Welcome to the club! I did exactly the same thing. Thank goodness one of my quilter friends told me to remove it shortly after I purchased it. It would probably still be on there and I'd still be frustrated with it not working well.

You know, if we can't laugh at ourselves, it would be a pretty boring life we live....thanks for sharing your funny story with us...and remember, we are not laughing AT you, we are laughing WITH you...

Why don't they tell us this stuff when we buy the product? This happened to me with a rotating cutting mat. I bought it and tried it but didn't like how hard it was to rotate. One day I flipped it over and found that the center circle on the back had an adhesive little circle on it. I peeled it off and MY!! what a difference. Now I love it! It took me a few years to figure this out, so don't feel all alone in this.

I think that someone should wright a book of "I feel stupid now" stuff that we all have done when quilting. things like using a paturn backwards or leaving the paper backing on rullers. I think that we all would get a kick out of it when we are not able to be quilting on long trips.

I hate to play, "I can top that" but here goes!
Traded in my trusty old Bernina for a new, 730 a few yers ago. Also had to get a new sewing table with the hole special cut for the machine to drop down. I requested a Plexiglas insert so I could see to change the bobbin. What I got was a pretend wood insert and it had gotten scratched with pins as I sewed. After about a year I mentioned the owner of the store about not receiving the Plexiglas insert. He said that he gave it to me himself and it was the one I ordered. (Fortunately he is a good friend.) As I was leaving the store he casually asked me if I had taken the paper off the back....OMG, did I ever feel stupid... And yes, it had brown paper on the top that I had never thought about removing it because it looked like the same wood of the cabinet. Oh well, I can easily see to change the bobbin now through the clear Plexiglas insert!
