I made a black and white quilt top a year ago that I wasn't real crazy about so it got shoved into the closet. Yesterday I pulled it out and decided to finish it. I sandwiched it and started to machine quilt it still not liking it a lot.
Today I spent almost 3 hours removing all the machine quilting and then started over. Sewed on it all afternoon and then at about 10pm decided to finish up some of the SID and then would work on the "fancy" stuff tomorrow. Sewed about 8 inches and was repositioning the darn thing, my foot hit the pedal and I sewed right through my fingernail!! Thank goodness the needle broke or I'd still be there attached to that #$#@ quilt!!
After I got my finger to quit bleeding and cleaned the quilt and sewing machine (it's amazing how much a finger bleeds!!) I've had it with this one!!
Question: what do I do about the hole in the middle of my fingernail?? The nail didn't split-it's a perfect needle hole.
Sorry--just had to whine to someone.
