That's a perfect example of how pets have a sixth sense for finding the warm spot in the middle of a project. It's never when you're just sitting around, it's always when you're elbows deep and trying to focus. They seem to treat any new object, especially one that fits them just right, as a personal gift. Makes you wonder if they do it on purpose just to watch us work around them.

Man, I used to think all that old struggle was just part of the process. Seeing how fast we can work now totally flipped my view. Makes you realize how much was just fighting the tools.

Remember how a zipper can snag or break at the worst time... a silk wrap just moves with you and never fails. It's one of those rare things that's both more comfortable and looks more put together. That switch from hardware to fabric is about trusting the design to hold itself together... which feels kinda freeing. Your professor was teaching you to rely on the material and cut, not the metal teeth. That's a lesson that goes way beyond just one dress.

Actually @the_wren, the manual for mine did have a small note about checking for blockages. It was just buried in the back with the error codes. Still a pain to find though.

Yeah, binging that show is like trying to eat a whole cake in one sitting.
