When I first started to do hexies at guild sew days, one member told me she could see my stitches and they were too big. I thought all this work and no one can see it? I got thick thread and made big stitches. It looked amazing. I won first place at state fair, not a quilt, I made a table runner and every stitch could be seen in contrasting floss thread. The stitches were big but even. That was the first and only project I completed doing EPP. Oh the member still told me it wasn't real EPP. LOL I got the ribbon.
