Hey 125664! Thanks again for all that info. Remember when you are down you are making progress!
It sounds like you worked out the bed. I thought of one thing you may help if you have not seen it. Mr. CS and his leather sofa. They do not get into my belts that I leave in my bedroom at all except the one that had stitching. Anyway, leather seems safe, I was imagining getting some clothes made with the filament thread. That would be totally safe. I think there is washable leather.
Ok, so glad you found some solutions ( and for sharing ). If you get the rife I would love to hear how it is doing. Sounds like we have a similar situation to some degree.
