Having spent ages drawing several intricate shapes for your appliqué masterpiece, you iron them on to the right side of the fabric.

If you insist that the sewing order of the rows be a certain way and you make sure to line up the rows in order, Murphy makes sure that somewhere the rows will get out of order and you will not notice it until you are done.

As you're handing a quilted gift to someone, you notice a HUGE, GLARING mistake right in the middle of it that you didn't even see till that very instant (yes, it's happened to me... I handquilted it & still didn't even notice I had a block turned around)!
You're in a hurry to finish a gift. You go to clip a spare thread & you cut a hole in the quilt top (yes, I've done that one, too. Luckily it was a flower quilt so I just appliqued a butterfly over the hole, but still...). Sometimes I think my last name is "Murphy"!!! |

This isn't murphy but it's similiar-the power goes out and you decide that since nothing is working you might as well go sew for awhile until you remember that your machine needs electricity also.

Working with white on white fabric never saw that I had one of the borders sewn on the wrong side, not when I sewed it on, pressed it, pinned the three layers together, quilted it by crosshatching until I was sewing the binding on by the machine on the front side.

As you sew, so shall you rip.
The seam that you NEED to take out is the one with the tightest stitching. |
