A friend of mine sent the following message to me. I liked the idea so much, I want to share a tip she discovered with all of you! <A while ago I posted a message about how to get rid of those awful folds in my fabric. Whatever I did, it never would go away completely. One of you great ladies replied that what you had to do was wet the fabric and then put it in the freezer. Well, I don't have a large enough (nor good enough) freezer at home, but last Sunday when I was all by myself in my parents'house I decided to give this a try. And guess what??? IT REALLY WORKED! All those awful folds were gone. I just couldn't believe it. So to all of you who have problems getting the folds out of your linen, here is what you should do. Wet the folds thoroughly. Wrap some plastic foil around a long round object (I used a papertowel roller.) Then wrap the linen around it and put it in the freezer for several hours. Make sure you don't put it anywhere where it can get stains from other things in the freezer. Take it out, let it defrost and then iron the fabric. Smooth as a baby's skin. I don't know who posted this in reply to my message, but thank you ever so much for sharing this!> Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by Beakers Graphic Designs http://www.probe.net/~beakers/ecsp.htm The Xstitch Home page at http://www.probe.net/~beakers/xshome.htm Mary Joseph - XStitch List Moderator - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monica Sudds - XStitch List Administrator - [EMAIL PROTECTED] =============================================================== To unsubscribe TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message: unsubscribe XStitch
