Yeah, that makes sense. I use a scalpel or a sharpened exacto knife to cut threads sometimes. they're wicked sharp, and you just touch the thread, and it cuts. I don't have that kind of room picking these stiches out, though.


I got one of the side seams done tonight. It took ages, because I couldn't remember the right order to do a french seam in. If I get work done tomorrow, I'll get the pocket bag put in, finish the seam, and do the other side. Pics then.
