veg-girl Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Do not store your spare starch near your 505 spray glue. I ran out near the end whilst ironing my binding in half. My binding, ironing board and iron were not improved with the addition of spray glue. Ickky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathG Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Oh dear not a good mix. Hope it did not spoil your binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethDurand Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I've changed to the Mary Ellen's Best Press spray starch alternative for starch now. Nicer scent, doesn't attract bugs, comes in different scents and the you can re-fill the bottles. Not to mention that the bottles are so distinctly different that the chances of getting them mixed up in a quick grab are small. Sorry to hear about your issue.

quiltmonkey Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 .............And this is EXACTLY why Shana does NOT keep her Sharpie Markers or dry erase markers mixed in the same drawer with her blue water soluable and purple air erase pens...... And why Shana does not keep her "Sewer's Aid" and "Fray Check" bottles together in the same drawer... cuz sho nuff... Shana would be doing something stupid that Shana would later regret ...

sewnsews Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have an old ultimate 1. Tonight my check spring broke for the first time. I had a spare in my tool box and I'm trying to replace it, but the tension is way too tight when I get the new one in place. Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? HELP!!!
