    Cuss words, my friend, cuss words. I did the same thing last weekend. Took it apart, redid it, and guess what, it was the same way as before. Then, by some miracle, a light bulb came on and next time it came together. Still don't know what I did right.

    Doesn't that just drive you nuts? I sewed garments for so many years, didn't have to even think much when cutting out, putting together ,, etc. it was automatic. Then bingo! had a hard time with the really simple things. Found out I really have to think about what I am doing now, so annoying!! I think it has something to do with age.LOL
