Cricut Textured Cardstock, 12-Inch by 24-Inch, Candy Shop

I purchased this for my new Cricut. It gets the job done. Honestly, I did not like the texture pattern at all. This is the same thickness as your typical card stock. Due to the Cricut brand name, t

It was more expensive. I don't feel it's worth the extra price and next time I will stick to non-brand name card stock.

I was soooo resistant to getting the Yellow or Red ATG, first because of the size, second because of the price. All of my scrapping friends assured me that the size was not a problem and swore by this adhesive and dispenser. So, when the Pink ATG came out, and was available on a deal of the day site for a great price, I decided that it was finally time to try it out (I mean you can't pass up a good deal right?). It was a little awkward at first, getting used to the size, but that only took one scrapping session to get used to. What I initially disliked, but now LOVE is that the adhesive is VERY, VERY PERMANENT!!!!! I MEAN PERMANENT. Once you adhere 2 surfaces together, they are not coming apart! However, if you put the adhesive down but DO NOT adhere another surface to the surface you originally put the adhesive on, you can roll it off, like a snot ball. So there is an opportunity to remove the adhesive if you put it down in the wrong place as long as you do not adhere anything to it. The adhesive also lasts a REALLY long time, so you are not constantly buying adhesive! It is a big bang for your buck!

this product is so bad it doesn't deserve even one star... the plastic parts are not made well so it doesn't go together well....it sits crooked and looks bad...i have one from an earlier time and it's not as bad....i realise that platic is not going to be as good as a metal one but it should at least go together well and not look like a "drunken salior"...it does give one pause as to ordering anything from Dritz...thinking they may be trying to keep a low price and have inferior manufacting.....i bought one from the local quilt shop and i couldn't even get the screw out of the base to put the rod in the base....so i'm thinking that Dritz needs to re-think their source...

Iwata-Medea Studio Series Smart Jet Single Piston Air Compressor

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $314.95
Sale Price: $258.95
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

This is a pretty decent entry-level compressor. If you're just getting into airbrushing or you know you're only ever going to work on small projects, this is an excellent purchase. However, if you're potentially at risk of working on anything larger than a model kit or a t-shirt you'll probably want to bite the bullet and get something with a larger capacity now rather than later. I've recently started customizing bike frames and on the long strokes this compressor's capacity can feel frustratingly anemic.

So to sum up:

Small projects = good

Large projects = bad

Dress It Up 6563 Butterfly Funglasses

Customer Ratings:

Partially my fault that I didn't read the description close enough, but I had no idea this was a kit. Still not a big deal, but the pieces were really hard to glue to the glasses, and we ended up with a pair of pink sunglasses and random pieces. Never got it all the way together, but made a huge superglue mess. My daughter was very disappointed she didn't get the glasses already together, but again, my fault for not reading.

Singer Esteem Sewing Machine 1732

Customer Ratings:

I would say this is an okay machine for beginners. I say this because some seem to have the impression that the machine is supposed to do everything for you. First read the manual thoroughly so you can understand how the machine works. Second, in the beginning, my stitches kept getting tangled, and I realized all I needed to do was fix the tension. You just have to play around with the machine to understand how it works. Second, the "S" button is not in the stitch selector dial but stitch length. I've made 4 different projects with this machine so far and I love it. Works well and I'm sure I'll have this one for a while.

Environmental Tech EnviroTex Pour-On High Gloss Finish gallon kit

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $115.88
Sale Price: $76.70
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

