That's one nice thing about being a fairly new quilter...... I'm not sure what all I do is considered a bad habit! lol From reading so far, I can say that I don't sew over pins, but DO wait too long to change my rotary blade and needles, I seldom iron seams and I am impaitient, causing many "oopsies!!"

I agree this is also mine - I never seem to buy more than one at a time and then I use the same blade to way past its life span.

I hate to pin so I don't sew over them. But I sew to fast & the needle & rotary blade are my worst bad habits. I also have all of the rest too I just don't like to admit it even to myself.

I still do not sew with a thimble.

I wait to the last minute to finish anything I am sewing. I finished my daughter prom dress the day of the prom, I finished a wedding quilt on the way to Texas for the wedding. It was just the binding, but still I could of finished it weeks before. What is strange, I always get things done when they are needed.

I have so many, one could write a pyschology page on me and it would be published !LOL Just kidding .. I guess my worst 2 are over pinning and sewing over the pins ! sigh ... maybe some day I will get over it ! LOL

I don't change my needle with every project. Sometimes I'll use the same needle for weeks even though it makes that horrible popping sound every time it hits the fabric.

This is exactly what I had to do too! Extra lamps on my sewing center are plugged into same power strip as the iron and I cannot tell you how many times I still to this day walk out of the sewing room flip the wall switch and realize I have left the iron on, because those extra lights are still on....once the power strip is turned off, the extra lamps are off hence iron is off!

Before this simple solution for me, we would be on the road somewhere only to return home to make sure I'd turned off the iron.

I don't use enough pins, I do not iron and only I can find what is needed(most of the time!)otherwise all of the above! I did get some applique snips to clip threads with. My teeth have also changed!

I think many of us don't remember to care for our machines lovingly. I sew ALL the time so I have tried to remember to do the TLC oiling and dust/lint removal every week. Alas, I have not yet made this a habit. BUT I am working on it!
