I hate ripping out free motion quilting. Why oh why didn't I stop IMMEDIATELY when I didn't like the way my quilting looked? Lesson to self--STOP--when you don't like the way something looks. It will not get better!!! I was using Coats and Clarks Polyester Embroidery thread. It looked too fine or something to me. Now here I sit with seam ripper in hand. Some of these stitches are so small they are practically impossible to remove. WILL NOT make this mistake again. Coffee, seam ripper, Good Morning America and me. Should be finished in a few years........................And the stitching only covers about half of a 12 inch block.
