I folded min and put them in the small envelope. as long as it is under 1/4" thick it goes first class for 1 stamp. That is what the lady at the counter told me when I took mine in to be checked, however because the completed block will weigh more than 1 ounce it requires the 64 cent stamp.
and to Canada it cost 75cents for the F8 and the finished block.

You guys are scaring me. I have been mailing my completed blocks in legal envelopes with one reg stamp. None have come back and I know a least one has made it to where it was suppose to go but now I am afraid to keep doing that. If anyone gets a block from me with postage due, please let me know and I will send you a stamp or something.
I sent a completed block out today in the legal size envelope. My postmistress said it was just fine! and with regular stamp...:) Hope it makes it home okay!
I think it depends on the person at the post office. I didn't have any stamps so took them in to see what they would cost. Should have just bought stamps and put them on. Bet they wouldn't have come back.
