I wish the colors could have been more "natural" for skin tones. However, I do love the smoothness and consistency that flows from the Promarkers. The seller did an outstanding job, as far as selling and packaging.

I have made felt stockings before and this is definitely the toughest one i've tackled. There are over 100 pieces to put together. It is coming along and the end result will be worth it but this is definitely not for beginners. The instructions are not very detailed and if I had never done this kind of project before I don't think I would have been able to do it with what is given.

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.

Cheap Inkadinkado Café Wood Stamp Set

Inkadinkado Café Wood Stamp Set
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Despite the outrageously growing prices for stamps and srapbooking supplies in general, these stamps are worth it in the long run. I adore the cafe scene, and each individual stamp is suitable for a variety of other purposes in addition to being used all together. This helps justify spending 15$ on stamps that are no bigger than 3" x 3" -which is why it missed on the last star. On that note, pay attention to the sizing information. They, unfortunately, have to be this small so that they can all fit together on one card. However, the details on each stamp, no matter how small, are excellent.

I loved the variety of the scissors. They are great and durable. They are however made for little kids because the finger holes are small for me (a 22 year old male). If I could change one thing, it would be to make them bigger to hold on to but I understand why this was done. If you want different scissors to be creative with, this is a good buy. Plus, it was cheaper than anything I could find elsewhere...

(#1 REVIEWER)I love this set of paper cutters.

I use the edgers for creating my own post cards and thank you cards. Si it is great to have such a nice variety of edges in this set, allows me to create a lot of unique cards.

These Edgers are high quality and they are sharp. I always get a clean cut on the first attempt whether I cut thin paper or heavier stock.

I have small hands and they are comfortable to use, but the holes are smaller than regular size scissors, so if you have large hands that is something to keep in mind. The thumb opening is 3/4 of inch wide and 1 inch long.

Overall, I am very pleased with the scissors and would recommend them.

Best Deals for Fiskars 12-93017897 Paper Edgers Set Contemporary

Wasn't too pleased with the scissors, they look more like kid scissors, kind of flimsy. I intended to use them to cut thin fabric patterns

but they were not suitable at all to cut even thin fabric. Tried with a piece of paper bonded to the fabric, but that didn't work either.

So, apparently they are just good to cut paper. Can't use them on cardboard either.

Reviews of Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools

Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. In this case, the thread is so cheap and poorly made that when I tried to use it with my sewing machine, the tread snapped. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing, so I tried again.... and it snapped again. After giving it the benefit of the doubt a few more times, I gave up and accepted that I had wasted money on poor quality thread.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The thread is wound onto the spool in such a way that I could not use it. Hard to explain... but, there was no place to start unwinding and when I started a thread by cutting one on the surface, it got stuck after a few turns because it was buried under other thread on the spool. The thread is of inferior quality, too.

Best Deals for Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools

This product is cheaply made and did not meet my expectations. I wish I wouldn't have bought them. For the price and quality I could have went to my local craft store and bought the big spools of thread and a better quality for about the same price. I would not recommend this set and I won't buy them again.

Honest reviews on Sewing Thread Set, 30 Spools

The thread is not of the greatest quality. Plus there is no way to start the thread off of the spool so you have a tangled mess if you are not careful. I needed some sewing odds and ends to repair minor tears, seam rips, hem things and accomplish small sewing tasks. This was my answer for thread. It has a variety of colors and is very inexpensive so I got what I paid for and I am OK with the purchase. It fulfills my requirements, not being a seamstress or having any sewing skills beyond the beginning level.

Crown Molding Templates Review

Crown Molding Templates
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I suppose you could easily make a set yourself, but these are inexpensive and virtually unbreakable. They are a great reference before you cut expensive trim to confirm that your miter saw is set to the correct angle/tilt. I did deduct 1 star because they come with large print labels that you place on the templates yourself, which provides the opportunity for them to get placed on the wrong template. If they were already affixed it would avoid the possibility for this mistake to happen. Better yet they could have embossed it into the templates so unlike the labels you would not have to worry about them fading away or coming off (which would also save the company the cost of labels!). All-in-all worth the purchase despite this minor shortcoming

Teaching myself to do crown molding almost drive me to drink! I made a couple of rough patterns. They helped me know if I was about to make my cut backwards, but these are much better. I can now make sure I also get the correct angle, not just the correct direction. Just pay close attention when you put the stickers on each piece. I think this product would have been better if they came labeled, but it is a small price to pay to stay sane.

I WAS NOT EXACTLY PLEASED. I ASSUMED THAT EVERYTHING SHOWN IN THE PICTURES CAME WITH THE TEMPLATES. SHAME ON ME. THERE IS NO ANGLE FINDING TOOL, OR BOOKLET / ANGLE REFERENCE TABLE. THE INSTRUCTIONS EVEN REFERENCE THE BOOKLET SHOWN BUT NOT INCLUDED AND NOT STATED. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND A GOOD ANGLE FINDING TOOL WITH A GOOD ANGLE TABLE REFERENCE. I WILL REMOVE MY POOR REVIEW WHEN THE SELLER REMOVES OR MAKES IT PLAIN TO SEE THAT NOT ALL PRODUCTS SHOWN ARE INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

I was surprised at how much coverage there is in each jar. Each jar has a small shaker top to allow sprinkling which seems to work pretty well at dispersing the flock. The first couple uses of each jar I had a little trouble with clumping and uneven distribution which seemed to go away after I used a little bit of the jar and had some more room to shake it.

I had these scissors before I had a house fire and lost everything. This is one of the things I wanted to reorder. You never really know what to buy for your house after a fire (besides the obvious)until you need it. As soon as I realized I had forgotten scissors I knew I wanted this same type. I don't just use them for sewing but I cut everything from material to opening plastic packaging and they never get dull. Nice to find quality.
