Maybe I just need to change needles more often? I'll try that. I love your solution, though, of marking it and fixing it by hand later. My next quilt is going to be a wall hanging, so precise stitches will be more important as the stitches will be so very visible. (And there will be lots and lots of seams in the quilt I have planned. And it's primarily batiks.) I'll get some really high quality needles before I start quilting that.
Thanks for the suggestion!
