This morning I did the most annoying thing. I hid the ends on a pendant I made and cut them off with scissors that were handy. About 5 minutes later I saw some fuzz on the pendant and went to brush it off only to realise that I managed to cut the top of one double stitch when I cut the ends. So its ruined. I hate when you get to the end of a project and something as simple as cutting botches the whole thing. I would show you a picture of the pendant but I'm still devastated. Sigh.
oh no! That is annoying. Unfortunately, I've done that a couple of times too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very familiar. How frustrating. I'm looking forward to seeing pendant number two in due course.
ReplyDeleteoh, that is too bad. will you be able to fix that part?
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate that? I am sorry.

I've done that too, very annoying. I hope that when you've taken a deep breath you can think of a way of saving it.
ReplyDeleteI carry a large flat sequin with a hole in it, I place the threads thru the sequin press down and trim. The sequin shields the tatting below.. I'm not capable of using scissors without cutting something I didn't mean to!
ReplyDeleteFirst, you scream the worst words you can think of. Something like, "BURNED PORK CHOPS!!" Then, throw a piece of tatting thread on the floor and stomp on it. Then, you dry the tears and sigh.
ReplyDeleteI have never cut a stitch, but picots are always in danger when I get sharp things in my hands.
So sorry. Best of luck on a quick repair or a good stomping.
:-)
I must tell you that I did not come up with the idea of the sequin. It came from (I hope I've recalled this correctly)Barbara Heavner.
