Very frustrated. Just ruined a tablecloth., Did not put the on hoop properly and while on the phone it just stitched randomly all over my pattern. Will take me ages to undo it all and as it is a wedding [resent have not time to do it at the moment so have to buy a new table cloth and start all over again. It is one of those weeks where everything seems to go wrong!

It seems when we are under a deadline is when things go wrong! Sorry you had this happen to you. Ifyou can afford to do this, here is what I do: When I have something that I HAVE to get done for someone if it is a purchased item, I try to buy 2 of whatever so if something goes wrong I already have the spare on hand-since as we all know these thing only happen in the middle of the night!! I save the receipt with the item so can usually return it with no problem so am not out that extra cash.

So sorry to hear it all went wrong. Don't think there is one of us who hasn't been there more times than we care to think. Chin up deep breath and carry on

Yes, there can never be anything worse than a time bound item that goes wrong. Or - you are doing things for a corporate customer and the material is of such a bad quality that it threatens to spoil everything. Hope you get it done in good time.****

I think most of us have been in this situation to. Why is it that it is the special pieces of work that goes wrong and not when it doesnot matter? Anyway better luck next time
