Pressing and Cutting Paradigm Shift needed

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!!!! I will look at SuperGlue in a
whole new way now!

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! ;-)

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".

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

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!

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.

| Currently, I:
| - Gather the fabric to be cut

bed
| (for large pieces)
| - Take the pieces to the dining room for cutting
|

| minutes {well, just pretend!} I can spend 15 minutes pressing, and 15
| cutting) this does not get much done.
|
| I cannot think of a way to store the fabric after it is pressed to keep it
| wrinkle free enough to cut it another day.
|
| I'm looking for ideas here. How do you do this? Press and cut as you go?
| Devote an entire day for it? (in my dreams!) Have a QI-free sanctuary for
| pressed fabric?
