Yes, I did it. I was stitching a block from the floral visions visions project and trying to clean up the area around my machine. While sewing the thread to the last color I realized the large lace like leaves were missing from my stitch out but they showed on the machine screen. I remember when it first started sewing I had stopped the machine so I could select the faster speed - on the 830 it's bunny mode. Well, I must have some how punched the arrow by accident and skipped that color. I was tempted to say - I'm done but then I thought no way, Jose! That's a lot of work to just toss. So I grabbed several other colors to stitch the flowers out in, deciding that I'd make a little tuft pillow or something like that with my stitch out so it won't go to waste. Not my intent but better than a complete loss!
Oh yeah, the block was more than 70,000 stitches. Really. I'd post a picture but it's still in the hoop. Attached to the machine. In the sewing room. All alone in the dark. I'm done for tonight. Tuesday and Wednesday too. Hopefully I have enough fabric for another block. If not, I think I might know a place where I can buy some more.
