Discount Thread and Bobbin Kit- 64 Pieces

Thread and Bobbin Kit- 64 Pieces
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
If you expected a large quantity of thread for under $5, I've got a bridge just for you! But if you are in need of a lot of colors for small projects, then this is a deal with 32 different colors to choose from. As far as the bobbins, remember that some sewing machines are quite selective as to what works, so these generic bobbins might not work.

I was hoping this was a kit type box but comes in a small box with cardboard spools and the box is well packed until you remove any thing.

Good for starter kit

Lots of colors, but the spools are very small. Great for a starter, which is just what we needed. Thanks!

Honest reviews on Thread and Bobbin Kit- 64 Pieces

This item turned out to be much more flimsy and cheap thank I was expecting. The selection of colors was fine. However, not a lot of thread on the spools and the bobbins are spun sloppy. In addition, the shipping was almost as much as the kit.

This product that was delivered after a long wait is of very poor quality.

The thread snaps easily. The packaging looks good in the photograph, but the tray is made of very flimsy plastic unsuitable for regular use. I have to store the threads and bobbins in a separate box which makes colour matching with the bobbins difficult. Overall, not a reliable product.

Copic Markers Multiliner 0.05 Black Pigment Based Ink
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

If you're looking for a pen that produces really stark, heavy lines, look elsewhere. This pen produces really gentle, subtle lines, and the ink appears to be lighter than expected. Having said that, I LOVE this pen. Over the years, it has become my go-to pen for all my shading. I make black ink art, and as anyone who uses ink knows, you have to be careful about shading with it. With this pen (which I never use for heavy lines or outlining) you can shade in the most fantastic way.

Really great!

These are hardcore pens for person with alot of interast and investmen in fine detail hand drawn art. Having said that I didnt buy them for me however the recipeient, my mother loves these things and you cant do any better. They are super expensive locally 5-7 bucks plus tax so when I saw these I orderd 5. She couldnt be happier, if you are looking for the Multiline Inking Pens ultra fine these are the ticket and they shipped very fast and at a reasonable rate. A tip however is they combine shipping so order a bunch : One shipped for like 2.39 but I orderd 5 and it wnet up like 10 cents total. Couldnt be happier

Clover Kanzashi Flower Maker Pointed Petal, Large
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

The instructions and template are easy to follow. I chose old kimono silk to make my first flower, which was a challenge due to its slippery nature. I recommend using a regular cotton for the first project.Use a strong thread, such as beading thread and consider using a backing stabilizer for thin fabrics. You'll have a completed flower in just minutes.

This only makes one petal of the total flower, so you are going to put some work into making a finished product. I planned to use these to put on Christmas gifts, but not sure if I have time now with just a month away from the Holidays. I may save these to use on other gifts later.

Like all Clover products, this is a tool that will simplify your projects. When I teach classes and show my embellished projects, I hear over and over, "How did you do that?" The students are really thrilled to hear how fun and easy it is to duplicate my results with all the clever Clover tools.

Honest reviews on Clover Kanzashi Flower Maker Pointed Petal, Large

Does a wonderful job of making really cute fabric flowers. Read the directions carefully. And be aware that it uses a fair amount of fabric for a small flower.

I've ordered *several* of these kanzashi flower makers, so I'll be basically copy/pasting my reviews on them since I feel the same about all of theme.

I got these to use with fabric ordered from spoonflower.com and one thing to note is that all of these are VERY small, I'd say that your design needs to be micro levels of tiny in order to be noticeable on the petals. The large, however, is much larger than the small, and looks pretty nice with a small (not too busy) pattern on it.

The patterns are all very straightforward to use, the holes are numbered, and if you take your time to gather the fabric nicely when you're pulling the thread, they're lovely!

I made mine using cotton poplin fabric, but I also attempted some using a cotton with some stretch and a brocade fabric that also had some stretch. They come out best with the basic cotton poplin very little fraying and the fabric folds very well. The fabrics with stretch, though, were much less cooperative, and want to fray WAY more while being worked with.

I've also tried just hand-folding these, and it takes me significantly longer to do. Not to mention the results aren't nearly as uniform.

But, I make flowers using these templates, glue them with E6000 to a small (about 1" diameter) circle of felt, cover a button in the same or a coordinating fabric (3/4" buttons work nicely with the small, 5/8" for x-small, and 1" for large), sew that in the middle after the glue is dried, and then attach the finished flower to a brooch, headband, or necklace. Using strong adhesives and a high-strength hand quilting thread, I've yet to have any of my crafts come apart!

If you're thinking of picking these up, they're fairly cheap and fun to use. Generally, I prefer the 5 petal flowers to the 10, but you can mix petals for different looks as well.

