Post Handy tip....

Just used this & it's probably been shared before but....
Use the "roll of sticky sheets" to pick out stitches when having used the handy-dandy seam ripper!
It does the trick, also anything else on finished block....

What is a "roll of sticky sheets"?

Are you talking about a lint roller?

She might mean the rollers with the handles and sticky tape on them. Used for picking up lent off clothing and things.

I use lint rollers on flannel covered design walls and on my clothes. I seem to always have pieces of threads stuck to my shirts. Can't take me anywhere without finding a thread somewhere on me!

I have used them for a long time. They are also good to roll over my quilts after washed and dried. Any threads I have missed cutting off get stuck and then I cut them.

For me a pencil eraser is smaller, close to hand, and works well, too.

You know what else works well? An emery board. One of those popsicle-stick shaped things covered with a sandy substance that you can file your nails down with.

Ok now I'm laughing at myself because I'm such a dork.
