Actually, this is perfection in my book! In looking at your photos, it appears that the second hooping may be off by 1/8 of an inch...or less! So what? That's going to be pretty hard to correct for if you are using a home machine. What is this "plastic thingy" that you are using? Is it a centering tool?

I do have a question about the design you are stitching. I notice that there is a line making a box around each quarter part of the design. I assume that that is a basting stitch? It just looks too dense to be basting. I don't normally see those lines in that design on quilts. I bet if you removed them and your marking lines, you'd see this in a different light. Of course, if you are just using this for practice, you could get a box of those crayons and start coloring too...! Yes, I am a quilter at heart and have learned a lot about problem solving over the years. I enjoy and mostly do hand quilting. I don't think there is any such thing as an ugly bride, baby, or quilt!

Looks like you have to be so precise on measuring. Is this like lining up a split design?

Thank you very much for sharing. You are an inspiration and your pictures give us a real idea of how it is done. I haven't tried anything like it yet but possibly will now.

Oh my goodness this is really nice. You will have a beautiful quilt soon. You are doing something that is hard to me that is knowing where something comes together and the lining it up to get there.
