I have kept these laminating sheets on hand for years since finding them in stock at our local Sam's Club. I have used them since I was student teaching in college. Now that I'm homeschooling my own daughter, I wouldn't be without them! They're perfect for laminating visual aids, flash cards...you name it. They're durable and make your teaching aids hold up to years of wear and tear. I only wish Sam's Club would carry them in the store again.

Not a bad airbrush does is decent job but is no iwata. I used it for airbrushing model airplanes and it was fine. Cleaning it is a pain because of many small tiny parts. Has at least 3 small rubber washers that need to be removed in order to clean. I used thinner to clean em and the washers lost their shape and tore apart. I bought it on ebay as they are tons of them on that site. I think for water based colors it should be fine.

This mannequin is very nice for artist reference. I was excited when I got mine, however I am disappointed. The hips are not full range of motion. They only move front to back. So posing your mannequin in a fighting stance, or doing a side kick, or sitting on a barbie horse (what my sister tried to do), it just doesn't work.

The hips have the same range of motion as a lego figure, the mannequin however does have bendable knees and ankles

We recently purchased the Pyramid TTProx Proximity Time Clock because we thought it would work with our existing proximity cards. Unfortunately, it won't work with other proximity cards so we ended up sending that unit back and going back to the drawing board.

What we were looking for was the simplest solution for both us and our employees; so, a biometric system seemed like the next best choice.

After getting this time clock up and running, these are the things we like about it:

From an employee perspective, it is extremely simple to use. Just place your fingerprint on the reader and it beeps. That's about it.

This unit is networked, and it's easy to pull the data directly from the time clock into Quick Books.

Overall, this is accurate and fast.

Unfortunately, getting the time clock up and running is an exercise in frustration. There are lots of little details that have to be right, like needing employee IDs to be in the 9000 range; but, the software automatically assigns numbers in a different range. On top of that, the process of creating an administrative user is also confusing and poorly documented.

We were able to get through the setup in a couple of hours without calling support; but, it wasn't fun.

Enrolling the first user was also a pain since it didn't really follow the instructions; but, we did figure it out and now it's pretty simple (once you know how to do it).

This is the process we go through to enter users:

1) Press F4

2) Enter the admin code

3) Press enter

4) Enter the admin code again

5) Press F4

6) Enter the user code

7) Press enter

8) Let the user scan their finger twice

As you can see, the admin code is needed to add users; but, that's also the code that lets you override punches from the time clock. I wish there were a way to use the admin fingerprint instead of having to type the code multiple times. I'm probably just paranoid. :)

Anyway, I would recommend this product since it does work well once it's configured. Just keep in mind that the initial configuration will take some pretty loose interpretation of the included instructions.

I bought to hold up a large white board which would normally wall-mount, but my office arrangement doesn't provide that opportunity. So, I have large, heavy item on easel which can be whisked away to closet storage or displayed for conceptual thinking work as needed. Glad I got the "heavy duty" version since writing on the board requires a steady support.

There's not much to say about the actual item. It's an airbrush needle and it fits the models listed. Something to be aware of however is that Amazon ships these in a yellow bubble envelope that's around 6"x8". You know, the kind that's perfect for letting things flex inside of it. The needle itself is attached to a piece of cardstock and stuck in a thin plastic tube. The first needle arrived bent at a 15º angle. The second one (surprisingly) arrived straight. I really wish they'd ship these in a box instead.

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Set of 7 Die Templates - Doodle Parts

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Set of 7 Die Templates - Doodle Parts
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Please see customer image above for an example of a card where I used one of the doodle dies in this package on a birthday card. I used another inside the card. This is a very useful set of dies for decorating your greeting cards, as the doodles go with any theme and you can color them as you please.

I use my Spellbinders Shapeabilities dies with a Cuttlebug machine. The directions on how to use these dies with the Spellbinders Wizard, the Big Kick by Sizzix, and the Cuttlebug by Provocraft come with every set of dies, and they are very clear and easy to follow.

If you are going to emboss using a Cuttlebug and the Shapeabilities Spellbinders dies, you will also need to purchase a tan embossing mat such as Spellbinders W-005 12 by 12 Tan Pad for Wizard Cutting and Embossing System.

The fleur-de-lis is my favorite shape of all time. This set has already paid for itself in my making six greeting cards for various occasions. The cards I made are uniquely personal and so beautiful. All of the recipients have contacted me to say how beautiful the cards are and how much they appreciate the time that I have taken to create such a wonderful "gift."

Janome Digitizer Jr. V3.0 Embroidery Machine Software

Janome Digitizer Jr. V3.0 Embroidery Machine Software
Customer Ratings: 2 stars

Well, I was very excited to play with the Digitizer Jr. I was disappointed that I was required to use a second application (4D manager) to convert my images to use them on my Pfaff Creative 2124. It was advertised that this product would convert virtually any file type, but that is not so. It has an extremely limited file type of about 5 different types. It's only the full blown product that allows the broad range of file types that you might actually need to use. This is how they hook you into a major investment, I guess. Since I'm getting ready to purchase a new Janome machine, I really wanted to put the money into the machine and not into additional digitizing software. Since then I have found BuzzEdit and BuzzWord. They are actually more functional for about a quarter of the price. I wish I had found them earlier. The Digitizer Jr also only has a few fonts. They are not very nice ones, either. So I am waiting right now for the delivery of my BuzzEdit, also sold on Amazon. For $189 it has 30 scalable fonts and the ability to add in custom fonts and map them to your keyboard. Very cool stuff. It also integrates with the BuzzWord for an additional 40 fonts for $129. You can purchase each piece for a small amount and build up to the full blown digitizer, which is still around $300. I just wish I had read this stuff somewhere so I wouldn't have blown nearly $500. I'm not saying that the Jr doesn't work, I'm just saying that for all the trouble of having to use a dongle and for the price, I expected more. It did work right out of the box without issues on Windows 8, but so did the trial versions of the Buzz line of software. I hope you Janome software engineers actually read these reviews and improve your product to be more in line with the price.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

.

We've had the very similar Janome Jem Platinum 760 for about 6 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.

I bought this machine at Michael's (craft store) for use with Polymer Clay. The machine was very poorly made and broke on the second day of use! The "clamp" that helps hold it to the table did not fit properly so I had to borrow some of my husband's clamps so it wouldn't move around....but then, while using it, the dials (that gauge the thickness of the clay) completely broke.

I returned it and am going to get a nicer Atlas machine. Don't waste your time with this one....you'll only be disappointed and frustrated with it!

I like that the piece fit my machine, and it seems to be made of good metal...but the slot that you are supposed to be able to use to gather one material onto another could be a little broader, it does not have enough room for the fabric you want to remain flat while sewing the ruffle to it, so because of this the fabric slides out and goes all crooked.However it works great if you just want to make a gather and then sew it to you project as a second step.

The self sticking stencils are very handy if you want to make more than 1 object of similar style. They line up straight, stick to the glass/mirror whatever type of glass you are using. Best of all, they can be used more than one time. Just rinse off and they are ready for another project.
