Oh well, I'm sure there are worse things to put up with. I love your tape solution and all the great tips in the comments.

When I was in the US my husband was mortified when I insisted on bringing home 4 rolls of duct tape (and because of his reaction I stuffed all my other bits and pieces in each of the kids carry ons!). We do have duct tape in Australia, but not the pretty designs that are to be found in the US!

Yay for better ergonomics without buying something new!<br /><br />And I'm afraid I'm with the guys' team on pillows. I love the idea of making them but they drive me nuts on beds. A few on deep couches are helpful to cozy up with, but not a lot. Sad, because they're more more maker-friendly than throw-size quilts!mailergoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216479332600097416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-66069247571192281922014-01-30T10:20:34.560-06:002014-01-30T10:20:34.560-06:00Duct tape works but, even better, clear bandage ta...Duct tape works but, even better, clear bandage tape from Nexcare.

My husband often quotes Red Green, "If the women don't find you handsome. At least they will find you handy." If you don't know what Red Green does. He uses tuck tape on everything. Here is the link to his YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/redgreentv <br /><br />Also Cheryl Phillips from Phillips Fiber Arts uses packing tape on her acrylic rulers to stay in place. I caught an Kay Wood episode on YouTube where Cheryl guest appeared on.
