It is a night mare and sometimes I wonder what I got into and I just have to step back and put it away. Then another tiem I come back to it and I find a way to do it. There is usual one or two items that just do not work, wrong fabric , too worn, or too thick. I will not add it if I think it will not work. I do thouch base as I go with the people whom I am sewing for. I pretty much piece all with same thread and nedle and then use a top stich needle to quilt. Sometimes I have to hand sew. I use a nuetral color thread for all else I would go crazie and just imagine the cost of thread if you tried to color match. Soemtimes it si very challenging as items are very stretchy or thick. I do the best i can. There is a heavy emphasis on the creative aspect versus having it all look perfect. People prefer to have the item in even if it does not look all the way perfect.
