Way Back When

Thursday January 8, 2009
Many, many years ago, the 4H group I was a part of was named The Harmony Homemakers... BUT most of the time we called ourselves The Ripper Outers... because it seemed like all we did was rip out anything we had sewn.
No one likes to rip out because it is counterproductive to getting the project completed but we learned a lot and learned to except our sewing to look good when we were done by ripping out imperfections. We also learned that haste makes waste when we tried to plow through with a seam ripper, ripping our fabric beyond repair. [br]This week I am sharing the best ways to rip out a seam and not damage your fabric and then resew the seam.
