    Cakes yes, cookies no. I wouldn't mind decorating the cookies, but my SIL thinks it will be more of a pain in the butt than it's worth at this point. But I don't know, I think she'll come around eventually. :D

    The best thing to do is to step back for a little while..get stoned like you said, straighten up your work area and then start over..things always come out better that way.

    Maybe you should try to use more workable fabric? Or bring in a good friend who you can make tea for a couple hours and work on the project with you.

    Damn, I'd rather help you that sit around here!

    I'm sorry I went a little crazy with the cookies.

    Im sure that after a break, you'll be able to catch up with your orders.

    Try using pliers, but go gently. What do you mean by the corners aren't matched up?

    Thanks, I did that yesterday, but not so gently. My screw looks a bit jacked up now.
    When I go to turn things right side out, the corners aren't sewn. I think I am not leaving enough seam allowance. Also, one corner always seems to look bigger than another corner to me. Andy thinks I am on crack and it looks even and fine, but I see other wise.

    There is a bit of a trick for sharp corners...

    I haven't heard of that one! Thank you. I think you saved me from another afternoon of wanting to throw my sewing machine and myself out the window.
