Bless you heart Ditter, so sorry you and The Ripper have to join hands again. Makes for a very disgusting time when you think you are about through. Thinking about you and your extra work. Gerbie

Time to take a break before I put Jack the ripper to work.I have to take out every seam and start over. You can be sure I will make sure I am using the right row for my guidelines this time!!! :|
