Embroidering on anything and looking back at it and thinking 'I did that' and I absolutely hate it when some-one asks me to alter something for them and they say "all you need to do is !!!!!!!!! If its so simple then they should do it.

Seeing something beautiful develop and trying out new techniques.
Least favourite: Jump stitches especially if they have been sewn over!

My favorite thing is watching it all come together the way it should. My least favorite is making a mistake and having to rip out stitches. I also do not like working with zippers. Hugs, Mary

I enjoy having a nice looking finished product. I hate to have to rip out anything and even worse than that, I hate to have to sit still for as long as it takes me to finish a design that has many color changes and takes hours and hours to finish. At one time, I did like to do the complicated designs but I have a hard time sitting for hours now!

Favorite thing is digitizing the design......least favorite...I have 2.....prep (getting garment ready, hooping etc) and like cutegirl.....dastardly zippers!! I am not good at straight stitching for some reason and I know that is important with zippers is a straight line......

I love embroidering my designs. I hate square hemming corners - I hate the thick bulkiness when it is a thicker cloth. I love doing baby things and bedding.

wow I think we all hate putting in zippers! I am even nervous to try the ith projects with zippers just in case! I think for me when I create something for someone I put my heart & soul into it & if they don't like it BAM! It just breaks my heart! I once made an entire table setting for someone & they politely asked me if I could redo it "you know just change it to such & such I'm sure it won't take you anytime @ all!" It was a gift! not a request, I don't think that to this day I have ever made her anything again! Am I a sourpuss?

No way r u a sourpuss what an ungratefut so & so that person was
I agree. I would'nt make her anything else either.
if you are a sourpuss... welcome to our club....lol...
I've been there, done that as the saying goes.
with my relative, i said of course i am able to change it. I took it home, threw it in the trash and never gave another thing to that person. she has asked for things, and i tell her, if i get time.... But that will NEVER happen... lol...

I think seeing the finished object when it comes out like it should.
Least favorite thing-I HATE to get stuck by a needle and get a drop on blood on newly finished project.

My favourite thing is making something individual that no one else has, my least favourite is altering or mending especially mending, i would much rather make something from scratch, cheers. Betty

I love seeing the finished product especailly when it comes out looking like what I expected or better. My least favorite...Button holes! Will do zipper before button holes and even put in velcro to avoid both in some caeses, lol! Other least favorite thing is having a deadline and a brain freeze so to speak at the same time. Thatn I have to try and find my creativity when its gone on vacation without me, lol!

I love working with all the beautiful fabric that I have. It takes me forever to decide what to use on a project. Least fav-when I work so hard on something, people don't understand how much time and effort and money that was involved.

i don't mind zippers! what i hate to do is sew on buttons.
remember years ago, we all wore long dresses with buttons all the way down the front? i loved the dresses (they were so cool and comfy in the summer) but i sure hated putting on those buttons.
i love to make clothes for my 3 year old grandaughter. she loves to twirl and "float". Her word for what the skirts do... lol...
