Oh Tonnie, reading this thread has given me a real chuckle. It does look like you have a stutter problem LOL. actually that looks like something that I would do.
When I first started hand quilting, I quilted 1/4 inch from the seam. I loved the look of that. Now with my hands not co-operating very well, I stitch in the ditch so my stitches don't show as much. I too stitch just up against the seam on the low side. It's hard to do right in the ditch unless you press all your seams open, and I don't like to do that. I'm glad you are doing hand quilting. I just love Andrea's quilts.
