Wavy lines
I sent a table topper off to a new long arm quilter. When I got it back, my sashing was wavy, and the border was uneven. I worked so hard on this little quilt and really felt it was accurately sewn. Is it possible that it was pulled or stretched by the long arm machine? I'm feeling 😔

If it was straight and square when it went to the longarmer then she may have stretched it. On table toppers and runners I usually try to FMQ linear designs. If I do curvy designs that stitch on the fabric bias, it causes stretch.

I do longarming and I will tell you that just because your quilt lays flat on the ironing board it may not lay flat when you put it on the machine. Borders area tricky thing. Sometimes they are to tight and sometimes they are way loose. Talk to her and see of she thought the borders were loose. It is hard the make something lay flat if it isn't.
