What is the max # of times you sewed the SAME seam?
#21
If I go past three, I switch to something else, take a break, or stop to pee and then eat. Chocolate or a strong cup of coffee helps!
I have had more than that with a wonky tension until I corrected the problem- one time I had a small section of thread caught in a place that I didn't see the first time, and it threw my machine off until I gave it a thorough cleaning and found the culprit.

15 times.............on this little sucker!?
After PP the 16 blocks I had to remove the paper as it was too bulky and I sewed each seam between two and six times average - only one tread apart and it looked terrible.
The record was 15 times till it was perfect :lol:
I kept counting each time and it felt like hitting the jackpot when it was straigt the second time.

Yesterday I was joining sections of a 2" border. The side border was already attached so I just needed the top and bottom. I was getting tired but down to my last join. I had to rip it out 4 times before I got it. I didn't have to redo any of the other joins...grrr. The icing on the cake is that I was so excited at the prospect of getting the inner border done that I apparently forgot how to measure. I had carefully measured the middle of the quilt-not once but twice. Used the calculator to determing what needed to be trimmed off. I laid my strip down to trim and merrily trimmed it 4" too short. I haven't checked the other border strip yet. I just figured that was my sign to stop for the day.
