I don't think I will sew anymore today. I don't need anymore frustration.
I have soooo many days like this....I think my problem is that I need to slow down....I seem to always be in a rush......my biggest issue is forgetting to put my presser foot down when FMQ..... I don’t know why I forget to do this so often when free motion quilting, because I never forget it when I’m just piecing... oh well eventually it will just come naturally, I hope....lol. Here’s to a better day tomorrow
