The time I knew it was time to quit for the day was when I picked up my mini-iron by the wrong end - ouch!

The "timer" method works for me, too - I set it for about 30-45 minutes at a time.

My quilting triangle (cut-sew-press) is at three different heights, and spread out so that I can't just scoot around in my chair. I believe that just a little physical exercise can keep the brain sharper!

Time to take a break when I look up and can't see what I am looking at in the other room! My eyes stay focused on up close and take forever to "return to normal", if no break than a killer headache is in the making :?

The timer trick sounds good. I should try that. I get going on a project and get tunnel vision.

I thought my sewing machine was broken because the fabric wasn't moving. It took me a few minutes before noticing that I had pinned the fabric to my sweatshirt! I think it's time for a break.

It's been a really bad day. :cry:

I know I'm done when I am ripping out more than sewing. That's my time to take a break.

OH!! Do I ever know how you feel. Was making a blouse once and put the wrong sleeve in backwards 3 times. Never finished that blouse!!
