Tackling, a UFO... I pulled out the "heart quilt" I had pieced 4-5 years ago and finally got up the nerve to attempt quilting it myself. I would attempt, meandering loops w/ random hearts. I have a fab-u-motion for my machine (the Viking version of a stitch regulator. Not difficult to use but, not something I want to set up and tear down daily) I figured it would take me a week or so to complete, trying to space out my sewing, as to not reek too much havoc on my shoulders and back. I don't use the fab-motion enough to be "good" but manage.
Anyhow, I plugged away at it and did a good amount on Saturday and finished on Sunday. WELL.... apparently on Saturday, I had not adjusted my tension (something that has to be done, every time you turn it on!). I did not discover this, until I was finished or so, I thought!
SOOooo, now I have to rip out, all that I did on Saturday and "redo." I am wondering if I should just rip out the whole thing and start all over??? I suppose, I can chalk it up as "good practice" but, what a waste of time. It looks, like this will remain an "unfinished Valentine," another year, or two!, GRRR....
I am sooooooooooooooooooo sorry...I hate that reverse sewing.....the quilt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens! Sit in the evenings to rip it out and so something more fun during premium stitching hours.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is worth saving!!
