I have at least 50 Nestabilities which I love use almost daily but this time I received lemon! There was a section of the die that would not cut cleanly. I used more than a dozen sheets of paper with various weights ranging from 24 lb copy paper to 110 lb Cover stock and ran it though both my old Big Kick and new Big Shot, both with new cutting pads. I tried turning the die in different directions on the cutting platform and running it back and forth several times. I also used wax paper between the die and paper hoping it would help. One section of the die simply would not cut through the paper, the design would tear each time I tried to remove it from the die. After spending the entire day trying to make it work I returned it.

I have seen this die used and it is beautiful but mine was defective. If you order one, and it does not cut properly...don't waste your time, return it!

I love these dies, especially when layering them. The result is beautiful whether you're using this set for scrapbook pages or cards. To ensure a good cut and release, always use wax paper between the die and paper when cutting.

These are so intricate and beautiful when done. Must have patience for popping out all the holes...but the end product is super.

It was hard sometimes separating the cut out from the die. Overall, I liked it! I recommend it to all card makers.

I really wanted to leave a review about this product. I bought a few rolls of chalkboard contact paper, also from Amazon. I was uncertain if I could use liquid chalk on such a surface given the mixed reviews about chalkboards getting damaged by this product. The contact paper is of course not the same as an actual chalkboard or a surface painted with chalkboard paint, but still I couldn't find anyone willing to tell me if it would work on the contact paper. I even called the company who makes the contact paper...they didn't return my call. Really I didn't want to spend 25+ on markers that wouldn't work or would damage the contact paper. As the instructions state I tested a small area of my chalkboard contact paper. I tested several times waiting longer before erasing the chalk ink each time. It erases like a charm! It comes right off with either a slightly damp rag or windex for a larger erasing job. The only thing I did notice is that when the surface is wet you will see the outline of what you are erasing, when it dries however it is gone. Perhaps over time this may become an issue, but even if it is, the contact paper is cheap enough to replace even if I had to every few years. On the package it states can be used on actual chalkboards, it says this right on the front though per reviews I know this has not worked for many customers. I have not used it on an actual chalkboard or painted chalkboard product so I can't speak to that. Again it does say to test your area first. One really awesome thing I also learned is that it can write on smooth surface fridge fronts and wipes right off. If you have a black smooth front appliance like me, you will really loves these!

These pens will ruin your chalkboard painted wall. You can not get the imprint off. You will have to repaint. And the company agrees that they won't work on chalkboard paint on walls. Too bad they don't warn you on the package of their very expensive markers.

from Chalk Ink company:

Unless you have a very hard surface like a porcelain on steel board or a manufactured, baked surface, or a semi-gloss painted surfaceyou will always have that issue. Chalk paint is very porous and not hard so it is something that will need a regular touch up. It's the nature of the material.

When I first told people I wanted a chalkboard door on my new (ridiculously expensive) refrigerator, people thought I was crazy. What would I do about the chalk dust? Didn't I know my kids would grind bits of chalk into the floor? It would be such a mess, etc., etc. *I* knew there had to be a product on market for professional use, and this is it.

These chalk marker work like old-school paint pens you shake them up, depress the tip to let the ink flow, and then write with them. Very clean, very tidy, no dust, no smearing.

The downside is that they require a damp cloth (I like my microfiber sponge) to remove. This being said, if you have a very porous chalkboard, or one mounted on porous material (wood, particle board, drywall) it isn't ever going to come out. Hence the way-too-small manufacturer's comment at the bottom of a previous poster's comments about a "hard surface". Read the manufacturer's directions carefully and do *not* try and use these unless you're sure you have a compatible chalkboard! Sacrifice a test corner if you're not sure. My chalkboard is fused to a sheet of metal about as non-porous as you can get. And so far the chalk pens have come off just fine.

I do really like them, but since the chiseled tip breaks down quickly (at least under my kids' hands) and they're fairly expensive for the amount of ink they hold, I can't give them a five star rating. I'm currently considering mounting another magnetic chalkboard panel elsewhere in the house, just for the kids to use, and I'll probably just give them regular chalk to use it's cheaper and easier to clean. As for me? I'll keep the liquid chalk for myself ;-)

Honest reviews on Chalk Ink 6mm Classic Wet Wipe Markers, 8-Pack

If you make chalk boards for a local business, use nothing else! This product is significantly brighter than chalk. It creates clean lines for a professional appearance. As an unexpected benefit, it does not smudge. We used to have kids run their fingers down our chalkboard to mess it up, now if they ran their finger down it nothing happens. It only comes off with water. Also, I can write with one of these pens in less than half the time that chalk takes. Chalk is a child's toy. These pens mean business!

