You look at it so close that you will see every stitch that goes off. Once the quilt is finished and washed, you may not notice it. Accept your work in progress - that's what I tell myself.

I was at a quilt show and one of the quilts that won a ribbon had a boo boo. Leave it

My mother-in-law always said "Who can tell on a galloping horse". I suspect that is why colored markers are made. I have used the while doing stitch in a ditch, when the ditch wandered a bit.
