if you really want the pink out try soaking in Biz overnight. Works wonders for me.

Oh, ouch,,, Yep, I have done that too..

[quote=raptureready]I did something like that once. I heard a siren right outside my window when I was hand sewing. I jumped up to see what was happening. I was barefoot. I dropped my needle and stepped on it. I found HALF of it on the floor. Couldn't get the other half out of my foot. It took the ER doc 15 minutes to get it out, and I was on crutches for DAYS. Did I mention that I was 15 years old and MORTIFIED when everyone asked me what happened.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble about vinegar. It may work with some dyes, but it doesn't work with ALL dyes. Ask me how I know. LOL. Always test the fabric you THINK you've fixed with vinegar by washing it AGAIN.

Hi Lisa_wanna_b_quilter,

I must admit, your story had me laughing. It would be something I would do. Lately, as I have been sewing rows of squares together, I keep sticking my fingers on the pins holding the rows together. Now, I am a person w/diabetes and I have to stick my fingers at least 3 times a day to check my blood sugar. I do not need extra pin pricks from the pins in my quilts!!! LOL!

i did the same thing last night....i must not have moved away fast enough cause it blistered a bit...kind of like a bad sunburn....i was sure i was the only one ever to do that one!!

I think I should get it because I let myself run out of the correct needles right in the middle of completing my quilt top and back.

Glad your liking your "New Fabric" - How about pictures so we can all see!

The burned girls is really funny. Sometimes I sit to iron because I've been on my feet all day and don't want to stand up anymore. I keep visualizing Dropping the Iron in my lap and having to explain that...that would NOT be funny!

You mean you DON'T???

Black and pink.... think "Elvis". :)
