Thanks for the tip, I'm humbled to admit I've never cleaned mine tho it doesn't look dirty. I'll clean it now! Did the distributor happen to mention storage tips? Mine is too big to store flat. It has a small hole punched at the top which I use to hang it from a nail on the back of my sewing room door. Hanging straight down it still gets a little (irritatingly) bowed. Any thoughts?
