Sorry about your problem but I sneezed so hard one time that I put 2 disks out in my back.........now that was worth crying about. I had so much pain I knew immediately that I had done something really bad. Who would have thought that you could do that from a sneeze. At least you can rip yours out (not that it will be easy) but at least there is a rather simple solution. Hopefully, no one will be the wiser after you fix it.

I would say that calls for a laugh all the way and maybe a kick in the "you know what" to make up for the ripping part ;-)

Tartan,rulers are great! lines are impossible for me without them..our Joann store carries them (Thick,Dretz)and I also have another tool that has a curve and some straight edges, I really like to FMQ my own designs in nice curvers...Sitka rose and leafs and vines, leaves and grapes.. still working on feather fills..etc. I don't know how I would do them on a reg. sewing machine! Every things seems backwards to me on a reg.machine

I agree. I can't imagine even trying this. For straight lines I use the walking foot with the quilting guide.

On the subject of sneezing husbands. I was reading in bed with the cat on my tummy a few days ago when my DH sneezed, which sent Pogo 3 feet in the air, launching off my tummy, of course!

Just start ripping. In the grand scheme of things, it is no big deal. Things like this used to bother me until my DH was diagnosed with cancer. Amazing how this changes your perspective.

I can't FMQ a straight line to save my life. I would laugh and start with the seam ripper

I live alone. When I sneeze 3 dogs and a cat come running. Works better than calling them in.

I always use blue painter's tape for a guide. You will be amazed at how striaght you can quilt with it. Just quilt next to it, not through it.

Laugh, maybe give him a quick seam ripper lesson. Lol
