More ditch quilting - and a sewing tip -

 
 
More of the same - 

Ditch quilting on my Antique Squirrel - BIG BROTHER version-

 
And - because that is probably getting boring - 
 
I thought I would add a link to a video of a handy tip - 
 
That you may or may not know -
 
The Correct Way to Use a Seam Ripper (with the Red Ball)
Cucicucicoo - Eco Sewing and Crafting - 
 


I don't know about you - 

But I learned that a LONG time ago - 
 
When I got my first seam ripper - 

Then - through the years - I forgot all about it - 

And have been doing it the HARD way for years - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

  1. I already knew that too. I do that most of the time. However, I have cut the fabric a few times. The seam ripper is sharper than you think.

  2. Yep, that's the way I do it but there are times when I still manage to cut into a section I didn't intend to. Thanks for sharing :)

  3. Same here, I manage to cut the fabric no matter how I do it. So I’m happy to take my time.

  4. I'm with the majority here. I have used that method and cut my fabric accidentally. I think there is more to the tip on exactly what angle you have to hold the ripper but maybe that just comes with experimentation and practice.
