I love when my stuff comes out perfect but sometimes it just doesn't. I use the oversize method and the one mentioned using the spray starch, but sometimes I just gotta do the frog stitch... Rip it, rip it, rip it! But,if occasionally a star point gets the tip cut off I refuse to worry about it. Most times "it will quilt out," and my quilting is my stress buster and my fun.
JustJan, you will fit right in here. We use those sayings, too! And quilting helps a lot of us relieve stress. (Of course for others, it may cause some stress - LOL!)