This EnviroTex does what it is supposed to do. It does create a beautiful finish on many items, and I do intend to use it more in the future. My problem has to do with the directions. I was updating my old countertops and putting this over top of them to really give them a nice wow factor. In the directions it says to pour the mixed contents over the item and smooth it out with a foam brush or putty knife. I did this...twice. Each time it was not smooth at all, and I am a pretty handy person. I started researching how to make it look better. I spent a couple nights online writing down similar ways to apply it from other products that are like it. A good number of these other products said to use a small roller and apply it that way across the counters. This did involve me sanding the EnviroTex that I already laid down twice off my counters. It was not a simple process, much to the credit of this company, because this stuff is very thick. It took me a whole night to sand everything off of them and then clean the kitchen. I only had a small portion of EnviroTex left in my two bottles, and chose to do the island in my kitchen to make sure this would work better. It worked great with the roller!!! Very pleased with it. The bad news is now I have to purchase more of it to finish off the kitchen when if they had just said in the directions to use a roller in the first place, things would have gone much smoother. I never leave reviews on items I buy off of Amazon, and I buy things from here frequently, but I felt I better for this product. If I can save just one person on here the hassle of what I had to go through, then I will feel better about everything. So please, EnviroTex, your directions sheet should be changed to include using a roller to apply your product. Like I said, I will use this on other projects in the future, but I will definitely be using a roller!

Janome JEM Platinum 720 Sewing Machine

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $649.00
Sale Price: $449.00
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

.

We've had the very similar Janome Jem Platinum 760 for about 7 years, after using an economy grade Singer for 20 years.

I was not sold on the idea of paying 4x for a lot of bells and whistles. But it turns out to be completely worth it. Especially the 99.99% trouble-free operation.

PROs:

* Trouble free no mess-ups in the middle of a project!

* Automatic Needle Up or Down each time you stop

Nice Zig-Zag + straight stitch combinations

Needle Threader built in

LED light

CONs:

* Expensive

The Janome web site has some detailed info in the "brochure" and owner manuals for each model. The 760 seems to be identical to the 720 except for 40 additional stitch patterns that we've never used, and the hard shell cover is optional on the 720.

The hard shell cover is kind of a hassle. Your thread spool is in the way whenever you place or remove the cover. A box made from heavy cardboard might be better than the hard shell cover for transport & storage.

~~~ Comments & questions welcome ~~~

I'm in the middle of a crazy photo-organizing project with about 10 15 years of photos and negatives. I'm putting all my negatives in these sleeves:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009R90P/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details

They almost fit in these baggies and do fit if you really shove them in. I'm putting the photos from each roll of film in these baggies and then in this box:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HS7F3M/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

This box fits the bags PERFECTLY! I love it! Now I will have all my photos and negatives organized in clear baggies, so I can SEE the photos/roll of film, plus they are out of the flimsy paper envelopes the developer gives you when you develop them. This was a great buy! Especially at $8 for 100! Now I don't have to worry about my photos getting damaged in storage! Wonderful!

Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper LUSTER (8.5x11 Inches, 50

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $38.99
Sale Price: $24.29
Today's Bonus: 38% Off

I have an Epson 960 Photo Printer. I have tried various Epson photo papers with the printer and this is by far the best. The premium glossy paper was nice but I could see some bands through the image that were barely percepible even when the printer was new. With the Premium Luster paper the ink lays down beautifully and perfectly and the image has what I can only describe in words as a rich feel to it. Paper selection is very personal but if you have not tried this paper you owe it to yourself to run some of it through your printer. There's a good chance you'll be back for more.

SINGER 7470 Confidence 225-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $599.00
Sale Price: $279.99
Today's Bonus: 53% Off

I have had this machine for about a month. I have made a quilt, 4 shirts, and 3 sets of curtains with it. I am a sewing novice. I spent some time on my mother's machine as a kid, it was unfortunate as it broke a lot, and now I'm really learning how to do it through quilting and sewing classes.

Pros:

Auto tension! I love it. It works every time.

Drop in bobbin! I will never go back.

Easy to select stitches. (however,do read the manual before doing

twin needle work!)

Lots of choices for embellishing items with embroidery.

So far, no issues and I've sewn heavy and light fabrics.

Cons:

The autothreader takes more work than doing it myself.

You will need another light source if you like to sew at night.

I don't like that to reverse stitch I have to hold the button at

the same time I guide my fabric. Couldn't they just let me press

the button, then press the button again when I'm done with

reverse? (That's not novice friendly!)

A bit heavy to carry. I'm tough, but carrying it for more than a

short walk will get to you. Get a rollerboard carrier and skip

the plastic case.
