1. Make sure you own a seem riper.... you will make mistakes! Trying to loosen a stitch with a straight pin and cut with scissors is a pain in the rear!

(I still have yet to remember to buy one, but hopefully by the time I start the bed skirt, I will have remembered to go to hobby lobby and get one!)
