Trouble is it can still be easy to get irritated and wound up. But I am learning to become more Zen as time goes by. I have to accept that we can not rationalise with everyone and that some people form opinions from a situation that we can never change, whatever we do, or however we behave. It can be hard to not want to put this how they are and nit pick.
On the other hand I then decided to treat myself to a little play with the new fabric. I hate the table mats we have, they are old and stained, and it is not possible to get the stains out, I have tried. So a google searching I went, 'How to make a fabric placemat' only to realise I could probably work it out myself.
I am very pleased with how they have turned out except for one thing. As I was machining lines horizontally the fabric would seem to have spare at the end (with the batting) and create a bit of a lump. I have never done quilting, and I think I kind of made a mini quilt. What did I do wrong? would appreciate some tips. Here is the result:

Looks good to me (suspect you have sensibly not shown the ends with the spare!)
I don't do a huge amount of sewing, but when I've ended up with more fabric at one end it's usually because one fabric has more "give" in it than another. The answer is to pin pin pin and not just get on with the sewing - or at least, that has been *my* problem, and *my* answer. Good luck with the new term!
The answer to this is a walking foot - which allows for the differential feed on the fabrics - it's not just you and this problem is not uncommon. I always used to think it was my incompetence!
