The manufacture sent a .8 needle . It is a .8 but for a different airbrush. I did not to even pursue, what's the point. I'll choose a more common supplier of airbrushes. I'm certain it will be less of a headache.

SINGER 14CG754 ProFinish 2-3-4 Thread Serger With Machine Intro
List Price: $299.99
Sale Price: $179.99

Purchased this item from a retail JoAnns' It was 249.99 on sale, came threaded.
I had to play around with the machine more than I used it, read the reviews here and on JoAnns' site and decided there was a better Serger out there.
Bought a Brother from Amazon, JoAnn only sold Singer.
Now, in defense of the Singer serger machine, it has a much heavier material cutter, less oiling and a heavier steel shaft, collar combination, than the Brother.
Also, when the Singer was serging it did an extremely good job of overlocking, better than the Brother, in my opinion.
After I became used to the Singer form of threading it wasn't as bad as most of the reviews made it sound.

Singer Serger Overlock 14SH654
I purchased this serger from Walmart about a week ago. The low price is what lured me in, and I have not been terribly disappointed yet, considering what I paid for it. Sergers are fairly complex and take a lot more patience to operate than sewing machines. You can expect to put at least an hour or two into setting this machine up, and should plan on running a few scraps of fabric through it initially to adjust the tension dials, which can be a bit finicky and over-sensitive. The machine comes with a DVD that is INFINITELY more helpful than the manual, and with a lot of patience and several failed attempts, I was able to thread it correctly and produce a stitch. My only complaint is that the stitching can be inconsistent at times, no matter how much I fiddle with the tension dials, but I cannot say I expected a flawless machine at such a low price. This is a nice machine for those on a budget or who use their sergers lightly. I only use mine for finishing the edges of light-weight fabrics, and it suits my purposes quite well. A more expensive machine would probably function more consistently, true, but I'm thankful there's a serger out there that meets my more stringent budget!
Cuttlebug Adapter C New Packaging, 6 by 13-Inch

Sale Price: $14.59

I love this adapter. I use it with the Big Kick so that I don't have to keep turning the pages on the platform. I use the plates that come with the Big Kick for embossing folders and Cuttlebug dies... and for Spellbinder dies, SU thin dies and other thin metal dies, I use this C Adapter platform and it works beautifully! I took this to class and let the ladies there use it and they all liked it. A few of them wanted to know where I got it.

Uniquely You Your Shape Pinnable Dressform - Petite
Buying this dressform from SewVacDirect was the right choice. You can adapt the form to your measurements by altering the cover. I recommend getting the closest size as possible since the foam will only squeeze to a certain point. I fall between the petite and small size. I went for the petite size with cover #3 (largest size cover within the petite). It is easier to add padding to the form and then reduce the size of the cover, than it is to try to squeeze a small cover on a bigger dressform. If you've never sewn before you might find it challenging to follow the instructions for the cover alterations. If you know how to sew it should be a piece of cake. Please make sure before checking out to specify your cover size... I was careless and had to call/email SewVacDirect to let them know my cover size. For the price, being able to drape, pin, and construct a garment to my exact measurements cannot be beat! ... one last thing, I am glad Amazon does not have Allbrands.com from Louisiana as a vendor. They were a nightmare! They will rip you off! Im glad my credit card backed me up when they did not filled my order and tried to charge me for the shipping, (they have several complaints with the BBB)...so avoid allbrands.com like the plague.

It is a lovely picture of a Beluga Whale with it's head out of water. the quality of the fabric and of the picture are excellent. But...it is a bit on the expensive side. I like what I did with it but probably will not buy another.
Apoxie Sculpt 2 Part Modeling Compound Sample Tray
So I got this demo set, and it looks nothing like the common green stuff. There's 4 colors, and 4 vomit putties. The vomits are covered in a greasy liquid, while the 4 colors are dryish.
Mixing feels nothing like green stuff. It's more smooth due to the oils in the vomit, and sticks less to your fingers. You can use wet fingers to make them stick less, but the putty will slip around more.
So far, it's less troublesome and sticky than green stuff (sticky to hands) Also molds alot easier then fresh green stuff.
I applied to to some custom transformers to anchor 2 pieces of plastic together. I'll edit the review later on when the apoxy solidifies.3 stars, since I'm only halfway done experiencing this product.

Distinctive 7-Piece Premium Sewing Foot Quilting Package
List Price: $90.00
Sale Price: $49.99
Today's Bonus: 44% Off
I was dying to get a Walking foot so I could complete my first quilt. Being impatient, I checked around my local stores, but I was shocked at the price tags ($50 +). So I decided to wait and look for it online.
When I found this kit, I was thrilled. The Walking foot, and several other feet I was looking for--all for less than the cost of the walking foot locally. So I took a chance that it would work with my Brother machine, and ordered it.
The vendor shipped it in literally a matter of hours, and I had it in my hands in 2 days!!! I opened the box, looked at the picture in the directions, and was quilting in less than 5 minutes. Since then, I've used it quite a bit with no issues. I've also tested all of the other feet, and they all work very well and seem to be great quality.
I've also tested the feet on my sister-in-laws Kenmore, and my very old Singer. And the feet worked with those as well.
Since this purchase, I have bought another Distinctive 7-piece Set (Home Dec) and have been thrilled with it too.

Cant say anything bad about this product. Very sturdy design and great looking. The fact that it can become a table top easel is a plus. I bought mine from CSN store and it came within three days and no extra shipping costs! The assembly wasn't trouble at all. It came partially assembled. If you're under six feet, the legs won't have to be raised. If you're like me six-one and taller the first tab will be sufficient. Bob had his at the highest setting. He was a tall man. The selling point for me is in how the canvas isn't restricted u can paint right to the edge. Can hold 8x10 up to 24x24 or 24 x 48!!! A must have!

The picture is deceiving and the fabric is thin. Not a good value. I bought two and don't know what I am going to do with them. EDIT: I ended up giving them to my daughters and they liked them....

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.

I was really interested in making free form pendants and component with this clay. All over the internet, I kept seeing tutorial after tutorial using the clay in some sort of bezel--which isn't what I wanted.
But I took a chance and ordered it anyway.
I sculpted my pendant, added the chatons, all while working on wax paper. I totally expected that I would have to cut or tear off the wax paper. I left it overnight, and the next morning (less than 24 hours), it came right off the wax paper with no effort!! And it left a nice smooth surface on the back.
This 50g kit seems to last forever! I've made at least 5 pendants and still have at least half remaining.
The only downside--the clay isn't very metallic. So I mixed in some fine silver mica powder while mixing, and I also took a makeup brush and brushed it over the surface after applying the Chatons. It created a beautiful finish.
Overall, I'm very happy with this clay, and I'm now ordering more colors!
