Although this may be unrelated to the kit, Do I need to buy canvas or can I follow Bob with A4 papers? to save money...

I doubt you'd get the same effects from paper because of the texture difference. We keep an eye out for sales at Michaels on economy canvas. (they have them often). We've also made our own out of 1by2s and flea market fabric.

You can do only A4 size paper. It doesn't allow bigger size paper. Also if I try to do small pictures it doesn't recognize them. I have to place them on a blank A4 and then scan them.

If this is a question that is asking for rug braiding supplies, does that mean that you are inquiring about this particular starter kit? If so, the directions are very good to excellent about creating braided rugs, mats, placemats, etc. The little metal cone that folds thin fabric is good for that, but for thicker fabric, it isn't sufficient. That part is done best by hand folding and pressing with a hot steam iron. The needle for lacing is good if you have no other large curved needle for upholstery work or if that style. Overall, I think that this kit is worth the money in that it has excellent illustrations in the diagrams and photos in the book, answers many questions you would think of while trying to do this craft. I am glad I purchased mine and intend to make many more items using this kit. Hope this helps answer your question.

The kit includes the canvas bag and the square trivet that fits on top. Both are handy but not necessary. Depends on how much money you care to spend.

I would watch AA sales and buy things separately. The pause box is useless, I do not think he will be comfortable in the chute and building your own weave poles is pretty easy. Sometimes AA has great sales and you could find a tunnel for him for less money than this set.

No you would not need the entire kit. It does however come as a kit and is well worth the investment.

I would see what a local canvas shop would charge, but it might be just as cheap to buy a new one. Do you have any contact info for the company? Did you try Amazon customer service for their contact ph. #?

Hi Jerry, I'm doing the same. Did these work for your canvas? Thanks in advance for your reply! :)

I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is the easiest program to pick up. The tools and interface are a snap to learn. I've had the 2012 edition and currently have the 6th edition and they just keep getting better. All the brushes, pens, pencils just look more natural. Plus it's cheap compared to photoshop and adobe illustrator. I believe I paid 40$ each for both versions. They just came out with the 7th wich I am planning to upgrade soon. Go on youtube and watch what people can do with this program. It's amazing and beautiful. You will instantly want to buy it as soon as you finish the video.

I did use copy paper and was fine for awhile, and then the light just was in one place, Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby and brought me an adult one with 40% coupon and so, it lasted awhile, But if you are going to be using it a lot like I was invest in a upgraded one from the art dept. If for a child It will be good for awhile. I Did use copy paper, tried cardstock that was to heavy. Good Luck on which ever you decide.

This kit has some great stuff in it but I haven't had to use it yet so, you could make your own or skip the hassle.

Indeed, no, but the "people also bought" kit that's suggested works fine. Or just toss it in there. :p

Yes, it will work just fine. They do really good with converting standard size images to a bigger canvas, but the better the picture the better it will turn out. I was really happy with the way mine turned out. I used a picture that was a little fuzzy and the canvas looked a little fuzzy like the picture, but the quality was great besides that.

You get the sample versions of ink so you could use it right away. I would purchase the #564 multi pack and an addition extra large black. The ink is relatively inexpensive.

if you are using alone, card stock. If using backed with card stock, I would use the paper. I backed with Black cardstock and the paper was perfect weight.

Only if you really want to. Because of the larger surface area of the kit panel lining and painting by default will be a lot more if you choose to do it but this kit is pretty much anime accurate just out of the box so it looks great without it.
