I do it the same way Joyce does it. Work to loosen the threads as you go
and you won't be pushing the ripper and suddenly find out it has cut the
fabric. You can practice this by just taking two pieces of scrap material
and running a line of stitches and practice taking them out. You will soon
get the feel for the process.
