    I hate it when: It was to hot to sew so I didn't sew for awhile and my sewing room got to be the catch all room and now I feel like sewing but don't feel like getting my sewing room cleaned up first. :shock: I have my day cut out for me.
    Bring on the coffee. :shock:

    This is an excellent topic. Most of us, I'm sure, have had most of these things happen at least once. I know I'm sitting here nodding my head as I read the replies LOL.

    Or - you are completely on a roll sewing on the binding and you get to a seam and realise that the next piece has SOMEHOW been sewn on wrong sides together!!!

    "thread barf?" That's hysterical!

    I don't have a treadle, but I've had the bobbin, pins & needle problems...glad I'm not alone!
