1. Telephone rings as soon as you start sewing !
2. I leave my sewing project laid out until I come back to it . Someone comes along and moves my stuff !!! Then I have to look all over for it ! GRRR !
3 Yes the dreaded running out of thread !!! Needle , bobbin and spool .
4 Ruler slide is the pits !!! Annie

These are all wonderful and brought a smile to my face.
I hate the bobbin thing and ruler moving too, those still happen to me often.
I hate when my hand quilt group has a Sunday afternoon set up and my friend gets called into work. :cry:

I made hardly any mistakes on my first quilt which of course took forever because I second-guessed EVERY BLOODY STEP. By quilt 2 I decided I was an expert.....and let the fun begin. LOL

[quote=Kara]...when I'm sewing along and realize I ran out of bobbin thread 48' ago (after I've pulled out all the pins - because you're not *supposed* to sew over pins). Sew you pull out the quilt. Repin. Wind the bobbin, and pick up where you left off.
I agree with so many of these... but This is my all time favorite I have read yet. I thought I was getting done, and had run out of bobbin so far back. And I had just patted myself on the back for getting that far with out it happening. arghhhhhhhhhhhh

I have an indicator that tells me... but if you don't pay attention... It should be a really bright neon light... :-) :-)

We used to laugh so much on our days. Now she has moved to the other side of the country and haven't seen each other for ages.

I cut on my kitchen bar, move things over to the dining room table before taking into sewing room, so it is just never one area I have to neaten up!!!
