Just had to use the good old seam ripper...was watching tv while I sewed, and sewed the wrong end closed, DUH. I guess I was doing okay, because no one came in and grabbed it out of my hand, yelling no no no. Lol. Anyone wants to criticize my method can take over the job of ripping for me, lol.
I DID pay attention to which end I was closing the second time.
