Many of us send blocks in the mail and I'm am so irritated at how many have come back to me lately.
I hope this helps you! Let me know if there is a way to improve the instructions and I'll edit it with your input!
Thanks, Jami

The USPS is killing swaps for sure! At least the 1 on 1 swaps...more swaps need to be centralized..it would be MUCH cheaper!

Yeah, the swaps are really hard on the pocket book. Especially the big ones.
I found that out the hard way too. I had them coming back to me and then found out that most needed hand stamped, so that is .64 cents.
If it doesn't fit in the slot or has bumps, then it goes as a small package at a $1.17. Unfortunately, doing a lot of stitching blocks makes for bumps.
