Frayed carpet edges can be prevented pre-vented from further fraying by applying ap-plying binding tape. Dickies for various frocks and sweaters can be made from a man's old shirt tails. Fine poplin and striped shirtings are excellent for this purpose. Water rings on varnished furniture furni-ture can often be removed by rubbing rub-bing them with a cloth dipped in camphor. Work quickly and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. When dry, rub with furniture polish, applied ap-plied on a soft cloth. .

It is likely to destroy the surface glaze. When sewing something that requires re-quires a good bit of thread, fill several bobbins before you begin. Then all you will have to do is replace the empty bobbin with a full one. This saves time and patience, pa-tience, and one can sew steadily for a long time.
