I bought this vinyl with hopes that it would work for a t-shirt project and I'm very happy with the results! I was nervous at first since there were no reviews but decided to buy it anyway and give it a whirl. When the vinyl arrived it came with instructions for using the vinyl with a professional press iron machine. This is why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. I wish it would have come with instructions on using it with a regular household iron. I emailed the seller and they suggested I use highest heat, a hard surface, and longer amount of time. I was able to cut the vinyl with the cricut. Then I laid a pillow case on a hard table surface, put my shirt on top, put my vinyl where where I wanted it (shiny side up), covered it with parchment paper, and pressed my iron down on it for 30 seconds. Perfect results! So excited and can't wait to do more!

I consider myself an amateur framer and as such I was getting tired of constantly have to find the right mat board for the right frame. Well now I can cut them myself thanks to the Logan Cutter. Now personally, I wish it was all metal such as aluminum or such for the price but overall I cannot complain. It's solid, the parts all fit well, and even any completely non-mechanically inclined individual can put this product together easily and quickly. It's use is fairly straight-forward too. I was cutting mats within 5 minutes of putting it together and though my first one came out a little bit off I had the hang of it after one failed attempt. Overall, I highly recommend this product and you do get what you pay for which is a solid very good cutting board! FYI, it's easy to take back apart once your done for storage too. I just used the box it shipped in.

I bought a couple of these to see if they would be good for storing small Lego parts. At first, they seemed ideal: They had a variety of storage configurations, with two rows of compartments for really small pieces/parts, and another section that could be configured for up to 5 larger compartments.
Once I examined them, however, I found the plastic to be rather flimsy. It's not really going to fall apart or anything, but everything, particularly the cover, flexes quite a bit. This is a problem when storing small parts, because when you pick the case up by the handle and everything goes vertical, small parts manage to squeeze between the compartment dividers and the cover, mixing themselves up.
I had no troubles inserting the optional compartment dividers, though some fit more firmly than others. Again, for small parts, you would want a tighter fit, so I recommend care is taken when separating dividers from each other (they arrive as sets of 5, all attached together). After cutting them apart, I filed down the remaining "nubs" which had connected the dividers to their neighbors--I would recommend for those looking for a tighter fit, to not file them flush: Leave a little bit out. The way the divider system is designed, that will increase friction when you insert the dividers into their slots. If I decide to keep the second one organizer, I may try that myself to see how effective it is. The good thing is, if it's too tight, it's easy to fix. It's a lot harder to fix if things get too loose!
The purple latches work well, and give a solid snap when open and closed. Unlike some other organizers, these latches are actually on hinges, and aren't simply flexible pieces of plastic, so I am not concerned with wear causing them to break off. The integrated handle balances well, regardless of the weight of the organizer's contents.
Summary:
Pros: Good latches, lots of flexibility in compartment configuration, good dividers, easy to see contents, relatively inexpensive
Cons: Flimsy plastic (particularly the cover), inconsistent divider friction, not good for small parts under 5mm (0.2") in any dimension if you ever plan to pick it up by the handle
Janome Memory Craft 11000se
I have had my Janome 11k for 4 years and beyond regular servicing, it has not been out of my sight. Sometimes I run it for 8 hours a day and still no problems. It is easy to use, has a large computerized screen, excellent lighting, and a variety of hoops. Because Janome uses a robotic arm on the back side, to move the hoop as you embroider, you don't have a massive embroidery unit to the side. This also makes threading it easier. Bobbins can be wound as you sew. It's very easy to switch from embroidery mode to regular sewing and, wow!, does it have power! The machine has many built-in stitches for regular sewing, too. Designs can be transferred to the machine from your computer directly or by USB stick or memory card (like a camera's), and there are built-in designs, as well. Designs can be edited on the machine. The only drawback I have encountered is the size of the largest hoop. Some of the other machines have larger hoops. Really, I just can't say enough good stuff about this embroidery machine. It's tough and fast and dependable, and sews smoothly, without tension problems or skipped/mangled stitches. Less time with the technician means more time for fun and more money to buy fabric and thread!
Brush Set for Airbrush Cleaning
Yes, the price is right. But what you get are 5 brushes where the bristles fall off in your hand, they all look about the same thickness except one, and that one looks like it was just trimmed down unevenly. the bristles come off the top when you run your fingers on them, they aren't securely fastened onto the sticks. Inappropriate for any cleaning chore. After I ended up with bristles everywhere, I threw them out.
Distinctive Non-Stick Sewing Machine Presser Foot - Fits All Low

