had a small plastic gas tank leak that was too large for melting fix; thought seal-all was perfect; it's not; small print on package says "not recommended for use on polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene ..." Many gas tanks are one of these products. Product review doesn't say that.

Jesse James Beads 5921 Design Elements Monarchy, Purple
I think these beads are very pretty and I enjoy making jewelry with the but each bag I buy of these beads has beads that are still fused together. I find this very irritating as there are a limited number of each bead in each bag and splitting the beads is difficult. They don't split easily and I've lost a few from each bag trying to separate the beads.
Bobbin Case 51045 - Singer
It's a singer bobbin case, it fits, it does the job it's designed to do. I can say it's the second one I've bought and it's actually a better quality than the website Singer recommends purchasing from. Can't figure out why their parts for this machine are all knockoffs now either.
Quartet Aluminum Lightweight Telescoping Display Easel, Black
List Price: $78.99
Sale Price: $47.42
Today's Bonus: 40% Off
I bought it because we needed a portable easel to hold a melamine board that was roughly 3.5 x 4. It was too light weight and while it said it could hold 25 pounds (our board was 18 lbs) I felt it was over stated and it was not suitable at all.
The easel was delivered promptly. Service was good. I was just very disappointed in the product.

Well packaged and ID cards are clear and worked amazingly well. Need to achieve pretty high temp in order to seal the laminate with the 10-mil tags. In my case, I used a business card as the media and made for a very solid ID Tag.
Janome Concealed Zipper Foot By The Each
This foot is super easy to use and gives you a flawless concealed zipper! I did have to hand tack the inch closest to the zipper pull since the foot can't get that close. There may be a better way to do that, though.
This foot pulls the zipper nice and flat and gets the stitch right next to the zipper for maximum concealment. Definitely worth the money!

H:oter Black Enamel Mustache Stud Earrings, Lovely, Price/Pair
Most adorable earrings I've ever had. I love em. They make me feel fancy. I feel in love with them when I saw a pair similar at the mall but they wanted 17 bucks for once that aren't even as big as these ones. So I was very pleased at the size which are alil bigger then expected which in my case was a good thing and not 17 dollars! lol
Alvin PXB Laminated Parallel Straightedge & White Drawing Board
List Price: $145.00
Sale Price: $91.08
Today's Bonus: 37% Off
I purchased this drawing board, knowing Alvin is a good brand for drafting equipment. This board with it's supposed "parallel bar" is a piece of junk! Every time I slide the straightedge up or down the board I have to ensure it IS perpendicular to the edge of the board with a triangle. I have taken the whole assembly apart and put it back together but to no avail. I adjust and re-adjust the various dials and controls and it gets me nowhere FAST. What a waste of my time and money! This is a sham and Alvin and Amazon should pull the product and refund all customers immediately.
Micro Pop Dots 544/Pkg-White, 1/8-Inch
Before I discovered these micro pop dots from All Night Media, I was cutting up the quarter-inch adhesive squares from Scrapbook Adhesives, in order to fasten very small decorations to my greeting cards. That was hard on my scissors, and a bit frustrating because I still couldn't cut the squares into really small pieces.
These micro dots solved my problem, and 'pop up' small decorations on my cards, giving them a three-dimensional quality. See customer image above for an example of a birthday card that has 15 micro dots adhering to the lizards' feet and tails.
These dots aren't perfect. They're a bit hard to pry up. I finally developed a method of squeezing down the matrix around a dot while simultaneously prying up the dot with my fingernail.
Each card contains 544 pop dots 1/8" diameter x 1/16" thick.

Bedazzler - The Original Be Dazzler Rhinestone and Stud Setting
I'm disappointed with my BeDazzler. The process of putting the gems in the machine positioning the machine just right, pressing down, finding out the little prongs did not fold right, removing gem and trying again is tedious.
I keep adjusting the machine but best I can do is have a success rate of 1 out of every attempt. If the prongs on the gems do not fold over correctly then the gem will not say on the fabric.
I then purchased some two part gems on ebay in hopes they would work better then the ones that came with the BeDazzler again only have limited success. Getting the prongs to fold over the gem is trial and error sometimes it works, most of the time not all of the prongs fold over correctly.
I really wanted to have creative fun with the BeDazzler, but instead I spent most of my time with it being frustrated...
It seems like I have better luck putting the gems in place manually and folding them over with a metal thimble on my finger....

