The design that is...I didn't pay attention to the bobbin I grabbed and it just so happened to have ws thread loaded on it...so it is back to the drawing board for aother changing pad...I just thought this was too funny not to post and a little dissapointing considering the time I spent just got washed away....

We learn a lot from the mistakes we make & that is not just true of sewing & embroidery, it's life n general. *4U

I am so glad you can laugh at yourself. A hard lesson learned. A flower for you. You story may have saved someone from making the same mistake (like me LOL). Becky

Congratulations lv2sew, you've just joined the *famous funny mistakes group* - and I'm guessing you won't make that mistake again, haha! So sorry for you, all that work for nothing, but it's good to laugh at ourselves, isn't it. Hugs and flowers to cheer you sweetie.

I am so sorry to hear this I know it is terable to put so much time in to something to loose all that work but it does happen I have a couple of spools of thread I knd of shy away from because I do not know what they are.I will try one and see it may be the ws I am not sure .

Yes, its very funny, but, not as well, considering all of your work and time that went into it. I have a few bobbin cases, and they each have a sticker on the lid with the type of cottons that they have on them,,,,, polyester, rayon, bobbin fill,,,, etc...

So sorry to hear about the wss bobbin experience. Just think if you had wanted to do something different or use another color you can experiment and do it that way. Good luck

Ouch, hard lesson, but guess we all do things without checking at some time or another...best to keep that bobbin well marked in the future... *4U

Sorry to hear that. I guess you LAUGH a little and cry a little ;D *2U

You have to see the funny side of this - Now you see it and Now you don't! Really I am simpathetic I know the time you would have spent.

Oh my..bet that had a mess in the washing machine with all that loose thread. Thanks for the warning. I don't have any wash away thread but I'll know to mark it when I get some.

This is what I call part of the learning curve. We never get to old to learn (to look !!!, and make). I bet you will never make the same mistake again.!!!!

Oh my - at least you know it (ws thread) works - lol.

So sorry about that we live and learn don't we?

I didn't know they made ws thread. Is that for basting?

and yes I use it for basting as well..

Oh that's too bad!! But thanks for sharing. What a lesson for some of us less experienced. I like brendaleas idea of marking the bobbin with the nail polish.

I am so sorry to hear this. Well, Think goodness it was not something you sold to someone. You would have a very unhappy customer on your hands. Or made a top with it, and the lady was outside in a rainstorm!
Did you mark your bobbin with a dot of nail polish?
