My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am told I can remove the rust. How? You've got to be joking. Buy yourself some new needles. > My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am > told I can remove the rust. How? I bought a package saying "assorted needles". They aren't rusty, but they're all the same size and too small to jam a thread in. > You've got to be joking.

How? >My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am >told I can remove the rust. How? Soak overnight in a strong tea solution, rinse, dry and remove last traces by sewing a thick paper towel. > >My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots.

Kerosene removes light rust well. Keep a large piece of "sidewalk" chalk in your sewing box to help prevent rust, and store your sewing box in a warmer location than the surrounding area. It might be better to toss the rusty needles unless you've had a titanus shot within the past 5 years. >My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots.

I used it to empty water from my fish tank and put the fish into another tank. the water was green/dirty so i put this sodium percarbonate/sodium carbonate mix into the pan with hot water to disinfect. then i found some cups and spoons stained so i put them in. next day the pan was black in places the cups rested on. the pan has to be wire wooled every use its aluminium and it would take forever with black stains so i dumped it. >>>>> I followed Dawn's advice and ruined my needles and my pan. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > be wire wooled every use its aluminium and it would take forever with > black stains so i dumped it. You use your STEW pan to aid in cleaning a fish tank ! Sweep, I am horrified at you. To waste your pan because you are too lazy to give it a thorough cleaning is disgusting. If I could I would be at your house with my trusty Brillo and clean it up then pass it on to a charity shop for the needy. All very well dumping the pan in summer but I think you'll regret your actions when winter comes around again and your mind turns to scrag and dumplings but you find nothing to cook it in. > I followed Dawn's advice and ruined my needles and my pan. how? > > I followed Dawn's advice and ruined my needles and my pan. > > how? The rust spots on my needles were too small to notice. Now they're completely corroded. I used only a little water to make the tea strong. When it boiled I put a bag in and turned the burner down. When I checked in five minutes, somebody had turned the burner to high. The pan's coating had blistered. >>> I followed Dawn's advice and ruined my needles and my pan. >> >> how? > > The rust spots on my needles were too small to notice.

You can't blame Gary this time! > >>> I followed Dawn's advice and ruined my needles and my pan. > >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheap pans! > I wonder who that "someone" could be?

They would never have been any good. Well Mrs. B. I am quite frankly under the impression that this "Choreboy" is putting us on... One can only imagine if this were the days of crank gramaphones when one had to change gramaphone needles continually - she would be in a constant state of eroded needle uproar!

You can't blame Gary this time! Seems it's all MY fault! I clean needles with the little emery bag attached to the tomato pin cushion. It's super fine sand and cleans off the yukkies.

Dawn's going to feel even > worse about her bad advice! >From a regular yardarge/notions supply. I imagine, if they are still available, someplace like JoAnne's. Even check e-Bay if you can't find one locally. The pin cushion was made into the shape of a tomato. Attached to it, by a cord, was a strawberry. This is filled with emery. You just plunge your needle through several times. I do this if the needles start hanging up when going through fabric. I lived in a desert/hot area and my fingers would get sweaty. Joan :My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am :told I can remove the rust. How? I can't believe they don't make stainless steel sewing needles. I have some rusty needles, too, You could sand them with fine wet-dry sandpaper. I like the advice about the chalk and storing in a warmer place. >> My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am >> told I can remove the rust. How?

As a rule most will not pay the extra. If Choreboy had not been so tight fisted he would have saved money in the long run, as it is, he will now not only have to buy new needles but a saucepan as well! > >> My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots.

Gary told you to make me look like a fool because I exposed his slander about Windex Original. You want to goad me into sticking out my tongue so I'll look even sillier! > > >> My sewing needles bind in fabric because they have rust spots. I am > > >> told I can remove the rust. How?
