Penny Poppleton:
My orange HST is the 180º the wrong way.
Penny Poppleton:
Turn the quilt over.
Penny Poppleton:
Begin unpicking from above the block.
Penny Poppleton:
Unpick from above the block on the other side.
Penny Poppleton:
Now it is halfway unpicked.
Penny Poppleton:
Unpick from 1cm inside the seam
Penny Poppleton:
3/4 unpicked!
Penny Poppleton:
Oh, turn the iron on. You'll need it.
Penny Poppleton:
Unpick the other side from 1cm in.
Penny Poppleton:
Your block is liberated!
Penny Poppleton:
See how there are only 4 seams partially unpicked on the quilt top?
Penny Poppleton:
My block is pressed but it's all hairy. Hmm.
Penny Poppleton:
Aha! A solution!
Penny Poppleton:
Much better.
Penny Poppleton:
Press the edges of the "hole".
Penny Poppleton:
Pin the block back into the hole against the edge you unpicked.
Penny Poppleton:
Stitch it up.
Penny Poppleton:
Pin the other side of the block to the other unpicked edge.
Penny Poppleton:
Stitch that side.
Penny Poppleton:
Pin back the long open edges while you press your new seams open.
Penny Poppleton:
Press your unpicked seams flat.
Penny Poppleton:
Pin them together.
Penny Poppleton:
Stitch them together!
Penny Poppleton:
Press the other side of the still-unpicked seams flat.
Penny Poppleton:
Pin & stitch the two sides together.
Penny Poppleton:
Quick pattern check...YEP!
Penny Poppleton:
Turn it back over, press all the seams open.
Penny Poppleton:
Turn it to the front and get your ironing aid!
Penny Poppleton:
Looks pretty good!
Penny Poppleton:
Fixed!
