Full sets need not be ordered, please feel free to inquire.

Bobbins will be mailed out approximately the first week of each month. A $1.00 fee will be assessed for a non returnable box, the use of which has reduced postal costs. The shipping will range from $1.39 - $1.90 for one or two bobbins and goes up accordingly for more bobbins. If the total of any monthly bobbin order exceeds $50.00, the package will be sent via PRIORITY MAIL. With current postage fees, this makes more sense than insuring. Upon receipt of your bobbin(s), mail a check for the total amount made out to Lacy Susan. Alternatively, you may provide your credit or debit card information and eliminate any need to mail a check. If you fall behind on payment, future bobbins will not be mailed until payment is received. If you chose to pay in advance, arrangements can be made.

Cancellation policy: Cancellation of the club can be made at any time. However, the maker needs 60 days notice for this, so I would need to be contacted that far in advance as well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Susan Wenzel                                                                                                                                                                                         (703) 580-1114                                                                                                                                                       Email: LacySusan5@aol.com
