8045I have never done it, but have heard from others that it helps, American says put n freezer 30 mins. I remember back during the war the women were putting nylon stockings n the freezer like that because they said it kept them from having runs. Must b something n freezing strengthens the threads *

I am taking all the food out and putting my whole chest in the freezer lol I will have to try it out, sounds like an interesting technique.

I can probably experiment with many thing, but not really with my machine. Better get a green light from someone that knows.

27608I don't know. I've heard put it in the freeze for 30 minutes, no longer and it should work. I haven't had this problem yet. It is worth trying.
Good luck.
