During our local Shop Hop, my 83-year old Mom was talking with a shop owner about how she loves to SID. I chimed in that I don't because I'm always tempted to take out the stitching if it gets out of the ditch. The shop owner told us she purposefully sews about 1/8" away from the "ditch" to avoid looking like she was having problems. I love the "painting" of threads idea.

I do THAT all the time....mismatched corners cannot be hidden with a magic marker!
Well, I haven't done the stitching with permanent markers yet, but ----- I have been known to redo blocks so my points are perfect.[/quote]

Great Advice!

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
