I have kept these laminating sheets on hand for years since finding them in stock at our local Sam's Club. I have used them since I was student teaching in college. Now that I'm homeschooling my own daughter, I wouldn't be without them! They're perfect for laminating visual aids, flash cards...you name it. They're durable and make your teaching aids hold up to years of wear and tear. I only wish Sam's Club would carry them in the store again.

First of all, let me say that the communications with the company were excellent. When describing the type of laminating film I wanted to order, I emailed the company with a description of what I was currently using (laminating film with a paper backing attached to the sticky side of the laminating film) I was told that the product they had was what I was looking for. It wasn't! The "dry" laminating film was just that dry on both sides with no paper backing and no sticky side.
I contacted the customer service department, told them what the problem was, and was told I would receive a credit for the product and that they did not have any of the laminating film I was looking for. I received a notification of the credit for the laminating film, minus the shipping and handling charges, a couple of week later and am waiting for the credit to come through on our credit card statement before I ask for the S/H to be credited also.
I would suggest that anyone ordering this product make sure they know ahead of time exactly what they are going to be receiving, or ask a lot of questions and either submit samples or ask for samples of the film before ordering.
Again, I would rate this company's response to my emails about their product from Good to Very Good but knowledge about what they are selling vs. what is being described to them as less than the rating given above.

I dislike intensely rulers that don't start at zero. This one has about 1/8" at either end before the measurements start. I guess this is just a lazy way of making rulers to low tolerances. The model it relaced "R590-15 was exactly 15" long and started and ended on the mark. Just can't see this with the picture, so I ordered it without knowing this.

I too was having a ton of problems with the lower thread looping under the fabric. It was very frustrating. Finally I figured out how to fix it. Refer to the owner's manual section on inserting the bobbin for photos. What you want to do is drop in the bobbin, and pull the thread through the little slit like it says. But, you have to make sure that the thread goes into the slot in the "tension-adjusting spring" (this is hard to see; pull up the plastic tongue that forms the slit a little with your fingernail to see where it is), although it should go in by itself, then YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BOBBIN SO IT DOESN'T MOVE AND PULL THE THREAD GENTLY TO SEAT IT INTO THE SPRING. That is the key. After I made sure the thread was all the way in, like magic my lower thread was working perfectly.
Aside from that I am happy with the machine. I especially like the needle threader and think that the top thread is very easy to thread. Now that I figured out the lower thread issue, I want to experiment with all the stitches! I wish the presser foot lever was on the back instead of the inside, but oh well. Be careful taking off the tape because I ripped some off and it pulled up a little plastic on the green part of the machine.
The owner's manual IS hard to read. The Spanish is right after the English, and sometimes they repeat the same instructions twice, and it's not laid out well. It is manageable, though.
They make you think you have to buy special bobbins, but on the box it says you can replace them with class 15, although I have not tried that yet. The accessories seem quite acceptable, except I wish they had given you some ball point needles for knits and stretch rather than just more sharp points.
Overall, it sews fine once you get everything threaded right, and I've made several tops already. Definitely good for a beginner or someone who doesn't want to do anything too fancy.

Paasche Anodized Aluminum Handle For VL And H Series Airbrushes

Unknown
on Wednesday, September 16, 2015
I'm glad I got this handle for my VL series Paasche airbrush. The handle is easier to clean than the plastic handle that the airbrush comes with. It also gives the airbrush a little more heft in the back which makes it balance better in your hand. The cutouts also fit nicely in my hand, I have rather beefy hands, giving me a more secure grasp.
Janome Sewing Embroidery Machine Bobbins 10ct Pack New

on Monday, August 31, 2015
I am a novice sewer and just bought a new Janome Magnolia sewing machine from amazon.com. A couple of weeks into my sewing projects, I realized that the four bobbins that came with the machine just weren't going to cut it. I couldn't find Janome bobbins on any of the typical sewing websites so I bit the bullet and bought a couple of sets of these knowing that I probably could have found them cheaper at a bricks 'n mortar store if I had spent time trying to find them. But now I have 20 bobbins that fit my machine and I can work on lots of new projects without having to worry that I will run out!

Moccasins are great. Turned my feet yellow first couple times I wore them but that faded. Lacing frays a bit so needs to be knotted well. But you can't beat the price. I enjoyed the dyi aspect of lacing them together... You really have to make sure you get every hole.

