In my last post I had found two mis-matched kaleidoscope corners that needed to
be ripped out and reset. No problem. I identified the two bad
corners and where they actually belonged. I pinned a different colored pin
on each corner (one red, one white) then pinned the matching color to the block
where they needed to be attached. I figured that way I wouldn't lose track
of them again. Next step: iron the seams flat to make it easier to
rip them out.
I didn't pay close attention where the pins were and managed to press the iron
directly over the pin. It promptly melted and adhered itself to the
fabric.
Seriously. Why make pinheads that melt at the cotton setting?
