Been there, done that. LOL Geesh, did I feel like a dummy. Could have been worse and I don't even want to think about that.

LOL yes that is definitely true. There has been way too many nights to count where I have just kept sewing only to spend the next day taking out all of the stitches I messed up the night before hehe

The bobbin thing is what usually gets me, too. After I say a word or two, I fill my bobbin and start over. Then I look over my sholder to make sure no one saw me!!

Used to happen to me too but my new machine beeps at me and won't sew if the thread is out. Sure is a lifesaver!

I believe everyone here has done something like that. Usually its when you have had a tough time getting that one seam just right and suddenly ah.. finally its going smoothly only to remove your fabric and find) your out of thread. For me its bobbin thread every single time. and here I have removed pins as I was smartly sewing and feeling all so grand about my good job too. ARGH!
