The blue knotting tool looks so fiddly to use! The simple hand tool or just tweezers' looks so much easier to use!

[@missgreenbottles]

Great tutorial i watched a different one first and couldn’t work it out, but yours has made it really simple to follow. Now I’m making lots of bead knots ❤

[@beadaholique]

I'm so glad it helped!

[@anitataco6488]

This tutorial is really good and thorough, my thoughts on this unit are purely based on the tool itself. I was comparing this to the Beadalon Knotter Tool. They do the same thing but it looks like the Beadalon one would be simpler to use and easier to get a good flow going since it's a handheld tool. The Beadalon one is basically an awl with a yoke in front (a V shaped sewing tool) wrap around the awl, pull tight, then pop it into the yoke and push this little button where your thumb naturally rests and it slides it into place. I just don't see why this unit needs to be so big. I have limited crafting real estate in my house, every inch of space that I can save is appreciated.

[@helen9875]

Wonderful demonstration and explanation.

[@AllisonMoon-SheWandersFeral]

Sooo many people snarking about how the tool US NOT FOR THEM, without pausing to consider MOBILITY ISSUES this assists

[@MarthaM4858]

This thing is not any faster, so I think I will stick to tweezers.

[@castoputa]

Um, just use an awl?? Can't see the point im of this. Looks like it makes it harder!

[@susan1098]

I agree. Going to continue using my awl.

[@sally450]

Thanks for a great tutorial. I can't wait to get started!

[@soucky1]

WOW! they don't stop to impress me whit all of the new tools to make everythings more easy so Cool love it!!

[@melbabowen4389]

VERY COOL!

[@THESHOMROM]

Excellent instruction.

[@virginiamendietacontreras6814]

Me gusta tengo otro herramienta de la misma marca para abundar fabuloso, los que trabajamos con nuestras manos tenemos que tener las herramientas necesarias

[@Jin04115]

For people saying this is a waste of money: some people are not skilled enough with their hands/fingers to do all of that tying to use a hand held one. Relax, we are all not the same. Just move on to another video.

[@ikoniqmusic]

If you can't make a basic, snug knot by hand then use an awl or needle and keep practicing to improve your skills.

[@SR77736]

@@ikoniqmusic not if your have and injury or are disabled. Not everyone is the same and thats OK.

[@SR77736]

Exactly. If it isn't for you then move on tons not bet video. People love to complain.

[@sandradavis847]

Great tool.

[@julesshultz9164]

Wouldn't thinner thread go through the holes in the beads

[@Shaigigi12]

Love it!!

[@Lisa_Zapata]

I want this

[@mindactivate]

I think this is available now at Michaels Stores. Yea!

[@tinksfawn08]

Wow, not trying to offend anyone, but this seems like a real rip-off product and I’m surprised a company like Beadaholique would endorse this.

[@paulinadelgado6961]

Usted explica muy bien gracias 👍

[@minervarevuelta7625]

Dónde comprarlo?

[@sami2518]

Is there a formula to determine the length of stringing material needed for a knotting project? For example, I would like to make a 7.5 inch bracelet. How much stringing material would I need to use. For wrap bracelets, I would use 3x as much. Thank you.

[@beadaholique]

sami2518 Hi, unfortunately there is not really a formula for determining lengths of stringing material for a knotting project. It depends on the type of material you are using and the size of the beads. I think 30 inches for a 7.5 inch bracelet would be pretty safe. I hope this helps.

[@sanvosanata]

such a pointless device, do people really buy that

[@nicnaknoc]

Right this seems like such a hassle compared to just using a needle

[@anniecantrell7972]

Help..how do you finish with no clasp on this machine,no one tells us how,is it the same as your pearl video?need help

[@beadaholique]

annie cantrell To complete without a clasp you will need to follow the instructions in the pearl video and not complete the task on the Tabletop Knotter Tool. I hope this helps.

Su mano izquierda, no deja ver bien

[@AyCheeWawa]

I'm new to beading and I find it harder to add new string while knotting with unsteady hands. Can this tool be used to add string to projects?

[@beadaholique]

marlenaa315 This tool is really meant for knotting, not so much adding string to projects, I'm sorry. Perhaps a clamp attached to the work table might be a good option?

[@destinyhart7532]

Girl you're making me dizzy and this is like a very unnecessary tool in my opinion but keep up the good work you guys are awesome

[@AllisonMoon-SheWandersFeral]

Probably helpful for anyone with mobility issues

[@viclangstud]

Great video! I have the same ring as you. Is yours by Tocara?

[@ikoniqmusic]

I can't believe there's a tool for that. Seems like a lot more work than just making a knot and sliding it snug with your nails or a needle. Hope people aren't actually throwing their money away on something so useless

[@beadaholique]

Most of our designers over the years have preferred to do this work by hand, but so we also like to demonstrate tools like this that provide alternate ways of doing fundamentals. Tools like this can often be very useful for folks with disabilities or other specialized requirements for their workflows.

[@SR77736]

Believe it. There is a tool for everything these days.

[@janalong2702]

No can do for me

[@MMiniloura]

Dá pra fazer esses nós usando uma agulha grossa, como a de crochê. Achei essa bugiganga totalmente inútil.

[@susan1098]

Is that all this tool does? If so, I wouldn’t bother with it. It appears to be to flimsy.

[@teccizIlnamikihua]

Seems like a waste of money... and time.

[@gloriamason7009]

Knitting

[@rebegotadeagua8555]

Que maquinita tan tonta.

[@sandyblue4235]

Waste of money imo

[@shomaberamji1]

A fancy little tool … can’t really see any more use …

[@beadaholique]

This one is definetly a speciality tool. We find we're faster with the traditional tweezers method, and the results are excellent that way, but we're only knotting pearls a few times a year. If we were doing it a few times a month we'd look at dedicated tools like this, they're often the fastest option once you've put in that practice time, and Here's our video on pearl knotting with tweezers if you haven't tried that method yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6llJeAqLqghZY
