Yes but only once It was a quilt of scraps-And I do mean scraps. No cutting-No squaring the pcs were zig-zagged over lapping one another My 8yr old Great-Niece wanted a Squirrely Quilt for camping -picnics and the beach She knows what she wants and its her favorite quilt. We had a ball making it together We didn't 'stuff' it- its just 2 Squirrely tops quilted together I was quite surprised at how pretty it turned out even tho it will never win any ribbons it gave me a much bigger reward Time with my niece :D :D

i was just (griping) yesturday about how ... dull.... my seam ripper has become- must mean it's being used---i don't remember using it so much it could dull it---
but it's ability to still do it's job is slowing down- i'm going to have to retire the dear friend- and find a new one... anyone else wear out their seam ripper lately? i have to say-i've been sewing for 45 years- have gone through seam rippers- for what ever reasons- but don't remember tossing one for being too dull to cut threads-- is it the variety of threads- dulling? or the quality of materials used to make the ripper- not hold their edge well? or maybe it's just because i have no idea how old this ripper is- it could be 10-15 years old since i bought a new one--actually i think about 6 or 7-- thinking about this i think there may be a couple in my old sewing box from back in the 70's- i will have to pull one out & see how sharp it is... sorry i'm just rambling along here- seam rippers---such a necessary --- |
Sometimes I think I will get away with it and that is when the powers that be send me a botched seam just to keep me in line. LOL

As much as I also hate those private parties as well I just wouldn't want Mr Jack to get lonesome to the point that he'd disapear and then when I really needed him I'd go crazy looking for him. I misplace things already so at least if I use them alot it's easier to keep track of them.
|
No no, it's my "best pal" though with the last infant quilt I am sewing I think I might....(yeah right!)
|
My seam ripper is my best friend.
|
Yes when I do machine applique and do a faux sqs top.
|
Never. Some days, I use Jack more than I do my machine.
