I feel your pain. I used to do that regularly. Not anymore. I found a utube video with a technique to join the ends of bindings on the bias. Totally different technique from the one that I had been using and just wasn’t working for me. Sharon Schamber Perfect Binding. It’s a lengthy video, at 28 minutes, but I like her techniques.

That happened to me one day last year. I ended up saying some words a lady should not say.

I WAS joining them on the bias. Not sure if it's the same technique you are referring to, but it's putting the ends together at right angles to each other and sewing diagonally from corner to corner, then cutting off the two unneeded triangles. If you aren't careful which way you put the ends together you get a twist in one end.

All of us have ripped a perfect seam and some of us have ripped an imperfect seam, sewed it again the same way and had to rip again. It's time to take a break when you have to rip the same seam twice.

Oh, yes!! But better than finishing the quilt then finding the "wrong" one!

Do you know what’s worse than ripping out your seam? Ripping it out and then realizing it was right the first time. And then repeating that scenario again. On the same seam. Yup.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. It usually happens when I've got too much stuff going on in my mind.
|
time to lay it aside for awhile and go onto something else. then it will all fall into place,
|
How about ripping out, resewing, and still getting it wrong? Ummm yeah, I've done that :D
