Mundial 585-CS Specialty Forged 6" Applique Scissors, Pelican Bill/Offset Blades Review

Mundial 585-CS Specialty Forged 6 Applique Scissors, Pelican Bill/Offset Blades
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased these scissors for a project I was doing with a reverse applique. They worked great and cut through the knit fabric with no problem at all and they weren't too heavy in my hand, which was a big plus. They were very comfortable to use once I got the hang of the odd shape. I would recommend these scissors if you do reverse appliques, for sure.

Rowenta DX8900 Professional Iron with No Auto Shut-Off Review

I am a professional seamstress, handweaver and I iron fabric off and on all day, every day, five days a week.
I have bought many irons in my 30 years in business. And have paid large sums of money for some of them.
This iron is the best all around iron on the market today. I don't say that lightly either. It does pull more power with it's heavy duty electric cord, I expect my electric bill will go up slightly now that I use this exclusively on my fabrics..... But the finished product is so much nicer and I get the professional finish I want to have on my handwovens. The added cost is worth the finished product.

Bedazzler - The Original Be Dazzler Rhinestone and Stud Setting Machine Review

Bedazzler - The Original Be Dazzler Rhinestone and Stud Setting Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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....

Cricut Cartridge, Storybook Review

Cricut Cartridge, Storybook
Average Reviews:

ADORE this cartridge. I use this thing for more designs than any other cartridge I own, not that I own that many. It is SO versatile, and this is coming from a mom with two boys and NO girls. I use it for my own scrapbook (kind of a physical journal I'm putting together about me, and the only place I really can use my girlie supplies!) AND for our family scrapbook. There are a few birds, pretty flowers, and awesome borders, accents... I mean, I could go on. I LOVE the versatile shapes, including scalloped circles, ovals, squares, rectangles... There's a branch with flowers that I absolutely love... I simply don't have enough time to sit and write all of the things I love about this cartridge!
The alphabet does have a dreamy quality to it, but it also has a decidedly Western feel to it (cut it in brown), which is perfect for accenting pages for my family and my boys, too. It also has a fancy alphabet that is so incredibly beautiful, I use it to accent and label all of my supplies.
All in all, if you're debating over this cartridge vs. another one, I'd say go for this one, hands down! I think Cricut may have lost themselves some business with this one because, seriously, I don't even care about buying more cartridges now that I have this one.

This site is extremely misleading. They hawk free add-ons, do not prominently diplay the associated exorbitant S&H charges, and do not reveal the total charges until after the transaction is complete. S&H ended up BEING OVER 50% OF MY ORDER!!!! When I called their "customer Service" I was told that the system will not have my order for 24-48 hours and there was nothing they could do. Sketchy and scammy at best. No resolution to date. DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER WITH THEM!

Gingher G-6R 6-Inch Knife-Edge Appliqué Scissors Review

I've done all forms of needle crafts all my life but have never owned applique scissors until these. Now I wish I'd discovered them years ago. Trimming goes much quicker and there's no worry of "accidentally" cutting into a design or background if used properly, letting the large blade be your shield and guide, making them useful for any close trimming, not just applique.
All that's said about them in the description and reviews is true.

With its durable double-plated chrome-over-nickel finish, this pair of 6-inch knife-edge appliqué scissors features a unique design best suited for appliqué work, embroidery, and rug making. The paddle-shaped blade pushes away the bottom layer of fabric or embroidery backing for a clear cutting path and flawless, controlled cuts close to the stitching. In addition, its offset handle creates a comfortable hand position above the work surface. The appliqué scissors measure 1-1/2 by 1-4/5 by 6 inches and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
