One person this month said to use a floss container for a thread cutter on the airline. It has that little cutter in.
If I am in the kitchen sewing (at times) I use the little ironing board over the double sink, fits good, and the iron plugs in to the right. Also, for those making a portable ironing surface, use a wooden snack tray and staple layers of
flannel on it. Use spray starch when clipping curves on the applique pieces to hold the seam allowance under, using a paint brush to brush the spray starch on, of which you sprayed in a little cup. Good luck, everyone!
