I love it. You are such an inspiration to me but I'm not sure I will ever get my stitches that small. How many to the inch? I know I'm not supposed to ask but 7 is about as good as it gets for me.

Thank you, Glenn! I do my very best. Yes, I am German and I live in the north, not too far away from Hamburg.

Well, the number of stitches depends a lot of the material I use. Not every fabric allows to do such tiny stitches. Normally I can do 12 to 14, sometimes 16 (only counted on the quilt top).