I was a bit worried that they wouldn't erase from my chalkboard paint walls, so I ordered NEOPlex Chalkboard Spray Cleaner along with it. The cleaner works great to remove the liquid chalk from my walls, and I am very happy with the way they write so clearly!

Absolutely the best fabric markers. They were fantastic for embelishing a quilting project, on clothing, and signatures on a memory quilt. The colors were true and have stayed vibrant after several washings.

I bought these markers to use with Robobox Creative Stencil & Pen Set to stencil robots onto canvas tote bags because one of the markers with my original Robobox set had fallen apart during shipping.

I had two concerns: the length and width of the tip of the markers and whether the marker would bleed if I paused while stenciling.

The tips of these markers were definitely long enough to reach through the plastic stencils. They were a little wider than the tips of the markers that came with the Robobox set so some of the fine details were lost. There was no bleeding during short pauses while stenciling. However, there was a little bleeding when the stencil was traced over and over to pick up some of the fine details.

These markers performed much better than Sharpie Fine-Tip Permanent Marker, 24-Pack Assorted Colors on canvas. The Sharpies bled heavily when there was a pause in stenciling.

One thing that I did not realize from the description of the product was that you get three twelve packs of the fabric pens so this a good deal for a group craft project.

We tried these markers during my 7 year olds birthday party. The girls all decorated pillow cases as party favors (it was a sleepover party)and they still look like new even after the abuse of 20 little girls! The colors are bright and after several washings, have not faded. There is also a wonderful selection of colors included.

I needed a classroom set of fabric markers for a project. I've used crayola fabric makers in the past with excellent results. However, for this project I need a finer tip for more detail and I didn't want the hassle of heat setting which is required with the crayola. After reading the reviews and discovering that there were 3 packs, I decided to jump on this product. The point is narrowerabout half the widththan the crayola markers; I would consider it a medium point. It's about the same as a regular "skinny" marker. It wasn't quite as narrow of a tip as I would have liked. I tried out several colors. The purple does tend to bleed. The teal is not nearly as light as what is indicated on the cap. I was pleased with all the other colors. For the price, I still think is was a good product.

These worked well on the cotton fabric I used them on. Are colorfast, and with stencils, look like print. My only issue was that a couple of them were almost dry...could just be a fluke though. All in all they were decent fabric markers, at a reasonable price.

Reviews of Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools

Customer Ratings:

Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. In this case, the thread is so cheap and poorly made that when I tried to use it with my sewing machine, the tread snapped. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing, so I tried again.... and it snapped again. After giving it the benefit of the doubt a few more times, I gave up and accepted that I had wasted money on poor quality thread.

The thread is wound onto the spool in such a way that I could not use it. Hard to explain... but, there was no place to start unwinding and when I started a thread by cutting one on the surface, it got stuck after a few turns because it was buried under other thread on the spool. The thread is of inferior quality, too.

This product is cheaply made and did not meet my expectations. I wish I wouldn't have bought them. For the price and quality I could have went to my local craft store and bought the big spools of thread and a better quality for about the same price. I would not recommend this set and I won't buy them again.

Honest reviews on Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools

The thread is not of the greatest quality. Plus there is no way to start the thread off of the spool so you have a tangled mess if you are not careful. I needed some sewing odds and ends to repair minor tears, seam rips, hem things and accomplish small sewing tasks. This was my answer for thread. It has a variety of colors and is very inexpensive so I got what I paid for and I am OK with the purchase. It fulfills my requirements, not being a seamstress or having any sewing skills beyond the beginning level.

Ordered these not knowing how detailed or great the skulls would look. They are okay for what I need them for. But they are each no more than an inch and a half to two inches big. They do not come connected to a sheet of stencils, they are all seperate, so it makes it a little more difficult to use them, but all in all they look like they are pictured.

