HOW TO OPEN A SEWN RICE SACK

Often times I have struggled to open a sewn rice bag.  I used to sit down patiently and cut each and every stitch. That's when my mother-in-law told me that there is a technique to open it with ease. After a number of trials , I figured it out.
TECHNIQUE

• This is the front of the bag. There are 2 (sometimes 1 ) smooth line of stitches.
  

• On the back of the bag , there are 2 loop stitches, corresponding to the smooth stitches in the front.
  

• Cut the hanging strings at end of the bag , using a  pair of scissors. Now there will be 2 ends for one stitch.

• Time to remove the stitches with ease!!!. You should be facing the smooth stitches of the bag(The front side).
• After cutting the ends of the stitches , there will two ends.  Now is the trial.
• If you pull one end , the stitch will get tied up with the other side(tighten the stitch), which is not right.
• You have to get a hold of the right end. If you pull the right  end , the stitch will come off easily in one go.
  
  
  
  

NOTES

• When you are trying out the two optional ends , don't pull too tight , because if you are pulling the wrong ends , the stitch will become very tight and makes it difficult to loosen it.