Janome Ditch Quilting Guide & Adjustable Quilting Guide for Even
For $24 I expected a lot more then what I received. I expected the ditch quilting guide to be what it said a guide. Having watched the You Tube demo thought it might improve my in-the-ditch quilting. However,I found that I still had to focus very much where the needle was going rather then where "guide" was. Stitching didn't stay straight because of the guide! Live and learn!!
Janome 7330 Magnolia Computerized Sewing Machine with 30
List Price: $599.00
Sale Price: $399.00
Today's Bonus: 33% Off
I am a first time sewer and I wanted a solid machine below $400. I wanted something I could grow into, but something that wouldn't overwhelm me. I had gone online to research machines. I was actually considering the Brother CS6000I before I had even heard of the Janome 7330. At the time there were 97 reviews on Amazon for the Brother CS6000I and I read every one. I was concerned b/c the low rated Brother reviews and even many of the 4 and 5 star reviews complained about the machine's tension and a finicky bobbin. The last thing I wanted to deal with was a touchy machine. If you read the reviews, without looking at the stars, most of them talk about the machine's quirks. I started to wonder if the Brother was trying to be too far reaching for it's price point. I was also wondering why so many were willing to overlook this touchiness that they all mentioned.
I went to SewVacDirect.com and did an online "ask a consultant" thing. I asked the person about the Brother CS6000I and the person directed me to the Janome. I had never heard of Janome before, but the consultant said that the Janome was far more sturdy than the Brother and that it was very easy to use. Still unsure, I decided to go to a store to see the machines in person.
After seeing the Janome and the Brother in action, I came home with the Janome 7330. After seeing the two machines work, I did feel that the Janome was better made and more sturdy. I felt more confident in the Janome's ability to grow with me through the years and felt it was more of the work horse that I was looking for. Twenty minutes after opening the box I was sewing. I'd never touched a machine before and I was sewing! It was as easy to use as they had told me. No weird finicky tricks to learn; just a solid machine.
The 7330 is computerized. It has a good number of stitches, including 5 different overcast stitches, three different one-step button holes, a darning stitch, and good number of decorative stitches. It has a free arm that has been great for doing the small arm and leg holes on the children's clothing I've been making. It has a foot pedal, although you can also use it sans the pedal. It has an up/down button that "remembers" if you last made the needle stay down when you stopped stitching. It also has a reverse button and an automatic needle threader. It's very easy to wind the bobbin and you just pop open the little lid and drop it in the hole. Super easy!
The instruction manual is very easy to follow and it comes with an all purpose presser foot, a satin foot (great for sewing on buttons!), a button foot, and a zipper foot. It also comes with a seam ripper, some bobbins, a brush for cleaning, a screw driver, and some plastic rings that hold the spool of thread in place.
When I told my friends that I had purchased a Janome, all of them said it was a very good brand. I found out that is a Japanese company and Janome means "eye of the snake" as it was one of the pioneers of using a round bobbin instead of a long shuttle back in the 1920's. Janome was the first to make a computerized sewing machine in the 1970's. I'm including this information b/c if you've never heard of this brand before, it's not a fly by night. It's been around for awhile and it has a very good reputation with those who know it. I also found that Janome sponsors a DIY website, threadbanger.com, which has some really neat ways to be green by reusing, recycling, and reconstructing things.
In conclusion, go to a retailer and see for yourself. It's a solid machine!!

Got the needles and haven't used them yet. The price was right and I wanted to have some spares on hand. I have no doubt that they will work very well.
Three DVD set of Pocket Sketching
FUN AND FABULOUS INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO SET. It's hard to express just how wonderful this technique is and how great a teacher this artist is. She leads you from baby-steps through actually creating paintings you can be proud of. And you do it in privacy of your home or office without stress, pausing and reviewing at your own pace. Actually, this is very stress-relieving. I found the ideas just flowing when I lost myself in my right-brain creative process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these DVD's for the creative child hiding within each of us. PS: You can easily purchase the pilot pens necessary for this technique here at Amazon: Pilot Razor Point Marker Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, Dozen Box (11001). Individual DVD's also available.
Ideal Kutrimmer 1038 Paper Trimmer
List Price: $579.00
Sale Price: $397.00
Today's Bonus: 31% Off
I know my paper cutters. I regularly used Premiers, X-actos, and even an old No. 4 I got at a yard sale. This is far and away the best of the lot, and it's not even a close race. The 1038 is simply in another class.
First, the guards. On the 1038 they're very easy to deal with. They don't slow you do and you would REALLY have to work to cut yourself. Many of the other models simply don't have guards or if they do it's the one wire to stop you from sliding your fingers under the blade. The 1038 has the stop fingers guard AND another guard that sheaths the blade when it's in its upright position. Smart.
Second, squareness. I've never adjusted the 1038, have moved it here and there and from place to place, and it's always dead on at 90 degrees. Very nice. The adjustable sliding arm also locks down at a dead on 90 degrees, which is nice. This allows for much faster work. The 1038 also has an outrigger arm that extends out to hold the cut-off part of the paper horizontal. I've never seen this on another paper cutter and it greatly helps you get the exact, 90 degree cut you want. The outrigger arm can be adjusted for any length of paper, and can be fully retracted for when you're trimming off very short pieces.
Third, performance. As noted, you get 90 degree cuts. The hold down really holds down the paper, so even when you're cutting many sheets you get no shifting. I have cut up to 30 sheets at a time, and I'm sure I could do more (I believe the machine is rated up to 40). You get nowhere near this amount on other machines. Go above 8 or 9 on a Premier and the paper will shift and you'll get a mess. The table is also very smooth and has a hard painted finish, which means if you spill some glue or Coke on it it can easily be scrubbed off. In a real working environment this is going to happen, and once you've tried working on a sticky paper cutter you'll know how important this is. Also, spare parts and service are readily available. Keep in mind that most paper cutters are designed to be thrown away when the blade gets dull. Not so this beast.
I suggest you watch the video on youtube. It gives you a good sense of what the machine can do and how it works. Overall, it's fantastic. It's German made and allows you to work very quickly and to get excellent results. Do I have any complaints? Not really. The arm does not automatically rise up after a cut the way it does on other cutters. This is a safety feature, I believe, but in some ways it's rendered moot by the blade sheath. Regardless it's not a pain to simply raise the arm back up yourself.
I love this machine. In my job I use it every day and will for years to come. It's quality and will last many a lifetime. With things like this, things you will use regularly, this machine is a strong argument for the old saying: buy the best and cry once about the high price, or buy the cheap one and cry every time you use it about the poor performance.
50 Red Teardrop Czech Glass Beads Beading Parts 6mm
List Price: $8.99
Sale Price: $6.50
Today's Bonus: 28% Off
Received this item very quickly from the Supplier.
The beads are simply perfect for my jewelry projects, with top attachment rather than through the middle of the bead. When i started my search, i thought i wanted a faceted bead. However, upon receiving these, i am glad i decided against facets.
Since my taste tends to lean toward goth, the dark red (but not TOO dark) beads look like small blood drops for bracelets, chokers, and/or necklaces.
Overall, a great transaction which i will be repeating soon!
