I have to say that I was really excited about this item when I was looking at it online. The images online were very clear and I imagined so many things I could might be able to do with it. What I received is the quilt square but it isn't put on normal cotton or muslin fabric...it is on a silky/slimy feeling blend of fabric. Not what I was expecting at all. I guess some was my fault because I didn't mark out with my ruler how big 10 x 10 was so was pretty surprised at how small it really is so it wouldn't be good for a normal size throw pillow unless I can find complimentary colors to border it but even then the picture won't stand out much as a focal point. Anyway, it is a nice picture and now I have a picture on a "hanky" that I guess I can keep as a keepsake though I can't see myself really doing anything with it. Mostly my fault which is why I gave it 3 stars but some sellers fault for not showcasing the square next to a normal throw pillow to give normal buyers like me a visual guide before buying.

...the paint or whatever the coating is comes off and leaves the cutouts on white paper a coppery yuck. I tried washing them, rubbed them down with rubbing alcohol, it doesn't change a thing, paper looks dirty.

If you have noticed the same problem with other Spellbinders dies, PLEASE contact Spellbinders and complain about that. They claim that nobody in the whole wide world has mentioned anything like that to them about their dies, but I read reviews and know that others are having problems since the dies are made in China.

I'd be a lot happier with this die if it weren't for this ugly stain which ruins expensive card stock. I am about to kiss Spellbinders goodbye if this continues. These are expensive dies, yet the quality has gone to shoddy at best.

Update, June 2013:

Spellbinders has acknowledged that there is a problem with their dies leaving unsightly stains which is very noticable on white and light paper. They are looking into what is causing this and hopefully fix it soon.

This is a wonderful product for LIGHTWEIGHT sewing! I happen to use it on very sheer nylon for grooming smocks, so it converts my straight shanked Brother and Singer machines into sergers very easily. I know Singer has a heavier duty side cutter and plan to purchase it for future heavy weight sewing, but for now, this is the product that I will be using. You will need to read the instructions in order to get it to work the first time as I just expected it to go to work automatically. NOT! It's wonderful for the price for lightweight materials and I would recommend it for the hobby to advanced sewer who does not want to purchase a serger right away.

Using on a very basic Singer 8280 machine.

What this foot IS NOT: a serging foot with built-in cutter (such as ones available from my manufacturer)

What this foot IS: a perfect piece to help you fake an overlock stitch with a basic sewing machine

If you have the kind of sewing machine that changes feet by lowering down the shank onto the foot and snapping in place, this will probably fit. I wasn't absolutely sure it would fit my machine, but for $12 I was willing to take a gamble. Neither the picture or the instructions that came with this foot were very clear on how it actually worked, but there are 2 parts that help you use an overlock or even a basic zig-zag stitch (all I have) to finish raw edges. First, the little black piece that sticks out of the front helps you keep the fabric perfectly lined up with the needle. Second, a piece like a bar runs down the middle of the foot and the needle goes back and forth over this bar when stitching. The bar keeps the fabric from rolling/bunching up onto itself as you sew (which is what happened to me when I tried to edge using the zig-zag without this foot). This is a great foot and will keep me from having to buy a serger for awhile.

Just a note, if you need to straight-stitch something, either switch back to your regular foot or be sure to use the straight stitch that's offset to one side. If you use the centered straight stitch, the aforementioned bar that runs down the middle will break your needle.

I was very disappointed with how this product was packaged. The pendulum rod was bent in half so that it would fit in the small box it was shipped in. Also, the two clock parts that hold the hands were pretruding through the box. Can't get the part to work now. Key won't turn to wind it. :-(

Paasche Trigger For VL Series Airbrushes

These new triggers were designed to alleviate the swing breaking that occurs with the little pice of tin between the thread hole and the pressure point. This is great, but passche didn't tell anyone they were doing this! So when I got the trigger it also came with an extra piece and seemed to be for the wrong gun entirely. To get the new rocker to work you have to remove the hose connector portion of the gun and replace it with the provided trigger port. It looks like a ball resting on a divet. The new design works really well and I love the upgrade, but I was two minutes away from sending the whole order back.

Works just like stated. It is loud, but does all the work and saves my hands. My initial need was to distress cardboard covers (36) for mini albums. After doing a couple of covers by hand, I knew I needed a tool to help me out. The Distrezz It All did just that.

Pumice is a nice addition to my abrasive products. I also use aluminum oxide and glass beads. This is the finest (texture) of the three and is not for cutting. It's great to use after glass beading .

I just tried it on a passenger car that I had removed the lettering....made the surface very smooth. I highly recommend this product for light work. One word of caution "very fine"...creates a lot of dust...you will have clean up. It found every opening in my blasting cabinet.

Price was good ...free shipping sealed the deal

I bought this paper for my Epson 3800 looking to print photo's I had neglected printing and framing for some time. The quality and feel of the paper is great, just like you would expect from any photo processing center. I don't know how well the output would be on a non-Epson printer, as the ink and printer capabilities have a lot to do with the final output too, but I would highly recommend this paper for a good quality Epson. It's worth the money and you won't be disappointed.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This package of 15 zippers is a great buy, and in my opinion the 4" size is just right for many applications. (It's the zipper itself that is 4"; the total length is slightly more because of the head and tail.) In the package of 15 zippers, there was a nice assortment of colors--about half or slightly less were lighter colors (blue, lavender, pink, beige, light green, etc.) and the rest were bright colors (orange, red, burgundy, purple, hot pink, bright green, yellow, etc.). There are no white or black; those can be bought separately if you need them.

Fabric stores usually don't stock zippers smaller than 5", and in attempting to find a smaller zipper, I've tried "doll zippers," but they are too small for most uses--usually only 2" or 3". The 4" length of these zippers is about the width of an adult hand, so these are perfect for pockets on (or inside) a purse or tote bag. They can also be used for coin purses, cell phone cases, and a variety of other similar items. The coils on these zippers are nylon and sturdy (similar to those usually used in clothing), and the pull is metal.

I love the colors! All you need is imagination to use them in inventive ways.

There was a typo on this description when we ordered it should have been a 160 page punch ended up being a 130 page punch. However, the 130 works great and we really love it here in the office. Ive put up the 125 pages and it works great. The replacement punch parts of not expensive either so even if it gets abused its an easy fix. We ended up with two because we love it so much. Even with 125 pages its not to difficult to push down. You do need to use both hands and push down but it does not require huge amounts of pressure to punch the paper. Its not big and bulky either, fits neatly into a little corner. It is heavy duty and will stay in place while you punch, it doesnt slide around on the table. Good qualilty product.
