Yes there are a few rules:

Must have a filled out Profile. (By this I mean your likes and dislikes so your partner will have some idea to go by.)

Everyone is invited Yes Newbies also, unless you are a notorious no sender!!! This is an international swap as well, so some things may not be sent overseas, so please check first.

Please limit the “I don’t want sent to me items too (2) THAT MEANS YOU ARE ONLY TO LIST TWO THINGS FROM THE LIST!!!! This is supposed to be fun and a surprise!

PLEASE SEND YOUR ITEMS and SEND THEM ON TIME!!!! If you feel can’t fulfill your duties before the swap ends please drop out. Or if you change your mind, please drop out…The send by date means that is the date the items have to be postmarked by. If you have to send late, please e-mail your partners and tell them...

With the price increase in postage, please take your package to be weighed at the post office for proper postage. No one likes to have to pay for their swaps!

Remember to Rate your partners when the ratings open. A lot of people are new in this swap and are depending on this rating to be allowed in others.

Be a good swapper! Remember it is important to be nice!!!! It might come back to bite YOU!

For those who watch the list of swappers...I will be going through the list after the swap ends and banning people then. So that scammers who were banned can not start another profile and sign back up. If you flake on this swap your name will be listed in the Swap -bot flakers Group.

I can not angel unrec'd swaps But I will try to find Angels for you.

could you please clarify what you mean by "a sewing charm"? Does that mean a charm with a sewing theme? Thank you

biasbabe 07/19/2010 #

Yes that is what it is @patumma

Wow, this looks like a fun swap and I am tempted to join, but I'm afraid my sewing room has more than just "two items I can't use" that are listed as options....I'm already trying to clean out some stuff like zippers, snaps, lace, measuring guages (already have 3 or more I think), elastic...and I wouldn't have a use for felt or a chalk marker. I'm putting it on my watch list though...I have been known to change my mind....and a person could always re-gift in group tags!

patumma 07/19/2010 #

Thank you Biasbabe wanted to be sure! I have tons of sets of buttons but off the cards can you suggest a fair number to be considered a "card" Thanks much! Cautious newby!!!

mentalonmorphine 07/22/2010 #

Good question about the buttons.

I have a lot of sewing stuff already, but I just love sending and receiving mail.. and surprises! :)

3stairs 07/26/2010 #

I love buttons, charms, ribbon and fabric, but will accept anything! I'm a regifter, lol! :D

institches 08/ 4/2010 #

This sound fun. I'm not into sewing, but do cross stitch on occasion. I am gathering supplies to start ATC's and inchies, so items that could be used there will be greatly appreciated. But if I do get any actual sewing stuff, my mom sews so I can give it to her....hummm, I do know a couple of people that collect thimbles too.

ozduchess 08/ 7/2010 #

What a great swap! I won't say no to anything but I will say that if my partner is a clever comp person I would absolutely love some printed address stickers. Got none and the brain won't work.

PawPal 08/11/2010 #

This will be my first swap of this kind and I am excited and happy to participate. I am open for anything. However, I do love buttons, thread, lace, ribbon, fabric, floss & rick rack. Thanks for letting newbies in, I promise I will not flake or not send!

lorijo2003 08/12/2010 #

Exciting! I would love anything on the list. Being a newbie, though, I have no swap cards, so I could really use some:)

It says ''Card of Buttons'' what does the card stand for? like what does that mean

biasbabe 08/14/2010 #

card of buttons mean you can put the bujttons on a card so it makes the buttons easier for travling.

biasbabe 08/14/2010 #

For the button Card you can put about 8 on them.

PawPal 08/15/2010 #

I'm confused. I'm a long time quilter/sewer and I've always known a sewing charm as a 5" square of fabric. And a card of buttons is how you buy them in a store. I've never heard of putting the buttons on a card for traveling, would it be the same card they were bought on, or is there something special you buy for this purpose? I'm new to swap-bot but not to sewing and want to ensure I'm on the same page as everybody else.

biasbabe 08/15/2010 #

It is the same when you buy the buttons on the card in the store there are some that are 4 buttons on a card. Walmart carrys them and so does Joann fabrics, or you can do your own on a piece of card stock that is what I meant by doing your own button card. Hope that helps.

biasbabe 08/15/2010 #

Just a heads up you all. Anyone who flakes in this swap will be listed in the Swap bot flakers group. If you have any questions please let me know .I will answer any and all questions.

BambooBailey 08/16/2010 #

What are swap cards? I will also angel if needed. Beth

jeansjems 08/16/2010 #

Swap cards are something I see often on profile likes lists. I am sure they are little cards with swap bot id and info on them to add to packages.

jeansjems 08/18/2010 #

i do not need chalk or velcro...thanks

jannieb 09/ 9/2010 #
