Isn't this a GREAT bunch of folks that we have on this board. I love the positive spin everyone ALWAYS has on what might be considered a mistake or stupidity or ???? Mammabird, you don't need a stupid stick because every PERCEIVED mistake is a learning tool for our future. Enjoy your project and at the time (in the future) when you use up your strips that were a "mistake" , you'll have fond memories of the old project; the anxiety you had and how glad you are that this happened because now the current project is being completed more quickly using the "mistakes" that are all cut and ready to be sewn,. :wink:
