Thank you for the tip...I have also learned that you can use hair conditioner to shave your legs.

Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you Will give it a try

Thank you so much for the tip.Will give it a try

thanks for the tip

thanks for the tip

For those who traval a lot, save the hair conditioners from your hotel for this.

that's great. I only recently cleaned out bathroom cupboard and as you know you usually end up with lots of left over conditioner than shampoo. I kept it as I wash any quilts/wall hangings with conditioner. So will now keep this in mind also...
Thanks to Beth to...

Thank you. I did some FSL for a quilt and I don't remember how many times I rinsed them. Thank you very much for the hint.

Thanx for the tip!!!

Yes, Teri that is a great tip that was shared by ldonnahawkins (Beth) - I believe. I used it on this doily that I shared in projects recently and it was wonderful: http://projects.cuteembroidery.co... - I also had to go around an find all my other doilies and give them a new bath in hair conditioner, too. Hehehe! Thanks for sharing your results, too.

So glad that you shared it with us, too.

How does it work Teri? Do you mix with water?

Hi Kay... all I did was squirt a bunch into some warm water in the sink and let my doily sit there for a while... then I rinsed the lace and set it out to dry. Very soft. :-) I wouldn't necessarily do this for bookmarks or anything you may want to keep stiff, but for doilies, most definitely!

Thank you Teri.

Thanks for the tip

Great idea. Hopefully I remember. *4U

That never even crossed my mind. Usually I want a little stiffness to keep the shape, like in bookmarks.

For ornaments or bookmarks, I don't recommend. But definitely for lace you want softened.

I wouldn't have thought about haircondioner but washsoftener, but it is a good tip Teri. Have to try. Thank you

Often wondered how to soften the lace I just avoided it because of the stiffness. thank you so much .

A lot of us get those sample packs in the mail from time to time. They would be super just for this occassion... I also heard fabric softener is good too but I haven't tried it...FIESTA ;D *2U
