Lately for me, it has been about 3 weeks from the time I got my check until I got my next shipment of supplies. If you didn't get a letter with your check, then they will probably send you supplies for 50. But you really won't know for sure until they arrive. They have been known to send more or less.

Hi Lisa--Ruschele is rightI couldn't have said it any better I did call NEC today to see when my next shipment was coming and the said they were waiting on sparkle spray and then my kitty magnets would be on their way--so that's what I will be doing next week--surprise --surprise-- Happy crafting from McSue

Thanks for the info guys, cant wait to start doing more gingerbread boys, it was fun. Not having much luck with my other projects. I just sent in for a change I did 5 trys on the drum, I cant seem to get it right so I asked to change to the poodle skirt. Anyone doing that one? Is it easy, hard? I'm in the process of making my 5th reindeer if it doesnt pass what is an easy project to switch to? I'm also sending in my 4th try for the sitting poodle, I like that one I will try to get approved on that one... I also started with chacha a few weeks ago, I have been averaging 90-110 a week in my spare time, I could use a few people on my team so if your interested when you join put my email address in the referred by lisa8619717@yahoo.comany questions just e-mail me or pm me. Thanks Edited by: lisa861971

I just sent off my toe ring set and tiny poodle skirt today. I hope I pass. I loved doing both of them but you were right Kathy. The poodle skirt was really great to make.

Glad you enjoyed the poodle skirt nishka. Good luck on both of them!

Sorry lisa that the drum didn't work for you. Have fun with the gingerboys! And good luck on your other ones.

Hi everyone. Im new to the forum and also new to NEC. I have started on the scottie magnet and have a question. Was anyone else dissatisfied with the material the received to make the samples? Everything I received was fine except for the felt.

The felt used on the sample sent to me looked a LOT thicker in comparison to the shoddy bit of felt i got. The peice I have is so thin that it starts to pull apart if you even look at it wrong! [img]smileys/smiley24.gif[/img]

Thankfully the piece they sent had the label on the back so I was thinking of going and picking up a better piece of champagne felt.

Plus, anyone have any advice on ways to outline on the felt without pulling or ink bleeding? And has anyone tried using an exacto knife on the foam?
