Say it with me.....

Say it with me, Quilters: The seam ripper is my friend; the seam ripper is my friend; the seam ripper is my friend....

The freakin' *&^%$ ripper is my friend!

Okay, I feel better now. Thanks.

  2. I don't know about friend, but my seam ripper is AWOL. And I'm feeling a bit panicky about it, because I know it's an all-too-necessary tool. Hope you got 'er ripped and redone and feel better now! :)

  3. Sadly, I have about 4 unpickers...and they get a LOT of use.

    Michelle I once threatened to set fire to something I was making that wasnt working out. Dramatic - yes. Did I do it - no. Did I feel better after saying it - absolutely. Did I finish the project - yes. And I still hate it.

  5. P.S. The funniest term I've heard for unpicking: frog stitching . . . rip it! rip it! rip it!

  9. Wow, Michelle, that is one fine quilt you've crafted! I am just loving it. I know what you mean about pieced borders. I've often spent more time on the borders than the top itself, but have never pieced a more beautiful border than your butterflies! Gives me good ideas! ~karen

  11. Don't know what I'd done without that "friend"! Am going to use it now; did some cross-stitching yesterday, counted wrong - and hurray - have to unpick! :))

  12. Ha! Too funny! Know just how you feel! I have been ripping seams out of my latest wing chair slipcover and find that often times, a single edge razor blade works better than my two seam rippers do...even better when my husband helps...four hands are better than two!
