Scrimps URL Corrections

Wednesday March 15, 2006
I'm reblogging this post because some of the URLs weren't going to the right place. Hopefully, you can all get your scrimps now! According to my source at Beadalon, Scrimps are getting shipped out to their distributors starting early next week. Here are some the vendors who will carry them, so start bugging them now!

(1) Felice says:

I am having a terrible time using the Scrimps.
- cannot keep hold of them – even with a pliers
- cannot see screw — even with a magnifier
- cannnot un-screw with the screwdriver
- keep dropping them and lose in carpet…

any assistance will be greatly appreciated

Dear Felice,
I use “Mag Eyes” for magnify so I can see. Cannot work with Scrimps without them. It does take a strong hand at times to loosen the screw. Can only use 3 or 4 before I have to give my fingers and thumb a rest until next day. However, I love the scrimps. They are much more secure and just plain are better than ordinary crimps. Be sure to hold scrimps over a design board so if a screw falls you can find it!
