Sure wish I could say I had never done that!


BUT...............I cant!!!!!

Purplepassion is right, I have sewn them wrong and believe me ripping is harder than pinning.

My granddaughter bought a summer dress where the zipper is sewn on the outside of the dress. At first I thought it was a mistake, but the whole rack was that way----clerk said it's a new style to attract the young teenagers. Perhaps you can make a new trend.

You certainly are not alone my quilting friend!!!

oh that is so fustrating, I have done that more than once I am sure

i agree with the rest- be glad you caught it before you sewed. my luck -i would've sewn a bunch before i realized it. just a comment-who told you the rail fence is a complex design? i think it is a very good beginner quilt. i would never call it a complex design,

Probably a dumb question, but why do you pin the strips all together? If I think I really need to pin them, I just put one straight pin at the beginning of the strip and one at the end. Do you chain sew the strips?

i have done that before and have sewn them together...well don't know what i was thinking..in a hurry i think. sew a little, rip alot...we all make mistakes just keep on sewing... :thumbup:

We call it "playing frog" you know....ripit...ripit...ripit.

Oh that hurts. Take a deep breath or many deep breaths.

Cute :thumbup: Love it!

Sorry you made this mistake, glad you caught it before you sewed them.

I hate it when I do that so I don't pin. I sew one piece at a time. that way if I screw up, I know it right away.

Been there done that but had sewn them all together before I noticed the blocks weren't fitting right.
Unpinning is a lot easier than ripping out. But just as annoying.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

I was finishing my last BOM and putting them in the proper order by lOoking at the ill. And realized that I pieced the star wrong. Had to taKe it apart and redo it. At least I noticed it before the blocks were all sewn together. Had one that I didn't notice the mistake until after it was completed for about a year!

murphys law strikes again!!! Bless your heart,I would have sewn them together before I noticed they were backwards!!!!!

I was working on double sawtooth star sections and sewed
5 of them together backwards before I realized it. I chain pieced them with my Singer 201 treadle.
I had to frog stitch(rip it rip it) and try again.

Take a deep breath, relax and kick back with the frog. :-) I am so sorry. God bless. Penny

I know this is no consolation, but at least you noticed after sewing one set - it could have been all of them! Have you ever considered doing them all backwards and call it "your inside out" quilt?

You can let your furbabies tell on you. They look real bright and ready to talk
