Messy sewing rooms? Oh, yeah!
A gazillion projects started and shelved? I could win the prize for that!
Slow to change the rotary blade? Guilty of re-sharpening it until that will no longer even work.
I also sleep under every quilt I make, before they are gifted, even baby quilts. Is that a sin? Am I going to H*ll for that? I don't mean to, it just gets so warm and snuggly as I am burying knots and binding...
In my defense, I always clean out and oil the bobbin area after each bobbin change. At least I have one good habit, huh?

I'm a pin sewer overer too! But to my defense I was taught that way in Home Ec (dating myself). Teacher said as long as they are at a right angle to the seam it shouldn't be a problem--if you hit a pin, you didn't pin it right!. But of course we were using older Singer's then too and they sewed over anything!

I don't iron my seams totally flat - my quilty pal always comments on that as she was taken under the wing of a more experienced quilter who thumped it into her head.

I waste thread at an alarming rate as I rarely chain-stitch. And I tend to be wasteful when quilting in general - I go with what is easier for me rather than what is most economical. Now that I am on a budget, that should change (in theory!)

I toss my snipped threads on the floor. I consider it feeding Mr Vacuum.

Okay, here I go:
1) I have sewn over pins before
2) I hold pins in my mouth especially when I'm pinning and still talk
3) I start too many projects at once
4) Have let sewing stuff take over a part of my great room
5) I feel cheated if I didn't get to sew, even for a little during the day.

Redemption: I press way more than I ever thought I would since I started quilting almost three years ago.

I sew over pins, too........

I used to sew over pins...2 machines ago. I DO put pins in my mouth. I remember my grandmother doing it...about 5 or 6 at a time. My Elna...has the same needle in it that was in when hubby bought it for me in 1999. Of course I didn't sew for about 10 years...just started back at it last year. I never ironed seams when sewing clothing...I do iron seams now. Something I started already and have only had this Janome Horizon about a month...I find myself lifting the presser foot before the needle goes back down on my last stitch. I LOVE using the thread cutter and I went to get "to it" too fast. Something else that I have done...and I don't think it's been mentioned...I WILL stretch fabric if it's a hair or 2 off. I will pull on the piece that needs to be a bit longer to try to get a perfectly aligned seam.

I cut towards me with the roatary cutter instead of away from me. Bad habit. I need to do it correct. I sew over pins also.

Me too, but I can't seem to stop.
