    i pop the loop through by using a needle with a larger eye, insert the needle into the fabric with the eye sticking out, thread the loop through the eye with a needle threader and finish pulling the needle through. Same result as yours but a shorter step.

    Gee, this seems like such a logical solution that I wonder why I have not been doing this all along. Thanks for the tute and all the great photos. Hope I remember this when I need it!

    I do something very similar, but your version might work even better. Thanks for sharing. No worries about duplicating knowledge, because there's always someone who hasn't tumbled to what you want to share.

    I'm glad I read this thread last week!! As I was working on a quilt for a friends wedding, I found a loop in a part I did a couple days ago. I fixed it using this method -- I had been using one of the "easy thread" needles.

    This is much easier --
    Thanks -- Mim

    Fantastic! Thank you. That's so much easier than unpicking and starting over - just to have it happen again.
