yep, done both.

at least without thread you don't have to unsew.

Yeah, but you have to repin! (experienced in no bobbin thread)

I probably would have turned it into a rag quilt and claimed that I planned it that way! And of course, stick to the story. lol

I'm with the been there, done that crowd. Sometimes I was tired. But sometimes, I had no excuse. Lapse of attention. LOL!

DH and I had a little plaque with a pic of a sheepish-looking pup with the caption:

Did that yesterday! GRRRRRRRRRRRR.....

Then sewed a LONG string of pieces with no bobbin thread,
and then sewed the right side to the wrong side on several pieces.
Finally gave up and took a nap as my brain was obviously FRIED!
