      Um, excuse me Mrs. Parks but most of the tutorials are in English. Some people have accents and they are still out here helping people so I don't mind at all. Maybe mess with your filters if it bothers you. I don't want to sound rude so i was just giving you some other options.

    Love to see Sandy create bows with the Bowdabra but I really enjoy Nick when he is filling in for Sandy. He is extremely detailed and also teaches us how to use the Bowdabra with traditional and trendy bows. Bowdabra is my favorite bow maker and so I really enjoy seeing creators using it for different recipes of bow making. 🎀🎀💞💖💝💋

      we like the bowdabra bow wire because it is a combination of a nylon filament and a very thin wire which makes it very strong so it won't break, but also easy to cut with scissors

      yes you can. Our Bowdabra instructions has a chart that lets you know how much ribbon to use for different lengths of ribbon and also for different types of ribbon and wired vs non wired. Please check out bowdabra.com FAQ
