The record was 15 times till it was perfect :lol:
I kept counting each time and it felt like hitting the jackpot when it was straigt the second time.

Now a little explaining. 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.

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!

I'm going to go eat something now. I'm blaming it all on low blood sugar. Where is the chocolate???
