One tip to give to a quilter
#51
I just finished a quilt it was a nightmare, cut the borders to small and pinned it and it kept coming undone and I got poked by the needles constantly. So make sure borders are big enough and use a good basting spray not the June Taylor
brand either. I am finally done and don't feel like sewing for awhile at least not that pattern.

If you are having problems with a block, put it down and walk away or work on something else. Then after a day, a few days,or so, go back to the block. Usually I wonder why I was having so much trouble. It works for me.
I also agree now to work on something when you are tired, it will never be good.

...was that like WITH THE SEWING MACHINE!!!!!!!! OMG! I just can't even imagine. Hope you've healed since then and there was no further damage to your finger-nerves.
Ditto, 5 stitches in index finger 5 years ago!
