    I think I'll start making it a habit.  It would be something good to

    It makes sense.  Never thought of it that way - the moisture.  You don't 
think of it.  I wonder what the electronic Endust would do to it?

   Sounds like fun.  It's true, the postage and handling can kill you.  And 
when you get the income from the sewing, then it's a good plan to use it to 
replenish.

    Well, neither of my machines is very fancy, I don't use mine as much as 
you or others on the echo.  I just don't have the time.  
  
    BTW:  Picked up the cone thread holder this morning at Walmart, hopefully 
I can try it out tonight when I get home from work.
  
Talk to you later.
