On the subject of glue, this may work. I had my little boy pup neutered
yesterday and when I picked him up the doctor reviewed the home care for him. He showed me the incision to let me see what it should look like in case it became infected or inflamed, and then he said there are no stitches - they glued the incision shut!!!!

Just a thought, but if you press a piece and then cut off what you need at that moment, but you don't want to fold it again, do you have a large wall that you can somehow attach it to so that it won't get those nasty fold marks? Is there a spare bed that you can leave it lay out or do one fold over (much faster to iron than 20 of the dang things)? Heck, I'd even try to fold it around a pillow to help reduce those creases.... Can you tell that I have a crease problem too? I haven't tried any of these yet....so let me know if anything works! ;-) -- Dannielle from NY http://www.beitzell.com/dannielle/index.htm Spray the ceiling with glue and chuck it up there! -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Superglue was invented in the vietnam war for use on field patients! As BF
was telling me a few weeks ago: "They just scrunched it up, shoved it back in and stuck it together". Charlie. "AliceW" wrote in message ... On the subject of glue, this may work.

Hullo Wendy
And if this clothes horse *is* one of the old wooden ones, in case it has any splinters, you can wrap each rail with torn strips of fabric (eg old sheets). My Mum did that on hers when it started snagging stockings!!! It looked like it had been completely bandaged - but it really worked g .. In article , frood writes A flittering flit of a friend just emailed me about such a solution, and by George, I think that's the ticket! I have a clothes horse, up in the attic. Our last house had so little towel hanging space that we really needed it. This house has 3 full bathrooms each with lots of towel rods. I know - I installed them! G And I have a little space next to my sewing cupboard where it can live when not needed. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

Amazingly enough, SuperGlue has been in use for medical applications
since the Vietnam war. (DH was a scrub tech in the USAF) They used it for quick field fixes, so they could safely get them to more sterile medical facilities.

omg, girl.
i started reading u'r post, got half way thru and had no idea how i do it or how to help, then thot 'just do it'. then thot silly question. you got too much time on your hands. then i opened the thread and saw gazillions of replys. there goes my day reading just this thread in case i'm missing something or doing it wrong. arghhhhhh, dont want those quilt police knocking at my door. jeanne* -- RCTQ Houston 2004 Party Animals A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!" i'll be there!!! will you???
