I thougth it was just me.
I hate the 1/4 seams, I use 1/2 on everything I create myself,,, If I use a pattern my seams are so bad, and I rip out so much.
walking feet are not all created equal, I lost the one on my Brother, and the Singer or Elna will not feet it. I purchased one from Joann's, and it will not fit. I am going to put the machine in the car and go shopping.
My mother taught me never, never get rid of your scraps. So after 20 years of saving them; I cut all my scraps into different size blocks and made a scrappy quilt with them. Some pieces I pieced together to make bigger blocks, then trashed the small left overs. Now I look at that quilt and think about the dresses for my daughter, the shirts, and jams I made for my sons when they were all little.
Oh, rookie errors, I still do them, I just don't get as ticked any more.
