This looks alot bigger than it actually is, I ordered it thinking the mat was much bigger, needless to say its really tiny and I returned it, you could maybe cut patches out on it but otherwise your not gonna get very far, the rotary cutters were fine, but for the price i'd have been better off buying just the rotary cutters..

The dressform is somewhat fragile due to plastic parts so I will be gentle with it. Assembly was simple. Adjustments are easy. Overall, for the Amazon price, a good deal for an adjustable form that can be pinned.

These ornaments are very detailed and just beautiful. However, they are not for the beginner. Separating and figuring out the colors takes time. Instructions for the final assembly of these stockings is a little vague, and the cord to edge the ornaments is not included. But, you definitely get some really beautiful ornaments--and quite a few for the price!

Dritz(R) Tomato Pin Cushion - Large 4 Inch Review

Dritz(R) Tomato Pin Cushion - Large 4 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The classic tomato/strawberry-shaped pin cushion. Other than size, pretty much identical to the one my mother had for decades.
I bought it for storing the pins I get from store-bought clothes, so this review is from your average guy and not a quilter or tailor.
Since this is bigger than the classic size, it'll hold a ton more pins and/or needles. Assuming I don't lose it, I'll wager this'll be the last pin cushion I'll ever need to buy. And because of this foreseen longevity, I bumped the rating from a 4 to a 5.
The design is simple and has been tested by time. You really can't go wrong.

I notified Amazon about the fact that Target is selling this cheaper than the only vendor they have listed, but apparently Amazon.com is out of stock from Target on this product, or some such thing like that.
So go to Target.com directly and save some money. I am disappointed that Amazon is not listing Target's merchandise here, as they are a partner of Amazon.

This is odd but my nephew won a pack of these in an Ebay auction thinking he was getting some kind of Metallica memorabilia. I inherited them and used them on an old Singer 591 (yes, they did fit with a bit of tinkering) and was able to patch a canvas cover for my trailer rig. I'd buy them again. Good quality. I'd give them five stars if I didn't have to tinker with my machine so much to use them.

Nostalgia Retro Hot Air Popper Review

Nostalgia Retro Hot Air Popper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Two stars because it's cute and when it works I love the popcorn. Wouldn't buy it again though (bought as a Christmas gift- THANKFULLY I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ANYONE!). Poorly made. The bottom half of the door cracked and fell off the 3rd time I used it (seemingly for no reason other than heat???). Is constantly jamming as the first reviewer said. In my case it's because the lids get stuck and the pressure of the popping corn makes it stop (can you imagine popping popcorn inside a sealed tin can- you're getting the picture). Makes very little popcorn at a time but it's SMALL so that was to be expected. There is a similar popper sold here with different styling (red & yellow- more of a "carnival" style??) that I also ordered and ended up giving as the gift. It had gotten good reviews. The popping mechanism was the same but the quality of the case was better. I was suprised that they were made by the same company. I haven't heard yet how it worked out for them. This one won't last long but I've gotten addicted to it. I'll replace it with a comercial quality one (I found them when I ordered this one for it about $100 more if I remember right). Absolutely worth the upgrade if you're planning to use this more than once. By the way, the pre-measured pouches of popcorn from Wabash Farms (yum!!!) were suggested by Amazon to go with this popper- big mistake. This is a 2oz popper and they are for 6oz poppers. I had to pry the wedged popcorn out with a screwdriver!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a new beginner in embroidery, so for me it was very nice to get these treads with a huge range of colors. Bobbins have strange numbers of colors which don't correspond to any of ranges. Some threads are broken inside bobbins; I can see the edges on the sides. Some bobbins were with glued covered paper, so I had to through away the first layer of threads. Mostly it was not any problem to embroider, but sometimes thread was broken during process without any reason. But I think it happens with all kind of threads... I think it is a good deal for beginners to study more about this interesting process, embroidering :) and it was very nice to get rack.

Although the magnifier is made of extremely sturdy materials the entire unit weighs only 3.7 ounces. For further comfort the velcro headband allows individual adjustment and the lens portion can be swung up or down as the wearer chooses.In addition, the hood is designed far enough from the forehead so that glasses can be worn when using the magnifier. The lenses measure 3-3/8" wide across the front and 1-1/8" high so you get a large field of vision. This is a terrific tool and will make a great addition to your workshop, art studio or for general use at home or work.

Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors Review

Fiskars 12-94227097 5-Inch Blunt Softgrip Scissors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an Art teacher that has been using Fiskars student scissors for 10+ years. When I received my latest order of scissors, they were of this new type with the "larger" handles (exactly like these, but without the "softgrip"). Because of the new way that the blades are seated into the handles, they are prone to become loose and wobbly, eventually rendering them impossible to cut with. This is at the plastic connection point, not the pivot screw, so they cannot be re-tightened. I have 10 year old pairs of the other style that cut better than these new ones. Furthermore, the new, "larger" handles actually have smaller finger openings-- so they are uncomfortable for larger-handed students to use or for adults to demonstrate with.
