Seconded.
When I was making my 'going away' outfit for my wedding (pretty pink
silk habutai with white collar and cuff, and a wrap skirt), my iron had
a 'moment' and scorched the back of the shirt slightly. Luckily a quick
wash saved it: the only damage was to the dressing in the fabric. Huge
Phew! moment there...
Not sure what to advise, other than chocolate.

Thank you, all those in favor, say "aye".
Those opposed, say nay.
Hearing none, the motion is carried, from now on serger foul
ups will be called "SHDs" in honor of the Queen of Creative
Patches in AR.

I have had the occasional close call with my iron as well.
Recent one was a scorch mark on the McKellar tartan!
Luckily, it came out with hydrogen peroxide and water.

Mmm, sounds about right, I have some chocolate pudding and
strawberries awaiting my attention.

I thought champagne went well with just about everything.
;-) I enjoyed the strawberries and chocolate last night,
now I'm about to tackle a repair to the shirt.

Look what happens when I don't read the group for a day or so. LOL
While I'm thrilled (!?!?!?) to have an award named after me, and delighted
to be named Queen of something, I'm terribly sorry you had an {insert
colorful expletives here} moment in the sewing room. :(
And it's always the way......the only of that fabric to be had, you have.
*sigh* I can mail you some scraps from the prom dress if you would like to
applique some of that on there in an interesting shape...... I'm running
now.....
