Never thought about doing that. Thanks for the tip/helpful hint!

That's what I've been thinking too. Once I wash it, I may hardly even notice it. The stitch in the ditch is only on the pinwheel blocks in the corners and at least I stayed on the the white fabric most of the time!

Ahh.... I love the Quilt Board! I'll be able to go to work, without feeling so guilty about entertaining this idea. I had been telling myself that the "right" thing to do is either rip it out and redo, or leave it alone. I HATE to rip, so I had pretty much resigned myself to leaving it alone. I think I will do what some have suggested - when it is all finished, wash it, and then see if it still bothers me, before I pick up pink permanent markers.

Thanks everyone!

I know I'm going to sound like the quilt police, and everyone's going to hate me, but I find that it doesn't take that much time to rip out that little bit here and there, and redo it, and you'll be so much happier in the long run. Think about the time it takes to make a little sample, try out the markers, heat set them, wash and dry them.......you'd have all those less than perfect areas resewn before you did all that!!!! C9P

This is an old longarmers trick.

Yes, very true. That's probably why I will just leave it as is, because I am fundamentally too lazy to go through all of that!

I don't hate you. You are the voice of reason that has been in my head all along, telling me that this is probably a bad, bad idea. Thanks for backing up the angel on my shoulder!
