    I don't hand quilt, but yes, I have ripped out many times!

    I started hand quilting a double size quilt about 10 ago. Got half way done, had a toddler and put it away since she kept pulling on it. Now a few more children and 10 years later, the batting is all ripped up and my arm cannot handle the hand quilting any longer. I am going to have to take out all that hand quilting. I have just lost heart for it. I don't even have a bed it will fit on any longer. But it is a very pretty heart pattern. I was thinking of selling or trading it. I will pull it out and post pictures one day.

    Yes! That's what happened on My Attic Windows. I was trying to stitch in the ditch, but it was too bulky under my machine and I didn't like the way it looked. So I ripped and did the hand quilting.

    Yup, me too! I am forever taking it out and redoing. That is why it takes me forever. Keep quilting. It is good for the soul.

    There is no such thing as stupid in quilting, you just have to get into your groove of things. There are days you need to take a break from it, when you come back to it, you will say "aahhhh, thats right, I know what to do now!" Dont sweat it.

    When I do something like that I call it a learning experience. Somehow it makes it huret less. Good luck.
