I took classes from a local artist on quilting your quilt. She listed some well known books to bring if you had them. Some people checked them out from the library. The instructor started her class with turn to this page or that page in one of the books. Look at her stitching. Is it perfect? She is an award winning quilter. Then the same about someone else. The instructor then said for us to get over the perfect stitches thing. Unless your quilt is to be judged for money don't worry about it. Just have fun and do it. It was freeing for me...have been quilting my own since.
