Saturday, decided needed to try it anyways, so I set all this back up with the manual stitcher thingy , took all day to figure out how to start , stop, cut etc.... and then I stitched,,,boy I was having fun,,,oops got late, so I stopped. went to my cousin's son's (13 years old)hockey game.... Sunday,,, did some house cleaning, then got brave , went into the quilting room and away I went ,,, sewed sewed sewed,,,then swore swore, swore,,, can you believe this,,,, no,,,, I didn't break the machine or anything like that, was 3/4 ways done when BINGO DAHHHH,,, I noticed that big, big, boo boo, I done dood it... shoot... well you can see from the pics,,, I didn't realize til now that the backing is backwards lololol,,, soooo ,,, off it comes and now the frog appeared (rip it rip it) ... lesson learned... always check double, check and triple check....lol...

*Hugs* I am SO familiar with frogging... LOL
I did the same thing with one back. I think we're just so used to right sides together. I didn't rip out, I just hand sewed a strip over the seam. It seemed faster than ripping and is nearly impossible to see the mistake now.
Awesome photos of the birds you got there Lise! You could be a nature photographer! Very nice! 8-)
OH my... I feel for you and that oops booboo... and 3/4s done too yet!!! All that prep and problems with the machine and then that! Well, I must say though, your quilting looks great! Tension's great too! You want help with ripping?
Happier stitching soon... 8-)
Oh! By the way, love the couch potato quilt! 8-)
