You are a quiltmaker, for sure.
Afterall, (say it along with me, folks) "It's YOUR quilt!"

All of my work is extremely flawed! I haven't been quilting very long, and see every mistake. Even tho I'm not overly happy with them, I know the more I do, the better I will get. You should see the first quilt top I attempted to make for my DGD, it was my first time quilting. I was so unhappy with it that it has never been finished! Boy, have I learned so much since then! Just keep quilting.

I have the same problems. I think I enjoy quilting too much to take so much time to do it perfect. I want to create and not spend months doing it.
However, I have found a product that helps when putting the layers together and quilting thorugh them.
It is a adhesive spray. Completely repositionable. disappears after first washing, but holds layers together well enough that they don't shift while you are quilting (even machine quilting)

I love *505* spray. Couldn't find my can the other day and had to go buy a can of June Taylor Spray. Cheaper yes, but Yuk, hate the smell. If I had to pin my quilt sandwiches together instead of spray basting...I think I would find another hobby. Quick..Easy..Done is my motto! :lol:
