I have never seen them around here. I will look again though. I also looked at the bottle liners and decided they cost too much. Where do you live?

I am pleased to see you are covering your threads to keep the dust off them. It worried me when I saw all your beautiful threads left uncovered on the shelves. LOL Hugs Shirley
