Well, at least you know tomorrow has to be better since it can't get any worse! :)

I feel your pain. I have never done that, but after reading you post, I have made a mental note to Never tear the backing - to use for binding.

I would have had to sit down and cry over that one.
Get some chocolate or something that will make you feel real good....at least for the moment. And as they say "this too shall pass!"
Bless you dear quilter.

Anytime.:) We all have days like your's and may need to vent, too. :)

Funny thing is we've all been there, done that, and yet we know that it will happen again. I hope tomorrow goes better for you.

I had a rotten day too. I bought fusible batting for this bag I am making. WHY I did what I did...I have no clue. I read the pattern directons wrong and ended up ruining an 18" X 32" piece of fabric AND the batting. I forgot to put the bag top on top of the batting. I ironed right on top of the batting. LOL So I cut another piece of batting...luckily I had just enough of it. And then I gave up for the day and tomorrow I will cut another piece of fabric. The one I screwed up is the underlining and then I need a piece the same size for the lining. Glad I bought extra yardage of that fabric.

Clearly mine was not quite as bad as your problem but I've been trying so hard to make this bag perfect and of course I screw it up.

Are you using straight of grain binding or bias? I don't use bias binding anymore unless I have a scallop edge. If you were using straight of grain binding and you still have the border puckers, you'll need to find out why. Do the borders have too much fabric...Am I stretching the binding too much? I usually run a row of stitching along the quilt raw edge before putting on my binding. This row of stitches let you know if everything is where it's supposed to be and you can make adjustments if necessary before binding. Tommorrow is bound to be better...right?

I will probably be using straight grain, as I have not gotten that far. I got the puckers when stitching a row along the raw edge before the binding. That's why I say the borders couldn't have been that far off, but then who knows. And ya'll are right, tomorrow has to be better :mrgreen:
