Thanks Bev, I am glad you noticed it and got it posted. You will have to try it out. I will try to remember to let you know - when I turn in the voucher.

Bev, I got some of the designs that were on sale for stockings - what did you get with your last TIP?
by bevintex 17 Nov 2010
Look in the 99 cent designs.
alot like lace roses,a fsl wreath, fsl poiensetttia,a strawberry applique and a mini desert scene. Alot for free!
by shirlener88 17 Nov 2010

Oh my - you could have submitted this - as it is actually the thread that you are coating with the fabric softener - to keep it untangled. Thanks! *4U

What does it do? Or should I say, what is the purpose?
1 comment
by shirlener88 17 Nov 2010
The purpose is to detangle the thread or to leave it to where the thread will slip through the fabric easier and will not tangle up so easily. *4U

Congratulations! Some of us knew of your tip before you did due to the time zone. lol I use those dryer sheets for a lot of stuff. Used ones for dusting TV and computer screens etc. and new ones for static control in the winter for garments and hair when conditioner fails.

Anita, I guess you did - isn't that funny? I hope that you submit some of those idea's - they might accept them - who knows. *4U
by capoodle 17 Nov 2010
They probably only accept ones that are embroidery/sewing oriented.

Hello, Shirlene, I am glad you win voucher!
But, it's difficult to understand (for poor foreigner I am) what to do exactly. I understand it's for thread not to tangle, I understand what is fabric softener sheet, but I suppose it is for hand sewing only ? If it's also for machine sewing, I don't understand what to do exactly. Thank you to let me know, pleasssse. Hug and love

Francoise, you are right - it is for hand sewing - but I think that you could run your thread through a dryer sheet - if you wanted to for your machine embroidery - but the sheet might mess up your thread more than it would be worth. Just stick your needle and thread through a fabric softener sheet - so that the thread doesn't tangle while hand sewing. *4U
by shirlener88 17 Nov 2010
It allows the tread to slip through the fabric easier - so that the thread doesn't tangle up and knot while sewing.

Great! I also use the scented fabric softener sheets to make the bugs leave us alone at a picnic.

CONGRATULATIONS Shirlene. Great tip. There are a lot of uses for dryer sheet. If you have a cat with alergies, rub a used one on her fur to sooth the itch. This tip was given to my brother from his vet.
Enjoy your new designs.
