Pros
Potential in this medium is great. It takes quite a learning curve with firing schedules, but once you get through that, it's a lot of fun. Don't give up!

Cons
Need to copy using home laser printer. Professional copiers get too hot. Remove tissue covering you can't really see before copying. Fuse at 1300 if on glass surface; 1450 with cap.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I find these easy to work with by covering them with primo primer. I fired them the first time using shelf paper while doing my initial experimenting so that when I put the primo primer on them it would stick better because normally they have to be fired first before covering with primer. And, I love the different sizes.

Cons
Haven't had any problems thus far. Would love to be able to buy them separately.

Other Thoughts
What am I still doing here? I need to get back to the kiln! :)

Pros
I purchased Glass Eye 2000 and have been very happy with it. I enjoy features of being able to acquire images from differnt sources and use them as background images to make or incorporate into a pattern that I am making. I also like the feature of being able to copy sections from the many patterns in the Pattern Designs in Glass Eye into the patterns I am making. The best feature is that it will print out the size pattern I want, no more off to the blueprint shop for my pattern enlargements or multipal copies. I can also zoom into a particular area of my pattern and can easily see where I need more or less to get the effects I want in the pattern. The Help Section, which I have used with ease, has answered most of my questions or given me solutions. My husband made a pattern in 2 hours without knowing how to use the program or taking the Tutorials it comes with. I highly recommend it!

Cons
I should have purchased it sooner.

Other Thoughts
I feel it has enhanced my pattern design work and has helped me in my preformance as a stained glass artist.

Other Thoughts
I made a g-clef clock for our friend to celebrate his cd release. the mechanism fit without any problem...very secure!!

Pros
Wasn't sure I would like using a machine to help save time in foiling, but after just a few pieces of foiling on this machine, it cut foiling time in half. Mounted machine on heavy board so I can reposition it as necessary to achieve the best location and keep it portable. Would recommend highly.

Cons
none that I have found

Other Thoughts

Pros
Great to work with, cuts well! It is a great asset to our studio!

Cons
Sometimes the pegs slip out of grid base -just have to be careful when cutting. Tiny circles (are kind of tedious, but do-able) Not as sturdy as a lens cutter for tiny circles.

Other Thoughts
I pride myself on how I hand cut circles, but if you have many to do or want a little help... I highly recommend this product!

Pros
Absolutely love it. Very easy to use plus they get a cleaner cut

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
I would highly recommend them to anyone. Beginner or advanced

Pros
Nice looking, sturdy and attractive finish. Tried it and have made additional purchases. Has a look of class, much better than others I have tried. Good value for the price.

Cons
Nothing really
