To people complaining about purchasing from Temu, most of the items you buy from local stores are also made in China. We all enjoy crafting, but cost is a massive factor.
I got two of those same thread snips and tossed them because the blades were bowed and didn't meet to cut thread. They were the same price and it was going to cost more money to return than what I paid for them. A couple of items arrived broken, plastic was cracked, which was surprising since they were well packaged. So much to look at when viewing TEMU that it becomes overwhelming! I bought items from all their categories, cosmetics, clothing, sewing (rotary cutter and blades, scissors, silicone cleaning tools, zippered project pouches, craft mats, silicone grippers for rulers, marking pens, place mats that were pretty funny and I made machine covers with), crafting (rubber stamps, wax melts, stickers), tools (cutters and blades), kitchen, bathroom - really a lot of variety and was happy with 90% - the other 10% wasn't worth returning.
Thank you for your comment Gina 😊. As yet, we haven't found anything broken. I do think their packaging needs to be improved and a bit more thought given to packing items like the scrapbooking paper. This was our first haul and we are happy with what we got. We have purchased some more items so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
I received another package today, magnets and various pins that I'm going to make into needle minders to give to my quilting friends. One is Jack the Ripper reading the newspaper that has a headline "Jack the Ripper strikes again!" I thought that was hysterical since we all have dates with Jack and rip our seams out. My friends will get a kick out of it. All the kitchen stuff I got has worked fine and been great. The cosmetics are also good. Haven't tried the skincare and the clothing (tee shirts) is really soft. Oh! I bought a couple of insulated lunch totes to use for irons! They are fantastic, made well and hold a mini and medium size iron (one was a mini bowling bag style and the other was a Hello Kitty that could also be used for cosmetics).@@alandacraft
Oh I love the Jack the Ripper idea, that's classic. Ohmigod I can see Temu becoming a bit of an obsession. They have so much great stuff to choose from.
We did get some great items, and we received a second haul from them that has more fabric and notions in it. We decided not to do a haul video but just mention the items as we use them. So far we have made a couple of quilts and talked about their knitting bag. We have been very lucky as Temu provided us with these products to review. However, we have purchased some other items and apart from the fact that their packaging leaves much to be desired, the items have been good quality.
I have to say I'm a bit of a fan as well. I have yet to try the circle cutter, but I have some birthdays coming up so will give it a try out when making the cards.
The dough whisk is nice. I have one on a long wooden handle which gives a little more leverage. You will enjoy using it. The sharpener is likely to be a bust for the rotary blade. It will be impossible to get a correct blade edge around the tool in a uniform manner. Coolest thing you showed....the hook for handling battered meats.
Its called a pigs tail. It turns your food without ripping the coating.off the meat. I use it to turn vegetables (fried eggplant) and to drag meat through flour and egg. It works great, as does the blending fork for mixing up biscuits, pie crusts, ect...have a great day!
Thank you Elaine 😊. I have to say I love both these items and they are getting a lot of use. I make deep fried buttermilk chicken and the pigs tail makes it soe easy to coat the chicken and pop into the fryer.
Thank you Margaret 😊. The fabric swatches have made lovely tissue holders. Here is a link to that video www.alandacraft.com/2023/10/27/pocket-tissue-holder-tutorial/
That's great Colleen 😊. There was so much in this haul that I haven't gotten around to using as yet. Especially the paper craft items. But videos for them is on the list
Soooo we must be kindred spirits as I am a quilter, paper crafter, and needle felter. I have purchased almost all the same items from Temu. It cracked me up to see your haul as it was almost identical to mine (over the past year). Just subscribed.
I really like mine and they have held up well considering that I usually put them in my pocket if I’m in a hurry after sewing and don’t want the cats to play with them. I have washed them and they are still good
All great products. I haven't tried the glue spreader yet but I'm looking forward to getting back into my paper craft where they will get a great workout. I love the tool holder, it is so handy.
I am loving my pig tail cooking tool and the pin cushion. They have had the most use so far. Although I did use the fabric in the tissue holders video we did recently and it worked really well.
The silicone basket for your air fryer is nice. I did read that foods don’t get crunchy on the bottom in the silicone basket. I don’t know if it is true.
I've used it a couple of times but can't remember how things went, other than I like it. But I will take particular notice next time. I do tend to cook things I want to be crunchy, on the rack.
That’s great to hear. I’m finding the quality of the items we have received, to be quite good. I must admit they are much better than what I was expecting.
I would support my local craft store but we only have Wayne’s world and cost plus locally. Spotlight and lincraft are expensive for most things. There’s nothing wrong with Temu if that’s all you can afford.
@@KC-nb3st I totally understand. Quilt shops around me are few and far between leaving just Joann and HobbyLobby and those aren’t close either. I also bought 2 packs famous brand name charm packs online and the fabric used in those is so thin, that 4 years later I still haven’t used them. The best shop for me is 30 miles one way. I just have to plan better and make my trip worth while and take advantage of sales. But I’m going to hold off on Temu! I do wish you the best in your quilting endeavors!
I am very happy with the results for the ones I have used so far. I used the jigsaw die in a recent card for my great grandson www.alandacraft.com/2024/02/09/dog-birthday-card-flip-through/ and I've run a couple of others through the Sizzix just to try them out and had no problems. I do run them through a few times just to make sure they have cut through, but I do that with the Sizzix dies as well.
I agree don’t buy. They have been given an enormous advertising budget. They want Amazon and others to go out of business. Leaving them the only online service. The products are copies of things others have spent time creating and advertising. Most things are really rubbish on first sight or soon after use. Being produced by slave labor without any quality control. So many reasons. They want China to rule the world. Along with other communist countries.
I have been shopping at TEMU and most of the time I am satisfied with the products but there are that are not worth buying again like fabrics. I will stick with my local fabric shop. There are few rulers that I bought too but there are few that I am not happy coz its a thin plastic ruler, luckily it didn't break during the transport process coz it is not packed properly.
Thank you for your comment ☺️. Yes, I totally agree their packaging is not great. We received a scrapbooking pack that was folded to fit into the bag, rendering it almost useless. I have to be honest and say that the fabric I have received is somewhat thinner than more expensive quilting cotton, but I have had no problems sewing with it and it looks good when it's finished. I have made two quilts now and some tissue holders and they have all come out great. The fabric is comparable to a lot of the fabric we get at our local Spotlight store at a much higher price.
We need to remember that Temu is like Amazon, they don't actually make anything, they sell products on behalf of thousands of manufacturers. We often find the same products on Amazon but sold under the manufacturers name. From my personal experience I haven't had any problems with the quality of the items. Some of the material is not 100% quilting cotton but is cotton twill.
😢 why would you purchase so much cheap stuff from China. My husband buys their junk and many items break or are useless. If you download the app, make sure you change your passwords often on that device. Plus he’s been receiving so much spam, it’s unreal.
Thank you for your comment. We haven't had a problem with the items we have received. The dies work well and the fabric sews up nicely. And I can't rave enough about my pig tail tool, it has made coating chicken and meat a much cleaner and quicker process. I would be hard pressed to find anything here in Australia that doesn't come from China or other parts of Asia. I also checked on Amazon and found that most of the exact same items I received are available on Amazon.
@@alandacraftI saw your review new watcher. I can save you re the chicken, get a freezer bag fill with about a cup of flour salt and pepper chuck the chicken in and shake. Once you’ve finished you can just throw the bag out no cleaning up of one dish. We got hello fresh one time with panko bread crumbs much better than breadcrumbs. When I do use breadcrumbs I mix with Parmesan or mixed herbs. Those quilting rulers look great love to see a review of them. Enjoy 😊 Jodie Melbourne
Thank you so much for this video ! Want to give you a tip too: I use the tool you bought to cut circles, to cut circles of freezer papers to use them when I want to insert circles in quilts. This is the best method I found on TH-cam from Teresa, and it works perfectly every time. The only difference, I cut the paper using the tool versus the scissor.

