I think that was a fabulous compliment. That shows your seam work is so great it looks like a printed picture, and is well done. Good for you. I'm sure she was wishing that her work looks that good.

I am sure this woman meant it as a complement. She probably doesn't know much about sewing/quilting and was impressed with your work. Jeanniebelle

Complement for sure; means your stitches are all nice and even without any tension issues anywhere.

Yes, I think you listened "out of context." Best one I remember: my ex's old aunt remarking, "You have nice legs for a fat girl!" Take THAT, and THAT!!

Are you using a lovely new product that is a spray starch alternative? When you use that, your blocks are so flat, you hardly notice the seams, they seem to disappear ! Mary Ellen's Best Pressed. It's wonderful. Quilters even use it to starch their fabrics before they use a stabilizer for embroidery. It's wonderful !
