Today I'm talking about a slightly uncomfortable topic - what to do when everything’s just going wrong.Just last week, I received a schooling in this! I regularly live stream quilting a project on YouTube and Facebook. I’ve dubbed it Live & Unscripted, and sometimes Quilting’s First Reality Show because it’s just that - real time process without any edits or “cleaning up”. I’ve always included the rough bits, like thread or needle breaks, or second-guessing design decisions, because my goal is to help viewers see what a quilting studio really looks like. See how long things really take. See if I really do quilt in bare feet and manual mode!Well, this particular live stream started off with a lurch. About 8 minutes before going LIVE, I discovered that the backing of the quilt was about 2” shorter than the front. That’s a problem.  A big problem.It kind of went downhill from there….re-doing while loading…tension problems…camera problems…a loose seam catching the hopper foot and stitching it in…and so it went, until finally I just called a halt.So this is some candid talk about how that feels....and what I learned from YOU, the viewers. And spoiler - it's all good❤️Want to try free motion quilting but don't know where to start? <a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6272c2f646c9ddac82189a67">Here's 3 simple steps to get going.</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Stitchedbysusan">Support the show</a>------------------------ If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating and review <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/measure-twice-cut-once/id1562600150'>here</a>.