Thank you so much for the tip, I really appreciate it 😊. I will certainly give it a go. I will also head over to Teresa’s video for a look, thank you for the link.
even if you didn't get paid for this review, beware of "unsavory labor practices" of Temu - th-cam.com/video/tg3_-fSdFXs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G16VLiW132PUm6E4
Thank you so much for your comment!! It upsets more and more about people - and now quilters making purchases from a Communist country which is where TEMU originates no matter what they try to tell us. Plus you are not supporting your local shops (thus Includes those wonderful online shops) and thus could cause them to go out of business. For so many years reasons I won’t watch videos from this place any longer as they are supporting so many inhumane things!
Please do not buy from this company. They have terrible human rights issues for their employees. Also they secure much more personal information about you personally than is necessary for a transaction. Also any contact will result in a bombardment of continuous ads. Support your local economy or at least do not buy from a Chinese company.
I am assuming you also don't trade with Amazon or use Google, Microsoft, Apple or any other big business. Maybe you should check out their unethical practices, they all have them and they are not very nice either. Unfortunately we have very few choices these days and although we try to support local businesses as much as possible, they are often expensive and don't have the range of products that we use. Especially here in Australia.
@@alandacraft they are in court again this week for failing to secure customers personal data. It is your own risk if you give them your card payment details😕
@@nbc911 Telling people to stop doing things is not going to get you anywhere. You can’t demand people stop what they are doing. I’m sure you have faults of your own. I’ve been buying from Temu since the beginning and haven’t had any problems. You don’t know if this is not the careless doing of the people who are taking them to court, and you probably will never know the truth. You can’t go by hearsay. That’s how rumors start from people like you who love to spread gossip. Temu would probably settle out of court because it would be cheaper to pay than prove their innocence or guilt. So…if you told me to stop, what would make you think I’m going to listen to you?
Many of Temus products are sourced from the same suppliers as recognised brands. Just because its an American company, it doesn't mean all, or any of those parts are manufactured in America. Don't kid yourself. Many of their work practices are unethical but that is the world of multinational business. I'm not comfortable with the over consumption of the world we live in, I think it has to change but I don't blame one, or one handful of companies for it. We need massive social change to happen, but pointing fingers at one country isn't going to help.
To people complaining about purchasing from Temu, most of the items you buy from local stores are also made in China. We all enjoy crafting, but cost is a massive factor.

