If it can go together backwards, it will.
After unsewing the backwards pieces, you will find a new an unique way to sew them together wrong. Thread always runs out (or breaks) at the most inopportune time If you put off cleaning your machine for "one more seam", it will chew up your bobbin thread and spit it out, half-way through that seam. |

You have the perfect quilt pattern in your mind while trying to sleep at night and can't wait for morning to come so you can draw the pattern out. However, morning comes and goes 'cause you can't remember any one of those pieces.
|
You wet your show quilt to block it, and the washing machine is full of dirt that you didn't know was there from your houseguests laundry.
|
If you go to the store for JUST ONE THING, they'll be out of it.
Plus you'll go home with at LEAST $20 worth of fabric you don't really have any need for at all but just couldn't leave without. |
When you go to the fabric shop and purchase the amount you need for a pattern, you buy what's left on the bolt. This gives you two extra yards, and, you still don't have enough. I hate when that happens!!!!!
|
The bobbin will always contain a yard less thread than you need to finish that seam, line of quilting, etc. Oh and it will likely run out at the most critical point of your work.
