Fabrics Minnesota

I need to have fabrics tested to ensure they meet standards for commercial buildings

Try your state's branch of the EPA.

Here's a commercial for Minnesota Fabrics. This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, September 24th 1981 @ a little bit before 12 Noon ...

I have searched all over for it and can not find it. I was hoping to make a fleece tie blanket for a friend. The name of a store that carries it would be great. Thanks!

I know that Joann's Fabric and Craft stores carry a wide assortment of licensed fleece, as well as general patterns, too. They have a website (yep, www.joann.com) where you can search for particular patterns and manufacturers. I don't know if yours is a pattern or a manufacturer, but they let you search by almost anything.

So I would like to know the best paint formulas for leather shoes. Like the type of paint and mediums to mix with it. And what would I need to stitch fabric to shoes and how. The shoes I will be working with are Air Force Ones. Mid and Low Tops. I can paint but I tried to do the Chicago Bulls Logo and it came out wrong. Is there any way or is there any place in Minnesota where it can be scanned on after being painted. I would really like to know from someone who is a professional artist or someone who knows good formulas like shoe customizers. I also would like to thank the people for being patient and answering the question

I personally have had to experiment with combinations of the color and either nail polish remover or acetone. It takes time to do such a thing, and if you're gonna wear them then you should try Angelus paint. I heard it doesn't crack. Try uptowns.net they have some customizing tips there. Not too sure about the scanning thing, do some more research.

I want to attract a nesting bird couple to my new birdhouse. The most common birds in my area are house sparrows and cardinals. Should I put in some nesting material, like fabric scraps? Or just let the birds collect what they like?

Cornell Lab of Ornitology suggests providing a variety of nesting material for the bird to pick from, but do not put it in the birdhouse - birds like to arrange their own nests.

"Ideally you should provide nest material naturally by leaving or creating wild, natural areas on your property (perhaps hidden from your neighbor's view) where plants can grow into thickets, and leaves and twigs can fall and not be raked up immediately. This untidy debris gives a variety of material for the birds to pick through when they are building nests. They may even pick through your compost pile looking for suitable nest material.

Alternatively, you can put out concentrated stashes of nest material. It can be natural materials like straw, small sticks, and twigs, or manmade materials such as yarn and string. Try putting out any combination of the following:
Dead twigs
Dead leaves
Dry grass
Yarn or string—cut into 4- to 8-inch pieces
Human or animal hair (especially horse hair)
Fur (e.g. dog or cat fur)
Sheep's wool
Feathers
Plant fluff or down (e.g. cattail fluff, cottonwood down)
Kapok, cotton batting, or other stuffing material
Moss
Bark strips
Pine needles
Thin strips of cloth, about 1 inch wide by 6 inches long
Shredded paper

Among the strange materials birds occasionally use in their nests are snake skins, plastic strips, cellophane, and aluminum foil. Many small birds use spider webs to glue nest material together. Swallows, phoebes, and American Robins use mud to construct their nests. You might consider creating or keeping a muddy puddle in your garden for them.

What about dryer lint? Some people include this as suitable bird nesting material. Others recommend against it because it is porous and dries out poorly if it's rained on in the nest. Still others warn that wet dryer lint dries into a hard mass, providing poor nest insulation, however this may happen only if it contains laundry detergent or fabric softener residue. More information is needed before we can recommend offering dryer lint.

How to offer nest material
Place nesting materials, such as twigs and leaves, in piles on the ground—other materials, too, if they won't blow away.
Try putting fluffy materials, hair, or fur in wire-mesh suet cages, or in string or plastic mesh bags, attached to tree trunks, fence posts, or deck railings. The birds will pull out the material through the mesh holes.
Push material into tree crevices or drape it over vegetation.
Put material into an open-topped, plastic berry basket (such as strawberries are sold in).
Some manufacturers sell spiral wire hangers especially for putting out nest material. (One type looks like a oversized honey-dipper.) " http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBir ds/attracting/other_attract/nest_materia l


By the way, no matter what nesting material you provide, the cardinals will not use the birdhouse, as they are not cavity nesters - they make their nest in the boughs of trees.
