How important is it to have all the squares on a rag quilt be perfect?

Amanda & Tom asked:


Meaning…after I sew them together the rows seem to be a little off. No matter if I pin them or take my time going very slowly I seem to always have a row or two that are off.

I am not using a walking foot and am not sure if it will make a big difference. Anyone know? I don’t want to make a huge investment if it won’t help.

If you were going to purchase a rag quilt, would you care if the seams were not perfect?

      For yourself id buy several.
      For yourself id say that it absolutely does not matter is if was highly priced would not purchase it would not purchase it was being sold at very reasonable low price and the seams were still cool quilts and that it was being sold at very reasonable.

      Most people will not buy quilts , if it’s not Perfect. People are very Picky when it comes to buying crafts. If they wanted sloppy work then they could do it. People expect crafters to be held to a higher standard.
