I used this to waterproof 12 horse blankets in my washing machine. All the blankets look wonderful and are completely waterproof. It was so easy and saved me hundreds of dollars.

Unisex Mannequin
List Price: $23.92
Sale Price: $8.95
Today's Bonus: 63% Off
This mannequin is very nice for artist reference. I was excited when I got mine, however I am disappointed. The hips are not full range of motion. They only move front to back. So posing your mannequin in a fighting stance, or doing a side kick, or sitting on a barbie horse (what my sister tried to do), it just doesn't work.
The hips have the same range of motion as a lego figure, the mannequin however does have bendable knees and ankles
(TRADEMARKED) STACK S12 Professional Guillotine DeskTop Paper
This low priced cutter does the job. It can easily handle an inch high stack of paper, thin or thick stock. It has adequate safety features with an auto locking lever (the handle points up the back (29") when locked so you cannot store the unit under a shelf. I managed to cut my finger on the very sharp blade while cleaning the shipping oil off with a baby wipe. The paper-holder is very secure but requires cranking down. This is not a problem but is time consuming so this unit is not for mass production use. The base is very sturdy and operating the unit is easy. It is made in China and the instruction manual reflects this. Luckily, you wont need an instruction manual. Practice on some scrap paper to learn how tight to set the paper holder and how to place the width block. My only disappointment was the lack of metric measurements on the base plate. The picture and write-up on Amazon indicated English and Metric measures but the unit only has inches. Good for cutting paper down and for trimming the ragged edge after binding. Best for low volume use. Very sturdy.
Embrilliance ALPHATRICKS Embroidery Machine Software
Let me start with the 2 things I did not like. 1. I had to hunt down the instructions for using it & 2. I wish I had control in adjusting the size of the fonts prior to importing them. That done, I think this program is fantastic. I had tried the 'place the letters on my own' game & it did not even come close to working. Alphatricks has taken care of all that for me. If you yearn for greater freedom in your choice of fonts with the ease of importing them into your own font program then get Aphaltricks right away.
Cuttlebug Adapter C New Packaging, 6 by 13-Inch
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $14.59
Today's Bonus: 27% Off
I love this adapter. I use it with the Big Kick so that I don't have to keep turning the pages on the platform. I use the plates that come with the Big Kick for embossing folders and Cuttlebug dies... and for Spellbinder dies, SU thin dies and other thin metal dies, I use this C Adapter platform and it works beautifully! I took this to class and let the ladies there use it and they all liked it. A few of them wanted to know where I got it.
C-Line Clear Shop Ticket Holder with Reinforced Edges, 11 x

These are good quality and the reinforced metal grommet makes them last longer than those without. Amazon's picture is not correct though. These are the "landscape" shop ticket holders with the grommet on the long edge.
UPDATE:Okay, they fixed the picture finally.
ComposiMold-LT Reusable Mold Making Material, 4 Ounces
I really like the fact that this is reusable. I've gotten fair results, but be very careful about causing bubbles because it's very hard to get rid of them, it's really viscous. The bubbles don't just float to the surface and pop, but kind of stay put and cling. I've heard that using this in a vacuum chamber is very bad news and will foam up and spill over. It has a very low melting point so they don't recommend using any molding material that generates heat because it will deform the mold. I've used resin in it a few times and it hasn't been a problem yet, but you can also pop it in the freezer for a while. I can get rid of bubbles if I bake it in the oven for a few hours, but then it dries out. I've added water to thin it, but it seems to be losing its integrity. I do like it and will continue to use it, but it could be improved.

I can't review the item yet, but I will review the shipping and then revise the review later if warranted. So far, I'm not impressed. I ordered this product on May 24 expecting it to arrive in, at the latest, a week. Ten days would be really pushing it. Nowhere on this description does it indicate that there is an extended wait for this product. I just now checked on my order, because I thought it was strange that I hadn't gotten it yet, only to see that the delivery window for this product is somewhere between JUNE 20 and JULY 9!!!! It has shipped, but there is no tracking information available for it so I have no idea what's going on or why it's taking such an exorbitant amount of time to get here what do they have to do, mine the silver yet????? I can only assume that this product is coming from Hong Kong or someplace similar, even though I did not see mention of that anywhere on the listing. I always steer well clear of things coming from outside the country that take that long to arrive unless it's something so unique and special that it is worth the long, long wait. Being an Amazon Prime member, I admit I'm spoiled as far as getting items quickly is concerned, but this is outrageously long. There should be a disclaimer in the listing, in my opinion, so you at least know what you're in for as far as the wait is concerned.
I'll go elsewhere for my grommets, thank you so much. They're not THAT unique of a product that I can't easily find them in a hundred other places if I put myself out a little bit. I don't want to wait until possibly after July 4 to make my beads!!!!! Beware, if you're in a hurry, or even wanting these in a reasonable amount of time, because you're not getting them from Dreambell.

