It's been this guilty little temptation teasing me all weekend! I don't think I even mentioned it to my sister-in-law, who I share a sewing room with. Maybe I'll give it a try on one of the smaller spots!

Think about the time it takes to make a little sample, try out the markers, heat set them, wash and dry them.......you'd have all those less than perfect areas resewn before you did all that!!!! C9P

I didn't know it wasn't supposed to show at all.........lol that is why i call it ssid........(somewhat stitch in the ditch) Never bothered me that some of the stitches show. I will never be able to completely stay in the ditch. The one i am doing now is black and white and i used black thread to sid but it does show on some of the white and i asked my gd if it mattered to her and she didn't know what i was talking about..........

Been there and done that...use the pen : ). this is a baby quilt not an heirloom project right? Don't beat yourself up. I have the most fantastic wall hanging of a pumpkin. The handle fabric did not thrill me after I finished so I took achival pens (acid free) and changed the fabric to suit the project better.
