I teach piano and tell the kids frequently: the secret to success is SLOW practice and ... there's no such thing as too slow. But today I had a revelation in my sewing. SLow down already! I tend to Zippity Doo Dah through things and .. then have to SLOWLY rip. So today - as I sewed rick rack on an appliqued block and appliqued on those blocks I FINALLY learned that it goes so much better when I sew slowly. Sigh. Such an easy lesson - why am I such a slow learner?
