Don't know why. It also takes me a long time to finally finish things off, like sewing the hems, attaching the hook and eyes.lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-60851338735699593832011-10-31T08:30:21.882-05:002011-10-31T08:30:21.882-05:00I love piecing quilts (see: sewing straight lines!...I love piecing quilts (see: sewing straight lines!) but I have a hard time choosing fabrics, and I can't stand quilting!

Design phase is my favorite, piecing is okay, sandwiching the layers and basting is something I would pay someone else to do if I could.KarenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022790587742613590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-48583049952287785312011-10-29T16:17:22.935-05:002011-10-29T16:17:22.935-05:00BUT!

It makes me feel that the groovy paisley I have earmarked for the same pattern is doable :) I think you hit the nail on the head with sewing - getting started is definitely harder than in knitting.Andreahttp://www.stitchparade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-73932846047146641862011-10-28T21:29:35.634-05:002011-10-28T21:29:35.634-05:00That might be a good business idea: do all the pr...That might be a good business idea: do all the prep work!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-79612477498708596132011-10-28T21:28:48.350-05:002011-10-28T21:28:48.350-05:00Getting started IS the hardest part!

I also don't like cutting out the pattern pieces from the tissue.
