The professors taught us this trick back in college, but of course I never listened...

Until the day I accidently cut through three buttonholes in a row!
It only takes one extra second, but can prevent hours of tears and frustration. Now I know.
Is there anything you know you should be doing, but usually don't? And I'm not talking housework!

Don't forget to to check out the Tip of the Week pin board

Have a great weekend!
