ACK! Well, stamping and scrapbooking seem to be the latest addictions here, too. I suppose shops feel they have to take advantage of whatever is popular at a given time (stodgy old sewists like us will always be around, right?).

I can tell you - it's immense! I sew, embroider, do calligraphy etc. etc. and most recently stamping. I'm about to start scrapbooking (want to leave memory albums for my two sons) and have ordered the stuff in the US at a considerable discount. Last year I ordered one particular rubber stamp which cost £8.45 in the US, £14.95 here!!!

I did buy my Fasturn Tubes on a visit back there several years ago - just been to check and I paid $29.98 from a small fabric store. I love them, they do make the job very simple.
