    I hate doing something stupid but I did it. Did not measure correctly when piecing my backing and didn't find out it was short until I was 3/4 done pin basting it. ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

    I hate doing stupid stuff, too. But that doesn't seem to stop me from doing stupid stuff...

    We have all 'been there, done that'...

    I feel your pain. You'll figure out some creative solution, I am sure. :)

    Not stupid - you were experimenting. Not all experiments work. :-)
