Re: Need an idea from other Seamstresses

I think you could cit the ties if you sewed them BEFORE cutting.  I'd zigzag the area where you want to cut.  They'd have no opportunity to unravel.  I bet you could also open that seam where the ties are attached, on the inside.  I bet it's an overcast seam and you could remove the threads with a seam ripper, remove the ties, then sew it back up.

 

Don't blame you for wanting to be rid of them.  They'd drive me nuts too.


I checked the back and it is an overcast seam ...I am going to carefully take it apart at the seam like you suggest and remove them. I have a serger too....so I can overcast the seam again.....

 

I LOVE the color and fit.....but those ties will drive me nuts...LOL
