smaller than a dime
1 of 1 found this helpful These adorable little hearts are almost 1/2 inch deep. The ease of use is as any other multiple unit mould / mold whether made from polycarbonate or silicone or the thin plastic that Lorann Oils sells. With this Mini-55 hole heart shaped mould you can create creme filled chocolates or stained glass candy; you can even bake little cakes to dip in your favorite chocolates.

Embroidery 101
47 of 47 found this helpful Wanting to purchase an embroidery machine but not truly certain as to how I would add the effects of the machine into my daily sewing routine, I was advised to purchase a machine of lesser value. Made sense to me. This Brother SE-350 has been absolutely perfect. In fact, when you add the vikant box with a usb-serial cable you are able to bring your art or downloaded artwork from the internet or your computer to this amazing embroidery machine. These two items run 130.00. You become your own limitation.
What is nice about this machine is that you place your fabrics into your hoop, and once the design has been chosen, the machine will tell you what color thread to put in and then its basically - stand back and let the machine do its work. You can actually sew on another machine while this machine does design work to other pieces.
Without the appropriate programs, perhaps one would feel this machine is too small for them, but there are many programs out there such as SewIconizer which will allow you to actually see the embroidery art on your computer, no matter what format it is in. SewWhat will allow you to convert any embroidery art to the .PES format. Combined, these two are under 100.00. The same company has SewArt which is 75.00 in comparison to the 750.00 art program found specific to this machine.
This Seller provided me with enough gadgets to go with this system to arm a small citidel and offers a superb warranty or return if you are not satisfied.
Having this system now a little better than a month and I have found free art files all over the internet, fancied up sheets with pillowcases, added new art to my just finished quilt tops, changed old dresses into something new and even added a few things to my neices dresses. In fact, after walking my 8 year old neice through the steps of putting the thread into the self threader, she was able to read what color thread to put in next and had the patience to stand there watching it sew while I was off doing other things.
Be certain to check out youtube and other online video places to look at embroidery machine video's. All of them are basically the same with the same features, the only difference will be in the size of the hoop and the size you are able to embroider. This is a most excellent machine for a beginner or even medium seamstress, especially if you understand the art of re-hooping or just like window panes moving your hoop to work with art that has been split so that you can create a much larger piece of work.
Lastly, you will also want to learn about stablizer's that go beneath your fabric whether knit, cotton, or satin so that your fabric does not move or shift while your machine is doing its job.

unlevel plus can't fill to top (see parts that hold two sides together in picture)
Look carefully at the picture. Some of this can be overcome. We are going to try to use some of the super huge black paper clips to hold these together the next time around and will try to let everyone know how that goes. Using those super huge clips will allow this Mold to sit flat and therefore you can top off your mold pouring. What they currently are using to clip at top and bottom no matter where you purchase these is not level. Hard Candy, Gummy and Chocolate.... also for lollipop. We found the loranoils site has the best strawberry. Good luck!
