Smaller than I expected, but otherwise it's great!

I wrongly assumed it would be an equivalent quality to Sookwang tape, but it is not. It works, but not as strong of an adhesive as I hoped it would be.

Nice and sturdy and although I haven't used on a project yet, the adhesive seems to be very good.

This is very dark and not blue, but more of a greeny-blue or aqua/turquoise. It is very near identical to the "Sea Monkey". I expected a vibrant sky blue or similar, as is indicated by the photo and the name of the colour. VERY dissapointed!! It isn't like these are cheap!

It is not vibrant like I expected as per the name (VIBEZ), but it does have good shimmer.

From the photo and the NAME, I expected a fiery, vibrant orange. Instead, it is a pastelly, pinkish orange when sprayed, however, it is really shimmery.

I was dissapointed at first, as it is MUCH darker in person in the bottle, but when sprayed, it is a little on the limey side. Good colour for the most part.

The name is deceiving (VIBEZ) as it is not very vibrant, more pastel than anything. It has good shimmer though.

The name is deceiving (VIBEZ) as it is not very vibrant and a LOT darker than what appears in the photo. I realize there is some colour variation to what is seen on screen, but I expected it to be much more vibrant and pink than the dark magenta colour it truely is. It has good shimmer though.

Being that it is plastic, the points tend to dull too quickly. Other than that, I consider this to be a must have! Absolutely love the way I can spruce up my paper crafts with it and the ability to be creative and come up with other ways to stitch it up.

I was very excited about this tool and had to have it. I was very blessed to receive it for Christmas and have since recommended it to several friends, some of whom have also purchased it. I love the fact that there are so many different heads, all with many possibilities and I am very excited about the new heads that will be coming out in the spring.
Of all it's good qualities (price, versatility, ease of use, size) it does have a few drawbacks, the biggest one being that the heads are made of plastic and after only a few uses with the sew easy mat, I am finding that the piercing points are dulling already. The other drawback, although minor and overcome with practice, is that it is hard to see exactly where you are putting your holes.
Two tips to better use this tool:
1) practice a few times before using it on your layouts or cards so that you can get used to the positioning of the holes, and repractice with each new head.
2) Make sure to get the Sew Easy mat!!! I thought it was silly and a waste of money until I realized that without it, you will shorten the lifespan of the heads and the tool will become less effective. I even tried a foam mousepad upside down, and while this helped, if you are doing a 12x12 layout, well, it's just better to get the mat:)
