Just passing this Alert along:

Please Be Careful!
We’ve recently learned about a counterfeit website mimicking Schacht’s site. While it may appear to offer great deals, it is not legitimate, and you will not receive products purchased through these sites. If you purchase from one of these counterfeit sites, unfortunately, we are not able to assist with recovering funds or providing the product.

Please be cautious and make sure you are purchasing directly from us or an authorized dealer when placing an order. If you’re looking for product information, be sure you are on our official website: www.schachtspindle.com. Always double-check the web address—fraudulent sites can display any pricing or product information they choose and are intended to mislead customers.

Tools for the crafts we love.

As a reminder, our April meeting will not be the "norm" and it is for Guild Members only: there will be no Show and Share and there will be no refreshments. WE WILL have a short business meeting at 10:00.

Thank you
