I hate it when I figure out that I messed up AFTER I pressed. Ripping stitching that has been pressed is irritating and I do it a lot.

There is a saying if you have never gone off a horse then you aren't a horseback rider. I think we could also say if you have never sewn 2 pieces together wrong then you aren't a quilter.

I just did this today!! I'm best friends with my seam ripper, but wasn't in the mood for it today. I went to the ironing board instead. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully a better one,lol!!!

I just KNEW you would all relate!! I had stitched two strips and pressed them, had pinned the next piece on the ironed strip, before I realised that I had sewn both strips (admittedly only about 15" long) & pressed them before I realised they were wrong.
All fixed now. Thanks for laughing WITH me!!!

I did a quilt-all wrong sides together-on purpose. Still goofed up and put right sides together. Sometimes you can't win!

Oh thanks, I am making a denim rag quilt with the wrong sides together!

Now I guess I will have to bring out my seam ripper just in case! :) :) :) LOL
