If you've read my previous posts, I was having trouble with milky streaks
showing up in my polyurethane finish. I've done a lot of poly finishing
over the years and this is a new one for me. All the reasons I could think
of or heard, didn't seem to apply.
So I sanded off the milky streaks and fi
There are very many reasons why fuse cartridges are superior, safety and fire
are only two.
Fuse wire is a very primitive technology and used still because of legacy
installations.

anytime we can replace a standard market product with that of what a
limited market such as that of "blindness" we are doing all consumers a
favor.

I would imagine that the thinner twist ties, stripped, would work as well.

sounds like fuse wire, or fshing line is good enough. After the shipping
you could buy a lot of wire than to give to the likes of Maxi.

If you can't find a drip outside of the machine, you will have to access the

bottom in the back and then comes up in a plastic hose to a spot on the wall.
I have not felt any moister on the place where the hose attaches to the washer.

Jennifer,
First, how is the drain arranged? Usually that is where trouble starts.
Does the tub over fill? I am assuming a top load.

Hello Again,
My washing machine is leaking. If I put a load into soak the water leaks out
of the washing machine and all over my floor. When just a regular load runs it
does leak a little water, but only a small puddle in front of the machine and
maybe under it.
I am really hoping this is an
I use the dental floss threaders, called dental loops I think, to thread my
surger.
They are just sometimes to big for the eye of standard needles.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I remember using the wire loop threaders
when I could see-- I just wasn't sure how easy it was to find the eye of the
needle with one when you can't see anymore. Do you think nylon floss threaders
would work, too?The kind that have a loop that you pass floss
I think fuse wire is used to make your own fuses in countries that haven't
caught up with the rest of the world where you can just go to the store and
buy ready made fuses.

Linda! You can make your own by taking a short length of fuse wire
My needle threader was given to me by the Cincinnati association for the
blind. You lay a piece of thread across the end of it and push a button and
the needle is threaded. It is about an inch wide by a half inch and 2 or
3 inches long and made of plastic. It couldn't cost more than five bucks
I would love to find one that lasted 20 uses, 20 years is amazing. My needle
threaders never seem to last past one garmet, sometimes I need two for a
project. I just get the kind available at the same places I buy other sewing
notions, but I have been considering trying a stronger gage of wire
Don't worry about the postage, Andy. She can send it free matter for the
blind. :)

You might want to try the butler floss threader. They would appear the same
as what you are trying to make with thin fishing line. Because the plastic
is a little thicker the floss threaders will only work with larger eyed
needles. I think Singer makes packaged larger eyed needles but since I am
