Just my luck...don't think they'll ever go away. I need to try some herbal remedies. I know my iron is my worst enemy in my sewing room. It's like leaving my oven on high and opening the door. I think I need to shut it off and only turn it on when necessary. I'll try all you tips. I want to sew so badly.
I found grnuine Ott light replacement bulbs at my local Lowes hardware store where the light bulbs are sold. They fit in any kind of lamp and are soooo much cooler! I put one into an adjustable metal lamp and can touch it even when it's been on for hours. The bulbs alone are not too expensive, I think I paid $5.98 for it.
