    Being in Scotland you probably have the same problem I do in Australia: the international postage rates offered are really over the top. I looked at the TQM Binding Ruler featured on some of the videos and it cost $8.95. Shipping to Australia a whopping $39.00!! Same product on eBay from the US has shipping rates between $6 and $8.

    I'm disappointed so many loyal fans are locked out because of this.

    You are not alone! I log in every night just to see the daily deal. I only buy layer cakes and jelly rolls. I don't think it's worth it to buy a charm pack since you're gonna give up the savings by paying for the shipping.

    I struggle with that every day. I rarely look at the DD these days. I like to read the fun short story underneath but I refrain more often than not because I just can't trust myself.

    Being that I live in Canada, the shipping is outrageous so that is a deterrent for me. I very rarely even look at the DD unless someone mentions it on here.

    There is no NEED for a huge stash...i've made it so that i'll never live long enough...and I can't part yet.... I've acquired a mountain from not being able to resist such a "good deal"...THEN,, when that mountain gets so high and NOTHING is being made from those "good deals"... one realizes it is A PROBLEM!!!!!... I have discovered that I love "shopping from home",, saves gas.. don't have to get "dolled up"... cooler ,,tons of reasons... but then there is this whole "forum" thing,, where I spend too much time typing and reading and re checking for new posts, and answers to my posts,, and pictures to share and look at and then see response... STOP... get the picture! I have never been a person that understands "moderation" with ANYTHING... soooooooooooooooo.... I have been working on emptying my scrap drawers... after folding, sorting and semi organizing... i'm down to the last drawer...if it doesn't go into the "scrap dryer sheet quilt"... it gets pieced into fabric and made into a zipper pouch or tote... if not,, it gets thrown out...when that last drawer is empty,, then it's on to the 3 drawer collection of charms, jellyrolls, and layers... acquired over the last 4 yrs. of M*... then on to the shelves of boarded fabric and tote drawers of pieces collected... NO MORE saving... only making.. i'm doing ok...only buying something if it is a duplicate of something I've already got,,,giving me more yardage to work with...I should start my own "Intervention Show for Quilters"!!!
