    Sandy, I remember using hairspray for that too, and clear fingernail polish for the runs in our nylons.

    ROFL! The dreaded curse of the sales personnel!
    Sounds like you translated feet to yards when purchasing the fabric.

    Static Guard. I also remember using hairspray on my slip (went to private school and had to wear skirt or dress every day) and did the clear nail polish thing on runs in my hose. I should've bought stock
    in Sally Hansen and Adorn!

    Good to know that Static Guard works on cutting dies, I had a huge amount of static when using my Sizzix today.
