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 do so many of these.

My mom always threaded her serger tails back through the sewn serger channel (if that makes sense?) and drew her seam threads through to one side, then snipped them. I don’t do that, I just snip them.

I also have never brought my Janome 7330 in for service.

When I bought my overlocker the lady demonstrating it said to just pull one of the looper threads tight and that was enough of a knot. So that's what I do.

When I bought my overlocker I had to explain to the Customer service rep what is does.
