Cheap Adorable Puppy Aunt Martha's Hot Iron Embroidery

Adorable Puppy Aunt Martha's Hot Iron Embroidery
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Aunt Martha's is one of my favorite products to buy because the company that make these transfers is an American family run company (Colonial Arts) and purchasing their products doesn't mean settling.

It's hard to see in the pictures of the product but this particular series of transfers is tableau's of approximately 3 or 4 x 5 or 6 inches. They are mostly line drawn and do include some crosshatching designed to be worked as cross stitch which is mostly used for shading. All of the designs have a day of the week written beneath them but it's easy to snip away the lettering as I did to use them on pillow cases or other textiles.

I have transferred some already and can tell you that I have never had a bad experience transferring Martha's designs and this was no exception. I usually can get a good 4 transfers from a design.

Very pleased.

This machine represents the most incredible value-for-money on the market today. It is very, very easy to use, and the manual is exceptionally helpful. It comes with every foot and accessory you could ever possibly need. In fact, there is nothing more you can buy for it. Compare that to the other sewing machine manufacturers, which give you only the most basic feet and then you must purchase everything else separately. If you have been hankering for the convenience of fully computerized sewing, automatic needle threading, push-button sewing, and lots of fun stitches, don't hesitate. I highly recommend this machine. I've owned very expensive machines from all the top manufacturers, and would not recommend it if the stitches were not beautiful or if it were loud or junky. This was given to me as a gift (I'm ashamed to say I would probably have walked right past it because of its low price) and I love it so much, I have gone on to buy the Brother serger here on Amazon, and also a $999.00 Brother Innovis, which is another tremendous bargain. I was really pleased to see that even the more expensive machine uses the same bobbins and feet as this one, and this has many of the same features. This $200 machine comes iwth virtually all the same attachments as the $1000 one.

This is the machine that some of the larger sewing and quilting expos are using in their workshops now because they are so lightweight, easy to learn, and reliable. High end Berninas and Vikings are just too complicated for people to sit down and learn at in a classroom setting, and they are way too expensive. This machine is the Featherweight of the 21st century, with tons of stitches and fun built in. Go for it!!!

Every time I describe this machine to sewing friends, I start and end with "It sews like a dream." And it does, so far, if it's not stressed with too many layers (and I haven't even tried denim yet). But this machine is not, I suspect, a workhorse. It is audibly annoyed at thick layers, like French seams, although so far, it does, with encouragement, sew them together. I love the reverse-stitch button. I love changing stitch types and sizes with the touch of a button, and I really love that it even tells me what presser-foot I will need (although I am not looking forward to changing the feet). And it sews like a dream.

However, the light is ridiculous -small, dim, badly placed -and the first thing I did was clamp a gooseneck lamp to the table so that I could actually see to sew, thread the needle (there is some Rube Goldberg-type set up that is supposed to do that for you, but it is too small to see, requires an extra hand to operate, and works half the time), and see the screen whereon the cool stitch size/type info is displayed. Everything involving the bobbin is terrific, from winding it to dropping it in. Threading the top thread is a snap till the last two steps, which require tiny, nimble fingers and powerful laser-like vision. You will have to roll excess fabric tightly to fit it through the minimalist tunnel between the needle and the body of the machine, so don't plan on making a heavy wool, lined coat. The narrow, plastic foot pedal feels cheap and is poorly designed. If I merely inhale while sewing, it goes from slow to warp speed, and I spend too much time chasing and repositioning it. This is one of the problems when we don't have metal parts anymore -you can lift this whole machine with one little finger (literally) -don't count on it to stay where you've put it (and that includes the machine, which I once tipped when shifting fabric). I admit, though, that the thing really does sew like a dream.

This is my first new machine since the Nixon administration, and I still have my fabulous, heavy, mechanical Singer that will sew through layers of chain mail, but I was seduced by the free-arm and the buttonholer (which I'll eventually use, I suppose) and the alleged improvements and ease of use. I believe that, while it does sew like a dream, this machine was designed by someone who has never sat at a sewing machine to actually use it. You know -to sew something.

