I am going to try my hand at quilting as I go.
Take your time taking the bad stitches out, and send it to one of the many great LAQ quilting artists on this board. Remind whoever you send it to, what happened the first time. It will help them understand your reluctance to try again, but you will be glad you did. You have to do something, or every time you look at it, you will feel bad, and begin to have hard feelings for the original 'stitcher'. (I can't call it quilting, when it made you feel so bad.) Have some chocolate, sit comfortably, and just get it started. Just think of it as another step to the beauty of your quilt. ;-)
