I just won! Got up early this morning ready to finish two graduation quilts. Needed to finish the applique on border and quilt one and add the binding and label to the other.

Well, went to work on the border. Needed to starch and press a portion I had just free motion embroidered, and guess what! I picked up the spray baste! Gave it a good heavy spray before I noticed which can I had in my hand! Have you ever tried to wash that stuff out! Not easy! I think I got it all. Sure don't want to redo the whole border. Takes over an hour to do. You can bet I will remember to put the spray baste back where it belongs from now on. Not on the ironing board!

I guess this is just one of those days, my cable modem went out and just finally replaced it. Patrice I told you computers could make you act like a fool!!! My third day with Comcast!!
:shock: Finally, this one girl noticed my modem wasn't acting properly and notified me of this. OMG!!! Could have had this problem taken care of 3 days ago.

Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this, Mama said :wink:

I've learned the hard (expensive) way to LOOK AT THE LABEL of the container that's in my hand before doing anything else with it!!!!

Fray-check is not a good substitute for sewing machine oil.
