quick tip: thread removal

i, um, "reinvestigate" things a lot, even after the final version is done, and this usually involves a lot of seam ripping and resewing.  i thought i'd share a little tip i use to quickly get rid of all the leftover threads after the seam has been ripped.

first off: rip out that seam--it's been asking for it.  then, press it flat.  then, put a piece of masking tape along where all the thread trimmings are.  make sure to press down really well--i often use a point turner to really get all the little pieces.

then, just pull the tape up!  it's not 100% but it will definitely cut your "picking out all the little fucking threads" time in half.

voila! nice and clean and ready to be re-sewn!
