So it looks like most of us have the "phobia". What I finally did was make a quilt for my granddaughter and just did stitch in ditch and criss-cross on the in between sections. It was not perfect but it was done by "Grammy". Anyone who receives a quilt from me will look at them and see my mistakes and know that I am not perfect. And I think the imperfections are OK as non of us are perfect. I have had 2 quilts done by the Long Arm Pro's and when I got them back I felt that they are not my quilts anymore. So I will still take a long time piecing to make perfect and still machine quilt mine myself and I will love them just the same. LOL Koreen