24 Kraft Edger Scissors in Rotating Hardwood Rack Review

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program For anyone who likes to decorate and make their own cards, do scrap-booking, or other craft projects, these are a fun set of scissors. The patterns are fun, the scissors are colorful and the spinning wood rack is handsome. Depending on the paper or card stock you are cutting, and the particular pattern of scissors you are using, some of them rip or tear the material slightly if you don't cut carefully. Most of the scissors work very well, but a few don't cut so neatly. They don't seem particularly durable, but being that you have more to choose from, I'm sure this set will provide many years of good use for the artistic person.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a really cool set of scissors! Out of the 24 of them there are 5 that don't cut very well. But the rest of them work pretty good. There's a wide variety of patterns in the set and any scrapbooker will love a set of these. They are really cheaply made and probably wont hold up to heavy use but at about $1.80 a pair they are a real bargain. But with 24 to play with they should last just about anybody a long time. Having odd shaped cutting edges I don't know if they can be sharpened or not. So I think I'll see what I can do with my Tormek tool grinder to touch up the pairs that I have that wont cut very well.

I cant really recommend these for anyone that wants quality tools. Being a retired machinist I have a thing about tools being precise and do what they are supposed to do. But for the price, you get what you pay for. Several pairs of cheap disposable scissors to play with.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am thrilled with this set of craft scissors. Originally I was planning to use them for scrapbooking but now I use them for preschool Sunday School kids. Each scissor in the set has a picture on one outside edge of the pattern it cuts and the other side has the name of the pattern. At first glance, I was concerned that the blades were too far apart to cut anything but heavy paper but it was only a few minutes when I had cut cute patterns into every piece of paper within reach. They are easy to use and cut well but are safe for kids. The wooden rack is a great way to store them and the kids love the brightly colored handles and designs.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Why would anyone ever need 24 different pairs of edging scissors? The answer is "why not?" This impressive collection contains just about every edging pattern you can imagine, and the scissors are sturdily constructed, able to cut through even heavy cardstock with ease. The "lazy susan" design of the case is a nice touch. It's a great set for the crafter or scrapbooker, and safe enough for kids to use too. It's an ideal collection to share with a crafting group or classroom. I'm not sure why Amazon categorizes it as a "toy", but then again, maybe it is. There's definitely a fun factor here for kids or adults.

Bucilla Stockings always please. If an individual follows the step by step directions, the end product looks very professional. They take about a month for me to make but I go at it very slowly. I usually do the sequin work and embroidery work at the beginning in a day or two then assemble it according to Bucilla's step by step directions. I have made many of these over the years. I find that the "extra" beads and sequins and extra thread are not as generous as Bucilla used to be. Fortunately, if I run short of something, I have extras from stockings made in the past. If a person is careful, I don't think there will be a shortage of materials.

Cavallini Decorative Stickers DesTinations, Assorted Review

Customer Ratings:

You get a ton of stickers in this pack and I love the vintage designs. They are on a heavy weight paper so they seem expensive. The only drawback is they aren't that big. It was the perfect size for what I needed, but I think they'd be too small for anything bigger than a notebook.

My fiance and I are fortunate enough to have traveled to over 14 countries between us including the UK, Canada, South Africa, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and European countries such as Spain, France, and Italy. Due to our love of travel, we wanted to incorporate that into our wedding theme. Although some of the stickers were smaller than expected, there are many to choose from and the strong tin will help me to stay organized. For extra variety, we ordered the "destinations" and "the vintage maps" from Cavallini and Co. Also by ordering the two together, I was able to avoid the shipping cost; great for a person on a budget! We're using the stickers for luggage tags as place cards for our 200 guests. Each table has it's own "destination" reflecting our fond memories and love of the cities. I'm sure that they will be a big hit, and I love that the stickers reflected some of our fondest cities around the world. If you've been bit by the travel bug, love the world in general or are a bride looking for the perfect accent to your vintage travel themed wedding, these stickers are for you!

These stickers are pretty small, but their design is so awesome. They don't adhere to things very well, and I had to use a glue stick to keep them stuck on even paper! They worked for what I needed them for, though, so I'm happy. But just know you may need to "help" them stick onto things.

Honest reviews on Cavallini Decorative Stickers DesTinations, Assorted

These are much smaller than the "luggage labels" by the same company, but these come in a collectible tin. The quality is really good. They have a "cloth-like" texture (they are paper) and have a sense of vintage. For best effect pair these up with a set of vintage postal ink stamps and stamp them ("Cancelled") to make them look like the item you are stickering (package, for example) has actually traveled all over the world. Some of these may even have little fill in areas, as they are reminiscent of old tags (I have purchased several of these so it is a crap shoot). Definitely worth the price.
