Stainless Steel Scissors - 14" - Paper, Fabric Review

Stainless Steel Scissors - 14' - Paper, Fabric
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cutting apart school pictures, scrap booking papers, and other paper and fabric crafts is really easy and fun with these scissors.I don't think I would have ever bought myself a pair of these scissors. But, I had received them as a gift, and I really like them. I can easily cut long straight lines of paper or fabric, with just one snip! Worked well for large quilt squares.They're really sharp from the handle to the tip. A funny looking, but very handy, item to have around. :)

Miele Rotary Iron Review

Miele Rotary Iron
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this rotary iron for two months and absolutely adore it.Will admit that I like to iron and coveted this ironing machine for several years before making the substantial financial investment.I also have an Ironite Mangle that I purchased used about five years ago and although I still love the Ironite, the Miele is a major mechanical leap forward.What I love best about the Miele is the foot press that automatically controls the ironing plate.Also like the fact that the iron has three heat settings and actually gets hot enough to quickly iron my Italian cotton sheets. I love to sleep on ironed sheets and pillowcases and I can iron a King size sheet with the Miele in about four minutes. For optimal results you really need to dampen the cotton sheets prior to ironing - which I accomplish by spraying the sheets with scented linen water and seasoning in a plastic bag for about 15 minutes before ironing.The linen water (Vodka, Lavender & Peppermint essential oil mixed with water)really provides an aroma therapy effect.So if you have nice linens and want to keep them in excellent condition, the Miele is a must.

Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Template-Set G - Small Hexagon Set 9/Pkg Review

Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Template-Set G - Small Hexagon Set 9/Pkg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The ruler comes with a little booklet on cardstock with basic advice for using it. I'm a math person, so I find it really easy to use and understand, but I can see how it may be confusing for others. I also bought Marti Mitchell's book that goes with it, which is good and helpful, but it arrived later, and I was impatient. I recommend the book for ideas, but wait until you get it! I just started buying fabric, which ended up being very foolish as I loved a different pattern than I thought I would, which made my purchases unuseable.

When it comes down to it, the ruler is great and the book is helpful. Go for it. I will make lots of kaleidoscope quilts in the future, they are fun to cut and make. The book has instructions on how to keep the block flatter where all 8 pieces meet, but I find it a bit confusing, I'm probably not doing it right, and my blocks are still a bit bulky.

Mini Mega-Rack ll-Holds 60 Spools Review

Mini Mega-Rack ll-Holds 60 Spools
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this 60-spool Mega Rack for its practicality but now appreciate it for its beauty!

The back story: I am a new crafter, picking up this hobby I began in childhood and discarded because I spent all my adult life grading essays and tests, planning lessons, and sponsoring clubs. Life as an English teacher is all-consuming. I'm done with all that. In fact, my five years as a children's librarian is about to end as well. Synchronicity rules! Last summer I took my sewing machine to school to make new covers for floor pillows, curtains for the windows, chair top covers for the birthday chairs. I thoroughly enjoyed selecting fabrics, colors, the art of sewing (OK, craft in my case), the physical act!

Then during Christmas vacation I found a McCall's pattern for these adorable cats. Since then I've made over 50. The problem with thread began with the cats! Because I work on multiple cats, I found myself changing threads and bobbins often. I have a bobbin box that holds enough bobbins ready to take out and put back in, but all those spools of thread just sat there in a disarray of colors. I found this 60-spool rack at my favorite fabric store, then began organizing the spools by color, and voila--no clutter, no disarray. Best--Organized thread at my fingertips!

What I did not expect and what I have thoroughly enjoyed is the decorative effect of those beautiful colors displayed against my white wall. (You can get a mental image through the product photo.) In fact, the artful arrangement led to to other displays of colors. But that's another story.

This story is about practicality and art. The 60-spool Mega-Rack wonderfully provides both of those!

F.A. Edmunds Adjustable Craft Floor Stand Review

F.A. Edmunds Adjustable Craft Floor Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fairly easy to assmble. One of the pieces was not drawn correctly in the instructions so that took some time to figure out how to put it together. Light to move around. The only bad point is that the height is fixed and depending on the chair I'm using at the moment, I might need the frame to be higher. You can modify the arch of the structure to fix this, but it messes up with the balance so you have to hold it down with your feet.
But over all it is a good pruchase. It really helped me to speed up my needlepointing and it takes less time to set up or to stop.
