Yes, but it was my sister. She was working in a small area. and the tape measure was laying under her material, being new to sewing she couldn't feel the tape and cut through it, and cut a little more and cut through it again. She said, " look what I just did, I cut the dang thing not once but twice". I'm sitting there laughing at her, and said, " that's because you didn't cut it right the first time." It took her a second for it to sink in and we both had a good laugh. She grabbed the pieces and threw them down the table. Well, she kept cutting out her material and soon came across a thicker piece of "material", she said, "man, that had a little bump in it. lol Yes, it was the tape measure again. I never let her forget it either. lol Oh yeah, I later went to the store and bought her a metal yard stick. She doesn't sew anymore. Syl
