Debbie, you must be younger than me. My mind is more like a sieve. :lol: I love the fact that we can read through these posts whenever we want. Some message boards are set up so that after you read a post it no longer shows. This can be a disaster as you frantically try to remember where you saw something you want to refer.

Regarding using used dryer sheets in quilts. I read somewhere that the residue still in those sheets, will aid in the deterioration of the fabric. If that is the case, I surely wouldn't use them in a good quilt or one that I put an enormous amount of time. Secondly, I don't think they are all that stable. When taken from the dryer they seem stretchy to me and easy to tear. Just something to think about. I love the idea of recycling and am always listening to tips like this. The needle and thread thru a sheet would work well when I do binding at the shop. I think I will put one in my portable sewing kit. Thanks. :lol:
