Gosh Fayser, I was waiting to hear how you did it !!!
My guess, and this is STRICTLY a guess, would be to leave it extended by maybe 2 or 3" and wrap duck tape around it and secure the tape then to the plastic housing ..............whoa...wait a minute....there's a lock on it I believe....like when you pull it out you lock it in position so you can work with it. Why couldn't you pull out just maybe 3" more than you need, cut off what you need and lock it in position so you could just continue to pull it out the next time by pulling on the 3" you left extended? Ask your husband if I'm in the ballpark in my thinking. You could duck tape the lock maybe so it wouldn't accidentally move.
What do the rest of you think?????

I received a great package from Starshine today! I got a yard of white on white fabric, some pattern sheets, some coffee packets, a hand-knit dishcloth in my favourite colour, and 2 great books - one on crazy quilt stitches, and one on making 3-D flowers. I can't wait to read both book[ATTACH=CONFIG]431855[/ATTACH]s. Thanks, Starshine, I love everything!

Bilben glad I found some things that you could use. I'll be watching to see what shows up on the Doll Quilt swaps in the next several months. 
If you like, the cloths can be used as facial washcloths instead of dish cloths but I wouldn't suggest interchanging usage. Looks like delivery was 2 weeks so that was pretty good, of course there wasn't a need to have customs translate the address either. Hopefully more are getting their packages today.

Well "tomorrows" have come and gone and still no package. The mailman must think Ive got dementia or something and thinking I dont know what I'm talking about. Maybe I will make my own secret pal package and mail it to myself. Lol...maybe thats not a good idea after all. I'm sure he thinks I'm nuts but if I mail my own package to myself..that would just confirm his suspicions. Lol
