I have done that on my last 2 quilts!!! Thankfully, the second one was caught right away and didn't have to rip out more than an inch. Your photo is embedded in my mind.

I don't FMQ but I have done this. I hate when it happens. It must be so much worse when FMQ because of the long line of stitching. ugh. I feel for you.

I'm sorry this happened. I did it several times, every time I tell myself it won't ever happen again but it does

Your quilting is beautiful. I have done this before and it is so aggravating.

Yup, done that too. Now I put small safety pins around the outside edges every foot or so. It helps prevent it from happening.

I've even stitched my supreme slider to the quilt before! I only noticed because the machine sounded different to me.
