SM it concerns me that you take some advice out of context or twist some of the words. I have seen you do that when making references to various posts from other threads. I suppose anyone can misinterpret or misunderstand advice in the light it was given. And it would concern me that the advice you would read that was given to another board member should be applied to your stitch as well. Sometimes it may be advice that most people could apply, but usually we have to tweak it for our own personal stitch. So now you have suddenly cease posting at such a critical time in your R and i think most of us get concerned and want to hear from you.

I hope you took the advice to get C or into a good program to help your M.

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!