PS -I have now been using this machine daily for a couple of months, and I am delighted to say that it handles denim beautifully. In fact, I have fallen in love with this machine. The light still sucks, and the design flaws are still annoying, but I'm loving this sewing machine. The tension issue that I've read about happened, in my case, only once and when I understood why (it was my fault -sloppy threading of the bobbin), it has not reappeared. I humbly admit that I was hasty in voicing my concerns. For the money, this machine, despite the light, is a terrific deal. If I could add a star or two, I would, but Amazon doesn't allow it.

Best Deals for Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine With 60 Built-In

I bought the machine for the price and the features, but I have to admit, I was nervous after reading some of the reviews that told about all the problems that they had right away. But I figured it had to be better than my 35-40 year old Kenmore. I want to state right away, I am very happy with my purchase thus far. I've had some problems (read below), but I have managed to figure some things out. But, if you are looking for a good machine to quilt, this machine has all the features you will need, and it's priced so you can actually afford it. 2 other points to know, Amazon has a good return policy and from what I have heard, Brother has a good customer service history. These were 2 other deciding factors for me.

So here are my first impressions. I thought I was going to get a 1/4" foot that is shown in the instruction manual. I didn't. If it was supposed to be in the box, I'd love to hear from someone to let me know. I also read in the reviews that some people got a instructional DVD. I didn't get this, but if I was supposed to get it, I'd like to get it. The hard cover does not allow you to keep the machine plugged in to use it, so it's not going to be useful for me, except when I want to store it long term. I cover my machine whenever it's not in use with a quilted cover that I made for my old machine. Luckily, it fits my Brother.

The instruction manual is very helpful. I followed it from front to back so that I could learn everything I could. When I finally got ready to test sew, the tension was really messed up. I worked at it for quite a while, referring back to the manual to adjust it correctly, but it just wouldn't work! So I threaded the machine again, and took the bobbin out and made sure that I inserted it exactly as the book indicated, and magically, it worked. I think I must have did the bobbin wrong at first. Lesson 1, read the directions! And if all else fails, read them again.

My next problem was very strange. Suddenly the thread was bunching up on the bottom side of my project. Out came the instruction manual again, but the answer wasn't there. I changed the bobbin thread to a different color, which showed me that the top thread was the thread that was bunching up on the bottom. So I started messing with the tension again. But that wasn't helping at all! So I decided to try a different thread, and SHAZAM! it worked. The original thread I was using was a cheap thread, I changed it to a good quality thread. Lesson 2, this machine does not like cheap thread.

The quilting table is a fabulous accessory! But I am still working out one problem with it. The backside of the table doesn't seem to attach to anything on the machine. So as I work on my project, the legs shift and eventually they fold up. The instruction manual does not help in this case at all. I'm still working on this one.

Even with these issues, I am still glad I got this machine. I am able to work faster with more precision. The machine is quiet, compared to my Kenmore. And it is much lighter too! The downside is that it moves around on my table more than I like, especially when I am quilting a larger project. I'm not sure how I will fix this problem, but I will eventually.

So now it's time for you to decide. Good luck!

Honest reviews on Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine With 60 Built-In

Like everyone else reading these reviews, this is how I ultimately chose and bought this machine-so I hope this review helps you make a choice too! It seems like every machine I looked at though had several really negative reviews (some had more than others-but the really positive reviews for this one is what eventually convinced me-so I just want to add to it!) and probably like you it made me really nervous!-the only thing I can say about that is that any product on the market has a certain number of duds (errors in the manufacturing)-in which case all you can do is return it in the allowable time. By the way-this is why I buy all of my appliances/electronics with my American Express card-they will give you your money back on any purchase (up to like $1000) if it's lost, stolen or broken (even if it's your fault it broke or the kids drop it!) within 90 days. I'm not sure if this is a benefit for all AMEX cards (though I've heard it is) so just check with your customer service ...ANYWAY... sorry about the tangent.

