Now you can hate me. Juju
I'm not gonna yell, but there's one thing you didn't consider. Although yes, it's annoying at times, it can be helpful.

On forums with a lot of very active members it's easy for a post with no replies to get pushed down to the bottom of the page or even to the 2nd page really quick and it may get overlooked. So when someone posts on it (even if they don;t know the answer), it gets bumped to the top of the page where it's more easily seen. Just something to ponder. ;)

not a hate but found a solution to ruler moves
Take a no slip draw liner sheet (at $ store for $1 or lowes for $5) and either lay below the cut line then put ruler on top or spray adhesive a strip to the bottom of your ruler and kiss ruler slip good bye.

I hate it when the thread breaks,you re do it and it breaks again,I don't know if it is the kind of thread or the needle or what.But I somties act like a little kid and just grit my teeths and scream..NOt real loud but kind of through my teeth..

That is why I loved my Janome 9000 it never did that and just sews so smooth and quite. I will be glad when I get it fixed. Wating for the ship to come in..

Just one more then I will stop, I promise.
I hate it when I am machine quilting and I take the quilt out and find out that the material on the back of the quilt edges has folded and I have sewn it to the back of the quilt. Then I have to rip it out and do it over, what a bummer. Grrrr!!!!! :thumbdown:

I hate it when I order an expensive quilt kit and then discover when it arrives that it's made up of the sleazy fabric I could have gotten at Joann's . Dang ! :(

I hate it when the iron, with its auto-off feature, shuts off and is cold when I need to press seams. It's on my list to replace asap.

I found another solution at a local fabric store. It was a package of small adhesive dots made out of fine sandpaper made specifically to attach to the bottom side of rulers to keep them from slipping. I placed them in the corners of the rulers about 1/2 inch from the edge and one in the middle. Works beautifully.

.....I'm putting the binding on and have come all the way around to join the two tails together and either:

1) mark it, but forget to unfold it before cutting and now the two ends don't meet and I have to sew another piece on to make it reach......OR

2) mark it and cut it correctly, but sew it together with a full twist in it!

Don't even ask me how often I have done both of these! I hate it when I am such a SLOW LEARNER!
