[Nfb-krafters-korner] sewing

[Susan Roe]

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.
