Moving the dots from one side of the tape to the other was an astronomical mistake! I absolutely despise using the dots now and I have been using them at least 16 years. Because of the change I am now exploring other brands of adhesive sticky dots. I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, as such I use and demonstrate and sell quite a lot of the Stampin' Up! branded Glue Dots; however, since the change I have been steering my customers other directions. I cannot tell you how many Glue Dots have been wasted because the dots being on the side of the tape they are now are awkward to use. When I have exhausted my stash of Stampin' Up! branded dots, I will not be purchasing any more, I will now be purchasing another brand.