A useful critique on the items you purchased. It helps when making considered purchases, so thank you for taking the time to give your opinions.
Thank you Mary 😊. Temu really has so much stuff available and we are finding the quality is quite good.
I’ve never personally purchased from Temu, you got some fun sewing items❤
We did get some great items, and we received a second haul from them that has more fabric and notions in it. We decided not to do a haul video but just mention the items as we use them.

I’m so glad you made this video. It introduced me to some new quilting tools and their use! Thank you for taking the time to show us!
Thank you Karen 😊. I'm really happy with the quality.
Thank you for getting right to the descriptions; not a lot of rubbish talking.
😊 Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed information, i will definitely come back to your channel 😊
I love Temu. I have the circle cutter…great! I have the bobbin holders, crafting items, kitchen items. Makeup! Good stuff!

Excellent Lynn 😊. So far we like everything we have used from the haul. The only problem was the scrapbooking paper which came folded.
I love temu. Have fun. Like I do with my haul❤❤❤
Very good video and info. I definitely will be looking for the beautiful frame die. Thanks!💜

I have the glue spreader too. I also bought the pink sewing tool holder. Mine is lime green. They are the and as the more name brand type.
All great products. I haven't tried the glue spreader yet but I'm looking forward to getting back into my paper craft where they will get a great workout. I love the tool holder, it is so handy.

I am loving my pig tail cooking tool and the pin cushion. They have had the most use so far. Although I did use the fabric in the tissue holders video we did recently and it worked really well.
I really like seeing the reviews on different products.
Me too. I'm glad you liked the video. Temu have so much stuff available at great prices making it really hard to choose.
When this company steals intellectual property and puts all our precious suppliers out of business, we can thank shoppers that are buying from TEMU.
You can also flatten paper with a hot DRY iron.
Good to know, thank you. 😊
I use a magnet for my needles. Even with a pin cushion they fall out sometimes . Metal box with magnets on top . Never loose them.
What a great idea. Thank you for the tip 😊
Great haul😊
It certainly was Judy 😊, and we are enjoying everything we received.
Excellent review
Thank you 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I have the clips as well. Works perfect. I like the ruler. May order it soon.
