LOL I have only been gone from Canada two years and I had forgotten that already. Do you have a two dollar bill tucked away somewhere - I used to :)

:shock: Really?? Pulling oil through the tension discs? Sounds like oil stains would wind up on the thread and quilt, along with messed up tension because it got too slippery in there. I could easily be wrong...

I use a Swiffer Sweeper refill sheet and glide it between the discs.

I also would never use "oil" ....howeve; dollar bills have natural human oil just from our hands, no worries.

Not sure it would work. US bills are not made of paper - they are made of cotton. Are Canadian bills made out of paper or cotton?

I shall have to try that, thanks
