Being tested....

I mentioned before that I am pretty much a 

self-taught quilter.

My mom began teaching me to sew when I was 8 years old

and since, I have made many, many garments, window treatments,

flags, quilts, etc.

Since I have taken very few classes over the years,

I am excited when I read or hear about a tip to make sewing easier.

Today I read a little tip on-line about ripping out seams.

The tip was to rip every 3rd or 4th stitch and then

pull the bottom thread right out.

I have always ripped each stitch.

WELL...

Here I am ... sewing the rows of the 

Christmas Tree Skirt

and....

You guessed it!

I had to rip out an entire row.
Then it was two more seams!
I have not had a sewing day like this in a
LONG TIME!

  

SO...

I tried my new tip

and

IT WAS SO MUCH FASTER!!

(This is why I don't pray for patience!  I don't want to be tested! :D)
