It is really interesting how everyone does things differently. I don't like dense quilting either. Sometimes, when I have had someone else quilt for me, it just overwhelms the piecing and fabric design and I don't like that. But, the person doing the quilting is an artist too and likes the work she has done to look wonderful. It is just a preference. I do qid a lot, but am learning to FM. But, I don't quilt densely (sp??)
