I saw a posting in a Babylock serger group complaining about the thickness of the "fleece" They were told to pound the seams.
When it comes to fleece to make clothes, Polar does a thinner fleece that is fairly decent to work with. Not like the normal no-sew junk Joann and Hancock sells. Polar is more expensive.
Now bring back the old robe velour.

I think we have to go back to the beginning of what we drink. What happened to good old water from the tap. Our cities spend a lot of money making our water safe to drink, and we go and buy more from the store in these plastic bottles, and it is way more expensive than gasoline.
We have to get rid of all these plastic bottles and plastic bags. They are just cruel to our animal life, and in turn, cruel to us when we use these animals for our food.

I agree--there needs to be more research. Everyday there is some new article about something we eat or use that warns us about its danger. After awhile there won't be anything we should eat or use that is good for us or the environment.

We had to replace our septic system about 10 years ago. We chose to have the water that drains from the washer go into the yard to water the grass and bushes. It does not go down the drain and into the septic system. If you have a big yard, consider diverting the water from the washer into your yard, especially if you are in an area that rations water.

Wash water, kitchen water, and bath water are called gray water. We are on a septic system too and have our gray water diverted to be emptied by different pipes and not in the tank. We had to get approval from the powers that be and was given the go ahead to only have sewage go to the septic tank. The septic tank empties into the same pipe as the gray water, I don't understand and really don't want to.
