I was sewing recently and had to spit on the pale pink fabric as a large red spot appeared :-O<BR/><BR/>It never does it on dark fabric though does it? It's like the iron never spitting pale 'bits' on light fabrics, only black. <BR/><BR/>xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-44304498468614796772008-10-01T19:14:00.000+01:002008-10-01T19:14:00.000+01:00OMG!I just abused an apostrophe in the post above....OMG!<BR/>I just abused an apostrophe in the post above.<BR/>I'm off to chastise myself severely....<BR/>(see my July blog post called "I'd Rather Carry On Smoking Thanks")Mrs Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569446870390354453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-73955952515052972242008-10-01T19:12:00.000+01:002008-10-01T19:12:00.000+01:00ah-ha!
