I'm just wondering because I'm hand piecing a quilt and since I'm not the best at it, the stitches don't look perfect from the top, but I like it since it's a country style quilt and it looks more rustic that way.
When i first began quilting (%$%^^&%^years ago) I was taught to deliberately make a mistake. You were to do this because the only perfect thing was God Himself. Of course I never had to do it deliberately....mistakes just come natural to me!
