I'd read a while back about a fire caused by used batteries. I keep my new batteries in their packaging on a shelf in the fridge. The used discarded batteries I tape together and tape over the ends just in case there is anything metal in the trash bin. Hopefully this will keep me from losing my home unexpectantly.
This site has given out so many good tips in the past and I'm sure we'll continue to get them.........not all of them quilt specific but just as important...............THANK YOU!!!!!
