Another slow learner item, I tried Alphabitties from Fat Quarter Shop and thought why did I wait so long! I always thought, uh why?, when I saw them but was given a set and they are really useful, the type of thing that when you need it you need it. LOL

sounds like a recipe for burnt fingers to me, and create a real use for the Tylenol.

I tried the Tylenol, (held it with a the silicon ironing fingers that I finally found a use for) and it worked great.

I can't take Motrin as it interferes with my other medication so have lots of Tylenol in the house.

It is hard to convince people to try new things. Glad your new tip works for you.

Now, look up using Elmers Washable School Glue for binding.

having a laugh right now--I have dryer sheets (which I rarely use for the dryer) on my grocery list cause I have fusible on my iron!

Ditto the clips--love them! so handy and with all the mask making I've done, perfect for pleats!

Laughing along, didn't know that tip either.

I have a friend and any iron she gets within the first 30 days she sticks something to it. Is absolutely amazing. Will have to pass this info on.

What makes me mad is when I hear of a great tip and then promptly forget about it, only to remember after I've struggled with something. I need a good bonk on the head a lot!! haha
