I have read your thread and I am an almost WAW who had an EA with OM over the internet. Even if it did not actually carry over into a PA, I can understand with what you are going through and why you were going back and forth between OM and H and why it is so hard to completely cut it off with OM. We know in our head that is the logical and moral step to take before we can make the M work.....and yet there is something in us that wants to hold to a tiny little thread that connects us with the OM.
There is a new forum for WAW's or almost WAW's. You might want to visit there for some input for others. My thead can be found in the Piecing forum, but I am so glad that a forum for WAS's has started b/c it is hard to come on board and give your story. We are seen as the "enemy" to some hurt LBS, but the majority will come to us and ask a lot of questions to try to make sense of what happened with their own stitch.
It always helps me to find another almost WAW on the board. I hope you will know that I understand and I am here anytime you want to just talk to me or whatever.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
