Can anyone pass on information where to buy nice trims to embellish projects. I have been working on some Christmas items and buying grosgrain ribbon etc. by the 3 or 5 meter (I am Canadian) spools costs a small fortune

Some of the discount stores carry these items this time of year as well as drug stores, also craft stores are starting to put them on sale too :wink:

are you looking for an online source or real life source?

I can do either. I have been using some online suppliers lately and have had good luck, but I know that you can sometimes not get what you bargained for. WalMart, etc in this area have very limited fabric departments so therefore the selection leaves alot to be desired

Thanks for the links. They both seem very promising after a quick look

These are both excellent sources:

Not the cheapest, but their trims are works of art, really nice!
