Oh my gosh!! I'm making my first log cabin and had the pieces in the wrong places. So today I was ripping and ripping wondering what is wrong with me, and my math calculations that I have to rip all the time. I am so glad to know other people have the same problems.

I've never made anything that didn't get the ripper treatment. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have to "un-sew" something!!

My record isn't really good. I am always un-sewing. I am really good at it though so that is good.

I don't fear ripping. In fact sometimes it's quite calming. Just sitting and ripping!!!!!!!!!!! It's like knitting----------Even after 50+ years of knitting, I don't ever expect to not rip out something.

Think we all have days that we do nothing but rip. It really is sad when you make the same mistake one and maybe even the second time - that is so frustrating.
