Rethink! You can't mess up fabric. It's made to be cut and sewn back together. This means if you are making a quilt or garment, and you miscut (my word for measuring incorrectly and cutting) you just drop the miscut into the scrap basket. Problem solved. I've run out of fabric because of miscuts, but some of those were on purpose......my husband hates it when I'm upset, so as soon as I get upset for miscutting something, he says let's go to the store. Just love that man!
