I have been quilting for 10 years or so, and have done a fair amount of SID. I just finished a piece this week that is to be a wall hanging and I nearly tossed it because I felt my stitching was all over the ditch, not really in it most of the time. But, I finished it anyway and hung it in my entry foyer. To my suprise, it looks pretty good, even though I know all its faults. No one else sees them at all, and even I have to study it to see everything that bugged me so much while I was working on it. Don't be discouraged, as I keep telling myself, done is better than perfect. I really want to get to perfect, though (LOL)
