Check out your local fishing supply store. Same little bottles are used in the making fly fishing lures. They also have some great storage containers for threads. Dar

Yeah, that's the first place I checked too. They didn't even know what I was talking about.

I know; I bought it the same way and it hurt to spend so much for something so little, but it was the only way I could find it, and it really works well. You'll enjoy it!

shipping charges are based on size of pkg - not just weight. besides - even if i could find tips at WM - it would take one gal of gas at $2.64 for travel so if you subtract that from the 4.99 you only $2.35 left and no sales tax. plus the convenience of shopping at my desk.

I've taught for years all over the place, taken many, many classes all over the place, and NEVER can I remember a teacher leaving the majority of students behind to continue working while SHE left the area. I'm just amazed at the behavior!!
Yes she left with a friend who showed up. She left us to cut and make huge mistakes and yes it cost me probably 40.00. Now I am picky who I take a class from, we are all human, but this was a little bit of nonsense.

This is even better. "Purchase in Store Only" but I plan to head to our local one.

measuring 1/4" and placing tape on my sewing machine as a guide. My blocks are matching up much better now.
