Frogging is a part of quilting...need to learn how to do it well without damaging the quilt tops. I've learned how to do this very well! :oops:

The first quilt I was quilting was for my daughter for her wedding...I had a floor lamp too close and somehow hooked the shade with one of the back handles (it was the one with the "go" button on it). I stopped quilting to check something out, the lamp was at an angle and fell over, hitting the "go" button and off my machine went, guided by the lamp falling over. :shock: I had a bit of a mess to "frog", but no one could ever tell I frogged quite a bit across the quilt.

You won't be so silly as to do that! You'll be fine...scariest part is hitting the "go" button the first time. Remember to breathe and a light touch creates the smoothest quilting, so you don't have to have a death grip on the handles! :thumbup:
