Gee, I don't know. The stitches look pretty even to me. I think you did a great job. Way better than I'm doing on my first hand quilted quilt, I can tell you that! What kind of hoop did you use? I'd like to know so that I won't make the same mistake. I want to get a 14" 'sit on' hoop. Right now I have a hoop that sits on the floor. Don't like it.
