Customer Reviews
Emma Rodriguez
As a full-time teacher and part-time crafter, I needed something that wouldn’t eat up my evenings but still let me make heartfelt gifts. I bought the Addi Express King Size and have made over a dozen scarves and several blankets for family and friends. The hand-crank action is smooth, and it’s surprisingly therapeutic after a long day. I’ve even experimented with flat panels to make patchwork pillow covers. The learning curve was gentle, and I truly feel this machine bridges the gap between hobby and artistry.
Jonathan Lee
I’ve been knitting for years, but arthritis in my hands made traditional needles painful. The Addi Express Professional changed everything. I can still make the socks and beanies I love gifting during the holidays, but now it’s faster and far more comfortable. I was skeptical at first, thinking the machine might feel impersonal, but it’s quite the opposite—I feel more connected to the process because I can focus on color and design rather than struggling with each stitch. It’s given me back my passion.
Nina Petrovic
I run a small Etsy shop selling handmade accessories, and I can confidently say the Addi machines boosted my productivity without sacrificing quality. The King Size is perfect for larger wraps and the Professional lets me whip up cute headbands and wrist warmers in no time. I’ve even started customizing pillow covers for seasonal collections. It’s like having a reliable assistant that never tires. Every serious crafter should consider adding this to their toolkit.
