I *believe* essential oil, is actually more like essential alcohol (that’s just not too catchy!!), the alcohol evaporates with heat leaving the scent behind. Some people use this on light bulbs directly etc… so I can’t imagine it has real oil in it. But I could be totally wrong hehe

There is a starch you can make that contains vodaka that is suppose to work really well, I wish I could find it.
I was a bit embarrassed by my backs, but they look good now that I have started starching. It is a big difference, I was surprised.
I want to try turning the head 90'. Do you only do it when quilting or for general sewing?

Just when quilting...I would have never thought of this idea on my own!

I ordered my Shape Cut Pro from http://shoppersrule.com
Do a search for the one you want and make an offer. If they don't accept your offer, they will counter offer and you can choose to accept or not.

Looks like you could get the 16.5x16.5 ruler for $22 with $8 shipping using this site. I don't have the money now, but I was curuious so I checked it out. Have you ordered from them, are the pretty reliable?
