I...Thankfully, I don't resemble that remark. I'm in this issue, but I don't feel that it's possible to see how much my quilt is quilted. There aren't any closeups of my quilting, just two pics, "on site" and a picture of what it looks from the top. In general, though, I think part of it is that the interest in the form of "modern" quilts has overtaken the function. People want to be seen as "different" from traditional quilts, and so they try doing something they consider to look modern and fresh and new, and in the process have forgotten that the rules for distance between lines of quilting and stitch length are there for a reason. I don't know if this is because there are so many new quilters who haven't had the education about how batting works, or are really deciding to trust the companies who say you can quilt so many inches apart but... the proof will come out in the wash over time, sadly.mandaleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999977102528130703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489391563999320464.post-85889819587026767832013-07-30T07:08:50.150-05:002013-07-30T07:08:50.150-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.mandaleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999977102528130703noreply@blogger.com
