I have to admit---I too love frey check for these same reasons and I have learned to embellish at the drop of a hat so that I can have a finished project that I am happy with. I make myself repeat this line when I find a screw up~~~"Quilting is fun, is suppose to be fun, find a way to cover it up". I find that most people never see the mistake when you show them the finished project. I also find that good quilting over the questionable area does the job of holding it all together.
