So, I was so excited, I finally got everything I needed to embroider on a wash cloth. I got everything hooped, picked a fairly simple design, and away we went. it turned out soo nice... until. I took the hoop off the machine, and turned it over. I forgot one step... to make sure the edges of the wash cloth were clear of the back! Chauk that one up to experience! I kept it with my embroidery stuff so I will never forget that step again!

been there done that need a mt.dew lol
|
Been there done that too!!
|
OOPS :roll:
|
Me too!!!!!
|
You will only make that mistake once!!
|
I don't embroider but I can't tell you how many times I have done that with piecing! LOL
|
I am sure I would have done the same thing...at least once!
Maybe even twice...so you are a head of the game! |
Oops! I am learning too right now. So many little mistakes to make!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Ruh-Roh!
|
Oh yes, I've done the same thing! lol
|
Yah gotta laugh at yourself! Been there done that! I have a little basket of mistakes I refer to every now and then. Course it is tucked away so no one else can see them.
|
I was embroidering a onesie, and relized in time, that I had the back in the hoop also. Would have been awful hard to get it on.
|
I have never done it with embroidery but I have when FMQ on my machine. Sigh. It's so frustrating.
|
I don't embroider but I have been putting binding on a quilt and low and behold all of a sudden it felt like that binding was thicker then the rest and sure enough I turned it over and part of it had folded over without me knowing...now that was a pain in the butt, because it was on black fabric...with black thread. I got it ripped out though and that was the first date that Jack (ripper) and I ever had and since then weve had thousands of dates...wonder if he's ever going to marry me. LOLOL
|
I embroidered a shirt sleeve on to a shirt front. Caught it pretty early, spent some time with a ripper.
|
I usually just laugh about it and start a do-over. Like I always say about myself---why do it the easy way when you can do it the hard way?????????? LOL Seems like we've all done it.
|
I am so happy that I am not alone! On the plus side, it helped me with the placement of the embroidery on the do-over!
I have never thought of naming my seam ripper... I think mine would be named "Oh, dang it" or "Crap" Maybe if I had a name for it, I would be happy when I needed it. |

Oopsie !
|
OMG, I think we have all done that a time or two. Tehe, ask me how I know!!!
|
Oh boy, been there and done that. Also have done that when I was machine quilting on my sewing machine.
|
Done it to an infants oncee and a childs t-shirt/
|
If you sew or quilt, you will catch something and sew it down that doesn't need sewing down. Been there, done That!
|
Funny :lol:
|
Funny :lol: I'm refering to PegD's almost boo-boo.
I think saving all the boo-boos to remember and refer to is a really good idea. Wish I had done this - except the pile of boo-boos would be overwhelming in my case :oops: :lol: |
sounds familiar
|
ewwwwww been there done that!!!!!
|
The mistakes are the real teaching experiences...ones we are least likely to repeat.
|
Whoever said you will only make that mistake once doesn't know ME!!!!
|
I did that with a hand towel for a gift one time when I was first learning the ways of machine embroidery.
I was able take part of the folded over apart and use it for my self,LOL |
I've done that and while the embroidery machine is chugging along, a piece of the fabric would sometimes mysteriously creep over the embroidery area and become part of the design - plucked apart more designs than I want to admit.
|
My first embroidery job on a hand towel was done sideways. Not such an impressive job. LOL
|
As a teacher, my favorite saying has always been, "Mistakes Help Us Learn".
|
Been there, done that!!
|
You're not alone!
|
I don't embroider but I've made similar mistakes sewing before. If we never made mistakes how would be improve our crafts.
|
A lesson to remember.
|
We've all made mistakes. Me? that's where I'm a millionaire!!
