MAKING BATHROOM TOWELS LAST LONGER
Dear Heloise: My bathroom towels wear out and fray along the edges and become unsightly, so I have to throw them out while the rest of the towels are still good. To remedy this, I use the zigzag stitch on my sewing machine with matching color thread to bind the edges. By doing this, the towels last much longer. Another choice would be to donate the frayed towels to an animal shelter. -- Sharon in California
