We have all been to craft shows where we see those embroidery machines working away with no one operating them as they are programmed by a microchip, the results are always perfect, we are not programmed by "chips" therefore the mistakes we make are all part of us. Having something that is handmade especially for you IS special, flaws and all.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone keep on Quilting in 2011 with passion.

Here here! I LOVE doing free motion quilting for example and am not fond of panto work - in fact, I'm actually rather insulted if anyone takes my work for panto work - I almost put mistakes in on purpose, so it's obvious that it's freehand. :mrgreen: In my opinion, freehand has much more 'soul' somehow. :D
