At one point I had to wind a bobbin and I cut the top thread, wound the bobbin, put it in and proceeded to sew until the 6 inches of thread on the top ran out.
I was cutting a Lil Twister wreath project, had it all laid out on my cutting table. Went to move some fabric and created enough of a breeze to blow off some of the blocks and now I can't figure out how to get it back the right way.
I tried cutting some strips for a very simple swap block I was working on, and for some reason turned my ruler around and cut them 3" instead of 3.5".
I decided it was time to stop with the quilty projects and sit back with my knitting. So I am knitting on a sock that I have been working on for a while and totally forgot to do one part of the pattern and didn't figure it out until I was four rows past that point.
Sat down here to read the list for a while and look at pretty pictures, and promptly spilled my tea all over the computer desk.
I was thinking of reading but I will probably get a lethal paper cut.....
Oh gosh--you're a good writer. I'm sitting here cracking up because in the past week I have made more errors than ever, and I feel so stupid. One example (just to make you feel better), I sewed some hanging tabs on a wall hanging on the wrong side--no they couldn't go on any side, this project was of horse heads. Looked pretty goofy sideways. So, I cut them off and make more. I sewed three on each of the other two wall hangings, but on one, one tab was sewn on sideways--so the bottom wasn't the fold, and on the other TWO were sewn on sideways.
And there was the backs that folded up so got quilted in with the quilting. Heeellllo seam ripper.
These are but a brief sample, but do you feel any better?
If there is a place to goof, I'll goof. Makes me want to charge double for some stuff. :lol:
