question for long armers
 
I just quilted one and used two different colors of thread orange on top and yellow on the bobbin. well I know that is not recommended but I did want to try it. Of course there are places that show the orange thread on the back and I believe that I was going too fast. But what I want to know is how to fix the stitches that don't look right , or should I just leave them alone. Most of the stiches are fine. I do not have stitch regulator guess that is what I am.

​As long as you don't have eye lashes, I would leave it. Once the quilt is washed the batting will puff a bit and the threads should be pulled in.

You need to go at a consistent speed when doing free motion. I agree with Tartan, unless they are eyelashes, just leave them.

Yes, what Tartan said.:)

Tartan is 100% right. Every time I have tried to 'fix' some stitches in a quilt, the fix looked worse than the original stitching. Of course, you may have a better eye for fixing mistakes than I do - and probably a lot more patience than I do, too.

Yes, do what Tartan suggested or it will become a very large project that will not look as good as it does now. So...step away from the quilt......
