best friend? YESTERDAY.
I was about six hours into a 120,000+ stitch design for a very special person. The design did not show proper colors so I was substituting what I felt was right as I changed threads. As you know, sometimes it is difficult to anticipate what will be stitched in what order and I failed to catch the fact that I had used a very inappropriate color for one area. That is, until it was completely stitched.
I decided to remove the color and resew. I picked up a new ripper and turned the design over to cut the bobbin thread. About that time my telephone rang, I jumped, and stabbed the sew-out, ripping about a 3/4 inch long hole right through a critical part of the design.
I cried, I sobbed, I went through quite a few tissues. I patched from the back, but the cut is still very obvious on the front. Back to the sewing machine. I need to take the telephone out of the sewing room, for sure, for sure. Oh, and put a box of tissues on my shopping list.
Love and blessings Chris
Sending you a big bear hug!

Last year, I embroidered one design from a popular website, and it was very poorly digitized, the stitches jumped all around the design and was making lumps on the bottom, it ruined an expensive bath towel, as I coulndt removed the stitches. I cut the ruined part and using the towel myself. Yes, I felt like you are feeling now.
I hope you still can save your item.
a big hug for you!

For asterixsew - I already had over 6 hours in the sewing - that included time spent changing colors and winding bobbins. There are 45 color changes in this design. I would say I had less than an hour to go before finishing.
