There is just one layer of stabilizer. The ladies at my quilt store said more should have been used, and said the tension was too tight. Also said something about digitizing the font, or something like that? I don't do embroidery so don't know the "talk". :)
I'm really trying to decide between hoping it quilts out, or just cutting this piece out of the top and putting another banner on. If I go with doing a new banner, I don't know where to take it to get embroidered. I'm worried this will just happen again.
But like a few others mentioned, I told my husband I was amazed these people could send this top back to a customer, surely knowing what a terrible job they did.
If you decide to cut and replace the banner .. Take the fabric that you will use and have someone embroider the pattern on it before you sew it onto the quilt.. Fussy cut the embroidery piece and sew into Quilt…. Hope you get what am trying to say. Good Luck
I would make sure that who ever embroider this mess knew what I though and have them make amends for it. They IOU big time.
