I have a friend who does some sewing in her spare time. She asked if i still needed any SS/Bologna bags.

SURE

So i told her my idea on the thread colors.

Green thread for mildly warm, Red for warm/hot and white for regular.

Different lengths and i have 20 yards being made into bags now. Un bleached cotton muslin.

My wife tried to show me how to sew with her machine, I messed it up so bad she had to take it to a shop to get fixed. Last time for that so its cheaper to pay my friend.
 
My wife is a quilter. She has 3 sewing machines worth somewhere around $3000 each. I think she could make some bologna bags, but then again I have a hard time getting her to sew a button on my pants.

The time in the fridge really takes the green weight down and makes a semi dry SS.
