I have done that just the other day and I have been quilting for a long time - but something happened and I was just so discouraged too... but it will get better I call my quilt the albatross quilt - the pattern in the book gave you instructions to put the row with the flying geese going one way and when I went to sew the rows together the geese in the example for the whole quilt were flying the other way. I went and put it together anyway thought I would use it for myself in the living room - ran out backing 3/4 of the way through and then I must of hit the tension and it was all loopie on the back side.... I took it out - practiced again looked good - put the quilt back on an low and behold it was loopie on the back again.... So, I feel your pain and fustration but it happens to everyone....
