HOWEVER, I once time saw her jump up onto the kitchen counter (when she didn't realize I was near) WITHOUT the bell ringing!! Stinker!<br /><br />Kudos again to Dritz for good customer service!quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-21403612302807469762017-08-05T18:07:58.934-07:002017-08-05T18:07:58.934-07:00That's too bad they've stopped making the ...That's too bad they've stopped making the clips you like with rivets. I remember when I first saw those clips being used for quilting, I wondered if the same company was making those as the one making identical looking clips for hair. I just searched to see if they still have the rivets and the pictures all show they do, but you may want to write the Goody company and ask. Here are those I used to buy all the time for my hair. They hold really well, and one person in the reviewers said she uses them for curtains. <br />http://www.goody.com/Products/Hair_Accessories/Goody_Classics_Snap_Clips?colId=b33a067e-4a1b-4caa-ab82-1d971e4dabf6&c_id=1a7ea079-c44c-481e-8d02-db7cd0b32277<br /><br />I will say if you go to Amazon and enter the search terms "Goody Snap Clips" you will find them all listed there. I did see others that came in packages of 100 or more but they are an off brand it appears so who knows what they are like. I know Goody brand are good; the question remains, do they still use the rivets?<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Oh the break away collar made me laugh out loud. Our Ragdoll when she was smaller was always (and still is) under our feet and would run to be in front of us to beat us into the room of the house she felt we were headed to. You have no idea how many times she almost knocked my husband or myself over. We've tripped and caught ourselves though. She was always getting into things she wasn't able to get out of so I bought a break away collar for her with a bell. The bell at least would warn us if she was headed toward our feet. lol She hates collars and has since we got her at 12 weeks of age. The break away was no exception. She flipped around like a crazed cat and then dove behind things under my sewing table. Then I heard the bell making noise and it stopped as I saw her jumped from behind the table without that collar. I have to say we have emptied my entire sewing room not that long ago for me to reorganize it all and never have I found that collar yet. LOL I've given up on collars for her since she doesn't go outside anyway.

Temperatures in the mid 20s (C) which is plenty warm for us. I'm not surprised about the clips. Hopefully the fact that the weld comes apart might make them reconsider. Such greed though - make it cheaper so we can make more money.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104565945520530658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-75358127369927195862017-08-05T07:31:28.579-07:002017-08-05T07:31:28.579-07:00Last fall and winter I was baking a lot of bread.....Last fall and winter I was baking a lot of bread....1 loaf at a time and having funny ends and pieces left and started making croutons with the bits and pieces.

I've had to give up shrimp, we think I've developed an allergy to it after I spent an evening in the emergency room after we'd had it for dinner. <br /><br />Hope you got in your nothing but stitching day. What does Mike do when you have one of those days? If My Guy and I take the same day off and mine is intended for extensive sewing room time, it doesn't happen. My Guy wants to got out for lunch and then run errands, etc. I'm not sure how things are going to work once we retire, so I'm curious how you are managing that with Mike's retirement.

I would tighten id to where I could put a finger between it and him, and he could still get it off with out popping the break-away clasp! <br /><br />Dirtz seems to have great customer service. Hopefully you can give us a review ans photos of the larger clips compared to the original ones.

They do seem to have the type of rivet you are looking for.

The 2 different cans (almost same lot #, purchased at the same time) kept clogging up. I contacted the website, and got a response in about an hour or less. They shipped me 2 new cans. Most companies still want to please the customer, if they can.

Most quilters would gladly pay a couple extra dollars if they could count on the quality of the product, and so the companies need to demand that from their suppliers. Pretty sweet kitty collars, hope Sadie doesn't find a way to slip hers. They're pretty wily when it comes to escape routines as you well know!
