Oh you did a good job in fixing it. i was going to suggest going over it with a satin stitch if necessary.

Great fix! Usually it is only because we know it is there that we see it! Very nice quilting!

I agree with the others. Looks great! I was about to ask which end though; the short end or the long end. But you fixed it great.

You did a good job with the fix. It is the possibility of uneven zigzag stitches that causes me to use matching thread. I don't have fancy stitches on my machine, and uneven stitches happen frequently.

Good job fixing it. Sometimes we just have to go out on a limb and do the best we can.

I almost used matching thread because of the fear you stated. I knew the brown thread would look so much better so I took a chance. I have one other spot on this runner where the zig zag skipped one stitch. I notice it but hopefully the recipient won't. (or else I can say "I meant to do that"!)

Exactly!! I'm not a perfectionist. I like to do a good job but good enough is fine with me. I love planning my projects and the minute I start one project, my mind is moving on to the next one. If I kept at each one until I had to make it perfect, I think I'd have to stop sewing. Good enough is good enough. I do my best and then I move on.
