    Talking Shouldn't sew late at night because...

    Can you add to this list?
    • Only needed 5 rows to complete the quilt. Now have 6.
    • Too many matchy colors close together.
    • Printed the same pattern twice.
    • Sewed the block wrong...2 times.

    Cut the pieces wrong.

    Forgot to turn the iron off.

    Had just enough fabric. Now I don't.

    Worked so hard to get the top finished. Woke up to see one block wrong--in the middle.

    Finished the last lot of chain piecing to find I ran out of bobbin thread waaaaay back there!

    hmmm...I've done all those things, and I can't use "late at night" as an excuse.

    Lol. I can't either. I've done them when I wasn't tired!

    Rips out part of the block sewn backward and sew it backwards again.

    Things seem so complicated when I'm tired, easy peasy when refreshed in the morning.

    I try to not leave any mistakes late at night, I take them apart and then they are ready to work on the next morning. I find if I work too late, I either mess it up or hurt myself.

    Sometimes it's better for me if I leave bad enough alone for the time being when I'm really tired or out of sorts.

    Deal with it when I am better able to cope with whatever - - -

    I work nights, most of my quilting is done at night. However, I have done all of the above. I just can’t blame it on working at night.
