witha'K'quilting Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 In my case when I mention 'Frogger' however...I am talking about my Green Millennium. I love frogs and geckos...so Frogger stuck for the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltlover03 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 frogging is what gives you sore fingers when you work on it past mindnight on a batik quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam.Nagle Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I use a combination to frog. Ask me why. I'm lazy and I hate to bend over. So, what I do is use Clover's Blunt Tailor's Awl (about $10) and the Large white handled Clover seam ripper. I use the tailor's awl to lift the threads and then the seam ripper to cut. I wish I could do a little video. First, I hold the top thread taunt with my left hand, pulling up and and use the tailor's awl to pull the bottom thread up and out. Make sense? I can rip pretty fast this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Pam, I do the same method. At first I was just pulling that bobbin thread up with the awl, but it gets frayed after a while and gets tangled so you have to cut it once in a while. Just ripping/cutting the thread--yes, it goes pretty fast. Do you have equipment to do a video? or just take two or three pictures of the process. We'll get the idea.
