sewed them wrong all afternoon
have you ever spent a half a day sewing together your blocks wrong? I'm so mad at my self, I could spit.
this was a quilt kit had gotten like 10 years ago, so startd it yesterday. cut all the strips for a queen quilt, then spent half of today sewing the all wrong. guess I'll spend all day tomorrow taking them apart. |
I did that on Saturday so Sunday I have to RIP!!! I had an excuse:::: The lamp burned out.......
|
Bummer! I like to use my little curved blade snips to snip the thread every few stitches instead of a seam ripper. The thread on the other side usually pulls right out and I find the pieces stay nicer. Take the blocks all apart and press the pieces and wait for the next day to start again, SIGH!
|
HATE when this happens! Sorry for you. happy ripping.
|
Sorry to hear you do the same thing as me sometimes. I hate that ripping. I don't know why the instructions are not written at the beginning with the finished size. The quilt I am doing says block size 7 1/2 and then when you look at the pic it shows cut to 8 it's so frustrating so I really understand how you feel. Just know it's a seam ripper club. Sue

The first of the week I started a Fun and Done quilt. My singer doesn't have much in way of decorative stitches and I used sort of a cross hatch stitch. I did 6 of them and decided I didn't like it so today I ripped all of that stitching out. Wasn't easy. Finished it up a little bit ago and just used a straight stitch...like it much better. I feel your pain....for sure!!!
|
I have done that many times too! It is a downside of chain piecing!!
|
Been there done that! I feel your pain. Such a waste of time, but it happens.
|
I feel your pain! There are times when I feel I'm MUCH more adept with my seam ripper than I am with my swing machine...
|
I have to do some ripping on every quilt I make. I hate it too.
