I have to admit I hate Ironing!
To the point my garments often can go through construction without even seeing an iron since pre-wash. It gets on my nerves, i'm not sure why
What bit of sewing do you find the most tedious? Which bit would you rather your little imaginary sewing elf could do for you in your sleep?

Hemming. It can make or break the final garment so you have to be very careful. The worst part is that if you do it really well, it is unnoticeable ( except maybe to other seamstress) but if you mess it up, the whole garment goes down the drain.
I would rather embellish the clothes - by adding appliques, doing running hand-stitches, adding a bias tape etc.
Cutting out! I'm with Farah, back ache , ugh. I also don't really like finishing seams (zigzagged on my machine), it's a pain.
Stevie, I quite like pressing the seams, makes them all lovely. Is that a bit sick?
Camomma, I like hemming by hand, as it is the last thing and I am excited about finishing. Plus, it's an in front of the telly activity ;0)
I must be weird!
Cutting was my most unhappy moment but I have come to terms with it.
My biggest downer is when pieces don't match up properly and the struggle to get it right, not sure if it's tedious or just down right frustrating.
I really hate ironing...really HATE it..but I do it anyway.. as I sew.. I go to the ironing board and iron the seams as I go..Dreading it all the way.ha
Also, agree with Cathe, so frustrating..when you sew a garment together ,,and discover the seams dont meet...oooh.. How bad,,I want to say an ugly word!!!!ha
Happy Sewing.
