I think we all have one of those days now and again.

I feel your pain! I was working on a 9 patch today and had all kinds of problems. It was so bad that I was thinking about giving my 1.5" stamps away. If I can't line up a 9 patch, how will I ever do 1.5" stamps.

I feel your pain too. I think this happens to all of us from time to time. I'm looking forward to seeing it when you finish. Good luck with it.

It happens to all of us sometimes, I think. I almost always have to lay out the pieces, take a picture of them the way I intend to sew them and then have that picture up on my laptop screen near the sewing machine so that I can keep track. As others mentioned, I have to put a pin in the seam I intend to sew before I carry the pieces to the machine, and I have to sew them in a ritual order. Sometimes I mess up in spite of all this. My short term memory is shot, and I have no attention span. I've been like this at least since my late 20's, which is, shall we say, a lot of years of practice in trying to avoid unintended sewing results. Tomorrow will surely be better for you!
