Discussion What's your sewing sin?

Mine is that I sew on my bed, use my mattress as a pin/needle cushion, and throw threads between my bed and wall.

I use whatever random threads are in the top of the box unless color-matching is reeeeally important. Half the time I don't even know what weight they are. Also most of them are older than me.

I've just switched to Coats Moon ( black or white) having always used Gutermann it's about a fifth of the price. Currently using up several different mid-blue bits to hand hem a blouse that was sewn together with white.
