Coupler, what's that    I don't have one of those.

That's what you use to hold the smaller tips onto the piping bag. Not needed for the 1M. It's usually white and has a thread that goes in the bag and a round but that screws the tip onto the coupler (I think that's what they call it). Couplers let you change tips without much mess and still use the same icing in the piping bag

Aah yes the elusive 1M nozzle - will have to keep an eye out for that one - thanks ladies!!!

Thanks girls next time I'm in Frankson I will go to the cake decorating shop, can you get them anywhere else , hate going to Frankson.

Thanks Kimmy, appreciate the explanation.  I knew I didn't use anything like that with my 1M tip 

[Katiej]

I have a couple of those couplers, but I don't think I've used them.

Try online or eBay AB.

You can also buy disposable icing bags at the supermarket, or make your own from a grease proof paper triangle.

The 1M tip is included in the Wilton cupcake decorating kit - I think you can buy them in Target stores now. Otherwise I've seen them on eBay on their own.

I buy bulk packs of 100 bags cheaply on eBay....I really can't be bothered washing the material ones anymore

Ok, I just found this video about how to fill an icing bag that makes filling and cleaning SO EASY!  Truly mind blowing, if you are at all interested in using piped icing you have to watch it!

I feel like whipping a batch of this frosting just to try it.

I have reached my limit for the month - 4 days to go  so I'll check it out when my new month starts snappy. It's a pain waiting for downloads but reading the forum is fine thank goodness.
