I hate it when: It was to hot to sew so I didn't sew for awhile and my sewing room got to be the catch all room and now I feel like sewing but don't feel like getting my sewing room cleaned up first. :shock: I have my day cut out for me.
Bring on the coffee. :shock: |
This is an excellent topic. Most of us, I'm sure, have had most of these things happen at least once. I know I'm sitting here nodding my head as I read the replies LOL.

You just finished sewing all the binding strips together and you 2 inches too short...ugh...and I have no more of that fabric left. ; ( Thirftyideastoday.com

I don't have a treadle, but I've had the bobbin, pins & needle problems...glad I'm not alone! |
I once sewed my quilt to my Mom's table cloth...thankfully the table had just been cleared for dinner. I had to unquilt 2 blocks. rofl :oops:

THANK YOU, thank you, thought i was the only one these things happen to. Love to read the blogging here. I learn so much.
|
Just love it here, I learn so much. Glad I'm not the only one with these problems.
|
My specialty is that I forget to change the 1/4 inch foot for a regular one when I want to zigzag. Broken needle, rethreading and etal. Grrrr. I wonder for my sanity sometimes!

or you've stitched it to the leg of your pants!

Mine was not too bad...have seen worse. Jenna It's not so much the needle going INTO the finger - it's getting the needle OUT of the finger - - - |
And worst of all when I have to pull out a piece of furniture to retrive that bobbin and find a lot of dust and would feel guilty if I didn't get out the vacuum. Have you ever just shoved the furniture back and said 'I'll clean it later." I have and the older I get the easier it is to not feel guilty. LOL

a moment you don't want to remember! for sure
|
I hate it when I go to pin projects in any room other than my bedroom, loose a couple pins in the process, and get scolded to the nth degree when they'd later turn up in someone's foot!
|
I had a cat that I had to hide my pincusion on. She would pick all the pins out and toss them all over the table!

If you can think fast enough - let go of the thread. Not as much will unwind, and holding onto the thread doesn't really make the bobbin roll less. |

I also hate every single one previously mentioned. Just this morn. I dropped my little screwdriver I use for changing feet. Just could not see that little bugger anywhere. Had to get on my hands & knees & move everything in sight. Still can't believe where I found it. |
Or when you get all these little pieces arranged and laid out on the table and someone turns on the ceiling fan. On high, of course!
