Most times, no one else would notice what we see as problems. So, enjoy the process, and you will get better, naturally. :thumbup:
Well said Peggy! I am thoroughly enjoying this, and am using a large wooden hoop. Although for some reason I cannot seem to master a 'quilting knot'. Is it all in the way you hold your chin? :shock:
