Mistakes and Go-to's

See the mistake I made last night when trimming the binding, I cut right through it.

I keep extra bindings always ready in this jar and shelve for these moments

A must have for every quilter it is my Havel seam ripper.

Dove Chocolates help ease the pain, They are my go to when I have made such a big mistake.












Here is my Havel seam ripper in action. The stitches are so small and this quilt is flannel. This is the only seam ripper I use in my studio. It is really sharp and my rippers name is Jack.

Here I have cut out the bad piece of binding.


New section sewed in place, looks good as new. I left out the part about having to do it three times because of stupid mistakes.





Completed flannel quilt.
