All you TOTT users out there...

[zoeymama]

I really want to order the TOTT instructions, but I do not want the bow maker. Does anyone know if these can be purchased without the bow maker? Also, do the instructions show you had to make the bows without the bow maker. I really want to learn how to make my bows by just my hands.

Sorry, is that wrong? I could remove one, if needed. I know that some people only read certain sections and wanted to cover both areas.

I asked them once before, and they said no, you had to purchase the bow maker with it.

Oh, too bad! Thanks

is it worth it to buy this kit? What is the bowmaker like? i'm a bit new to all of this, but havent had any trouble making the bows yet. Does anyone have one they can take a picture of so i know what i'm buying?

I bought the TOTTS instructions after I bought the SBB instructions and after reading many free instructions. I really like the TOTTS but I don't use the bow maker. I already learned how to make bows by hand and I prefer that method. But the TOTTS is nice for ideas. It's very organized and the videos are great! It's much better than the SBB IMO, which was not worth the money IMO. You will enjoy the TOTTS and maybe you could sell the bow maker if you don't use it.

Good luck.

Welcome to the group. The bow maker is listed on TRR's website under instructions.
