Hi all,
Completely off previous topics, but I need a quick answer. Can I use Kroil to oil a stagnant machine, just like I would use regular sewing machine oil? and are they interchangeable, can i use it instead of of plain singer oil? Thanks, playing with my new/old Necchi:) Jane |

Boy was I doing a weird dance after that -- it hurt! I was not even cussing -- just too painful!
Nancy I've cut my left index finger twice now. :oops: I'm being very much more careful now; the last time I needed 2 stitches and had to explain to the DR what a rotary cutter was. I said it was sorta like a pizza cutter only nearly scalpel sharp and I use it for cutting fabrics. One of the nurses was a quilter and knew what I was talking about. Sharon W. :oops: |

I have an old treadle table, minus the original top that needs to be worked on. It is missing the rod between the treadle and the wheel. I will have to figure out some substitute. Then I can put the two together with a new top! Fun!

Monica, I have seen the Fons & Porter glove, maybe it is time to buy one? Kathy, no it didn't get stitched, butterflied shut. And, thank you, I am up to date on tetanus! Nancy |

Nancy Hi Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear about your mishap. From one who has had two fingers caught in a lawn mower blade I know it can be very sore, especially when bumping it. Here are some suggestions as to what my treatment involved. First I was told to soak my fingers twice daily in clear water. I had 60-100 stitches in a 1 inch square area of two fingers though. Keep plenty of ointment on the cut, adding to it throughout the day, then wrap up. I used clear gauze then the stretchy wrap. I do not have any scars on either of these fingers. My thumb that I cut back in high school that I kept dry does have a scar and it was butterflied shut without stitches. The injury was at the end my middle and ring finger and also caught my index finger as well. The ointment, triple antibiotic kind, will keep the area moist and germ free. The ointment allows the cut to heal from the inside out. The skin will not become dry which is where the scars are formed. The injury healed after several months. They were quite sensitive for a long long time. Even now the end of my middle finger is overly sensitive if I smack my hand down the wrong way, but this finger also had the bone split. They are also more sensitive to hot and cold ever since. I'm always mindful to keep gloves on my hands in the winter now. I would definitely invest in the cutting glove. You might want to check out gloves at your local Harbor Freight or supply house. I also use one of the ruler holders, found cheaper at Harbor Freight or using coupons. I'm also mindful to stop cutting fabric when I start to get tired. I've learned it's better to wait until I'm rested for cutting fabric. If using the blades from HF, please note they seem to be very very sharp, as they are in fact carpet cutters, not made for cutting fabric. I do believe they have a different edge on them that makes them sharper. Good luck as your finger heals. Have a Great Day! Pam M |
