You cut exactly the right number of pieces, when you go to sew them together one piece is always missing. So you cut another, sew it where it was needed then you find the piece you had cut earlier.

When visiting a quilt shop in Hawaii (our daughter lived there for a couple years), I saw some fabric that I could use in a project. I remember asking my hubby about it and he agreed. For the life of us, we can’t remember what the project was, but I still have that fabric. That Hawaiian fabric is now almost 10 years old.

Here’s one I just went through. It started in January when I reorganized the drawers in my sewing machine cabinet. Because the cabinet now holds a Bernina that takes the large black bobbins, I removed the smaller metal bobbins that still fit my back-up machine. I put those metal bobbins somewhere, but I couldn’t find them. Fortunately, I found them today. Here’s a suggestion. When you move something like those bobbins to a new home, leave a small note in the original home that says where the item is now located. Eventually you can get rid of that note when you have the new home memorized. If the item was not located in the first place you looked for it, consider moving it to that location because that’s where you think it should be. I do that with all kinds of things in my house - move them to the first place I thought to look for them or leave a note telling me where to look.

I've experienced ALL of these at one point or another. So, we've implemented a law at my house: Don't talk badly about ANY appliance/car/computer/sewing machine...because it WILL hear you and WILL retaliate for what you said. And I no longer have the problem of having a buried sewing notion - I found a nifty plastic clamp on basket that I put on my cutting table. All the notions for the project go in it and as soon as I'm done using the notion into that basket it goes. That and having an individual set of notions at all 3 stations of my sewing studio (sewing, cutting, and ironing) means I don't have to trudge across the room to get what I need because it's already right there. So I don't take the sewing station stuff to the ironing station, etc.

Thank you for all your wonderful insights and strategies to make gorgeous stuff! I started sewing things back over fifty years ago, and it was always garment construction. You know the drill: prewash the fabric, straighten it if it was wound crooked on the bolt, match the print across seams, rip it out if it's not right & sew 'til it is. Go with the tried and true, never innovate. Going for perfection. Murphy keeps handing me fabric that I love, but it's printed crooked. Arrrgh! Or I'm binge-watching quilting tutorials and see a great pattern/fabric line, but the video is more than a year old and they're not available any more. (This is forcing me to be more creative, so not all bad.) But I'm fascinated by the quilting world of today. Multiple half-square triangles. No-waste flying geese. One block wonders. Pre-cuts. Scrap-busters. What a lovely world we create in! -Sally from MO

I was doing a project that I was using my seam gauge. It’s kind of dumb to have a sentimental sewing tool, but this seam gauge I had had since I started sewing many years ago. I was using it and then I couldn’t find it. I was going nuts looking for it in my sewing room. How can it be there one minute and then just disappear? I spent more than an hour going through my entire room, but it was just gone. Then after a lot of heavy frustration, I noticed that the drawer on my black dresser in the room was slightly open. I looked in that drawer and there was my seam gauge. It had been knocked off my sewing table and I guess the table is close enough to that dresser that it landed in that drawer. It was so bizarre, but I was very happy that I found it. I know I could buy a new one for pretty cheap, but I was just so happy to have found it. Now don’t ask me how many tools have fallen off the table and landed in the trash can. We now have a rule that the trash in my sewing room has to be gone through before it goes out.

So so glad you found it, and I love that rule.

All are so, so true! The exact situation with the sewing machine tension happened yesterday. I couldn't get that tension right no matter what and I must have fussed with it off & on for 3 hours yesterday. I've been putting off getting my machine serviced, and I think it was telling me, take me in NOW - I won't cooperate until I get some TLC!!

Oh no! Yes, we have to get them serviced for sure.
