Been there done that last night. Spent the whole day cutting and marking for hand piecing. Settled down on the couch to watch TV and hand piece. First row in my 5 inch finished Ohio Star went great. Second row had to rip and resew, patch backwards. Third row had to rip again, star point facing the wrong direction. Went to piece all three into a block and thats when things went very wrong and I went to bed. Going to try again today!

Time to quit when I am tired and need to use my rotary cutter. No cutting when tired!

Yes, we have all been there. I know that last week I was busy doing some machine quilting and kept having little things happen like thread breaking, a needle break, a knot on the bottom thread, sewing crooked. I just put it all away, I was tired and the errors were gaining the advantage. I got home and looked at my quilt and I am now picking out all of the diagonal quilting that I had completed. It just detracted from the pattern. Does heavenly intervention include knots in my bottom thread? Could be! :)

Time to walk away grasshopper and do something else .. Clear the mind and the quilting will come back to you , then you will be one with the machine ...LOL
|
my quit time is when the instructions which were on the sewing table got caught under the quilt and then sewn to the back! Had to tear them off back and try to figureout which piece went where. It was like trying to piece a jig saw puzzle with no picture to follow.

Been there, done that so many times I've lost count. Usually when things start going wrong I walk away or start another project and if that doesn't work, well, I leave the room and do something else. We've all been there at one time or another.
|
Some days I have to do the same. If it doesn't work in my head, it's not going to work on the machine. I feel for you
|
It's hard to get yourself to quit...but everytime I do, everything falls into place the next session....can be very frustration!!!
|
Oh, I hate when that happens to me. And I know then it's time to quit!!
