But I feel like there's not a huge difference visually between 3 and 4 so it's definitely interesting that the judges noticed!saroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524822638412099621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290439243686089081.post-50339960548649656742017-06-29T08:18:28.488-07:002017-06-29T08:18:28.488-07:00Way to go!!

Stitch length to me is a personal choice, but interested how it was highlighted here. As I'll never have a quilt in a show to be judged, I'll be lengthening my stitches at will!! Congrats again on an amazing quilt. <br />rstogetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557345081389532249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290439243686089081.post-24058683165877317002017-06-29T03:16:00.970-07:002017-06-29T03:16:00.970-07:00This is really interesting Krista, and the comment...This is really interesting Krista, and the comments on your other piece. I can't believe how fixated they are about stitch length, but will also bear that in mind for a competition quilt I am planning to straight line quilt - I usually use 3.5 but am wondering whether I should make it 3 just to be on the safe side :D Both your quilts are amazing BTW!myBearpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513624290881481351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290439243686089081.post-10797808161811218852017-06-28T22:47:03.873-07:002017-06-28T22:47:03.873-07:00Yay you!

Although I'll never enter a quilted piece in a juried show, it's nice to know what is looked for and is something for everyone to strive for. I'm so glad you shared.

I'm curious what they would have said, but I'm certain i would have gotten comments about my stitch length too! i also set my machine at about 4, shorter stitches feel like they're cutting into quilts somehow, i never like them.amy damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147616185803446276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290439243686089081.post-78787169810397567492017-06-27T22:21:40.621-07:002017-06-27T22:21:40.621-07:00Love the positive feedback on your design and colo...Love the positive feedback on your design and color use - I wholeheartedly agree! ;-) Interesting they all commented on stitch length.
