Debby on Sep 03, 2014Where the snags are you can see that it has tightened the thread on both sides of the snag. If you were to take a pin or a fine crochet hook and pull the threads back on both sides the snag would disappear.Helpful Reply

Yolanda Geddie on Sep 03, 2014I would take a LARGE eyed embroidery needle, insert it near the snag and out about the 3/4 length of the needle away, then thread the need with the snag ~ pull it through and the snag winds up buried on the inside of the fabric never to be seen again.

Wendell Cochran on Nov 08, 2016Start by training your cat to NOT scratch the furniture. Provide the animal with his or her own scratching post and a chunk of real wood such as a length of fire wood. Then, fill a spray bottle with water and a teaspoon of ammonia. Every time the cat heads for one of its favorite piece of furniture, squirt em with the water. Cats hate water! And the ammonia has a bad smell to cats. Soon, just picking up the spray bottle and shaking it in the cats direction will deter the cat from going near any piece of furniture. The water/ammonia mix won't hurt the cat and won't stain the furniture or upholstery; When it dries the ammonia smell is gone. I've trained a slew of cat babies during the course of my life and have never had to repair or replace a single piece of furniture, door jam, or dry wall. I place the scratching post and the wood log in one special location in the house, out of the way and where it partially hidden, where I show the new cat where to claw by rubbing its front claws up and down the scratching post and down the length of the log. The cat's scent from glands on the paws marks the territory as being his or her territory. If the cat persists on going back to an area you don't want it to claw, spay the area lightly with diluted ammonia to neutralize the cats scent marks, and, hopefully, remind the cat how horrible it is to be sprayed with ammonia water. Yuck. Cats are quick learners; stay off the bed, don't climb the book case, don't spray the table legs, get off the kitchen counter, etc. A spray bottle is your best friend, along with verbal commands, is humane but effective for training. A good cat is an obedient cat. Shake that bottle, baby!Helpful Reply
