I understand. I have been ripping out a lot today as well. I finally said enough is enough put it down and walked away. Going back to it in a little while.

You have my sympathy! Things will go better tomorrow though!!

Bless your heart. I feel your pain and frustration. At least you didn't break your seam ripper... :shock: :o

Yep been there done that!! Time to put it down for a while and regroup!!!

I have another one. Sewing along chain piecing up a storm. Bobbin thread had run out. All little pieces flutter to floor unseen to mix with each other. Pick them all up,match them together again phone rings and have to help a friend.Come home and sew them again,without the bobbin thread AGAIN. Luckily not as many went through probably because I noticed the full bobbin sitting to the left of me sigh

How about a glass of wine and a book! When I get that way, I prep the next step and go do something else. And of course I check my work before I sew when I get back! lolol

Spent Tuesday morning ripping out nearly all I had sewed together on Monday afternoon. Discovered that the diagnonal rows with directional blocks were flipped backwards and didn't even notice when I put it on the design board. While ironing another block for an experiment, because I had a little time before leaving, I glanced out of the corner of my eye over my shoulder and thought "something doesn't look right". Took me a minute to realize what I had done wrong, Turned off the lights, unplugged the iron and left for the night. That was enough for one day. That's what happens when I had laid a the quilt out in three strips and didn't DOUBLE check to be sure that I had them in the right order. Now fixed and on to the next. Very obvious when I thought about it. At least it didn't involve life and death. A seam ripper and little time fixed the problem. While putting the rows together with many points to match, I finished sewing and discovered that I had run out of bobbin!!!!! Just not my day to accomplish much. Thanks for letting us know that we all have our little moments! Enjoyed all the anecdotes.

Sometimes, I just leave the silly blocks the way I messed them up but make sure I turn the rest of the blocks in strange directions.

OH! I LOVE this one! I did it just the other day!!

I have days when I rip....but I hate to give in so I keep trying to get it right.
