the serger class is to make this really neat oblong bolster pillow. well I came to class with my precut fabric, my bag of batting and my trusty serger ready to roll. Well the first thing we did was make a ruffle without a ruffler, pretty neat and easy to do, then added the ruffle to the main piece, ok so far, then we did a 'pin tuck' 3 times down the center for design, still hangin in there, then sewed the other side of the ruffle to a piece of fabric folded in half for the ends - still not doing to bad, then go to look at the damn thing and one ruffle was 5 inches short of the center piece the other was 2 inches to long, so the teach says don't worry we'll cut em all off even and nobody will be the wise - cool, then we have to add this stupid little piece of cord inside a stupid strip of fabric to make a stupid piece of binding. Did it!! and not an easy task, anyway went to sew it to the ends and one side was perfect and the other side was done on the wrong side of the stupid fabric!!!!! I got such a case of the giggles I had tears running down my poor old face, today it's wadded up in a ball for the cats to play with!! But I think I learned something, not sure what yet but it'll come to me!! anyway thought you might get a giggle, I know i sure did.
so most times you can fix it if you just let your self calm down and think about it. It sounds like you learned a lot I still have not mastered my surger. I still have a lot to learn. Hang in there and enjoy your sewing.
My motto is that the person who never makes a mistake - never tried anything! So keep trying new things sweetie, and keep laughing about your mistakes.
Hugs and flowers for a lovely lady - and that's something I never make a mistake about!
