I Procrastinate
I realllly need to un-pick my latest quilting (had machine issuses), my machine is now fixed. Rather than do this I have finished 4 UFO, they are now completed tops. Backing & batting already bought, so they will soon be finished quilts. Still haven't started my un-picking. LOL.

Isn't it funny how we can procrastinate about one project but feel so good about working on others in the meantime! Soon you will be faced with a different task you don't really want to do and the unpicking will seem like the lesser of two evils!

That would surely be a good thing to have happen. I promised myself to not start something else till my un-picking is done. Today I started a mile a minute quilt, I'm not even real fond of the one I already have made. LOL.

I had to frog about half a top myself - I took it outside, just as another person recommended. It took me two weekends in a row. And yes, it was my machine that goofed, but it was also my bad for not checking underneath more often.
And, like you, I have yet to reload this particular quilt on my machine - in the meantime, I've started and completed a wall-hanging and pieced another top and it is currently loaded on the frame being quilted. My "excuse" is that both the wall-hanging and the new quilt are "tests" to ensure that my machine is truly fixed before I go back to the very-densely-quilted customer quilt.
