Unsewing
 

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.

When I do that it means it is time to either go to bed or take a nap.

Exactly! I once put the two ends of binding (on a completed quilt) together wrong five times before I got it right. I kept getting a twist in one end or the other. Good grief.

I have to laugh. I did that just yesterday! and this is when I feel too confident when there are too many similar blocks and then, at the end of the row, there is a change in the pattern... what a waste of time loll.

Yes, been there and done that. Several times I have stopped working on a project because it was time to do something else or I was just tired. When I came back to it I have thought I made a mistake and took it out-ripped it out or unsewed it- only to find it had been correct. Therefore, I have learned to look more carefully before starting to take something apart.

been there, done that

Oh yeah, me too:)

"As you sew, so shall you rip."

I hate it when that happens - especially to me, lol!

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.
