If you could put another couple pleats in, then they could become a "design feature".

I had a small pleat on the last one I did it was small but about 12 inches. The backing was grey so I pressed the pleat down and sewed it with grey thread and no one will ever know. I hope!

It happened to me last Friday--I spent most of Saturday picking the stitches out. It makes you more careful next time (for a while!)
|
Such a bummer...I’m sorry about all the ripping you had to do. Think of the bright side, you’ll get really darn good at doing feathers.
|
That's when you realize that you do know a foreign language.
|
I take heart in the fact that you folks who are really talented with machine quilting find yourself having to rip stitches from time to time. Gives me hope and I feel your pain.
|
Been there done that! Between that and my perfectionist tendencies ( Not that my work is perfect), I think I've done more "unquilting" than quilting!
|
That is absolutely heartbreaking! One positive thing will come from this. You will be so vigilant that this problem won't happen again. And, your feathers are absolutely gorgeous. Such a shame to have to do it over. Another good thing, is that you already have a wonderful pattern established and can just follow the needle holes. As quilters we know the pain of ripping, although it is such a normal process for me, that I just do it and don't worry about it any more.

Oh no-so sorry to see your dilemma. I have been there so I really feel for you but like you said---no place to go! Enjoy your baking show. Stay healthy and safe
