I love the butterfly pins. They’re great when I’m sewing with several other sewers on projects. Finding my pins at the end is easy and everyone comments how cute they are!
ZJ, I wish you could share with us the name of that website you alluded to! I’m sure a number of us would love to know.
Hi Olivia. I hope you found the video to be both informative and helpful. I use Brewer as one of my supplies for my professional quilting business and have an account with them. To be honest, I am not sure what their policy is for selling to individuals. It may be worth looking into.
Thanks
