You're so smart! Sometimes you just have to look at it again in the morning.

Oh we do understand, we all have experiences like that.

Glad you were able to walk away...I had a terrible experience last week and just couldn't seem to get it right or walk away....finally i had to put it up and wait for the next day to work on it....it turned out well after that...so i totally understand.

I have found that trying to quilt when you are tired just doesn't work. You solved the problem exactly like I would have. A glass of wine and a good night's sleep.

I've done the same thing. Sometimes it is better to quit when you are bone-tired and get a fresh start the next morning

I put it away, had a glass of wine, and got a good night's sleep. This morning I took out the basting and started over. It is now pinned and ready to be machine quilted. It is a new day and I feel much better.
Just wanted to share this with people that understand. |
Rest is always a good plan! But I also know that when the wine starts the precision stops so I am done for the night. LOL

A good night of sleep can do wonders for you! Glad your new day has positive results! :)

Never do anything when you're tired! I've learned that the hard way....miscutting beloved fabrics, cutting myself with the rotary cutter, mismeasuring, not being as careful about 1/4" seam allowance....you name it, I've done it. Now I don't sew after supper unless I'm on a deadline and am really clear on what I'm going to do and how! (However, I am a BIG morning person, so 6AM is a fine time for me to sew! If you're a night owl, my "after supper" timing might just be your best time!)

Understand is what we do. Most of us have made all the mistake that everyone is talking about. :lol:
