Take a deep breath. Sometimes just writing to us here at the Board gets the frustration out. By now the mess is cleaned up, but the problems are never over.

One thing I have found in quilting that there is never step-by-step pattern. Since there are many variables, just like I choose from 10 different styles of quilt bindings for any one quilt, the quilter makes decisions along the way. I find when I am tired or stressed, I put away the quilting or just do some hand sewing. If not, I too have had my disasters.

Hope you had a good end to your story.