I couldn't find anything this small for the price so I bought it. I only needed this for a single job and the bits kept their edge and when done I had to throw that drill in the trash. You will have to get a small check to hold it because a regular 3/8 drill chuck will not tighten on them.

This stuff is great for my card making. I've used it to lightly go over a background for just a hint of shimmer, along the edges of paper roses, and even to completely change the color of a piece of paper to make it fit my purposes. Easy to use (think eye shadow). I don't like the little balls for applying it so use cotton swabs. Using actual eye shadow applicators would be a good tool too.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I love to do craft projects and add pearls as accent pieces. These are quality glass pearls. I have both the pastel and jewel tone bead box set as well as their different color packages. They have unique colors at good prices and shipping is usually 10 days. These are AB quality and shine, no chips or cracks. I also glue them together to make pearl flowers with the 3mm string pearls between. I saw the video shabby chic pearl flowers on you tube. When I make kissing balls, I glue matching pearls inside the silk flower and as accents in floral arrangements. Of coarse, I love sea shells and pearls together also. Anyway, these pearls are just beautiful as a vase filler and to make jewelry. Love the variety of unique colors!!

These punches are so adorable. It is so easy to use and even my 2 year old can punch using this puncher. The little punches are easy to load and take out. The kids had a blast with them. They were making borders and playing with the little punched out animals. This is a pretty neat tool and a lot punches to choose from. We have a great time every time I take it out.

This kit is a great addition for anyone interested in arts and crafts. The handle is light, and punches the design perfectly. The kit includes 36 different designs and it has a great variety. I used this for decorating the edges of my scrapbook, and I also made confetti for a party because that is about the size of the punch out itself. The dies are easy to get in and out and cut the shapes cleanly without tearing the paper.

I was so excited by the idea of creating projects with this set. The concept is good, but the plastic just couldn't cut it. (excuse the pun).

-A few of the punches shut together and stuck.

-A few of the punches literally broke into pieces. (The plastic casing fell off the metal punch).

Cheap plastic is a waste of time & product. Manufacturing needs to go back to the days of durable materials and get away from the heavy dependency to cheap plastic. Most people will pay more for quality products that will last for years of use.

I love that it comes in a carrying case to keep it all organized! I too like this set for my crafts. I mostly use it for creating borders on my cards and scrapbook pages.

Royal and Langnickel are not like the pictures at all. The colors provided in the set are not true to the original and the blending is even worse. They are not real looking and nothing like the picture shows. Some of the paints are so thin you have to glob it on and it still won't cover the numbers. Every royal Langnickel painting we have done we have strongly disliked the outcome. I will never buy this brand name again. I recommend Paint works by dimensions or Plaid which are much nicer kits and very true to the picture.

I was very pleased with the quality of these pastels. They have a buttery soft consistency that lays down beautifully. I purchased this set of light blues as my "workhorse" colors for skies as I've discovered I use this range of colors a LOT for the base in my skies (working lighter and darker around them). They are similar in quality and handling as Unison but at a more affordable price and I would highly recommend them.

I must warn you that there is something mood altering about this product.

After having a terrible experience of public rage and hostility directed at me with the AMSCAN Face Paint, 1-Ounce, Black during a screening of "Django Unchained" in a theatre in Oakland, California. I decided to try the Red at a dog fight on "the Rez" outside of Tucson, Arizona. Same thing happened. People around me got intensely angry and made credible threats of violence to my person.

I was thinking of trying the white, but given how much people already hate mimes, I think I will refrain from using AMSCAN Face Paints further.

Their website states that this is a PGA-tested and approved pen for golf balls. After 12 holes the lines I marked on my golf ball were nearly worn off. However, they did not smear. Sharpies tend to smear on golf balls. So the lines were still visible just really faint after 12 holes. I wouldn't recommend these for golf balls.

Here is what the Sakura website says about these markers:

"Identi-pen receives PGA Tour Partners Seal of Approval! 2500 golfers from the PGA Tour magazine, Partners, overwhelmingly approved Identi-pen in product testing. The results of the review will be published in the Sept./Oct 2008 issue of the magazine."

Then it goes on to list a bunch of anonymous quotes from PGA members who swear by the pen and state that it doesn't smear or fade. Definitely fades. If I can figure out how to put up a picture or a video onto this review I will.

I particularly like the black pen. Am still trying to pinpoint how archival they are. They seem long-lasting from what I can tell. I believe that the ink is dye rather than pigment.

The colors are wonderfully vibrant. Note: the purple pen seems the most likely to bleed under water-based based brush-on acrylic varnish. The other colors seem to hold up fine under that kind of varnish.