Michley SS-602 Sew & Sew Electronic Sewing Machine with 60

List Price: $129.99

I really wanted to give this machine a fair shake since the other Michley sewing products here have an average rating by customers. This is *very* light in weight, easy to carry, and will fit in any universal sewing machine case with room for extra accessories. Aside from two metal bobbins, two small spools of thread (black and white), the accompanying loaded white spool and bobbin, an extra needle, a needle threader, and maybe a screwdriver--this machine comes with nothing else extra. By extra I mean stuff like extra pressing feet, seam ripper, and mini brush duster.
The good points of this machine is that it does have a drop in bobbin, you can drop the feed dogs, has a reverse stitch lever, free arm, option to use a hand switch to run the machine or use the foot pedal, and there are numerous stitches to enjoy. The button hole process is 4 step; completely manual. There is no buttonhole foot.
When using the bobbin winder, the machine needle bobs up and down while you are winding (the winding is slow in comparison to other machines). The machine itself is noisy to me. It wobbles while in use.
I tried to hem a pair of Carhart casual work pants, which were made of a thick cotton/polyester blend. On several tries I was unable to completely penetrate the fabric and the needle bent (didn't break, but arced). When I used the hand wheel to give it a 'start' before using the foot pedal--the needle went up and as soon as it came back down...it bent. I had considered changing the needle to a higher quality one but after 5 tries I gave up out of frustration and went to my Sears Janome. I pondered how it was possible for the sturdy folded test fabric with sample stitches that came with the machine actually happen.
In short, this is a machine I might consider recommending for children, or those that would be sewing light fabrics. Perhaps it was just my luck I may have had a defective machine but it seemed to run as it should just not for me or my expectations. I would be too embarrassed to give this to an adult with sewing experience.
This machine was a few dollars more than the 'Brother XL2600I Sew Advance Sew Affordable 25-Stitch Free-Arm Sewing Machine' which is also available on Amazon. I sent the Michley back, bought the Brother, and am much happier.

This Westcott stainless steel ruler seemed to be made well, but the cork base on the back is cheap and has started to come off with minimal use. I especially noticed this when I tried to remove the made in China sticker from the back of the ruler. For now, the ruler will be good enough to use for work tasks.

I'm a grown-up who loves toys and gadgets. Thought this looked interesting. Yeah, I read the "cheap plastic, too small, frustrating, etc), I'm also a "see for myself" type. Glad I am, because I am having an absolute blast.
It is a toy, not made for production. It takes a while to get started and understand what it and you are doing. I ripped it out about 3X before I got successful results.
The directions and pics are not as good as they could be, but you can figure it out after studying the movements-don't worry it's not calculus.
I wouldn't recommend for a child unless an adult goes through the whole thing first, since I could see the frustration it would create, but don't worry adults, you do not NEED any prior knitting knowledge it's that easy.
I would suggest not using the yarn that comes with it until later. Pick up some regular ol yarn and use that first. That way you can see what's going on. The fuzzy stuff will obscure your view and be more difficult to rip out. One other thing, remember, it is plastic, use a light touch or it will break.
For what it's worth, there are similar ones on the market-they're all basically the same. I preffered this one because it felt more substanital and it sits upright. I can set it on my lap while doing it and the results caome out the back. The others were like buckets that need to be used on a flat surface where the knitting comes out the bottom with little clearance so you have to contstantly adjust the tension, not difficult per se, just more to pay attention to.
Give it a try, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I am having a good time turning out swatches.

I needed a color cup for my Iwata Revolution HP-SAR to convert from bottle feed to cup feed read somewhere that the Badger cups would work ... they do. This 350 cup was a perfect fit for the Iwata. The cup's quality is outstanding as you would expect from Badger. The angled pipe allows you to adjust for level in different brush attitudes. I'm pleased with the purchase.

Well, I have used this product with more than 100 t-shirt and I have no complains. After my 3 first big trials... a really mess... It is easy to transfer (once you get used with the process), it is a fast process, and the image stay for a long time on the fabric. Of course, the transfer will not last forever, but after 100+ washing cycles, all of my t-shirt still are in PERFECT condition. I use soft soap, and a soft washing machine cycle. The most important words here, are: VERY high temp iron (mine is one with 1400 watts), very VERY high pressure when ironing (I sweat a lot in this process) and the fabric must be as flat and firm as possible (porous fabrics are not the best, as well as stretching ones like cotton-lycra are not a good option because when stretching, the image breaks).
One last note: it is for white fabric. If you try it over other color, the image's colors will be different from intended. If the fabic is dark colored, you will not see anything after trasferring. This is because the WHITE color of the image after ironing comes from the fabric, so if within the image are white and shiny teeth, and the fabric is dark, the teeth will be black, as well as all the other light colors of the images.
