Being retired army I was always taught to keep a rock in my left pocket to know left from right, but since retired I lost my rock and now I rip rip!!! :lol: Glenn

LOL When I do that, I turn my machine off, turn out the light, go out and shut the door. Time to do something else for awhile.

I am right & left challenged. My husband will say take a right I start to turn and he says " your other right" We laugh as I know what he means.
I have taken out and resewed exactly the same way more times then I can count. After the second time on the ssame seam I pin as soon as I remove the stitching.

One of two things... either they are lying or they are dead...
