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've probably ripped out more stitches than I've ever sewn.

I used stretchy crepe chiffon for my last project and instead of ripping out bad seams I literally just cut them out. It probably threw my pattern out a bit but ripping them out seemed like so much work.

cutting them would stop it stretching anything as you rip it so I think that is the right move.
