    I think after you finish it & throw it in the washer that you probably won't even see most of it. We all want perfect or next to it, but that is impossible. I say finish it, wash it, use it & adore all of your hard work & start another project. The reason I say this is when I have made a quilt that I didn't love at first, I would not of unpicked all of the quilting on it because I don't have that kind of patience. I would just finish it & they never look bad at all.

    After you bind it and wash it, those stitches will all blend in. I have fretted over the same issue time and time again and found that I loved the quilt once DONE.

    I have removed a lot stitches from a quilt, glad I did. I think my problem was caused by trying to expect to much from my DM and walking foot. And expecting to turn a 120 by 120, is just asking for problems. That being said, I do find basic true straight line, and cross hatching turns out beautiful. Also, read where if you quarter the quilt and work in that section it's easier. I haven't tried this method yet.Also, I haven't tried free motion yet. And long arm is just to expensive for me. I do find the simple straight line stitching relaxing.
