When quilting in the corner of a top, remember to TRIPLE check to see that the back is out where it's supposed to be NOT tucked under so you need to UNDO all the stitching to get it out. :shock:

Sigh... all these lessons just confirm why I like making tops WAY more than quilting. :x

Been there, done that. Repeatedly.

Oh!!!! I feel your pain!!! I too have fallen victim to this :( :( :(

Thanks for the info.

I've been there and done that. I hate to unsew!

I thought I was the ONLY one that did this, hehe. When did 'ripping out' become politically uncorrect and 'unsew' came in?

Did this one too!

Been there, done that as well. You're not alone. :)

That's a big ooops!

And when the turned under corner is all secured with stippling......

I think all of us have sewn like a frog rippit.....LOL

me too, i am the same, would rather cut,piece and then put it all together..then i just sort of fold it and put it in a pile for quilting at a later date. :roll:

I'm with you there! MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer the tops. You must be pretty darn good though if it takes to 2780 to learn that.

Oh I have done that. Glad I was home alone so I could vent.

I've done that too.

I dont think there is a lesson number of what NOT to do , that I dont do REPEATEDLY lol. Sharing your pain.

Margie

While quilting the"quilts for kids"the other day, I did that same thing...not once...but twice!!!I'm glad I wasn't doing a stippling stitch!!!I guess it can always be worse.

Ditter

Just know you are not alone :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you. I feel better.

Were you hand quilting or machine? Not that it matters. Ripping is ripping. I've had to rip while on the long arm without taking it off the frames. Hope I don't have to do it again.

Boy howdy... I've done that a few times too!

Machine--very tight stitches so the paper would rip easily afterwards. :roll:

I'm almost done quilting baby top #2. One more to go, but since I'm keeping that one, it can wait. Or, maybe I should finish it now while I'm practiced up. The new tops ideas are calling so loudly!

I did not realize that was lesson # 2781---my manual stops at lesson # 2468. I guess that is why I have repeatedly made this mistake myself. :)

I feel your pain, Karla. And it always happens when we think everything is going so well.

That is so true! Everything was going well. But, as is my usual fashion, I was sewing between doing wash loads, answering emails, and taking water to horses... I need to focus. :roll:

Been there, done that, more times than I can count. I soooo much prefer piecing to quilting....except when the quilting is going really well....which is when I find a glitch and have to unsew!!!!!!!

I must be at the EXACT same spot in the darn lesson book! I did that same thing yesterday! GRRRRRR!!!!

so..it looks like you have plenty of company with this one. :lol:

Well try doing it twice in the same place!!!! Quilting and :D how nice, done. Look at the back :shock: it is flipped over and quilted to back :x . Rip out,make sure it is where it suppose to be :) Start quilting again, :D Get it done :-D . There I did it again how :?: I have no idea :XD: Rip out very,very carefully :evil: MAKE SURE it is in place and smooth plus putting a pin in. :thumbup: Got it! :-D This was free motion quilting. :lol: :lol: BillsBonBon

Is there a list of the other 2780 so we can read up??
BTDT!!

I'm so glad I'm not alone in doing this.

Not to change the subject, but ... is it just me or ... do you all "get your wrists slapped" every time you think how wonderful and smoothly things are going and/or how very clever you are? It happens to me every time I get too smug. I'm like the watchdog on a long chain who gets to running very fast and suddenly runs out of chain and gets flung in the mud on its butt. There's a lesson to be learned there somewhere.

Ditto!!! Once I didn't see the booboo until I had the whole thing trimmed and the binding sewed on....uggghhh!!!

Oh Karla! I feel your angst! LOL I finished a laptop this week for my SIL 50th birthday. It is the FIRST quilt that I didn't have to undo some quilting because of that!

Well, I must say, we certainly are plum full of perseverance. Quilters never give up! Go quilters! :lol:

As you all can see by my "name", I am famous for doing that, more than once, and too many other oopsies to even keep track off

Me too, been there done that and it is so frustraiting!!

I think this is where the saying "pride goeth before the fall" comes from!

Did this last night. LOL

Need I explain that my 2nd favorite sewing tool is my handy dandy seam ripper....#1 of course is the machine...

I just did that yesterday. What a pain. And I thought I was almost done. Boo Hoo
