As I was (again) ripping out some stitches I began to wonder.....Has anyone ever made a complete quilt without ripping something out? I have reached a point that when I sit down to work, the first thing I pull out of the drawer is my seam ripper. I am a fairly new quilter (but have sewed since very young) so I know I will get better. Maybe..Just wondered...........

seems that no matter what I'm sewing, I'm ripping something out. Yes, I'm OCD about it... I want it right.. But please don't send the quilt police just yet! 'cause my points just aren't there yet!

Always ripping!!!

Same here! My ripper is almost a part of my hand by the time I finish a top!

I had a Guild day today and ripped three of four times but ended up with three good blocks (new pattern to me).

Oh yes!!! I have just put a border on three times!!! Started to think that I had 'lost' it!!!

I can't believe that sometimes I rip out a seam just to sew it back the same way, so I have to rip it again. ARGHHHHH! I'm like you .... my goal is to someday quilt with ripping out .... maybe.

i've managed one or two without unsewing... not a good record since i've made so very many quilts

I've added to my collection of rippers so many times its embarrassing. Sometimes I get my stiletto and ripper mixed up - that's interesting!
