Is there anyway you can put links in to all these new products?? I’d love to see them!
Thank you!
Links are not included in the new product posts because, quite often the companies do not have the products on their sites or they have them on their “What’s New?” page, which is not a permanent link.
Because these articles continue to be read, I don’t include links.
Keep Stitching,
