Sharon, I personally like the 1st one. Your stitching is beautiful. But if the holes bug you, try a size 9 needle.
I use a 12 and this blanket stitch when I do mine. The holes don't bother me and yes, they probably will close up a little after washed.

If the needle a universal needle, you might try an embroidery needle. If you are using an embroidery needle, I would try a different one, maybe the one you picked out is defective.
If you are sewing with poly or poly cotton, try 100% cotton.
You could also change to a smaller needle and 60 wt 3ply or 2 ply thread.

I haven't tried washing it yet ... was going to wait until I had the red stitching done and wash it and see what happens , but the other 11 have the smaller , unseen stitching . I was worried it wouldn't close up and I need these done for next week :oops:
