I have to try and make it as close as possible. I have even taken apart to the middle of quilt top and remade whole squares from the start to get them right. That is after trying the "spray and stretch" method, or the "re-sew 1/4" to take one in a tad more or let it out" method. Those are technical terms, right??.. LOL... My dh has told me that he thinks I like taking out more than I like making!.. I am trying to listen to my "quilty sisters" from my local quilt guild when they tell me to "Leave it alone!!"...

That's true only God is perfect. Someone at a sampler class reminded me that if I keep trying to be perfect I will need therapy and that is expensive. Think of all the fabric you could buy. Unless it's a biggee Let it Go

If it's REALLY off I will rip it out and redo it (if it's redoable), otherwise there is no perfection in quilting. Just good, really good, or great. I consider myself "just good", and I am happy with my results. Perfection is left to God!! Happy Quilting!

Depends, but mostly I rip them out and fix them. If it's just a thread or two off, I "try" not to notice, but most of the time it gets the best of me. Any others that don't match up, oh yeah, rip it out and do it again...but that's just me and seems like my eye is always drawn to the point that doesn't match up..
