Frogging
#11
The last quilt show I went to I bought a little battery shaver, a mustache trimmer I think it was called, but it works great. Google it for a demonstration. It is made by Wahl. The address with mine is Sew Wonderful Dreams, Coeur D'Alene, ID

I just got one and love it for long seams but have trouble using it for small pieces. I find it I hold down one end of the fabric with my elbow to hold it taut it works great. But haven't figured out how to separate small pieces. I'm assuming from reading other posts that frogging means ripping out seams, but I had not heard that term before.

For quilt tops of blocks I cut every 3-5 stitches.
I use the shaver type item more for if I have to remove work done on my LA as it is faster. Unfortunately, on blocks and tops there would be a lot of cut threads to remove.

Just letting you know that this shaver is most likely a "Wahl" mustache trimmer and it costs less than $10. Several of my friends have bought one at the big quilt shows and when you take off the label on the shaver that the seller put on them, there for everyone to see, is the Wahl trademark. My friends paid $25 for these and then I show them mine that I bought on Amazon, which is the same one, for $8. So, please be advised. You can also get them at Walmart.
