Hi.  I new to bread making and new to this forum.  First of all I guess I need to figure out if there is an advanced search function?

My question is this (I'm sure it's been discussed before but I am having trouble with the searches...)

I would like to know about flour sifters.  I just want an ordinary metal sifter with a crank on the side like my mother used to have.  I just received the one I ordered today and when I put a scoop of flour in it the flour fell right through the holes--all of it. 

I've seen online that there are different grades of mesh but only the industrial sifters will list the squares per inch on their models.  How can I find a regular  sifter with a fine mesh?
