Are you a perfectionist? I am. Can't tell you the times I have thrown away the stuff after I have completed quilting that I won't accept. I have finally decided that what works for me at this point in my experience is stitch in the ditch, shadow quilting and anything that I can design around any type of a grid because grid quilting can be done with a walking foot and I don't have any trouble accepting the completed work that I do with a walking foot. But keeping FMQ with uneven stitches? Forget it! My big important work goes to professionals. Life is much too short to keep trying what evidently I have no skills in and just ruin what I work on. It's disheartening to either have to rip, rip, rip or throw away. I kept one thinking I would use it, but it's never been off the shelf.
