Ripping out.
It happens.
It's not pretty.
This is my quick method.
1. Choose your tool.
Mine is a small.sharp. pair of scissors.
;)
2. Go along the seam and cut the thread every 1/2" or so.
3. Grasp near the seam tightly!
4. Pull apart in ONE FAST Firm motion!!!!
Voila!
Rip is complete!!!
5. Move on to happier things...

I use small embroidery scissors also, but will try your method. Love your tropical lifesavers quilt.
ReplyDeleteI really really love this pattern, Beth. :) That's the same ripping method I use. :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that method yet but I certainly rip a lot of stitches. I'm going to try that next time!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing except I snip one side and pull the thread on the opposite side. Works the same. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYes, this way works great! My husband actually came up with the idea, when I was muttering with the seam ripper. So nice to have a helper! :) I try to avoid ripping at all costs, but inevitably it does happen.
ReplyDeleteI do hate that un-sewing step in projects!!!
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of this when I'm sewing, nice to know I'm not the only one. I love that quilt pattern, it looks wonderful in those pretty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a really pretty quilt! I do a lot of my seams like that too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. Unfortunately, me and my seam rippers are close : (
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt.
