sewing machine
Christa trimmed rows of patterned paper
tags and used them in whole strips across
the top, left and bottom, right photos.
The idea of taking an almost-finished page and machine-sewing
on it strikes fear in the hearts of many scrapbookers. From sewing
crooked lines to jammed up bobbins, the blooper factor is quite
high, but you muster the courage and lay needle to paper. Your
sewing machine comes to a grinding halt and, in your valiant
attempt to unjam it, you’ve managed to tear open a hole where a
stitch once existed. What to do?

Christa has a few tips: “The fastest fix is to cover it up with an
embellishment, like I did. But you can also trim a strip of paper to
cover the former stitching line, then re-sew over the same area
again. Journaling tags are another great way to cover up mistakes
and give you a chance to write out your journaling before attaching
the tag to the page.”
