If you put off cleaning your machine for "one more seam", it will chew up your bobbin thread and spit it out, half-way through that seam.

You have the perfect quilt pattern in your mind while trying to sleep at night and can't wait for morning to come so you can draw the pattern out. However, morning comes and goes 'cause you can't remember any one of those pieces.

When you go to the fabric shop and purchase the amount you need for a pattern, you buy what's left on the bolt. This gives you two extra yards, and, you still don't have enough. I hate when that happens!!!!!
