Clare Rowley is an inventor and owner of Creative Feet in Prescott Valley, Arizona. She’s going to make napkins using the Satin edge pressure foot she invented for a blind and deaf sewer in 1986.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
1 quart Florida strawberries
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. margarine
1 bag (14 oz.) dark chocolate
3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
Wash and let strawberries dry at room temperature. (Leave stems on berries.) Combine margarine, corn syrup, salt and powdered sugar; pat around berries. Place berries on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for 2 hours before dipping with chocolate. Melt chocolate in double boiler until thin. Dip strawberries in melted chocolate and place on clean wax paper until firm. Chocolate can be melted in microwave on defrost only if you do not have a double boiler. Put in microwavable dish for 6 to 8 minutes on defrost, stirring every 2 minutes until chocolate is completely melted. It may take longer, depending on microwave.
