The title of this says refill pack (set of 10), which for the price I thought meant more than just 10 pages. Very disappointed at this overpriced product!

These look great on jean shorts! One thing I noticed is that they tarnished after I bleached shorts, but I think any studs with nickel finish will do that. Will buy again!

they came quickly, were in good condition, and were and affordable price. I got exactly 100 studs and they look great on the shorts that I studded. to be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how big 3/8" was, so for those who are like me, it's smaller than a dime and about the size of my fingernail. I don't know if that size comparison helps much, but I hope it does. I would definitely recommend these studs for anyone that wants to add a little something extra to a piece of clothing

Reviews of addi Click Interchangeable Knitting Needles Sets

addi Click Lace Long Tip Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle System
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
The Addi Click Natura needle set is wonderful!

I have other brands of interchangable needles. My first set was the inexpensive Denise. The work fine, but the cords are too thick for magic loop knitting, where the excess cord sticks out. I have Knitpicks interchangables, and they have a very nice point for fine work, but they screw together. On some, the connection cannot be tighened enough to prevent loosening, and I really hate having to stop every row to tighten. It's really a mess when they come off mid-row. The Knitpicks cords are fine. The surface on the Knitpicks needles is smooth, but a bit sticky like paste wax and some yarns really don't slide well.

The Addis are GREAT. The bamboo is very smooth, and only slightly slower than metal needles (a plus for me, as I don't lose stitches off the needles as easily). Tips are more rounded than the Knitpicks, but I'm knitting with a fuzzy alpca yarn now w/o problems. The cords are flexible and do magic loop well. The joins are nice and smooth the best of all the sets I have and they stay together w/o any worries (they bayonet in and twist into a j-shaped channel.) I've read the Addi Lace Clicks lace have shorter needle attachments, and I was concerned that these would not be as comfortable to knit with. The needle attachments on the bamboo Clicks are long enough to hold and manipulate comfortably. These are a great set. I cringed at the price because I'd been disappointed with various things about other sets, and had to buy these w/o trying them. I feel the Addis are the go-to set for me, and are as good as they should be. I'd buy them again. I'm a VERY happy knitter with these.

I purchased these for myself for Christmas. And I do like them! It's nice having all those sizes at my fingertips. And the tips are slick and slippery and it makes me knit a lot faster. And the way the needles connect to the cables is really easy no keys to tighten them. It's great!

BUT the cables. Ugh. These cables kink up and stay kinked up. I can't get them to straighten out! It's annoying and after spending this kind of money on a set of needles, I feel like I shouldn't have to fight with a cable that kinks. I have an old set of size 2 Addi Turbo's that I bought years and years ago and those cables do not kink up yet the cables being used in the kit are not the same as the cables from my old set of 2's.

My overall experience with these are good so I gave it the three stars because they are an awesome set of needles. Aside from the kinky-thing... :)

Best Deals for addi Click Interchangeable Knitting Needles Sets

I am new to knitting and a friend suggested purchasing a needle set from the start. I researched the options and was very confused by the drastically different prices for various needle sets and all the conflicting feedback. In the end, I opted for the Addi interchangeable set. I love it! The cables lock into the needles, so there are no tools to lose or risk of over tightening the screws. They never come undone until you want them to. The needles are sized perfectly to fit in my hands comfortably and the cables never kink. You do need to straighten the cables after you unpack them. They come tightly wound for shipping, but I never had another problem and they fit back into the case easily. I am very happy with this purchase. I understand that needles are a personal choice. If you have the money to spurge, I would suggest the Addi Interchangeable set.

You can shop around and find them on sites for a few dollars difference. I opted to purchase through Amazon because I felt more secure with the site.

Happy Knitting!

Honest reviews on addi Click Interchangeable Knitting Needles Sets

I've been knitting since I was about 6 or 7 and believe me, that is a very long time. From the moment that I discovered Addi Turbos, they've been my favorite needle. I've loved their heft, their smooth join, their shiny, slick surface and the audible click they make when I'm knitting a project. This, of course, is entirely subjective but as far as I'm concerned Addi Turbos are the finest knitting needles ever produced.

