Handquilting is like basketmaking. As long as you do it all,no one will very say or notice anything. Like anything else it takes practice. If you are a perfecionist you'll either improve or not enjoy it. My stitches were not 12 to the inch or whatever but they were MINE. I had a cousin that would shine a flashlight under the quilt to count the stitches, that worked for her, think she made all of 2 quilts in her lifetime. Good luck, don't give up! Remember more love than perfection goes into quilts.
