I will pick out a seam twice. The third one stays.
On the second redo I spend a little more time trying to figure out WHY the bloody thing won't go together and adjust as necessary.

I re-sew something just 3 times, after that, what it is, is what it is.

Today I sewed the table cloth under my machine to the quilt. I think it was only the first time I sewed That row!

Last night I was hand sewing my binding to a quilt and was excited cause I was finally getting to the end.
I sewed my shirt right in with the binding.

This is one of the reasons I always buy more material than I need. After 2 or 3 bad seams, that puppy is going in the trash, cut a new one.
