The Longest Day
213 ViewsDull, wet, windy and the weather isn’t great either. Working the hell for leather shift with as many coffee breaks as I can manage. It’s going to be long in more ways than one. The dog is fed up too.
My machinery hates leatheron. It refuses to top stitch the stuff unless I hide it under a slice of kitchen roll. Parafin supposedly does the same job without the need to pick the bits out of the stitching but it stinks. Teflon spray is another aid when you don’t have a walking foot but that involves going shopping to get some as does the parafin. I kinda like the kitchen roll solution since I invented it. Toilet roll would do equally well for those longer stretches. Yes yes… sheer genius and you don’t even have to leave the house.
There’s more to kitchen roll than just a bra filler.

ermmmm.. this is like deja vu.. and rice paper !!!
I didn’t have any rice paper but it would probably have been easier to dissolve than super absorbent thirst pockets or whatever they’re called. They dont melt when you put water on them
You want to pop along to the Belfast Telegraph office and ask for an ‘end of reel’ … you get a huge roll of paper (blank) and it comes in handy for almost everything. We charge 75p (a token charge) which goes to the company charity, (The Sunshine Fund - underprivileged children in the NorthEast) but BT may be different. If your interested ring them…. bearing in mind you’d have to collect.
I’m sure that would come in handy for something but then I already have too much stuff that might come in handy for something and have very little storage space. If the Tele recycle their old pallets into garden sheds for 75p I’d have somewhere to keep the paper… if I had somewhere to put the shed.
I shall keep it in mind for future reference though
