I feel your pain. It's seems whatever I sew, I'm ripping at least half off it out. I'm still working on cutting accurately, and getting my 1/4" seam allowance right. I get frustrated too,but I figure I can't get any worse, lol. Hopefully I will be able to rival the beautiful work shown here. Don't give up. Try to have fun, and don't let mistakes get you down. I won't if you won't. (((Hugs))) Gina
