I just had one quilted by a very good person last year and on the back side it was pleated in places, looked awful, front was great. It took me 3 months to carefully unpick the threads. I found that by doing it from the bacstitck worked better and in places where it does a tie off stitch, go inside and carefully clip it so you don't get holes. Mine is now ready but this time I will do it myself on the Tin Lizzie.
