My deepest sympathies! I think I have you beat, however. My dumbest mistake was chain piecing 24 seams WRONG SIDES together. I have no idea what I was thinking...or doing for that matter! :roll: :lol:

The first binding I ever did was in a chat class here on the board...I did the same thing as you...ripped it all off and then turned around and did it a second time :lol: :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops: :lol:
I decided right then and there to let it sit over night as "punishment" and maybe it would play nicer the next day...and when I wasn't so tired :wink: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Chele for the offer, but I'm finally finished ripping. What I have learned in the past is to do bigger stitches on the bindings. THANK GOD, it made the ripping easy, peasy. I will have this done tonight, and will proudly post a pic of it tomorrow. Guess what else I learned tonight. If I move the lamp that was in front of me to behind me, now I can see the light. Yah just got to laugh about this stuff. Hey I also talked to my friend the seamstress tonight to share my stupidness. She said last week she finished a dress and had the bottom inside out from the top. Now that's funny.

A big THANKS to you guys for making me feel better. Time to maybe call it a day before I do that again. I'll sew in the morning with better light. Goodnight :wink:

I haven't done that yet but I'm sure my day will come. If I had a dollar for every time I sewed the wrong sides together I think I'd be a millionaire.

Hahahahah, oh dear...

Been there, done that.

Remedy: glass of wine and good romantic movie. Put the quilt down and go back the next day!

Of course, there's the time you sew the seams together wrong, rip and sew them wrong again, only to find out if you had turned the project around the seam would have been right. Or you could get the backing just right, set it aside. Then you need a piece of the left over backing fabric for another project. As you are ripping of the "hunk" you need, you realize you are ripping you correctly sized backing. Done it all :wink:

Hey, forget the movie -- add more wine :D :D :lol:

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who makes this kind of mistake. My poor seam ripper always seems to get a workout. You have my sympathies. I've been there.
