    Ditto on the ripping tartan shivers. Couldn't do it the first time -- in fact, my sister had to pick up the scissors and make the cut, couldn't even bring myself to that point but second time around, I gritted my teeth, made a little starter snip, and ripped that sucker like a pro.

    As the golfers say -- grip it and rip it!

    Of course, AFAIK it only works for wool. Don't try it on PV or any other tartan fabric variants.

    Looking forward to the rest of the story (as long as you don't do it Paul Harvey style LOL)

    Amen to trying to rip anything other than wool (or cotton for that matter)! I remember, as a wee laddie going with my Mother to a dry goods shop (fabric store in modern parlance), and the clerk would measure off the fabric, cut the selvedge with sicissors, then rip it to the far selvedge, and cut that. It always facinated me.

    Second: the real reason they call it blind stitching is that you go blind doing it!

    I am looking forward to future installments!

    I've tried to rip Wool/Poly fabric and it just doesn't rip well.