It really is the best buy for what you get: this EXACT SAME model is selling on for $! So truly don't let the low price fool you, it really is a more expensive machine selling for super cheap right here on amazon. This has everything you need, and has room to grow as you become more experienced so you don't have to go upgrade. Because I'm a beginner I first thought "I'll just buy the $ one with 10 stitch options because I don't know what all those stitches do anyway, and then if I really get into sewing that's cheap enough that I'll upgrade in a year or two" I'm so glad I didn't do that, I'm still just beginning but I can see how valuable having more stitch options is going to be and I've already started using some of them. (see below)

When I took it out of the box I started going through the user manual was sewing within the amount of time it took to wind the bobbin and thread the machine (the automatic threader took a couple tries but now it's a breeze) In regards to the cheap thread thing: I actually went to a licensed BROTHER dealer in town and asked about it, and they said that MOST MACHINES STRUGGLE WITH CHEAP THREAD. So my following question was "Well, what is cheap thread?" and her response was "Like, when you get 5 spools for a a dollar or two" In any case I just bought my thread at a 'real' fabric store (not like wal-mart and such places that just happen to carry fabric too) and have not had any problems WHATSOEVER-no tension problems, no bobbin problems, nothing.

My absolute favorite feature is that when you change stitches the LCD display tells you what presser foot you need to attach for that stitch!!! You don't have to refer to the user manual. It shows you the shape as well as what letter it is (J, G, M....etc. and each foot has the letter engraved on it). My second favorite thing is that because I don't have a serger yet (maybe I don't need one now!) in order to keep fabric from unraveling I've really enjoyed using the overcasting stitches with the overcasting presser foot-it's so easy. I just trim seams down and then overcast (stitch #6 is what I use)-works just as well as a serger and saves me the $$$money$$$.

Good luck and happy sewing!

I wanted a mid-range sewing machine with some flexibility, and this is the machine. I sews quickly and flawlessly, and is super easy to learn. It seems well made, and very intuitive to learn. I love the computerized stitch selection so easy to change stitch length and width. I've had no problems with winding the bobbin as in previous Singer machines. I love the fact that it comes with a quilting table and a case, too, what a deal. It seems to me to be a good, basic machine that would be great for a beginner or intermediate sewer. I've made several purses since I bought this machine, and they stitched up very well. Good selection of presser feet with this machine, as well. Easy to thread and easy to wind the bobbin. The bobbins are readily available everywhere, so I bought a dozen for $2 so that I could keep plenty wound and ready to go. This machine is very light and easy to carry around that's a big plus for someone like me who has to sew at the kitchen table. I could have rated the machine 5 stars, but haven't had it long enough to really have super deep feelings about it, so far I'd just say it seems to be a good mid-range machine and I would recommend it. My other machines have been an expensive Singer (nothing but trouble), a budget Brother, and a Baby Lock Serger.

I bought these little containers to use to give out homemade lip balm as gifts. They worked fine, except a few of the lids were cracked which rendered the containers unable to be sealed.

I should have read the reviews but just clicked and purchased. These guys are very small and might be as round as a dime. I had some small screws that I needed organized but these guys would not even hold two small screws. These are micro containers. With that said they come in a plastic case and lids screw on nice, so this looks like a good item just too small for my use. I don't deduct stars for my ignorance so this gets a 5 from me.

Best Deals for SE 87136DB 30-Piece Plastic Storage Container

First off, I have to say, I have absolutely "no problem" with the shipper. These arrived with the rest of my order from Amazon in a timely manner.

I, personally, absolutely LU-HUVE these "micro" jars for what "I" use them for. I will share with you what I like and don't like about these little "micro" jars and hope this review and my recommendations will aid you in your choice of, "to buy-or-not to buy" these little jewels! SE 87136DB 30-Piece Plastic Storage Container

What I like:

* They only cost around $10 for 30 jars (an incredible price and perfect for sorting and organizing our tiny treasures)

* The "micro" jars are "EXTREMELY TINY" (exactly what I was looking for, and can't stress the smallness of the size enough to you). The inside measures about 20mm diameter X 25mm high (aprox 3/4" x 1"). Amazon carries larger ones Darice 2025-251 Clear Bead Container with 24 Storage Jars and Darice JD Bead Storage System with 12 Containers if you need larger jars. I have a few cases of both of these sizes and highly recommend them (again, keep jar sizes in mind).

* They are completely CLEAR (perfect for quick-finding) and the lids on "the jars" stay on very well, no problems here! The cases stack nicely (place on level surface, slick acrylic, could easily slide off).

* These are fantastic for anything "tiny". Nail Techs would love these too! Great for tiny crystals, baked-sliced-canes, and other little things used in nail art (watch the acetone around them, will cloud and dissolve this type plastic).

* I would recommend them for those teeny-tiny glass beads, seed beads, glitter, and small amounts and sizes of jewelry findings.

