Bandana Craft TipsI always wash them in cold salt water first to "set" the dye. Another thing I do is put a small safety pin in the area where it tells me where the thing is made. That way the main body of whatever I am making will be free of any words, but will have clear bandana print.

Check Valves Before Calling For Washer RepairMy Bendix washer recently made all the right noises, and lit up beautifully - but didn't fill with water. It suddenly occurred to me that there might be an airlock or sticking valve, so I picked up the inlet pipe, lifted it above the level of the inlet valve, and gave it a very gentle shake. Whatever the explanation was - my washing machine has been working perfectly ever since.
