Been there, done that - last night, in fact! And I was HAND-SEWING!!! How can you do that when you're hand-sewing? dum dum de dum dum - DUMB DUMB!!! (Me, not you! :-D )

Oh, this so sounds like the day I had yesterday. Today WILL BE BETTER for both of us! :shock:

It's frustrating to have to rip out what you've worked hard on, I know, but you'll be glad you did, and DIL will never know! :) Breathe deeply and oxygenate your lungs!

I love calling that reverse stitching. Doesn't sound so harsh.

I keep my ripper handy also but surely don't enjoy having to use it either.

I feel your pain. Yes, it is a small thing. You'll have a great table runner! Meg

It's always the little things that cause us the most troubles. Taking a break always makes things look like no big deal.

Oh gosh I do feel for you - small thing or not.
Have just had to make use of "Jack the Ripper" 3 times successively after putting the blocks of my sons quilt in the wrong place, wrong order and finally all in right but was 1& 1/2" out so huge ripple. Couldn't understand why until I suddenly discovered that I had inadvertently put on an extra sash. Dam! Oh well as you say, in the grand scheme of things it is "small stuff" :oops: |