* Great to sort & store your multiple sizes of jump rings, crimp beads, crimp covers, clasps (not toggles, unless they are really small), small beads, or "focus" beads (keep in mind inner dimensions), small charms, etc.

* These are "okay" (not best choice), for mica, pigment powders, eye shadows, etc (remember, substances like powders, glitter, and micro glass beads will "slip" into the upper rim of the closed jar and will spill-out upon opening, ALWAYS) Try tapping the top of lid a few times before opening, this helps a little.

What I don't like:

* I DO NOT like the acrylic this set is made of. Any acetone will cloud and degrade this acrylic, pronto! This is that really hard acrylic that chips, cracks, and breaks easily. I ordered 4 the first time, 2 of the 4 lids were cracked beyond use (Amazon sent me new ones). All 4 bottoms were cracked, but usable. It's just that type of acrylic that breaks easily! Keep away from children, please. All of the jars were okay. Ordered 3 more with next order, all were cracked terribly (lids and bottoms). Again, jars were fine. I observed Amazon's packing and found it spot-on. Amazon bubble wrapped and air-bagged the cases in route to me, so I do not believe it's due to "their" shipping practice. I believe the damage is done in warehouse or in it's original shipment to warehouse. Apparently this seems to be a continual problem, so be aware, when ordering.

* I absolutely "despise" how the lid fits with the bottom case. It DOES NOT "fit snugly", at all, in any way. It just "rests" on the bottom case and will fall off if turned sideways or get tipped upside-down. The jars fit snugly enough in the case normally, however, "will" fall out if it gets tipped upside-down. If you plan to travel with these (would NOT recommend in original case), please be sure to secure together, i.e. wrapping something around outer case to prevent the lid from coming off and bottom case & lid breakage. Also, keep this "loose lid" situation in mind when considering where you will be storing and accessing these.

* Absolutely WOULD NOT recommend for storing any liquids. These DO NOT seal well. I CANNOT stress this enough. For the most part, the lids screw on fine (you'll have fewer problems with fit if you try to keep the lid that came with each jar, with "that" jar) If you need individual jars that will be good for small amounts of liquid or powders that are not as apt to leak or slip, I would recommend something like Plaid Cubby Ware Clear Plastic Paint Storage Containers with Lids 1 Ounce Pack of 100. This is the type of jar I would recommend for powder or liquid storage.

* The majority of the lids had sharp edges, where they came out of the mold casting, but is easily taken care of by filing the sharp bit off with a nail file or something like that. Doesn't take long, kind of a pain, but is doable.

* One last thing, (I'm exhausted, as I'm sure you are), I would "NOT" recommend these containers Darice 6-1/4-Inch by 4-1/4-Inch Bead Container with 24 Flip Top Canisters as an alternative. "Just-say-no"! These are terrible. The lids just pop-right-off-there. They "seem" to fit snugly but DO NOT. It was absolute "bead mayhem". I bought 4 boxes of these and they are horrible. We didn't try them all, but of the ones we did, NOT ONE stayed closed. Great concept, poor execution!

It would be so much simpler if the sellers would just put correct dimensions, pictures and uses; recommended, and not recommended in the description details section, but they don't. Darn-it! Lengthy, I know, but I hope this has helped somebody. Happy Organizing! Ciao

Ok well I ordered these bcuz i had previously ordered the 30 set NYX color pigment colors and like everyone says the top holes are to tiny for any kind of brush to fit in, but these clear jars are very easy to work with. The reason it is 4 stars is becasue i think the jars crack to easily and the tops can be a bit to hard to twist off, but other than that they work just fine

This is the very first Chipboard I have purchased for my Scrapbooking projects so I wasn't exactly certain what to expect. I have not had an opportunity to actually apply the Chipboard to paper yet. However, the Once Upon a Time Pink Glitter Alphabet Chipboard is very pretty and appears to be very good quality. Each letter is consistent with the other and done in the same lovely font. All have smooth edges, are evenly coated and feel sturdy. I had been concerned that the Chipboard may be too thick for the clear plastic page protectors. However, after seeing them and touching them this is no longer a concern. I am very excited that I have finally acquired most of the Once Upon A Time Accessories for my scrapbooking project with this purchase. Having said that, anyone interested in using a feminine Chipboard for compiling a scrapbook should consider this product whether using the Once Upon A Time theme or not.

