Hi Judy,
We all make mistakes. Instructors are not exempt from making mistakes. I have been teaching for over 20 years, and I too make mistakes from time to time. I show my students how to fix mistakes. It is important to know how to fix what you have messed up.

If I have made a mistake in a demo I always say "well even though I have done this hundreds of times I made a mistake. Now let me show you how we can fix this" If it is unfixalbe I say ok lets do this again. I think the students feel oh she is only human and everyone can make a mistake. They also learn how to fix that mistake when possible.
