I thought I was doing soooo good....Not!
 

I had a "free" day today to do practically nothing so I decided to work on my medical face masks for the children with Congenital Heart Defects. I've figured out how to make these where I can chain sew them & it's so much faster than making one at a time. Well I was making 22 this morning so I proceeded to cut them all out & then start chain piecing the first seams together. There is a front & back for each mask so that means I am actually sewing 44. I got the first seam sewn together on all of them (all 44) and the started clipping the curves when lo & behold I realized my mistake! :shock: I had sewn the wrong seams together & now I have to rip them all out. Ugh! I just wasted a whole morning due to my lack of paying attention to what I was doing. Believe me, that will never happen again. I've learned my lesson to "mark" the first seam before I make a whole bunch of these again. :(

Poor baby....I feel your pain....have done the same once or twice. Thank goodness for rippers////

Oh, dear. Hate when that happens.

As you sew, so shall you rip. Happens all too often.

OH boy! I've done that ... on my most recent quilt I added too many blocks to two of the rows ... then when I got to the last row, couldn't figure out why I ran out of blocks ... shrugged my shoulders and made more blocks ... (I was paper piecing) ... when I went to sew all of the rows together I figured out what I did when two of them were WAY too long!!!!!

And I did that just yesterday LOL

we've all done a mistake like that. you're in good company

So sorry......

I have done things like that when I try to take short cuts. I do hate to rip and do over.

I keep several rippers around. lol...

You are certainly not alone. I feel your pain. This is a case where having one of those battery powered stitch rippers is a blessing. Looks like a mini hair clipper. I have one & I think it's worth every nickel I paid, especially when I have long seams to rip out. Takes seconds instead of several minutes to rip out seams.
