You all are making me laugh (in a good way) and I feel a whole lot better knowing that I am not the only one who does these things!

Don't feel too bad.....or at least don't feel alone! While quilting fabric recently for mug rugs, I discovered I had sewed the little scrap I use as a "starter" to the back.

Yesterday I meticulously sewed several rows of my quilt top together, perfectly matching and nesting seam allowances... only to find out I had run out of bobbin thread about two inches into the first seam! HATE that. I wish sewing machines would just stop running when there's no bobbin thread. |
I also am a member of the "Wrong Side Sewing Club" (aka: "We Are Not Alone"). Glad to know there are so many wonderful people in our club!!

Been there, done that. This week I have been making 2 dresses for my DGD and sometimes I've taken 2 steps forward and 5 back, but one is finished and the other is nearly finished, although I think I will go back to quilting for a bit - zippers are not my friend. LOL.

It doesn't make sense to me that machine manufacturers haven't figured a way to install a warning when this happens, particularly on the new computerized jobs.

I got my quilt back from the quilters and found out that two rectangle pieces were back side showing... too late to do anything about it.... was such a pretty quilt too... can't make out why I didn't see them as I had the quilt on my bed to admire it(before quilting) and also on the floor when measuring out for the borders....

I have a whole quilt that got sewed together wrong in terms of layout and I just left it alone. It's unique!
|
Ughhh...I think we have all done it at one time or another. My handy dandy seam ripper gets a good workout.
One piece I didn't even notice until I was freemotion quilting it and it is still in there. If it was that hard for me to notice it, than the person that got that quilt will never know the difference. |
I understand! Last year, I planned to make monogrammed 'hoodies' for my grand son and his girlfriend. Good thing that I decided to practice on one of mine! Did the whole floral embellished initial upside down!
Last week, I was sewing 3 3/8" squares of patriotic fabric left from QOV together for hst blocks. Did a pile, chain pieced. Cut them in half. Started pressing, only to realize that I had sewn 3 squares together instead of 2. Not once, but two times! |
