…Has got to be me! LOL! Some mamas find grape skins, corn skins, or other unidentifiable and gross stuff. Not this time, this has got to be a first…
I was putting elastic in a bunch of diapers yesterday and noticed that I’d forgotten to put the doubler snap on one inner. So I worked it onto the snap press and put the snap in, easy as pie. The elastic and stitch to close the opening were completed quickly without any hitches. Then I picked the diaper up from the sewing machine, and heard something thunk against the snaps. What was that?! I felt around and there was something big and hard inside the wing. I knew it had to be a part of the snap press, but how to get it out? The diaper was done, with perfect elastic and back seam., of course. I considered several options, but ended up ripping out a small section of the back elastic and back seam, working the die out, then restitching those areas. I worked slowly and carefully and was able to match stitches so you’d never notice – unless you knew to look. What a story to tell the mama who ordered this dipe!
