    In my household we call it a senior moment. Sorry for the extra work but maybe a cuppa and a little chocolate will help and maybe a good movie while you unstitch. LOL

    I have a design element change in just about all my quilts. It's not a mistake, I meant for it to be that way.

    Just be glad it is fixable! I don't blame you, I would "redesign" too!

    I agree with others - I'd try to re-think my design to avoid ripping out stitches. That's not a chore I enjoy at all!

    I agree buy more strips, 100% agree

    Sorry to hear you've had problems. It's such a hassle to have to rip out stitches.
