I hereby confess to the following quilting felonies:
* I use steam. * I sew over pins. At top speed. * I hold pins in my teeth. * I put loose threads in my mouth, make a thread ball, and then spit the wad into the garbage can. |
I have been known to look at a mistake on a quilt and ask myself the following question "can I live with this?".....and guess what 9 times out of 10 I can live with it. If I can't, I'll take the seam ripper to the quilt.

I won't use synthropol, color catchers, or retayne

Is it wrong that I'm getting "naughty" quilting tips from this thread? :D
If it's not a customer quilt, I've been known to adjust the math for the rest of the quilt rather than buy more fabric to re-make strip sets that were cut too small. Or, if it was close, I'd just make the seam slightly less than 1/4". I've also appliqued over holes & thread painted over weak seams. OMG - do you think they are monitoring this thread? Are they onto me now? Help! Where can I hide? Rob<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object> |
I put pins in my mouth, and stitch over them. My room is a mess and what's really bad, is there's no door on the room. I never change my rotary blade enough, nor my sewing needle. I use old, not pointy needles at times.I've been know to applique small motifs or heardt over bo-bos. and everything everyone else has said.

What? I am supposed to try and make it perfect? OMG!!!
|
The image of you putting pins in your mouth and stitching over them has me alternately laughing hysterically and gasping thinking of the pain. lOL

Lynnnie - please - no pins in the mouth!
