I knew I shouldn't have, but I did. I started machine quilting a quilt with cream coloured thread. Now, you have to understand, it was fine on the lighter side of the dark/light HST's. But, the problem was, my dark colour was a mottled, rusty red.
After the first row, of poseys and leaves, I didn't think it was looking very good. So, I quilted another row. Duh. Dumb move. So now I knew I didn't like it. And spent the next 4 hours picking it out. I've restitched the two rows, and a third one now with a dark beige verigated thread and it is sooooo much better. Next time, I'll listen to my inside voice, when it says "don't do that!" |
Always, always listen to the little voice in the back of your head! (Not that I don't ignore it on occasion, mind you.)

Sorry can't help you my voices fight each other and leave me more confused than before!!! :)
|
I am glad that you stopped when you did... and happy to hear you are liking it better now :D:D:D
I wish my "little voices" would scream louder sometimes right from the beginning :roll: :lol: |
I have a little voice. It usually cries out, "tooo laaate..."

oh wow - i just did the same thing = used too dark of a pink and of course kept going - thinking it would start to look better even tho it didn't look good to begin with - spent hours ripping it out and starting over with a pale yellow that was totally right for it. yep - should have listened to that "voice" in my head!

Don't you worry, I'm a professional UNSEWER, I have always been good at it but this year I had to unsew an entire queen size quilt, that's right, the ENTIRE quilt! I had quilted it at my friends house using her brand new set-up, big mistake! Railroad tracks on the whole back. So being as this took many many hours to accomplish, I feel I have earned the title of "professional" maybe even doctorate!!!

My little voice need to start talking right about now!
|
i need to have more confidence in my little voice it said 'you are too tired to do this'--did i listen noo- i just sewed the perfect 1/4 inch seam in one layer of fabric!!!!!!
