Also, when I was using only size 20 I would use thinner thread as the magic bit but I don't have anything smaller than the size 40.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831541091438041806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960248197149105589.post-68552349044379545312010-03-10T22:48:36.715+00:002010-03-10T22:48:36.715+00:00I usually try to open up the offending ring but if...I usually try to open up the offending ring but if I can't then I start again. Cutting is an option I guess but I'd do almost anything to avoid more ends, including retatting the item.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831541091438041806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960248197149105589.post-68497971611715688252010-03-10T22:48:24.250+00:002010-03-10T22:48:24.250+00:00I love the colors of the heart and the shape of it...I love the colors of the heart and the shape of it - sorry the last bit ruined it. I sew in the ends because I'm too chicken to try the magic thread technique.<br /><br />The edging is LOVELY - looks just like spring flowers!<br /><br />:) Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960248197149105589.post-86270271968733469792010-03-10T19:11:40.490+00:002010-03-10T19:11:40.490+00:00I usually start again because I either can't f...I usually start again because I either can't figure out how to make the repair, or I can't get the ring open. Or I cut the threads before realizing I didn't join the last bit correctly.
