    Last boom I used the 5 x 7 golden envelopes. Then when I checked the postage cost on USPS I discovered that the golden envelopes with clasps cost more to mail--so I tore all the clasps off before mailing them It cost 84 cents to mail each. Then I switched to regular white legal envelopes, cuz everyone else was using them, and they worked great. In the US the cost of postage for one squishy wrapped in saran wrap in white envelope was first class postage of 45 cents plus a 20 cent stamp (65 cents did it)!!

    PS It cost more to mail my squishies to Canada, England and Australia--I took those to the Post Office counter (around $1.50-$2 each).

    Depends on which one you want to sign up for. Find the thread and read the instructions. It will tell you how to sign-up.

    I keep changing my mind on what fabric to use. I guess I will have to decide soon won't I? I also use white letter size envelopes with the block wrapped in saran wrap. Works just fine.

    Subscribe is the same as Bookmark- when you click on subscribe you enter how you want to be notified of updates, either by email or on the settings page- I have mine set for the setting page- then go to the settings page and all topics you have subscribed to with new replies will be listed- BUT a couple weeks ago a kink was discovered so you might have to go to the settings page, them on the left side click on subscriptions- ... does that make sense ?
