quick. unpick.

1. No pattern, no instructions, no pins, no pressing, no measuring. Feels like base jumping.

2. I'm cutting straighter, but this is because my material is restricted to plaid.

3. All my biscuit tins are tartan.  I am becoming plaid-obsessive.

4. I have a history with plaid - there was one outfit in the 1990's composed of tight plaid waiscoat over plaid wool flares under black watch tartan skirt, bustled, under brown wool skirt. Brave. Too brave.

5. It's an unjustifiable 120km round trip to Spotlight for the Quick Unpick, but I need it NOW.

6. Wood block carving tools do not work as quick as a Quick Unpick.

We could solve this by filling the tube with cloth bags, but....

8. Plaid is the new satin, when it comes to covering coat hangers. But that's another story...
