I would stitch your main lines first to connect the target points, then you can "fudge" the in between places and even them out as much as possible.
LAF2019 Your post has given me the impetus to try to machine quilt some of my projects. I thought everything had to be perfect. Your quilt is beautiful, as is the quilting. I feel as if you just opened a cage. Thank you.
