I sometimes use my tiny Ginghers or other scissors to rip out---I use whatever is handy at the time. I'm not crazy about it. BUT I can't wait to see your new quilt.

My Gma taught me to rip seams with a razor blade, works great, you just have to pay attention.

Sorry for your trouble with your quilt - {{{{{hugs}}}}}

As ye sew so shall ye rip!! Been there done that, too.

I am an expert with the stitch ripper. Lots of practise.

Isn't that enough to make you crazy? I will admit, I've not only sewn blocks wrong, ripped it, then sewed it wrong a 2nd time! That's time to quit for a while.

Ditter,
Don't feel so bad. I have only made two quilts and each one has been torn out after sewing the top together. I am hoping the third one goes smoothly! Hang in there! Nancy |
