A geographical border, a defunct bookstore OR a guide for a Statler-Gammill machine to define WHERE it is supposed to sew.
This was our weekend to go visit our pretty long-arm machine. It's a 2 hour drive to the shop and we left our houses at 6:30 this morning.
Well, we must have been still snoozing from the long drive because when it was time to put the borders in our computer ... we simply forgot. Our machine (or Tim Gunn as we like to call him) took that to mean, "hey, sew where-ever you feel like." Big oopie.
We spent about an hour picking out the stitches of our edge-to-edge pattern from the border area (and the first 20 minutes of THAT time was using a pair of scissors and a pin since we couldn't find a second seam ripper) Ugh. What a colossal waste of time (or as our teacher Kelly says "an opportunity for learning!)
Good news. We got the stitches out (thanks to Loree since I was far slower and more easily distracted from this chore) and we finished Michelle's quilt. Next up: Mary's!
