    My eyes felt like they were crossing a few times. And it was definitely not a quilt to drink to much coffee or any wine while working on it. LOL Used navy thead...it blended almost too good to quilt with. I had started the quilt in a different way and had to tear a row out, small stitches are not fun to unsew either.

    That is beautiful. I really like stitched in the ditch for many things.

    What CKCowl was trying to explain is that the 10" goes in every direction, up down, side to side. So you have areas where quilting is 3" x 60" apart on the long side with no quilting going cross wise in the channel. 60" is indeed much bigger than 10" no matter how you measure it. While your customer wanted simple, I am sorry to say that she may have a problem with the batting bunching up in one or all of those long borders with no quilting going a span of 60" and 50" even if it is a channel only 3" wide. The problem probably won't manifest itself until after the quilt is washed several times.

    You are doing this as a business, so you really are responsible for educating your customers and yourself. Sometimes what they want is just not possible because of the nature of the batting. One dissatisfied customer, even if the dissatisfaction occurs a year after you quilted, could cost you a lot of bad word of mouth advertising.

    About the only time you can get away with long channels of quilting with no cross wise is very tightly space lines (1/2" or less) apart. Just sayin.
