I think pins are the answer. Even if I don't need to pin a patch to sew it together, I use a pin to indicate which is the side to sew. Has saved me lots of "unsewing" time. But for those that say, leave it and come back later. I'm one of those that can't rest until it is undone and redone. That would drive me crazy to walk away from it!

When I have days like this I ask myself "Am I having fun?" If the answer is No, I quit doing it and start doing something else. Quilting should be fun!

now this sounds like something I would do & do do....
when I wake up in middle of night.
now if I do go to bed at all I sew ok...what is the deal?

Don't you just hate when you do things like that?!!! Been there, done that....

Sounds like a good day to hang out with a good book or go back to bed and sew another day. I am sorry your day did not start out well, but hopefully it is better now.

GO TO BED!!! ;-) ;-) A good sleep will clear your head and you'll be fine to re-do it all!! Good luck!

Time to go back to bed and take a long nap. There's always tomorrow...............

I hate days like that. Sorry nothing went well for you but sit back, regroup. When that happens to me, I go watch a movie or get into a book to take my mind off it, then go back the next day with a new outlook.

I think there is a club for quilters like us. The ones that keep making the same mistake over again. LOL
