	Rarity was up most of the night making a saddle. To make it perfect she had to master a very complex stitch. The pony she was making it for was coming over that afternoon. Rarity had been reading sewing books all morning. 
"Oh what ever shall I do?!" she said dramatically.
Sweetie Belle took one look at her sister and dashed away.
Rarity tried to perfect the stitch. It seemed so simple! 
"How can I not get this!" Rarity said. 
Just then a knock came at the door. A unicorn named Bluebell trotted in. 
"Hey, Rarity!" she said distractedly. She was reading a book about reversing dark magic.
"Hello Bluebell..." she draped a piece of cloth over the unfinished creation. 
"I still don't understand why I have to get a new saddle. I'm not even going anywhere anytime soon!" Bluebell said.
Rarity rolled her eyes "I design clothes for anypony and everypony whether they are going anywhere or not."
"Okay." Bluebell said.
Rarity put the sewing book down.
"So where is the saddle? I figure if you are going to make me one I might as well like it." Bluebell said.
"Oh.. ummm about that." Rarity squirmed.
"Mhm" Bluebell said worriedly.
"Well... I... um.. can't master the stitch... the main stitch."
"Huh?"
"Well I can't master the stitch. It looked so easy when I planned it on paper but it's not."
Bluebell uncovered the ponyquien with her magic. She examined the unfinished saddle. "Hmmm" she thought for a second. "Rarity let me see something in that book you were reading."
Rarity used her magic to levitate the book to Bluebell.
She read for a bit. Then she started to sew by hoof following the directions. "Ah ha!" she said.
Rarity trotted up to her. "H- h- how did you do that?!" Rarity frowned thinking.
"It was easy... All you have to do is use your hooves."
Rarity looked confused.
"You see, you were in the chapter 'Stitches Accomplished By Hoof' You were using your magic."
Rarity opened her mouth to say something but no sound came out.
Bluebell continued"I could tell because of these stitches." she pointed to the incorrect stitches.
"Mhm" Rarity said listening.
"When you use your magic to do this stitch you end up with the opposite of what you want, which is why you do it by hoof." 		 
Rarity nodded, amazed. "Bluebell you have a lot of... KNOWLEDGE." Rarity started hoof sewing and finally got thye stitch right. "Thank you Bluebell!" Rarity said happily.
"All you had to do was read," Bluebell said "but you're welcome."
Before long the saddle was almost  complete. Rarity added a few gems to it. She put the saddle on Bluebell. It was green like her mane. The gems were blue like her body. 
"It's perfect!" Bluebell said "Thanks so much Rarity!" she gave Rarity a few coins.
"You're very welcome Bluebell." she replied. "Farewell" she said as Bluebell trotted away wearing her new saddle.
