Maybe I could shape the mush by hand or by pushing it around on the non-stick foil. Hmmmm. Ideas anyone???
merciful heavens at the cost of a vitamix, I would NOT be chancing it by putting fabrics in it...try a crosscut paper shredder first!
I also read the original post and wondered, what keeps the denim from falling apart in moisture? I would think you need elmer's glue in that mixture, or seal them with epoxy of some kind. If not, any moisture hits them and they are going to fall apart!
I can see where denim works great in the blender, different weave in the fabric make up..for cottons, maybe it does not work..too thready/stringy...