Over the years, I've collected hundreds of needles of various materials. I've tried plastic, wood, bamboo and different types of metals. I always come back to Addi. When I learned a few years ago that Skacel was coming out with a line of interchangeable Addis, I was thrilled, that is until I realized that I already had far more needles than I could ever use, including two interchangeable sets from other manufacturers.

Although I suppressed it for a few years, the desire to own these needles never left me and recently and happily, I succumbed. The Clicks are everything I imagined and more. The needle tips themselves are of the same quality as my individual Addis and important to me, they feel and even sound the same. The cables are soft and supple and I've experienced no problems with kinking or curling. The joining mechanism is pure genius. It's fast and easy and requires no tools. Yet it produces a smooth, seamless join that's very strong and secure. At the same time, it's easy to undo when you're ready. Even the presentation is well done. And the company stands behind its products and offers a lifetime guarantee from manufacturer's defects.

For anyone who has used and liked Addi Turbo needles, I recommend the Click system without reservation.

Although I don't knit, I bought this product for my wife, who does so passionately and she tells me that it is the unrivaled champion of knitting needle sets. Basically, the addiclick set has everything one might need to knit most projects and because all of it is interchangeable, it's straightforward and highly portable. Highly recommend as a gift for the knitter in your life.

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in March. As a child my grandmother taught me how to embroider and she was an avid fan of Aunt Martha's transfers. I found this transfer set after we selected Noah's Ark for the nursery theme. The main piece (the giant Ark wuiith animals) is absolutely gorgeous! I enjoyed selecting the colors and working the piece. My only negative is I was with separate "two by two" animals were as well created. While the Ark has a lot of detail the separate small animal pieces lack in detail and aren't as spectacular. My mother is currently working on creating the quilt and I'm confident it will all come together.

I used to work at an art supply store, so I tried several brands of watercolor paint. This was the first watercolor tube paint I tried, as I had previously only used cakes. Nothing I was painting was coming out the way I wanted them to. I was getting so frustrated with this stuff. It's got such large grains that is really hard to work with and some of the colors were not very lightfast, meaning that they fade easily.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, even if you are just a student or starting out. The frustration level is so high with these paints that you might give up painting completely.

Of course, Windsor and Newton is better, but there are some other good paints out there for less money. Utrecht's private label stuff is pretty good, as is DaVinci. my favorite best bargain watercolor was Liquitex watercolors, but they were soon discontinued after being released. I don't know why. That was really nice stuff. You can always water down Liquitex acrylics and use them as watercolors. Really, almost anything is better than this product.

I know some artists who like the results they get with this, so you mileage may vary.

I own a small glass etching business which focuses mostly on drinkware and Christmas ornaments. We have been using Armor Etch for years, as there is no alternative in our area. Recently I was at Michael's and they were out of AE, but I discovered Martha Stewart etching cream. We could not wait to buy our usual stuff, so even though it was more expensive, I bought Martha Stewart. I am so glad I did! It does not have any of the problems that AE does. There are no unetched spots which seem to appear when we use AE because of crystals that are in the cream. Also, it offers a significantly smoother finish. There are no brush marks which we frequently see with on our other works. The smell is even far less offensive. Might be more expensive, but is well worth the investment!

This is my first time using Martha Stewart Etching Cream like another reviewer, I have always used Armour Etch. I thought I'd try the Martha Stewart version since I like the idea of having less odor...but after three tries on three different pieces of glass, I simply cannot get this stuff to work. It seems very runny, not pasty like the Armour Etch that I'm used to, and is sort of an icky brown color. I could get over the runniness if it actually ETCHED, but there is literally not a scratch on any of the glass I tried to use this product on. Since everyone else loves it, I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but this particular bottle is definitely going in the trash. Bummed. :(

Okay, I bought these markers for my daughter who is very talented with drawing. I thought what on earth could these markers do that a cheaper set could not. Well for one thing, they blend. Have you ever used a marker and tried to fill in an area and you get that darker line where the two lines overlap. Doesn't happen with these markers. I was blown away by her results. I have seen her marker pictures before and this was far and away a better picture.

