1970's Persil When my familyI lived in England at the end of the 1970's, Persil was a soap based powder containing soap as the main surfactant and phosphates as the water softener. I loved the fragrance, our neighbor used Persil in her Hotpoint top loader. I still remember the distinct soapy...

I'm with nmassman44. I made Meile refund my purchase of their brand products.

I agree with Ironrite. must be the full moon. I finally had time to sew today, but decided that I had better not. It always seems that when I have a close deadline that something happens.

Hi Greg, Each company is a separate entity. Brother International and Janome being Japanese companies. Babylock is owned by Tacony in St. Louis, who's sewing machines are mostly made by Brother. They only have minor software differences. Janome now owns Elna, obviously making those machines(just...

HI Greg, Thanks for posting all of that excellent information. Seems all of the manufacturer's are moving their production to Asia. Bernina has sent production of their Activa, along side their Bernette lines there. The holding company that owns Singer, Viking and Pfaff has sent all of it's...

Hello laundromat, It's likely a 1/4 inch piecing foot that creates a standard quarter inch seam by following the edge of the foot. If she can't find the foot at Sears, try a Janome dealer, most Kenmore's are Janome made. At the dealer I work we sell two versions, one with a guide and one...

Toploader, I noticed the other day while shopping at the Gordon's Foodservice Ann Arbor, that the professional Cascade still has STPP in the formula.

Got it! Thank you, sent you an email reply. T

Try Shaklee's Soft, very light scent and doesn't build-up.

I was curious if the Miele dishwasher tabs were phosphate free. Hoping not, of course. I wonder if they're still made by Claro. They've developed an "ECO" line of products. http://www.claro.at/EN/Products/

A friend of mine passed on to me a machine that sounds like your description. It was made for the commercial/restaurant market. It's a Kleenjet deluxe 150. This model is several years old, has been even more deluxified with a stainless outer tank and more output power. Overall, I think it's a...

Beautiful job! I love my serger too. Rolled hem with wooly nylon has always been my fav stitch, napkins and tablecloths are a breeze. I've also done edges like this on a sewing machine with an overlock stitch, foot and perle cotton riding along the edge, to add strength.

It's my understanding from talking to my Miele dealer, that the older series were Panasonic made. The new series are German, made by Miele. Friend just bought a "Tango", nice machine.

Hello, I'm going to be frank. Run away! The investment firm that bought Singer and subsequently, Viking and Pfaff, a couple of years ago is driving those names into the ground. Singer already has the reputation of poor quality, disposable merchandise. Viking and Pfaff are on their way. I've...

LK, The only commercial US detergents I've found that do not contain OBA's are Cheer powder, which is confirmed by their website and Woolite. The natural detergents usually state whether or not they contain them on the label's ingredients list. I've recently found that Amway's reformulated...

Happy Birthday!!!