I carry markers, and paper, with me wherever I go so I can draw at the drop of a hat. It matters in my work.

I prefer things like Prisamcolor, but they are a pretty big marker to carry around. All pen-sized markers I find have odd colors, limited selection, weird tips (no more brushes, please), poor ink, etc.

These are great. In every way. The dual tips are almost perfect sizes. A narrow writing end, and a weirdly shaped blunt end I had qualms about but in fact is the best thing ever. Like how you wish a Sharpie worked when not sharp, but it never does. The ink is the best part though. It's real, archival level ink. Never fades, never soaks or spreads, just goes where you put it with full saturation. And don't even talk to me about the colors of things like Sharpie. That's not black, these are black. And the colors are lovely and very saturated.

Until they are discontinued, this will be my go-to marker and my most suggested one for everything that does not require a permanent marker.

These nibs do indeed "hold" more ink than your average nib on the street. I can also tell you, that for the price, these nibs perform as well, and if not better, than some of the more expensive nibs I have used over the years. I was digging through my art stuff and found a box containing quite a number of these things I have collected throughout the years and to be quite frank, I had forgotten I had them. Anyway, I had already purchased this new set so out of curiosity I tried quite a number of them, i.e. the old versus the new. These new tips held up quite well in my unofficial and purely nonscientific test.

These nibs fit all my old pen holders but I do have two of the Speedball Sapphire models which are my favorite...one rather new and one rather old.

If these things are not abused and are kept clean as all pen nibs should be kept, there is no reason they will not last for years. The ink delivery is quite smooth and there is no "rough" feel about them.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with this product and am delighted with the price here on Amazon. To be honest, these cost me about four more bucks here at a local art supply house...teach me to do my research!

I wanted to get into calligraphy so I got this set along with Learn Calligraphy by Margaret Shepherd and some blue Waterman ink. Being a novice, I can't go too in depth, but so far I really like this set. There's a great variety of nibs for different purposes. I found some of the nibs to be, I guess you could call it "scratchy". These would pick up fibers from the paper, making the writing a bit fuzzy as well as the page. Granted this is a two dollar grid notebook I got merely for practice. Nonetheless, these nibs serve their purpose and I'm happy with my purchase. Maybe further down the road I'll invest in some Brause, but for now these are great. I especially like the A5 nib, it's definitely one of the smoothest.

I had a rather expensive purse with a broken zipper. I took the purse to have the zipper repaired and due to the make of the purse, no one would touch it and recommended I send it back to the manufacturer. With no gurantees the manufacturer could repair it and as the manufacturer would only give me a credit toward another purse that would be substantially less than what I paid, I decided to try Instant Zipper, as I had nothing to lose. It worked beautifully and now I can continue to enjoy using the purse!

This kit has 4 zipper replacements. One is really small, one medium, and two that are huge. I don't know what you would use them for. I think the zipper replacements would work if you are lucky enough that your broken zipper was the correct size. I would buy it again if I could order it by size instead of getting a kit with weird sizes.

Took needle nose pliers and pulled off the old zipper, used a knife to pry the new zipper open(did not want to mess up my nails LOL!) and slipped on the new zipper, pushed down to close it and done! Was the easiest thing I've ever done! I would recommend this to everyone!!

I ordered these to color my anatomy book. They do the job, but regular ole colored pencils work just as well. I would not buy this specific brand again, but will use them till they're gone.

Ordered this from the UK and it arrived in only 8 days from the UK US. It's a great brush, very good value for the price.

The reversible nozzle is a nice item. I was getting nicer pencil lines with this 0.5 mm brush than Ivwas with my previous airbrush. First time I've used a side cup too, but it does allow you to see your artwork better while painting. You can use the cup on the left or right according to preference., Also, if you want to use the Airbrush with a regular hose you'll need to buy a separate adapter.

Am a new artist (experimental, mostly acrylics and collages) and ordered the Prang crayons to use when other paints and inks aren't practical. Took them on walks and bike rides on the car-less Mackinac Island. They were easy to use and can be delightfully smeared and smudged.

I bought the tempera cakes for my 2 years old son and he just loves these. The color is completely washable, does not smell, and it is very easy to paint on paper. I recommend this item for all the people that would like to introduce the art world to their children.
