Glad you have the thread burner back in stock I am enjoying learning to bead and love monthly kits. Thanks for being there to help me on utube I've made mistakes but I work myself backwards until I get to the booboo. Today it looked like a spider but I didn't stop going back through. Oh my, it is a challenge I look forward to tackling, and a new hobby as well. Thanks Allie!!
