I wanna see that block come out like it comes out for me then explain why it turned out that way and how to fix it!

That's why I like watching The Quilt Show - because when they goof it up occasionally(even if it is staged),it helps to relax everyone. I also like the way Ricky Tims says to get a piece of material "about this big"...and it doesn't matter what size it is.

I don't care about others mistakes. I want to see what it looks like when it's perfect. We all know that nobody is perfect, and I see enough mistakes right in front of my eyes in my own home. It's no lesson to watch someone make mistakes and then say don't let this happen to you.

I heard one time that they don't re-film the episodes because it is too expensive. The only time that happened on Alex Anderson's show on HGTV was when a guest said the word "crap". They apparently were not too happy with her! If you notice, even if they say the block is perfect, they rarely ever show a close up of it so who would really know?!

This is a good idea. Might be workable if the show is a guild sponsored show. Quilters could bring in a block that came out a little wonky or...you know. It could be up to the demo person to ask if anyone has a "problem" block. Guilds could also do this at their meetings.

That would be a show to watch.
My DH says the same thing about the wood working shows. They never have a mishap or have to recut a piece.
Sometimes knowing the setup to do it right is what I'm needing to know. It isn't the sewing a 1/4 seam.
Although some shows go into too many details with the computerized machines and stitches and feet. If you don't own one of those machines, it is boring.
I love to have MIM teach workshops and know how to fix the common mishaps. :)
