No I was taught to never use anything sharp to open anything that could be cut and damaged by a cut. I will say, there are times whenI almost think about it and stop myself.

Glad you have a nice attitude about it and not letting it ruin your day :)
Just a thought, have you thought of complaining to the company on how the item was packaged? They may compensate you someway and at the very least change their packaging ways. |

Well put, LTeachergeorge! :thumbup: If it's a little hole, just a little appliqued something will do the trick. It's not a mistake, it's an opportunity! |
I got a bolt of Kona that had a couple of holes in the middle. we just problem solved around them. Kind of like what I just had to do. I ran out of fabric and only had a couple of smaller pieces to finish cutting out. so I took a few scraps I found in the trash and pieced enough to cut out what I needed. a few extra seams will never be noticed and it made me feel good to fix it so cheaply and easily.
|
Well, I haven't had that exact experience, but it certainly sounds like something I would do!
I have made pieced backings on a couple of quilts and really like the "look" of it. Good luck! |
Done it! Not on fabric but other things.

You're looking at it in the best way possible. It's like getting lost I never say I got lost just that I had an adventure!! LOL
|
I haven't done that particular thing, but have done others just as bad. Life goes on.
|
I am so sorry.
I have not had a package in a while, but when I do get something I will be extra careful. GOD bless. |
