You know you're tired when ....
I'm birthing a quilt and I just sewed it all together and went to turn it inside right and realized I put the batting between the two layers ...
Time for a nap and then I'll take it all apart ... SHHEEESHHHHH

I was up late goofing around with a new sewing machine trying to get used to it.
My eyes aren't that good. I was having some difficulty putting the bobbin in place. Suddenly the whole area(hook assembly?)where the bobbin goes collapsed under my fingers and the bobbin was stuck in there at a crazy angle.
I almost cried. I thought I broke it.
Next morning I opened the retaining clips, let everything fall and reassembled and it was fixed!
I think what happened is when I was fumbling around trying to put the bobbin in I knocked a retaining clip loose.
I was just too tired to see what the problem was until the next morning.

ha ha Marion, join the club! How big is the unsewing project?
I solved a few of these tricky techniques by making small samples and have them pinned to my design wall. Things I don't use all the time like birthing a quilt which I can never remember how to layer or sometimes even what it is called.
Another one is the binding technique where the ends are sewn together. I can never remember which way to flip the ends to sew them.
I Do a lot of machine lettering on bindings and keep a sample of that too 'cause I can never remember the placement even though I do it a lot. Having the samples right there in front of me saves me so much time not having to look them up. When ever I start one of these things I always refresh my memory before I begin. I need all the help I can get.
Put on a great movie or music and sit and relax as you unsew. Call it down time and enjoy.
peace
