely, you'll see it goes almost to the edge. I cannot use it for the purpose I purchased it, but have made some beautiful cards with it. The more solid edges seem to look prettier than the one with cut-outs.

I'm a pen fanatic. This pens are a nice set because you get a variety of thickness in pen lines. The ink runs smooth and dries quickly. The tops of the pens have the thickness written on it so it is easy to grab what you need quickly. Great for artwork, framing, doodling, and journaling.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I love pens such as these for drawing and writing. I often will use a pen before or after I do a watercolor to add emphasis or a bit of abstraction to my composition. And I like to sketch when I travel.

These pens have a selection of point diameters from fine to thick ( from .01, .03, .05 up to .08 ) and the ink IS WATERPROOF, meaning I can use a technique where I first do a very impressionistic or free-flowing sketch, even a contour drawing, then dash in the watercolor. This is a very useful technique for making greeting cards. (A contour drawing is when you put your pen down, look at the object you are drawing and follow the outlines of the object, never lifting your pen. If you want to see how to use this in your artwork, go look at Charles Reid's watercolor work. His graphite underdrawings are done with this contour method and it's a great exercise, if you've never done it. Go try.)

This set has all kinds of uses, and I just love it.

The listing and packaging indicate that you're going to get at least one pen in each size, but I received one 01, one 08, and three 03 pens. They're pretty good so far, make very crisp lines. The nibs are a bit sturdier than those on Sakura Pigmas, so although I haven't used them much so far I feel like I will get a lot more use out of them.

Buy ThinkBamboo 12.5" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles - 15 sizes

Customer Ratings:

Got these recently and I love them so far! Much warmer, and MUCH lighter than the similar metal hooks that I've been using for years. I wish I had bought these sooner. They are really smooth, but might occasionally have a small spot that is rough, but so far, after using 3 different sizes, no catches or snags. Rubbing wax paper will smooth them out if they start to get rough. Some of them were slightly warped, but none were broken. Warping is expected with a natural product at such a tiny diameter, but it does not detract from the usefulness of the smaller sizes.

One thing though, keep an eye on them, or hide them from the pets as they have a familiar 'wooden stick' odor, and the dog (our adult anyway) had an inclination to steal them off my workspace and start chewing them. Luckily I caught her soon enough that she didn't do any damage. (PHEW!) I have these needles, the crochet hooks, and the 9" DPN's all in carbonized finish.

I would absolutely buy from this seller again, the product came from upper-mid-west to New England in less than a week with super saver shipping, and they were packed fairly well.

Honest reviews on ThinkBamboo 12.5" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles - 15 sizes

I am a novice knitter. These needles are a great value and make a good starter set. Having all of the sizes readily available has enabled me to take on projects I otherwise wouldn't have attempted.

Description

There are 15 pairs of bamboo needles. The sizes are clearly etched onto the side of each needle. Each pair of needles comes individually packaged, making it easy to keep track of them.

Quality

I have used needles sizes 4-13 with cotton, acrylic, and cotton blend yarns. The needles are smooth, lightweight and comfortable to use. They initially felt delicate compared to metal needles, but are actually very sturdy. Even the smaller sizes hold up well under the weight of a project.

The needles have good traction, but at the same time the yarn moves easily when I want it to. Rubbing them with oil makes it even easier to slide the yarn along the needle. As noted in some of the other reviews, the needles aren't perfectly straight-many have a slight bow shape to them. However, this is a purely cosmetic issue. I haven't found that the curve affects the finished product at all.

The needle tips are more rounded than pointed and taper slowly, which I like. I have used them with stockinette, ribbed, and basic lace patterns and find the taper gives me more room to work, making it easier to perform complicated stitches and keep my tension even.

Overall, I've been very pleased with this purchase and would buy them again.

These knitting needles were a big disappointment. The ends are fairly blunt, which makes it hard for newbie knitter like me to get them through the loops. Also, at least one pair has splinters at the tip! I could easily get a splinter if I wasn't careful.

I purchased the pen holder and since it's made out of plastic and the screws are made out of metal the screw threads on the holder easily stripped and the screws no longer fit snug.

I ordered this pen holder to replace my old one that I lost. The previous pen holder I had purchased from Silhouette and it was mostly plastic but the screw and hole were metal. This item is all plastic. The screws on both sides were stripped right out of the package. I did not even get to use it. The company is making me pay for shipping to send back a defective item!

Honest reviews on Silhouette Pen Holder

I was so excited to try the pen holder for my Silhouette so I could use Sharpies and other pens in it. HOWEVER, the screws to hold the pen seem like they are stripped (and they definitely are now). From the moment I took it out of the package and tried a Sharpie in the holder, my sharpie wouldn't stay still. It wobbled back and forth in the direction opposite the screws. After trying to tighten the holder a bit more to reduce the wobble, the screws stripped the holes in the holder and now a pen won't stay tight in the holder. Very disappointed in this product. I'm planning to return it and find something else maybe a metal holder.

It was also quite difficult to align the pen in the holder at the right height for the nib to stick out, yet not get squished when the pen was placed on the paper.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Silhouette Pen Holder

I own the older Silhouette SD and wanted this holder. It works with the new Inkjoy pens and my thin Sharpies. I did, however, figure out I had to increase the speed on the Sharpie. When drawing on smooth Bristol, a slow speed will cause some bleeding (this is not a design issue).

I only have it 4 stars because I've barely used it. Also, I could only use one screw on the right and not both screws. (No room on the left.) So far I haven't had any issues with the lien slipping.

This is a 1-inch wide mat with white core; fine for 4"x6" photos. They aren't up to what I consider professional artist standards, but I bought these to mount my 4x6 watercolor studies, for which they're adequate. The thin cardboard backing does not appear to be acid free but is coated on both sides; the back of the mat itself is also coated. And the clear envelopes both fit and seal perfectly.

Shipping from Golden State Art was prompt; I have no issues with their service.
