I sewed a long horizonal seam putting blocks together today. When I inspected it to see if all the corners were good, I found two burgandy triangles side by side. Was it the end of the world? Would anyone know but me? Maybe my oldest daughter, but it's not for her? Could I ignore it and leave it? NO! So out came the seam ripper. The whole 17" center block had to come out and be flipped. It's out now. Please don't let me put it back in the same way. I've done that with small errors. This is my largest error, what's yours?

I like you would have to rip it out. Even tho it might be only me who would see it, that is it I would rip it out. I have had to rip out a bunch and have never kept it in my mind how much it was. Just had to be done. I could not even guess. I do know, I can rip with out hurting the seam.. hehheheh Just use your ripper and cut every third or fourth stitch of the entire seam on the top side and when done turn it to the back and pull the bottom thread will come right out. Then get out the tape and put over and it will pick up all the little pieces of thread left behind.
