Oh no! How did you get it out?

I noticed it within minutes - and hustled the machine off to Round Robbin (they were still open at 8:30 PM that night - I moved as fast as a top-notch EMS team with that machine. They probably had to completely take it apart and put it together again. I did a VERY thorough job of "oiling" it. It was a "bit" embarrassing to explain what I had done to the machine, though.

There is a very long thread on here somewhere that will probably give you competition for the First Prize - - - -

Just this week I was getting ready for work and obviously thinking about other things because instead of spraying perfume on my neck and upper chest, I gave myself a nice dose of hair spray. My blouse kept sticking to me all day.

At least you don't have the problem "Fred" had. Seems he mixed up his Rogaine with his Viagra. Now he has a toupee that won't lay flat.

Gave it a good heavy spray before I noticed which can I had in my hand! Have you ever tried to wash that stuff out! Not easy! I think I got it all. Sure don't want to redo the whole border. Takes over an hour to do. You can bet I will remember to put the spray baste back where it belongs from now on. Not on the ironing board!

OMG!! I did the excact same thing today, but it took me a few minutes to realize it!!! At lest I can say I'm in good company!
