Darn Darn Darn (I'm Being Polite)

I bought these at a quilt show. The first show they were $1 each - the next time I saw them a year later they were $5 each! They do tend to fall apart after a while, but they work great.

This is what they look like:

Call me backwards and uninformed... naive... or whatever but why would anybody shave their eyebrows? All I can picture is the inevitable stubble- and yet another darn place to have to shave??? Trying to maintain my poor ol' body is about to become a full time job!

Les, they are to SHAPE your eyebrows quickly. Rather than plucking those stray hairs underneath the arch, you use these.

I found them in the beauty aisle at Wal-Mart. They were in a pack of 3 for less than $3.

I like the ones that are have a head of about 1/2".

They look like this:

LOL. Thanks, Leslie. Polly

On your eyebrows or to rip seams??

LOL

It really does work well. Hold the fabric apart with your left hand and "saw" at the seam with your right.

(do the opposite or stand on your head for you lefties out there)

It's bad enough trying to get eyebrow pencil on in a somewhat similar look on my face. And you want to let me loose with a little straight razor??!! no, no, no, I don't think this is a good idea.......

G> LOL. =A0Thanks, Leslie. =A0 Polly

I have one of those new "little comb" type seam rippers, don't believe the claim that they won't rip fabric, they can. I handed mine to a friend and said, "Don't worry, they don't rip fabric" OOPS, nice little hole in a satin baby dress.

I do like the thing a lot, though, just be as careful as with a regular ripper.

Jeezum Crow, I've been telling EVERYBODY that it doesn't cut the fabric. Guess I'd better put a warning on it.

You can also tear fabric in the most unusual ways. Friend of mine was quilting merrily along; came to a "why's it stuck?" sort of spot and gave the quilt a hefty jerk. The wheel of her chair had rolled on the quilt. We put a nice appliqué over the rip. Lesson learned. Polly

Well, I'm on the other coast and I agree with Taria and Ginger! PAT
