I love all of these commandments, and I believe we went well over 10, and there are many more out there, I'm sure. Thou shall not read these to thy spouse, who will reply "what does that mean" or "who would do that?"
Broke a needle yesterday because I didn't change the pressser foot. Have ruined several irons with fusible webbing. Thanks for my morning laugh.

Thou shalt remove all threads and strings from clothes before going in public. Thou shalt dress in normal clothes (no pajamas) before going to the store to get what is needed to finish what was started regardless of what time it is. (midnight)

Amen to that. Just last night, I was making a Saturday Market Bag for myself and I sewed the pocket piece wrong twice, then sewed the second one wrong also. I had such a talk with myself. If I spoke to anyone else the way I talked to myself, I'd have no friends at all.Some times its best to just bak away from the machine, so no one getas hurt!!

My "record" so far is 7 times. I kid you knot. I was ready to pull my hair out until I realized that I had twisted the one block by 90 degrees. That is when I realized the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Here's one I didn't see yet: putteth not thy sharpest scissors on the edge of the table points facing outward, or for sure they shall falleth on thy bare foot and pierceth it. Then thou mayest have to visit the nearest Emergency Room and explain when the doctor asks "Now how did you do this?"
