    Default I don't like "froggin"!

    I've been having to do a lot of fmq ripping. It's been so much ripping that I literally have blisters on 2 fingers and my thumb. The moral to the story is, I hate froggin...rippit, rippit!

    I don't like froggin, it is a really bad part of quilting. I had to do it twice yesterday because I am mixing cheap fabric with good fabric. It is my own fault I didn't want to wait a week for good quality bone fabric I would have ordered because the LQS doesn't have any and I ended up with cheap stuff that is cute from Joann's.

    I still love garden frogs though.

    I hear you! Not too long ago I discovered that my excess backing had gotten caught under my quilt sandwich while fm quilting. I was using invisible thread and the quilting lines were about 1/4" apart. It took me 5 hours of frogging to get that one back where I started. We might as well embrace our seam rippers...I sure use mine enough!

    There is nothing worse that ripping out FMQ'ing stitches. I feel for you!
