today, not at all.
Saturday morning at 5, a couple times to many. |
I only "unsew" and re-sew the same piece a max. of 3 times. After that it's usually too stretched to ever be right again so I re-cut and start fresh.
|
8 for me!
|
I'm not going to answer this question cause I'm totally embarrassed. Being the stubborn person that I am I was determined to get it right, even ended up making a new block completely!

4 times, it was the middle of a pinwheel!!!

Some of my boo boo's were "sewed not quite on the line" and some were other kinds of errors. Paper piecing being new to me, I sometimes put the piece down the wrong side up, I sometimes sewed along the wrong line, and I sometimes did it RIGHT but THOUGHT it was wrong. So I wasn't always sewing in the same line on either the paper or the fabric. And yes I'll post a pic when it is done. |
There would'nt be enough chocoloate in the house for me to calm down, after I would have done it seven times.
3 times it's my limit! :oops: |
Didn't even count!!! I was beginning to put together my "Warm Wishes" when I discovered my 1/4" foot isn't a true 1/4" foot! Aggghhhh!!! Finally solved the problem by taking advice from friends here and moving my needle a "tad" to the right! I did not know I could adjust the needle position using the stitch width button one tiny click at a time! Works perfect now!
|
My rule is to only re sew a seam three times, if it isn't perfect by then, I go on.
