Sorry that happened but I think we've all done that. Bet you'll be doubly careful from now on. Consider it a learning experience.
Guess what I did one time - I was making a tailored blazer with very expensive fabric (Christmas gift for mom) and was setting in one of the sleeves which can be hard to do without getting puckers, gathers or folds in the sleeve. Well, I did it perfectly and was so proud - until I realized I had sewn in the sleeve with the wrong side out. Thank goodness I had not yet trimmed the seam. I had to rip it out and start over. Fortunately, the first stitching didn't show and everything turned out OK. Let me tell you - I have NEVER done that again! Hard lesson learned! |
I'm sorry. You must be so frustrated but don't give up. It happens to me all of the time.

I pinned about 100 pairs of strips together last night to be sewn tonight. I proceed to sew one set of strips together, and I have pinned them backwards ALL OF THEM. Instead of pinning them front to front, I pinned them back to back. Now I get to repeat the step I made last night, only the right way. *sigh* needed to vent!

Be glad you didn't SEW them together that way - just think of all the RIPPING you'd have to do. Now doesn't the prospect of changing pins seem less daunting.
I am speaking from experience - in case you wondered. Hang in there! |
Oh, I so feel your pain. I once pinned and sewed 48 half square triangles, only to discover that I did it wrong and had to rip them all apart! Good luck and glad you hadn't sewed them all together yet!
|
So sorry, well, at least you found it before you sewed it. Have fun sewing during your break though.

Patience...always patience! The most valuable trait in quilting and being willing to do it over. I don't mind ripping out if I know that it will improve the looks of my quilt.
|
Oh, my...that is so aggravating. I once got a binding sewn on and the thing was all lumpy. 66 inches to rip out. I know how you feel.
Do this.......put in a movie and do it while you watch the show. Doesn't feel so bad that way. |
I did that with a binding one time. SEWED the whole thing on backwards! I still can't believe I did that. I VERY careful now when putting things together!
