In the quilting group I belong to, we decided that we don't rip seams.....we "restitch". LOL!

I know what you mean. Yesterday I am stipple quilting down the edge of the quilt for my uncle when I noticed the edge of the fabric underneath had caught under the sewing. I had to unpick 24inches then start again. I had hoped to finish it for Thursday --not possible now!!
