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!!!!!
I always wrap my dead ones in duct tape so they are totally enclosed before disposing of them. New ones are not taken out of the package until needed in a drawer.
