Not A Ripping Good Time

Ripping skills are good to have. Many times when I've had a new stitcher come through in hysterics, step one is to take out the @#$! mess she's made. ( That was putting it very politely.) Many times I've carefully, gently removed the offending threads while she has a cup of tea, dose of Valium, whatever it took to calm her highly offended delicate sensibilities. When I was only four years old, my dear granny made everything right for me. She had fine ripping skills. It is a gift you can give to someone in great distress. Meanwhile, when you can; buy a spare bobbin case. I'm thinking mine was less than $30 and is almost as helpful as a new sharp needle. Polly

I feel for you, Mary! As Polly said, though, ripping is a fine skill to have. And why is it so much less difficult to rip out someone else's mistakes than our own?

Pictures have to wait until the gift is presented.

Thanks for all the sympathy. Now to re-quilt!
