Beautiful quilting so so sorry, it is a pain to rip it all out, but when it is done you will be happy it looks so great.

Been there, done that! If I put a few basting pins on the edges, I am better about avoiding the folds. Your stitching is beautiful!

lol, Mad..."chapped my bacon"!...:D I agree with others, your fmq is great! Thanks for the "don't do this"...bumblers like me need all the heads up we can get!

Been there too. Twice on the same quilt. My danger area is the corners.

Cheers, K

That is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry, don't be so hard on yourself, your only human.

I've done that more times than I care to admit.

OOPS! Looks great otherwise!

I hate it when I do that - and I have, more than once!! :(

I actually did this while hand quilting, but caught it before it went too far. Leave it to me to do THAT...
