Great looking feathers, so sorry for all your "unsewing". I'm also a 'been there, done that", but I managed to do it on my quilting frame, still not sure how I did it:o

Oh my, don't you hate it when that happens? You are in good company. Can't believe how many stupid mistakes I make. Have been quilting since '89, and still make lots of mistakes.

Been there, done that but TWICE. Yip, had sooooo (not) much fun ripping out an area, sewed it again, and did it wrong a second time. DUH!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful quilting. I, too have been there and done that and it is no fun at all!

OMG, so sorry you had to rip it out. I can't tell you how many times I have done that too!

I have done that a few times and knowing me, I will probably do it again. I bought a magnifier with a light that clamps to the table that has been a wonderful investment! It helps so much when picking out stitches! It gets a lot of uses in my sewing area. I got it half price at Michaels- about $20. Worth every penny.
Beautiful quilting by the way.

I just did this yesterday on a small quilt for the couch. It was the first time for me. Took me a half hour to rip out the stitch's along the edge. After all the ripping its something that I sure will watch for from now on. Looks like you got lots of company that did the same thing. One of those learning experiences that's for sure.

I have one of those magnifier lights too and just love it. It is one of the best investments that I have bought.
