Is there an easy way that I don't know about to change from smaller couplers to larger with the same icing bag? Hope that makes sense. I know changing tips with the same bag is easy but if I need to go to a larger circumference tip I don't know how to do that easily to get the larger coupler that fits it. Thanks!

It's best to start out w/the lg coupler.....then you just have to add the smaller one. 

You mention going to a larger circumference tip.....do you mean like going from a 3 to a 12 or say a 104?   Or do you mean going from a 'standard' tip to a giant......like a 129 or something?

I use the three bag system :)  One bag with the large coupler, one bag with the small coupler, and the third holds the buttercream.  When I am done with one, I pull the BC bag out and place it in the other. Easy switch.
