    how about when the top thread pulls out of the needle as you start to sew, and you realize that is only the 5,843rd time that has happened in your life, and WHEN are you going to remember to check that the needle is at the top of its move before you start sewing!!!

    I am now exhausted and have glanced down at the floor about 3 times wondering what I may have dropped. This topic is so very funny 'cause it's so real and many of us can identify with it. :XD:

    Or when you get your patterns laid out perfectly and your cat walks across it rumpling everything and then decides to take a nap right in the middle of it?

    How about when you are using your embroidery machine and don't notice the thread has wrapped around the wheel and you have lost a whole spool of thread you paid 7 dollars for and it takes you an hour to get it all out of the wheel and your husband keeps wanting you explain how could that happen.
