Wouldn't live be boring without our little quirks? Smile, ladies. Perfection is boring.

I had just done that myself this past week, not only once or twice but 4 times! I have told my husband that I bet my finger prints are permanently impressed in the handle of the seam ripper! He has heard me fussin my my sewing room and will come into the hallway and ask if I am ok. lol

You've heard of practicing the same thing over and over and developing muscle memory? Well my theory is that the fabric has its own form of memory, and if it wants to go together one particular way (wrong though it may be) it will do so over and over.