I bought this foot because my walking foot was on the fritz. I make and sell cloth diapers, and a walking foot is (or so I thought) integral to sewing with the waterproof PUL fabric I use for the outer part of the diaper. This teflon foot is 100% better than the walking foot, even when it was working properly. The fabric slides through evenly, yet you have very good control. I have a Brother CS-6000i, and this foot snaps right on to the low-shank. No matter what position the needle is in, it doesn't hit the foot at all. It will save me time, too, because I can use it for the construction of the whole diaper instead of switching between my regular foot and walking foot. This is a great product and for an excellent price.

I needed something to replace the broken clasp on an old faux-pearl necklace . This was rather easy to attach to small metal links with a set of small pliers. I wish it were a bit larger or that I had smaller fingers. This would make it easier to see/feel how to fasten around neck, but at least I can wear the necklace again after so many years.
Singer Bobbin (5 Pack)
I was a little worried about how well these would fit in my circa 1970 hand-me-down Singer, but they are perfect. Nice to be able to get replacements for an old machine for not a lot of money!

Only use high quality bobbins specified by Brother or whatever brand of sewing machine you purchase if you expect your stitches to be perfect. These Brother SA159 bobbins are the best. I like the weight and feel of the filled bobbin and the stainless is easier to insert in the bobbin case.
Zipper Rescue Kit, YKK #10 Antique Brass Slider (1 Slider/pack)
I do love this, but it ( 1 in pack) is much larger than this pic and the loop is rounded, not squared. It is about 2" long and 1/2" wide. I had to order a different kit with smaller slides after I rec'd this one, but I'm keeping it for another repair.
8pc Clear Acrylic Bead Jars Containers - Spill-Proof Snap-on Tops
I must carry medications with me if I go out for the day or to dinner, etc. It was a pain loading and unloading all my various medicine bottles into my purse.....and ziploc baggies are even worse. These little containers work perfectly as medicine dosage cups....I just fill each little jar with the pills I need at each meal while away from home, snap on the lid, drop them into my purse, and I'm good to go. They take up almost no room. Wonderful for traveling!
Royal Brush Langnickel 8-Inch by 10-Inch Foil Engraving Art Kit
THE BOX WAS SEALED WITH A RUBBER BAND. SEALED ONTO ONE OF THE BOARDS IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A STRING COVERED WITH THE BLACK SUBSTANCE THAT YOU SCRAPE AWAY. I WOULD RETURN BUT I BOUGHT IT FOR A CHILD AND SHE WONT CARE. THE COST WAS CHEAP AND NOW I KNOW WHY. IVE BOUGHT THESE ENGRAVING KITS AT THE STORE WITH 5 STAR QUALITY BUT THESE SEEM TO BE SOME SORT OF SECOND, DAMADGED GOODS, BIG LOTS ITEM. FUNNY FOR SOME REASON I CANT RATE THE SELLER, THIS ITEM ISNT ON MY ACCOUNT "YOUR ORDERS"
Singer Embroidery & Darning Foot #006016008-P
My Singer Embroidery & Darning Foot arrived today. I had anxiously been waiting all week. I could not have been more disappointed and frustrated with this seller when the part arrived. It arrived in a plain baggie. No, unfortunately I'm not kidding. It was supposed to be 'new'. I hardly think Singer would send something out in a baggie if it were new. Not only that, but the part doesn't even look the same as the one pictured. I made sure the part I ordered specifically stated it was compatible with my Singer model. What arrived has some big hard plastic part attached to it that makes in not compatible with my Singer. At first I thought it was just some protective cap, but no, it is not. I am so mad right now. I was looking forward to spending my holiday weekend quilting. Now my plans are ruined. The company, Metropolitans Warehouse on Amazon Marketplace, will probably expect me to pay the shipping charges to return it and a restocking fee.

This product goes by weight and it had a few tiny cogs (which is what i wanted cogs of many different sizes) and then the bulk of it was these large inside watch faces and tiny screws, and when I saw tiny I mean really tiny.. I have read some other reviews with similar statements I just thought well I want tiny... yeah.. Not this tiny.. False advertising the pick is packed with all kinds of cog pieces nothing like the pic.
