<p>I hate ironing! I have a teeny dorm style ironing board that doesn't even have legs that will stay up properly so it's on the floor. :( I'm trying to do better about actually ironing when I'm supposed to.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also hate doing muslins! So much work and there really aren't any physical rewards during that portion of the project. I certainly don't do one for every project and reserve my patience for special projects or features that I know will have fitting…</p>

<p>I also hate having threads and bits of fabric everywhere. I don't have a designated sewing space, so I have to clean a lot during the sewing process. My robe is completely covered in threads! They don't come off in the wash and I'm just too lazy to pick them off individually.</p> While I don't like ironing or…tag:circle.sewweekly.com,2011-05-28:6365347:Comment:441642011-05-28T12:21:25.042ZMarie Irshadhttp://circle.sewweekly.com/profile/marieirshad
While I don't like ironing or cutting out fabric, the bit I really detest is cutting off all the little thread ends after finishing a garment. There's always one that I manage to miss somehow. I've even tried doing it as I go along and I still can't stand it!

this makes me crazy...because it always runs out in the front of the garment or when I'm trying to do something decorative...and then it's just not as pretty.

I will second that and extend it! I hate it when you grade stuff and it A) Is still too small or B) ends up miles too big so you have to take it in and waste fabric!

I hate ironing finished garments, but love having the iron on when in the process of sewing. Most tedious would be the tracing of a pattern and cutting out. I just want to start pushing material through the machine.
