Remember.. The Amish in PA quilt in an error as only God makes perfection...extra work... we just make errors naturally... YEAH for us!

alot of cultures do the same... in alot of rugs... they are required to have flaws because they feel since no1 can be perfect, nothing they make can be either :D

but i have been told some mistakes are necessary because it proves its handmade... i have ALOT of proof lol

The most important thing to remember is " This is supposed to be fun" when its not,go try something else.

Patience!!

Although those of us who are owned by cats (you know who you are!) find it peaceful to have them lounging around the sewing room, it is NOT advisable to allow them on the table while using the rotary cutter.... the tail tends to fling blood all over the material when cut...and everything else in the room before it can be caught!

don't store the basting spray next to the spray starch.

Good point. Very good point.
