The shipping is reasonable from Quilty Box - $5.00

Yes, all the time, have been doing this for many years.

Same here. :-)

95% of my online quilting buys have free shipping so I don't mind paying shipping on the other 5%. Where I draw the line is when the shipping is more then the item bought.

That is a very neat idea. What we all need - another gadget!! :D:D:D:D

I sure do. and for all those little things that color doesn't matter. I waste nothing.

I use a plastic bread bag closer with a hole cut in it to keep bobbins on top of the machine in place. Hole punch works great to make the hole and it's a really cheap way to keep almost any spool or bobbin in place.
