Board cutters by
anne
What would y'all recommend for cutting utensils to get backing boards to right
size?
Foam board is too thick for the scissors I've got on hand; ditto for the
adhesive boards. My el cheapo exacto knive can score a straight line but it
doesn't go all the way through.
HELP!!

retired floss by
Mitch
I jusr downloaded the shopping list for floss from the dmc website and as I
was checking my stash I found that I had several numbers of floss that were
not listed. is this a result of too many hours spent late at night winding
bobbins or did DMC actually stop producing certain numbers of floss?
