[quote=DogHouseMom]apparently my answer is 7.

But wait! There's more!!!

1) It's a 2" seam!!!
2) It's paper piecing!!!!!

Same 7 tries for me, also paper piecing AND a 2" seam to boot. Pitiful, but not alone, apparently - thanks for keeping me company ...

3 times, then I start with another piece. After 3 times, the fabric is stretched and worthless. Scrap pile!

Three times -- unless I don't have enough fabric to recut (then I am a bit more patient). If I have to re-do, I normally heavily starch and straighten so the pieces will (hopefully) cooperate.

Oh me! I don't know. Sometimes I have to remind myself that "done is better than perfect" and move on. It's hard though!
