Christmas QAL Post 4

 Three down ....

So, I take a piece of fabric that's say 40" wide by 200" long.  I want a piece which is 80" x 100", so I cut the length in half and sew the two pieces together.  Brilliant.  Then I measure it, and guess what I've got?  A piece measuring 40"  x almost 200".  Whaaaaattt????  Yep, I sewed the wrong edges together.  Am I the only one who is capapble of being so stupid?

  1. :-) You are so cute! Of course you are not the only one who has sewn two things together wrong. I've done it numerous times!~ and sometimes it was the same thing, I just kept ripping and sewing and then ripping again and sewing... LOL Have a great day!

  3. Haven't done that one yet - When my mind is too tired I just go to the bolts of extra wides - no troubles there.

  10. Oops indeed, better to have sewn it wrong than cut it wrong - I guess? Are those extra wide backing fabrics starting to look attractive?

  11. Sometimes I feel quite math challenged when I try to figure out the backs of quilts. I must confess I've done this myself...with my serger too. Best to just whack off and start again.
