Wow, I believe I am guilty of ALL of the above :o

ripping the seams out, without using the seam ripper. Sometimes the opposite seams come undone, so I have to resew them. I know its a bad habit, but its faster. I also wait too long to change a rotary blade. Probably wait too long before changing the needle too.

I'm guilty of almost all of the above. But I have to add another. I got a new, fancy machine with a button to push to move needle up and down and I still rotate the wheel by hand. Have to remind myself not to touch anything but buttons.

this would go a lot faster if you asked me my good habits. i don't have any. i was a home ec teacher and always claimed professional exemption from the rules.

I keep starting new projects even though I stopped counting at 29 ufo's I am sure there are more but I will have to contemplate on that :^) |
Pins in the mouth, starting new projects before others are finished, having to buy every new gadget that comes down the pike (my lqs loves me!) untidy library (stash)

Also-
And most embarrassing- I've been sewing since I was at school and I'm yet to learn that if I want the machine to stop I have to take my foot off the pedal. Yelling 'stop' doesn't work :o (Lucky I don't drive a car like that!) :) |

I must admit I have not changed my rotary blade either. Quilting instructor tells that you need to change the blade after each quilt, I find that a little much. Also my biggest habit I need to stop is, I cut my pieces out for either a sewing or quilting project and will leave it next to the machine for a week or two maybe a little longer I have to change this habit.

OMG,I have not admitted to anyone I have that many,also.You gave me courage to fess up.So many quilts,so little time.And,I am thinking about starting another one...............But,I will finish that one..........NOT!
