are those the little plastic thingies that are round and have the holes cut out on the edges?
I did ok, after much fiddling...on my #9, but today I sewed them down...should have left them pinned, lol.
oh well, last time I tried to rip stitches that little? I ripped alright...two tiny holes in a block.
Had to retire that one!
It will be staying "as is".
