I feel like I've run a marathon today. I was sewing on my treadle and I thought, "boy this fabric is tough going today. Then my bobbin thread ran out and I went to fill a bobbin. DUH, I had been sewing with the little rubber wheel engaged for filling the bobbin. Anyone else ever done this?

Yep, been there, done that. Felt kinda silly when I found it.

Yes, I have done that, but will never admit it in public!

LOL, Yes, I've done it too. I looked around to see if my husband was watching. It does make you feel stupid.

I've driven my car with my emergency brake on and wondered why it was so sluggish.
