So hopefully I am not posting this in the wrong place, since this thread started about hem gauges. A couple years ago, I made a thrift store purchase of several sewing items in a bag. One of the things I found in that bag was a paper bag with many of those seam gauges in it. I am happy to share those with anyone who doesn't have one.
I will count up how many I have, then I will make a post in the Free Offers section of this board. I will have to figure out about mailing them out. Any suggestions? I'm concerned they would poke thru a regular envelope and cost more than they are worth for a padded one. These are the old all metal ones.

I have several of the old metal ones...point being......old is better than new....I think I'll name mine Sam........

speaking of cheap new versions. When my girls were kids we played Kurplunk...loved it..so decided to go buy one for gd....well cost $15, ok, like every thing else, prices have gone up.. Came home and unpacked...?The tower was so lite weight and the sticks were thinner than toothpicks, plastic and bent ever so slightly....enough so that they slid out of the holes by themselves......in my total frustration and anger I went on line and wrote the company a scathing email. Paid off....recd an apology and in the mail recd a gift certificate for $15. I'm sure the product will NOT improve, but I will hesitate when I buy games/toys in the future......
