So that's 1/2" spacing on the echo quilting, right?

I didn't know that was a rule or guideline.
If I ever do hand quilting, I just save myself a LOT of stitching
I thought it was going to look very sparse after you said you were pulling some of the stitches out,
but it still looks really dense (my preference) to me.
Good to know.
Lesson learned.
Thanks!
yes i ended up taking out 4 rows...they were 1/4 apart..really close...they i just used my pinkie finger and they are now about 1/2 spaced. I know i like dense quilting thats why i orig had them so close but when others said the traditional is 1/2 to 1 inch i had to take it out and do it right but i am very pleased with the outcome