Let me say that for the price, these are for serious artists. But if you are a serious artist; then these markers are worth the price.

This color combination was very well thought out. It's a perfect starter kit for my manga-loving daughter, as she is just beginning to use Copic markers. She is able to do full drawings using this set alone. The quality was great and the price was lowest I could find (and I really searched). Shipping was fast. The illustration on the front of the set uses the colors included in the set and gives a realistic view of what they look like. Highly recommend.

okay, i think this is my first review of a product ever! but when i was looking around for sewing machines i found it very frustrating that there were not any reviews on some things so i thought that i would do my part =D

first of all, this machine is amazing!! before purchasing this, i was using an older White machine and it was electric...i was always having problems with the bobbin and threading and it not working etc. i have no had one problem since i first started using this machine (about 2 months ago now). i do need to add that this machine sees daily use...we cloth diaper in our family and i have been making an entire stash for my son and my soon to be daughter. this machine can sew through multiple layers of fabric (thick fabric) without a problem!

my favorites:

-no electricity needed for this machine to work

-super easy to thread

-the most amazing bobbin system i have ever used (SO easy)

-very strong, sturdy machine

this machine is mostly metal which is hard to come by now a days...there are some plastic parts but the pieces that matter are metal...i bought an old treadle sewing cabinet off of craigslist for about $40 and this fit into it just fine....i bought a singer sewing cabinet

you will need to purchase a belt separately and they are about $12, you can just google treadle belts and various sites will pop up, they are a standard length and you cut them down to size according to your cabinet and machine.

you wont regret this purchase!!

I live off of the grid, with a teeny tiny electrical system. Electricity is at a premium here, and this sewing machine is awesome! I love it; it's easy to use and so fun! It's a lot quieter than an electric machine, and because it has its own table, there is a lot less fuss setting it up. Great quality machine--I love it!

Double check with the merchant to make sure that the belt comes with the machine. :) They were really helpful when I sent them an e-mail letting them know that I didn't have a belt. I got lucky and found a cabinet with a belt (an old one), but when I told the company that it wasn't included, they got back to me right away and told me they'd ship one. I haven't received it yet, but I am sure that I will.

Update--never received belt. Quite unfortunate. 5 stars for the machine (it's awesome), and 1 star for poor customer service--not having received the belt.

This machine is nice. We were not able to use it right away as the treadle belt and the mounting screws were missing. Otherwise the machine is great.

Honest reviews on Janome Treadle Powered Sewing Machine 712T

I am already in the middle of making my second queen sized jeans quilt with this machine. When I make these quilts, I leave on pockets, belt loops, and even the leather tags on the waist. This machine has no problem sewing right through all of that. It seems very sturdy and well built. It has a great bobbin system, so easy to load and you can always see how much bobbin thread you have left. This is also the easiest, quickest machine to thread that I have had yet.

I already had an old Singer table, it was a hand me down from my mother-in-law, it is great to finally be able to use it the way it was intended. Getting the belt on was a bit tricky but then again, that was all new to me as I had never put on a belt before or even run a treadle machine. Like anything else, it is a learning process that gets easier once you have done it a couple times. If you have never done this yourself, it can be helpful to look up youtube videos on how to put the belt on and the best foot placement for running the treadle.

The machine did come with a belt but I went ahead and ordered extras to have on hand if I ever need them.

Yes, it is more "work" running a treadle machine than an electric, but that is one of the things I love about it the most. I love the self sufficiency and the total leg and lower back work it gives me while also being productive in making something myself. Who needs to waste money on gym memberships when you can do simply do something like this for yourself? It is a great feeling all the way around!

I have had this sewing machine for 8 years and use it a lot. As far as I am concerned this machine is perfect. I mounted it on my old singer treadle cabinet, and it was a perfect fit. I used the spare belts that I had for my old Singer, and haven't needed to buy a new belt (I still have a couple left). I sew our family clothes, quilts and other household items. It does so much more than just straight stitch, as most old treadles do. It's perfect for me.

We live off grid. We have a very small solar charger and battery that is adequate for charging laptop and cell phones, and not much else.

I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who loves to sew. It is a real joy to use.
