I visited our "local" (40 miles away) Hobby Lobby last night to pick up some coils for my BIA and was shocked to see their normal spot filled with other merchandise and a BIA and some assorted accessories on the clearance rack. Unfortunately, there were no coils there, so it looks as though I will be resorting to online ordering. I don't know if this was only a local discontinuation or company wide but those who can access a Hobby Lobby might want to check them out for marked down merchandise.

Being the thrifty person I am, I found that Walmart online is the cheapest place to buy O-wires that I've found. They were even cheaper than my favorite store, Amazon. The downside is the shipping is pretty slow (5-7 days) and you pay postage, but I have a Walmart Neighborhood Grocery store close by and I can pick it up there for free. Or you can pick it up at any Walmart for free.

I've read several articles and reviews pointing to Bind It All being discontinued. I'm sure there are some surplus they will try to get rid of. I got a huge box of wires, chipboard, etc 2 years ago, for 75% off. From what I have read, Cinch On wires by We R Memory Keepers are the same as BIA O- wires. I need some more of the 3/4 " size. I thought I would use more 1/2", but I like the larger, more sturdy ones.

This is an interesting, if not dated, article...
