I'm in the same position too. I feel your pain and it is good to know that I am not alone! A puzzle quilt I'm making for a friend has machine quilting that did NOT turn out. I wish you success.

I would put it a way for a short while then come back to it. If you really have to rip it out then I would do it in short steps, do some, walk away and then do some more. I always get a little antsy when ripping out something I don't like so I have to do a little and walk away so I don't end up ripping the quilt at the same time.
