Nice fit in the hand. Be advised that you will need to drill the handle to accept the file, which is not a bad thing as you can size the hole for the file or tool you are mounting.

Apoxie Sculpt 1 Lb. Natural - Light Gray Epoxy Clay
Apoxie Sculpt is fabulous. It is odorless and nontoxic, and it sticks anything to anything, permanently. After 24 hours (or probably less) Apoxie Sculpt cures to amazing hardness, and can then be sanded, drilled, etc. It stays workable for a long time (but not the 2 to 3 hours claimed) and can be smoothed out with water and other tools. It's easy to add a texture to it, and it can be used with molds. It is paintable when dry. Buy the small size and try it for yourself.

Brother SA132 sewing machine parts Presser Feet -Household
I got my presser foot very quickly and it was in good shape, however, no instructions were included in the package. Luckily it is not difficult to figure out, but still a picture or small note would have been great! Also, the package was a simple padded envelope. Very lucky that the presser foot was not damaged during shipping.
Liberty Oil, the Best 100% Synthetic Oil for Lubricating All of
As most everyone knows, petroleum-based oils are pumped out of the ground as crude oil. The crude is then refined to remove contaminants and impurities. This is repeated until the desired level of purity is reached. All petroleum-based oils have a certain level of impurities. Petroleum-based sewing machine oil is a mixture of hydrocarbon chains of varying lengths and a very small percentage of impurities such as wax and sulfur. When this type of oil evaporates it leaves behind these impurities and over time, with repeated oiling, will cause a buildup of sticky residue. Up until the advent of synthetic oil, such petroleum-based oil has provided a good solution for lubricating sewing machines. Synthetic oils are manufactured to produce hydrocarbon chains that are, for all practical purposes, the same length and are essentially free of impurities. There is no residue buildup when synthetic oil evaporates. In addition, the identical chains ensure that synthetic is "slicker" than petroleum-based oil. The reason I am writing all this background is to emphasize that synthetic oil has become the best solution for sewing machine lubrication.
Liberty Oil is sold as 100% synthetic oil in different sizes and applicator lengths. The manufacturer states that it contains "two friction modifiers". I don't know exactly what that means in the context of the 100% synthetic claim. This particular item is packaged in a 1 oz flexible soft plastic bottle with a 1 1/2" stainless steel applicator. The applicator is a fairly sharp needle that is thin enough and long enough to easily access what would normally be hard to reach oiling points. It could be my imagination, but my machine seems to run quieter with synthetic oil than it did with petroleum oil. I am very happy with this purchase. Synthetic oil is the way to go...five stars.

First part of cutting table is marked in metric. Since 90% of what I need to cut is from 2" to 5" in size, I had to print out a new cutting guide in Excel making sure it was exactly to size. I then covered it with laminated covering and taped it in place. Other than that, it was excellent. I did not think I needed the laser but got it anyway. It really came in quite handy. Knife blade is very sharp and cuts card stock as if it was 20 pound paper.

Out of 86 pieces you DO receive 76 REAL buttons:
33 are rather for kids and teenagers.
46 are of all colors, from very big to small, and sometimes of different shapes.
10 pieces have no hole and are for scrapbooking.
This is great compared to other packages.
Your happiness is function of what you'll do with these buttons.
I personally use them to embellish my sweaters.
I gave four stars instead of five because out of 86 pieces, I have no use for half of them, but for the price I found some great big buttons in wonderful colors.

Non-stick Teflon Sewing Machine Presser Foot - Fits All Low
I love these non-stick teflon feet for sewing anything that has a bit of stick to it like vinyl. The foot allows you to have the sticky side up and the foot glides right over the fabric. My only issue with this foot is that because it's white, it makes it hard to "see" where you are sewing. My foot happens to be slightly off center when attached which makes it a real challenge to try to center all my stitches but other then that, it's a lot easier than using tissue paper under a regular foot to get the same gliding affect. Buy it...you'll love it!!
Magic Sculpt 1 Lb. Epoxy Clay - Natural
I've been working with Magic Sculpt for a few years now, it is wonderful stuff. Here's a few tips to make your experience with it more rewarding.
0. Wet your finger in water to smoothe it, you don't need to use alchohol. If you use wax carving tools, wet the tip first so the epoxy doesn't stick to it. (I hope this stuff really is non-toxic, as I lick my tools and smooth my work with a finger I've licked.) I also sometimes smooth small areas with a wetted tool.
1. Use waxed paper to sculpt on, it will not stick to it. If the wax paper moves around too much, tape it to the table.
2. If you get interrupted and don't have time to finish your work before the epoxy is going to set up, throw it in the freezer. It will last about a day in there, and you'll be able to pull it out, warm it up a bit, and continue working. Two days is too long.
3. Right after you mix it, it may be very warm and too soft to sculpt easily. Pop it in the fridge for 5 or 10 minutes to cool it off, it will firm up nicely. Any time it gets too warm & soft in the first hour, chill it again. This has the added bonus of extending your working time a bit.
4. You can add very tiny and thin pieces to your work, but if you're applying to an already cured piece, scratch the surface in a cross-hatch pattern where you're going to add fresh epoxy, this will greatly improve the strength of the bond.
5. If you're sculpting miniatures, go slow. Do one detail at a time and let it cure. If you get too ambitious, you'll mangle the area you just worked on while you're focusing on another area. Work on several pieces at a time, add one or two details to each, then let them cure.
6. The hardener starts getting a yellow, kinda crusty coat to it after a few months in the container. Don't fret, just remove it from the container and knead it liberally like bread dough. Keep kneading it until the yellow has blended back into the mass and it is once again a uniform grey. Then put it back in the container.
7. Print these tips out and leave 'em with your Magic Sculpt.

Smooth-On Body Double Standard Set - 3 lbs Life Casting Platinum
This stuff is amazing. It's easy to apply, and you can add skin safe silicone thinners/thickeners to achieve desired texture. Most importantly, you can make ONE PIECE, REUSABLE molds. If you know anything about mold making and casting you would know that this is essentially unheard of, making this product pretty revolutionary. The only con is that it's expensive, but because you can reuse the molds, over time you save money. The molds roll/peel off with ease, but immediately retain their desired shape.
The molds fill well with plaster, which you can tint with acrylic paint or oxide powder. You can also melt plastiline on the stove and pour it in, and then continue to mold it. You can use a lot of other casting materials also (even some low temp metal alloys if you are fortunate enough to have a foundry), but these two are the most cost effective. Buy this.

I love this Cricut cartridge!
I'm a disabled Grandma. That means limited income (Can't afford the cost of all the precut dies) and limited mobility (Arthritis in my hands, and wrists prevent intricate hand cutting of dies).
But, I love making cards, and scrapbooks for my family.
The Cricut,and it's cartridges are the answer. This cartridge is wonderful.
It has a beautiful, storybook looking, font, and numbers, some great frames, cards, envelope, a few cute critters, and 3 color layering. And wait 'til you see the "Lacey" patterns!
