    I was fmq while Oprah had Barbra and Redford on. Needless to say, my attention to my quilting was not at its fullest. My freehand quilting design is directional and I made it upside-down! Rippit, rippit, rippit. But, thanks to a great tip on this QB, I remembered that it is easier to unsew from the back side. So I rolled the quilt back so the backside of the quilting was on top of the roll... rippit, rippit. It was soooo much easier that way. Thanks QB!
