I'm working on a hotpad for my order that goes up to Kalona tomarrow. I put my htpds together face to face with batting in the middle and then turn them rt side out. I have used the tip of my little scissors to poke out the corners for over 10 yrs. I KNOW how to not poke through the fabric!!!!! I thought! So I turn this hotpad poke out 3 corners by putting the tip into the bulk of the seam. But on the 4th one you guessed it the tip slid into the back fabric and I had a nice hole. No problem I tamp down the frayed edge. *gritting my teeth* and I set it up to sew the finish seam over it to hold down the raw edges and my needle bends and breaks!!! And the phone rings!!! at the same time!!!!

Take me away Calgon!!!!!!

Ok I have vented and then phone call was from the friend who cuts the templates for me so talking to him I got under control again!!! :hunf: :hunf: :hunf: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm good now! Back to the fray!! Now where are those needles?
