Or when you make a mistake, unsew it, and then proceed to make the same mistake again. Argh!!!

I am laughing and crying at the same time! I've done all these things many, many times! But sewing something wrong, ripping it out and sewing it wrong again! I can't count the number of times I've done that! Try making 8 cheerleading uniforms with 18 tricolor pleats!
What a job that was. In fact, I spent all the money I made on my first Pfaff, a 1471!

Bahahaha! This is hilarious - and most of this stuff happens to me all the time.

Stitch and B**** made me laugh my butt off...

bearisgrey - yep just about have it figured out when that phone rings and then when you can get back to it, you've forgotten what you figured.

My Viking has a low bobbin alarm, it stops and won't let me sew any more until I change it.

This always happens to me. I wish they would put an alarm in the machine to let you know.

I sewed a whole line of 9 patch rows just like that. I had sewn some of them wrong, but it was okay it was only practice apparently. :lol: :roll:

you get all set up and ready for some free time to sew, you just get sat down and start sewing and your dh calls you? or the doorbell rings

I have discovered the best way to take care of bird's nest's is a pair of barber shears. They nicely clip the threads without tearing a whole in the cloth.

By the way, I've done all of the above. Love this thread...
