I learned the hard way. If your machine starts sounding different, investigate. Do not just keep sewing.
I was sewing along, doing my feathers, when I heard the machine change its tone, but the stitching was fine, so I kept going. Then I felt a "bubble" under the fabric. I tried to smooth it but it wouldn't. So I looked underneath. This is what I saw! Lesson 1- investigate sooner than later. Lesson 2- keep my sewing area cleaner so I don't pick up hitchhikers! picked up a piece of binding strip on underside of quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]133848[/ATTACH] |
Oh man! That really stinks! I find that I am getting very well acquainted with my seam ripper these days.
|
ouch!!
|
I would like to offer my sympathy. You poor thing.
|
hitchhikers...that's funny!!!
been there, done that!! Never any fun |
Nope, no fun at all to pick up hitchhikers, lol!
|
Sorry!!!
|
Sorry that happened. Thank you for reminding me. A stitch in time saves nine.
|
Bummer!
|
I have something similar happen, when the backing folds over the quilt and I sew it over. Now I don't make my backing so much bigger, so I can keep track of it.
|
Skinnin time.
|
Been there, done that!! Have I learned my lesson, NOPE!!! LOL!!
|
Ouch! Things like this have happened to me too. I just got a clover seam ripper {THE best one I think} so it makes the job a bit easier when you have to rip...
|
oops!! I think a few of us have picked up a hitchhiker along the way!!!
|
Oh boy, do I hate these hitchhikers. BTW, beautiful feathers :)
|
Uh, oh. Not a good day! Sorry!
|
Been there! No fun! Oh, well. Get some chocolate to keep you company and put on a good movie. :lol: (It's time for one of the thousand versions of Christmas Carol at my house)
|
Oh No :(
Thank you for the reminders :D:D:D |
Oh no! I hate it when that happens. How frustrating.
|
WEll...I've sewn paper to the back of my quilt. Dont ask me how. Mystery to me!!!!
|
haha! I've done that ;-)
|
O no I feel for you , thanks for reminding us.
|
Oh dear....
Well it will be good practice with the ripper - LOL LOL LOL. Hugs |
That is so sad. And frustrating. Thanks for the tip though.
|
Ugh. that stinks... Sorry for the unwanted hitchhiker!
|
Darn! Sorry this happened to you. Good advice, thank you for the heads up if something sounds different.
|
