The Janome Binder Foot works great and saves lots of time and frustration when adding bias tape binding. The video on Janome's site is very helpful in learning how to use the foot and there are also some videos on You Tube that are helpful. I used a zig-zag stitch to sew the binding. You can also use a straight stitch. This foot worked on straight as well as curve edges. You do need to go slow on curved edges. I would definitely recommend if you are attaching single fold binding.

I bought this with photography in mind to stand a 12" Star Wars figure on (Boba Fett) and since the figure is a little finicky once posed this allows me to rotate the figure without actually touching it (thereby changing the pose or position of accessories, so carefully and painstakingly positioned) and allows me to take advantage of different angles of light. Works great as a photography tool in that regard!

ALEX® Toys - Young Artist Studio Pin Ball Painter 164W

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $22.00
Sale Price: $13.90
Today's Bonus: 37% Off

Pinball Painter is a toy that combines paint and balls to encourage the creation of artwork in a slightly less then imaginative, yet fun way. With Pinball Painter, kids do not need to think about their own way to create a work of art. They just sit back, launch balls across a sheet of paper, and let the device create the work for them.

Pinball Painter is a reasonably fun toy and most kids will like flicking the small balls and watching the designs they create. All you do is place a few drops of different colored paints on the balls and/or on the paper, then flick the balls across a sheet of paper by placing each ball into a holder and then pulling back and releasing the plastic tab beneath. The balls come into contact with the paper and release some of the paint sporadically, creating a random work of art in the process.

My girls seem to like this artistic toy and they had fun making the works of art, but it doesn't take long to notice some of the potential problems with this toy. One is the potential for making a mess. The paint is easily washable, but is far too runny. It doesn't stay in place very well and when it transfers itself to the paper, it is still likely to run, which can ruin an otherwise interesting design when the paper is removed. Other issues I have are with the small plastic ballsthey are easily lost, due to their sizeand the lack of colors. Primary colors are all you get and while this is a nice start, other, fancier shades would have been more fun.

Pinball Painter is good for its encouragement of artistic creation and it's a decent toy overall that can produce some interesting works of art. A child doesn't really have to use his/her imagination with an artistic toy such as this, and that can be both good and bad. The product is a tad overpriced and it does have some notable flaws, but it is still a good way to pass the time and kids who love art will enjoy it very much.

GBC 3230 Electric Paper Punch, 2 Or 3 Hole, 24 Sheet - 7704270

List Price: $129.00

I work in a law firm and use this punch on a regular basis. I purchased this item at the end of 2010 and thus far have had no problems.

The instructions say that it will punch 24 sheets of unstapled paper. I find that this is perfectly true. Luckily, it can only fit around 24 pieces in the slot for punch so I've only had the punch jam twice (when I somehow managed to get a few extra sheets in there). While not perfectly silent, it's not the loudest model I have worked with and it is minimally distracting in a work environment. Often, the sound it makes almost seems as if the punch is straining which caused some alarm the first few times I used it. I've since found that while it happens pretty regularly, there has never been any jams or problems associated with the device when this happens.

There is a manual switch at the top if you wish to go from three hole punch to two hole punch. Beware that when you two hole punch, you are NOT aligning the paper with the edge of the device. Instead, there is a line painted partway down the slot to which you would align your paper. While I do not find this to be a huge problem, it does render a few tiny inconsistencies in where the holes a place due to human error.

The holes for either setting are set quite close to the edge of the paper, similar to the location of holes for pre-punched paper. This is not as far in as a manual punch would make them but I find this to be of benefit as that there are more documents I can punch without taking out vital pieces of text.

Also, beware punching stapled documents. This machine is easily powerful enough to go through the staples themselves, which I can imagine will prematurely dull the punches.

Two times I have had the device act as if it was not working. The power switch was on, it was plugged in and I would push the button with no answering motion or sound. While I am still not certain why the problem occurs, I found that moving the punch to a more stable, flat surface would often fix the issue.

Overall, I find it to be a great device. I wish it punched more papers but for the price and the flexibility, I really cannot complain.

Laminating Film; 25 in x 250 Ft; 3 Mil Thickness

Customer Ratings:

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.

Sakura 38552 4-ml Tank Koi Water Color Brush, Large

Customer Ratings:

I purchased these brushes as cheaper replacements for my Pentel brand water brush. While they are fine and work alright, they are nowhere near the quality of water brush I would like to own. The water is difficult to expel from the handle. Squeezing doesn't release any liquid and sometimes my brush tip gets dry while there is still pigment on it, ruining whatever I'm doing. Considering these were just meant to be for watercolor sketching and not real paintings, this can be fixed enough not to ruin my picture, but it really upsets me that I can't control water flow.

