ARGH!!! I HATE FINISHING!!!!

Ok, a rant. I HATE Finishing. I hate my sewing machine and I hate that I spend HOURS working on something only to MESS IT UP when I am trying to turn it into something. This is why I like samplers. They get framed. Can't mess up a cube. I hate needlebooks, pincushions, fobs. Anything that requires 2 pieces of fabric sewn together and finished with cording, ribbon or any other decorative do-dad.

I love my stitching, I hate my finishing. It always looks so amateurish. I envy those who finish things so beautifully and they make it look so effortless.

Rant over.

Sometimes I feel the same way, but hang in there! I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it might be!

LOL I bet it's better than you think. I have yet to see a piece of yours that doesn't look wonderful. Good luck!

I'm feeling your pain, sister. I have over 50 projects to finish as a result of my hate affair with the sewing machine.
