I started talking to a therapist and she told me that I was trying too hard to make everything perfect and since I was a human being that would be nearly impossible. She suggested that every project I did from there on out had to have an imperfection built in by me, on purpose. That was the hardest thing I ever tried to do, but now it's really easy for me. I don't even have to think about it anymore. If something is not perfect, I shrug my shoulders and move on. My self esteem still has it's problems, but it's one of my imperfections and I'm good with it now!<br />I really like your stars.

Kept tweaking it without success. I finally hit upon increasing the pressure of the presser foot (try saying that 3 times quickly!). Bingo! My stitches evened out as nice as could be.
