Elizabrat, slow and steady is just the thing to do. Sometimes it means I get inches done at a time! And I'm sure you will be able to pick out every place I jump out of the ditch and wave hi. But I like the feed dogs controlling the stitch length instead of me, and I seem to have less problems with bottom tension and skipped stitches. Hey, anything is better than ripping out an entire quilt because of eyelashes (ask me how I know, go ahead!).
