I'm sure it's not a verb, so I'll take two of them anyway: 3 and 13.

Good luck with your computer, Millie.

[Dodi Schultz]

Haven't the remotest idea. I'll hazard guesses at:

> 2: a carpet edging [rare]

and

> 11: a cotton fabric with colored lacework surrounding a plain field

And commiserations on, and good wishes for quick repair of, your
internet connection problems!

[Guerri Stevens]

I'll throw my support behind the unlikely 8 and 15:
