Do you sew wet fabric? Have a small iron by machine?
I keep a spritz bottle in the ironing station starch stash. Best Press, Niagra spray (white bottle) plus Niagra Heavy (spray can all waiting on a small tray. Yes, I do spritz a wayward seam lightly with water and then iron. This is done on the ironing station and not near my machine.
No water by machine. I seldom take drinks into the room even though I have drink cups with lids.
