There are not enough laughing smilies to adequately show how funny that was. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

wildcard451 0 #54 November 6, 2008 QuoteWe had a student a few weeks ago that cut away because this thing came sliding down her lines. She cuts away, and SHIT! It happens again, damn piece of fabric caught in the lines and sliding down towards her hands. Good thing she didn't have a hook knife. Ah yes....The dreaded slider down malfunction.

I saw one where the student didn't mind that the slider came down, but when she couldn't get it to go back up, even after pumping the brakes, that's when things got scary and she cut away.
