[MR] Re: *WH* need help with FUR

[Becky McEllistrem]

Duchess Caterina has worked with fur before.  I'll ask
her if she has pointers.  One thing she mentioned to
me was don't use scissors to cut the fur.

She used a seam ripper to cut it (it was a thin rabbit
fur) and had a lot less hair coming loose off the
pieces.

I'll see what else she suggests.