I would purchase these water brushes again if I had no other option. The brushes still beat lugging around my old inflatable water bucket and my plastic collapsible cup, but they're not as good as the Pentel brushes.

EK Cutterpede Tools, Scoring Blade Shuttle

Customer Ratings:

I love my cutterpede, and it always works well for me. The scoring blade makes a really clean looking score on all types of paper. The only drawback to using this scoring blade is that it's a bit of a hassle to change it out and then change back to the regular blade when making cards.

Iwata-Medea Eclipse HP CS Dual Action Airbrush Gun / Gravity Feed

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $168.95

Today's Bonus: 18% Off

This is the best gun out there. A friend of mine purchased a "similar" one for $50 on another site and when it was delivered it was not even close to the quality of this one. It costs a little more than some but can be used daily without an problems. I poor a little water into the gun and blow it out after each use for a short term cleaning. Once a week I input a cleaner into the gun and blow it out to really clean out any gunk that may be hidding inside the needles.

Most importantly, I would purchase the recommended brushes to clean. DO NOT USE TOWELS OR PAPER PRODUCTS TO CLEAN. The tiny fibers will come off and can clog the needle. You can't get them out and will have to replace your needles.

Definitely recommend this product!!!

SINGER Factory Serviced 7258 Stylist 100-Stitch Computerized

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this sewing machine after reading many reviews, and it is living up to my expectations AND THEN SOME!

The manual is well written, straight forward, easy to follow, and the supplied DVD simplified things even further. I was up and sewing with this machine in a matter of minutes, and it has worked flawlessly since purchasing it about a month ago. It has 100 built-in stitches, in which each of the preset settings work great just punch in the number of the desired stitch, which are all located on the face of the machine. The button-hole attachment is simple to use and works great, too. This machine does not have built-in stitches to monogram numbers and initials. So, if that is a desire, then you want to search for a different model. If you do not need to stitch numbers and initials, this machine, so far, is proving to be a great purchase!

I purchased this a few months back and just recently starting exploring and playing. I usually don't write reviews but thought it would be extremely useful to pass on information that I learned while watching youtube videos and googling about this cart. You do not have to purchase a scoring tip. Granted at this time I have no done every single box but the multiple ones I have done so far I found a little trick. Turn your blade setting down to "2" and your pressure to "low". Load mat and select "shift" and the box you would like to cut. This will score your lines for you. After it's finished scoring, do not remove. Hit "load mat" again and it will reset to the original spot. Turn your blade back to cutting depth (I used 6) being careful not to move the blade carriage and your pressure back up (I use high). Select the box to be cut and it will then cut your lines. When it's finished you should have a box cutout as well as score lines! Hope this helps someone out! Apart from spending money on a scoring tip that isn't necessary this will also save the hassle of having to keep changing out blades.

SewPro SP-402 QuickStitch Sewing Machine

Customer Ratings:

After considerable research, we decided to get this sewing machine for our 9-year old daughter. We feel this is the best low-cost sewing machine for the money. Although many of the components are plastic, the machine is sturdy and well made. It includes a foot-pedal, does not require batteries, and closely resembles the basic features and shape of a traditional $100+ sewing machine. I only give this item four stars because there is no light.

After helping our daughter select the proper thread and tension adjustment, she has made several hats, skirts, and so on. We have also found that no matter how cheap or expensive a sewing machine is, there are going to be problems if it is your first time at sewing. Many people don't realize that there is a fair amount of knowledge and skill required to make ANY sewing machine stitch properly. If you can't get your sewing machine to stitch properly it is most likely tension setting, thread selection, etc..

Hope this helps !

Janome DC5100 Computerized Sewing Machine

I have been trying this machine out for 2 weeks now and I'm in LOVE!! I have owned Brothers, Singers & Vikings over the last 30 years and this is the quietest, smoothest machine I've ever owned. Plenty of power! I was looking to upgrade but couldn't afford the high price of a new machine from a local sew 'n' vac store. I sew & sell online, and my former Viking just couldn't sew evenly through several thicknesses of fabric & interfacing, plus I was Constantly having to adjust the tension. I sew purses and cases so was constantly changing thicknesses just in one seam! This machine automatically adjusts to the thickness NEVER misses a beat-never phased, and is SOOoo quiet! I love it!

I was a bit scared at first because I've never sewn with a computerized machine but it's EASY! The difference between the old manual typewriter and an electric or a computer of today ... It's phenomenal!

Comes with Many attachments and the auto thread is great! Fast shipping with Amazon. No complaints Totally happy!
