I bet an emery board would work really well, I'll have to try it. Thank You for your bright idea.

Emery boards don't seem to last around my house and I can't for the life of me figure out why. They just disappear. I use a chopstick, sharpened in my pencil sharpener, as a stiletto.

Another idea for emery boards,when you have to unsew(rip it,rip it)the little threads that remain run an emery across both pieces of fabric and they come right out.

I will probably try this, thanks for the tip. I usually use the awl I purloined from a tool box years ago. )

It's funny what disappears in different houses. Do you have a cat? They steal the darndest things.
