    Ditto on the bobbin running out.

    I hate taking the time to triple read the directions, pin in JUST the right place, and it doesn't at all turn out like it's supposed to.


    I cut wrong too.....I HATE that!

    Boy, I have to limit it to one? Maybe one at a time. Except nothing original here.

    Doing a block wrong is not a good thing.

    I've been known to be in the middle of something, get interupted for some reason then it is a while before I get back to it and can't find the pieces.

    I get a block together & decide I don't like one of the fabric choices.

    I'll stop for now.

    Lately I've had a bad time fabric shopping for specific projects. I'll have in mind what I want colorwise, etc. Then I find the perfect fabric, it's the end of the bolt and I'm 1/4 to 1/2 yard short! Maddening!

    AND

    I have fabric that I don't think I will use for a project so I use it to make a practice/sample block then later decide it would be just perfect for ....whatever and now I don't have enough.

    Anything to do with the bobbin messing up annoys the heck out of me!! I can't decide which is worse, bobbin throw-up or running out when you only have a few inches to go.... :(
