    Misery loves company

    Because I'm selfless like that, I wanted to share with you all my sad....

    I was on the floor, on my knees, slicing up some pretty ROBIC XL and, whilst adjusting myself to move up along the cutline....

    I pierced the fabric with my hot knife!

    3 yards wasted. A sacrifice to the Hammock gods of old.

    Mourn with me, brothers and sisters.

    My condolences on your loss.
    There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

    That sucks, but be happy that you only wasted 3 yards of raw fabric. I managed to slice my Wilderness Logics 10° underquilt with my hot knife while cutting fabric... Still haven't repaired it.
