I took 2 classes from a perfectionist who would take out my stitches if seams were off when I wouldn't which I found frustrating. Well she was the teacher and wanted me to learn. My points are frequently cut off and I do some stretching to make things fit. I don't care. My family thinks my quilts are great (I'm the only quilter in the family). I'm a RN so have to be a perfectionist at work because lifes are at stake and is a stressful job. I won't be that way at home.
