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....

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?

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.

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..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.

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

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

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...
