| I am making a dress, and was trying to finish up the neck and armhole facings last night. I was tired but thought, I'm just tacking the facings on what can happen? Well snipping off a thread I managed to make a cut in the dress about 1/4 inch long. It is in the underarm so it won't be noticiable, but I want to ensure the cut does not tear open further. I was thinking of using a small circle of iron on interfacing underneath to try and seal it. Do you think this will work? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

| The interfacing should work fine. I keep a roll of Stitch Wizardry on hand for just this kind of slip-up. We all do it....:o( |

| I have done exactly that just iron it on. If it were me though, I'd secure it with a few very small careful stitches as well... |

| Thanks teresa. I just feel silly because I knew I was tired and should have stopped. Are you in NC? I'm in Asheville. Johanna |

| Hi Johanna, I'm in Burlington - smack between the Triad (Greensboro/High Point/Winston Salem) and the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill). Took a family trip up to Asheville, Canton, Waynesville, and the area just a few weeks ago. It was lovely as always! My grown son #1 said he would love to rent a cabin for a month and "work from home." But he needs internet service and that is difficult to find in vacation rentals. |

| Thanks Ruth and Teresa. I tried the stich witchery trick and it worked just fine. It was not at all noticiable after the patch. Teresa - Glad you had a good time in the mountains with your family. One of the joys of living here is not having to go far for a fabulous view! Johanna |
