Looks like we've all been there. I now use painters tape to mark the wrong side of my fabric pieces and sticky notes on my machine to note the needle position used for a particular quilt: a 1/4" or scant 1/4" seam.

When I took my very first quilting class, the instructor advised us to call that nasty thing an "unsewer" because we'd feel better about having to undo what we'd spent hours doing. It worked and I am now a champion unsewer.