Thanks to Amazon, I was able to locate and purchase the replacement blades.
The product is as expected, of good quality, and works perfectly.
Studio Designs Vintage Drafting Table - Rustic Oak
List Price: $249.99
Sale Price: $142.59

The dimensions on this drafting table say 24x36x45. Turns out they are actually 24x36x34. I don't know about you but an 11-in difference in the height dimensions are rather significant. I have a stand up desk at home and it is 44 -in at the front and 48-in in the back. So, when I saw this was 45-in high, I thought great! Turns out at 34-in high, it's a perfect standup desk for a 5-yr old.
There were some reviews suggesting missing parts, etc. I didn't get that far. Turns out one of the supports for the semicircular tilt wheel was not even cut through the wood so you couldn't get the piece in there if you wanted. Devious of them to only drill this half way knowing you were just about done. I'll bet they're still laughing about this in some Chinese factory.
I just can't believe the dimensional specs say 45-in high and it's 11-in too short. And, of course, there is no way to raise the height. It's fixed.
After an hour of work I now have to take it all apart and stick it back in the box and ship it back to Amazon. I'm really getting bummed with having to send a bunch of made in China stuff back to Amazon. The return policy is great but how do I recover 2 hours of completely wasted time.
I'd give this zero stars but that's not allowed.
Walking Foot P60454 - Janome, Kenmore
I ordered this for a quilting class . It worked great on my 10 year old Kenmore machine. Since sears no longer makes the machines I was hoping this would work. And it did. The shipment was very timely,.
InspirationzStore Mustache Collection - May the Stache be
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 16% Off
I bought this after a long and frustrating search for a mustache themed square for my quilt. I really wanted something that said, "I mustache you a question: Will you be my special lady?" But I guess this works. However, I thought I might first try pinning it to the back of my jacket--just to give everyone a hearty chuckle. In one visit to the mall I was high-fived by a guy in a Yoda shirt, questioned by the cops about the location of my "stash", and then some guy grabbed by backside. So, I'm torn. It fills a much needed space in my quilt project, but also seems to electrify people. I guess I can order two if they're not sold out.
SINGER DF150G Adjustable Dress Form
List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $89.99
Today's Bonus: 31% Off
This dress form is very convenient. The multiple dials give you a lot of control in getting the right measurements, and the fabric-covered surface lets you pin materials to the form.
However, there is one major drawback. You can't use the form to create tight-fitting tops or dresses, because the chest shape is not true to life! In real life, breast width transitions gradually from top to bottom, but at the bottom it cuts sharply in where the breast ends and the rib cage begins (under the cup). On this dress form though, the breasts thin out gradually on the underside as well, making the ribcage in that area disproportionately wide. With the waist and breast measurements set exactly to my own, it is *impossible* to even put my bra on the form!
It would be great for loose shirts and dresses, but keep in mind that the chest area is messed up.
CadFlex Black Heat Transfer Material - 20" x 5.5 Yds *Perfect
This stamping vinyl textiles is of very good quality. Particularly I am using cotton-print. It is very useful because the color black is easy combination. I recommend it.
European Style Silver Charm Bracelet For Most Major Charm Beads
This is the third Pandora-like bracelet that I've ordered. The first had a barrel-like snap closure that was difficult to open. The second was touted as "silver" but wasn't. This one was long enough-9" (I usually wear an 8") but you have to leave enough for what the charms take up. And it had a claw clasp which is easier to open and close without help. Also, the end unscrews to allow the charms in but it prevents them from slipping off.
Vintaj 1-Piece Clover Petal Decorative Filigree, 59mm
I was thrilled to find the "Vintaj" line on Amazon. I guess I should have kept an eye on the shipping charges but because it was Amazon I didn't think the charges would be that high. The order was split between 3 vendors and third vendor charged shipping. The shipping charge was almost as much as the products, the products were $28.01 and the shipping $25.23. None of the items were very heavy, 4 small jewelry parts, with the exception of a 4x4" rubber block which weighs about 14 oz.
All in all the jewelry parts are wonderful but the shipping charge was exorbitant and I won't order from that vendor through Amazon again.
