I so know how you feel. I was helping my dgs sew a potholder.....now hard can that be??? I ripped it out 3 times. My dgs was working on it, but it the seams were going all over.....my walking foot wasn't feeding correctly, any way....to make a long story short...I cleaned the machine....after ripping the seams out 3 times...did I mention I was going to turn the potholder, but put the batting in the middle..UGH...How can a very simple project be so hard!!!!????????
