I was pinning on the scraps for my Crazy Quilt to the batting using the thin, flat headed pins! OK, they lay real straight and flat…one flat head was almost the same color as the material. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Now can you guess what I DID!!??!! :!: :?: :!:

Yep……… bet you guessed right!!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
I sewed right THRU the tip top of the flat pin head! Now you all try to beat that one if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :D :lol:

Ditto!!! I'm sweating it right now. Hope I have enough. It will be really close.

1. An applique I have fused in place becomes undone around the edges.

2. I run out of bobbin thread at a critical moment.

3. I can't find something in my messy, stuffed quilt room that I just know
I bought a while back and have to purchase a duplicate...only to find
the original item later!!!

All of the above.
When my machine decides to act up when I only have a few inchs to go.
I bought an expensive table for my machine and find when quilting the edge catchs the quilt. Had to buy a regular sewing machine table instead.
Even more expensive.
Bought notions that just were not as advertized.

This morning I unsewed something only to realize I had done it right in the first place so I had to resew what I just unsewed.

All of these "I hates" are so freakin great!! Most of what you all have gone through, I haven't yet, because I'm only on my first quilt and not even a 1/4 of the way through the blocks for the top. Uhgg...I guess I have ALOT to look forward to!!



I hate it when I'm cutting my fabric and my back starts to hurt sooo bad. I wish my dining room table was just a bit higher!! I can't cut sitting, I have to stand, and when I'm bent over, my body is at a 90 degree angle! Lol.
