I think chain-peicing wrong sides together is a prerequisite! After 4 years of quilting & more years than I care to admit sewing, I STILL do it!? Just part of the game! :roll: :lol:

My daughter-in-laws mother has a quilt I made for her years ago, displays it in her livingroom. This summer I visited her and she thanked me again for the beautiful quilt. That was the first time I noticed that one side of the binding is on backwards. She was going on about how her friends all love it! I didn't say anything about the binding......let sleeping bindings lay.... :oops:

I have been there and done that. TGIF for seam rippers.

This is the point that I would be saying words a lady should not say. Yes, this has happened to me too. Find something on television and get the grim ripper.

I like your thinking - both of you!

I think this should be a weekly award, like a Quilty or something. For the winner!!!! :lol:

Sometimes it seems that I spend more time ripping than sewing. You would think that I enjoy it or something. :roll:

I think this is one of the best threads.........of what not to do. Makes me feel good to know others make the same mistakes I make.

NO ---dumb is showing beginner quilters how to quick turn and when all stitched, the batting was on the outside and back was inside.
EGG all over my face. Saved it with a THIS is how NOT to do it Laugh still with this group.
Gotta love quilters, we are surely angels covered in threads.

Apparently we all have our own quilting horror stories. My binding experience was that I sewed the raw edges to the raw edges of the quilt but I had to fold to the front to hand sew the binding. I couldn't believe that I had that. Didn't look too bad. :shock:
