All the time. Good idea...pictures....DUH! Why didn't I think of that!
If it's the size that's wrong, the issue would either be the blocks weren't all cut the same size or your seams are inconsistent. If it's a matter that some are positioned wrong, I mark the beginning of each row with a number. I stack the row in the exact order and position they should be sewn together. Once each row is stacked I clip the stack together with a clothespin. If you have trouble you could put a pin in the upper left corner of each block to remind you that it's the edge that needs to be sewn onto the previous block. Sometimes I drop something or get interrupted and this system works super well for me.
Gremlins having a party at my house! Been trying to finish some UFO's and the borders have been possessed by the gremlins. Nothing going right! Who knew I would have trouble with borders???????????
Please, someone, take the gremlins away!
Love the idea of taking pictures, never thought of it, and I will do this in the future. Do gremlins breed?
Oh yes... When they get you on one thing, a whole group of them gang up on you, so watch out....:icon_evil:
Well the Gremlins seem to be everywhere. I try not to notice them, feed them or water them. I keep hoping they will run away to find a better home. So far it hasn't worked. My last block of the month block stirred them up to a frenzy.
Oh, yeah! No doubt about it. The gremlins lurk everywhere. I have to REALLY concentrate when I go from wall to machine, or I'll get it backwards half the time.
After numbering them and being so careful, they still get in the wrong spot. I'm doing a Falling Charms and had it all sewed together and WOOPS.....yep had to take some apart and put them the way they are supposed to be. I left one goofed up, but I don't care.. Gives it character. :icon_wave:
Yes gremlins are everywhere. I think they get into the box with every new sewing machine. Or maybe they come in with the fabric stash. Not really sure how they get there but I wish I knew of a way to get rid of them.
The gremlins in my sewing room like to hide things from me. I am still looking for my labyrinth pattern.
I have many gremlins. I have also learned to take pictures of the correct layout and use that as reference.
