I had been wondering about SID as well, so much to learn about! Being a beginner quilter my first hand quilting stiches were not that good but I carried on and by the end of the QS quilt I had improved a lot. I can live with a few uneven stiches, when my quilt is on the bed it looks ok over all! I must put a pic up of my first quilt, and thankyou for the info on SID as I am about to try! Gal
