Will I ever get to the point when I don't rip out as much as I sew???? And I'm definitely not inexperienced, either!

Ha!! I think that's expecting too much! All of us have to rip!

I had that same thought today. It seemed like I was "unsewing" more today than sewing. I don't think I'm inexperienced either. It was just one of those days.

I sympathize. A lot.

I *am* inexperienced in quilting but not sewing. I had the "let's spend all day taking things out and resewing them ... eight times each" experience so badly with a project that I've just started it over as English paper piecing instead of machine piecing. It won't be perfect this way, but it'll be a whole lot closer and a whole lot more fun!

I would just be happy with not putting holes in the fabric when I rip seams out. There has to be a better way...

Get over it, and go on.. I just spent the last couple of hours with the scalpel.. It's extremely frustrating, but it is shows that you care the way it looks..
