If one your quilting gloves goes missing while FMQing...
...don't say "oh, I'll find it in a minute" and continue stitching or you may end up with an unwelcome surprise...

Thankfully I was able to remove the glove from the back of my quilt without damaging either the quilt or the glove - so LUCKY!

that's a good one for sure! It also isn't good to keep stitching when the machine sounds different. I stitch a pattern sheet to the back of a quilt once. I sacrificed the pattern sheet because I wasn't about to remove the stippling.

Interesting about paying attention when the machine sounds different. For this project I am using the clear nylon thread in both top and bottom to stitch around the big red pansies in each block. What a pain! but the effect is great - it makes the flowers pop. I've noticed, however, that sometimes the bobbin thread doesn't "catch" the top thread to make the stitch, but picks up again in a stitch or two. I can hear when this happens so I go back a couple of stitches to lock it in and then continue. Weird. I've also broken five needles in two days when stitching too fast. I have to go super slow and it's tedious. Glad there are only twelve blocks of flowers.
Thanks quiltaddict for the laugh. I needed that.
