[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Way Around Way Tags

Mon Nov 18 14:14:31 UTC 2019

Hi, Karyn, 
I've really been thinking of getting some of these tags, particularly the button ones and the clips. What do you mean that one of them looks like a popped up lid? Which one is that? I'm a little confused.

Also, my knitting has gone absolutely nowhere. I really need to find someone who can show me this in person lol. I'm hopeless with all the written instructions for blind knitters I've tried. I just can't seem to get the hang of things like the slip-knot, let alone casting on.

My husband recently purchased a Brother XM2701 sewing machine, and I think I'd like to try my hand at that. Anyhow, I'm sorry this explanation has takinforever; I wanted to know how those of you who have Wayaround tags mark your fabric for sewing. Meaning, do you use one of the safety-pin buttons put on the fabric with all the instructions from the fabric label? Do you do that in-store when you're buying the fabric? Presumably, you don't have an entire bolt of fabric, so you wouldn't have the label that comes with it.

Thanks,
Ari

>> I absolutely love my WayAround tags! I use the clip on ones for my yarn, as I have numerous colors for each project. They are so worth it! Also, they can be reused. This is a great sale that can make it so you can at least try it before you decide if you want to buy a whole bunch. :-)
