I had one quilt done by a local longarmer and was so dissappointed when I got the quilt back from her. She said my batting(prewashed cotton) had been punching through the back(wonder if her needle was dull). So she changed out mky batting. The poor quilt looked like punched tim when held up to the light. She said to wash it and it woulod go away. Well, I did not, as I am one who does not like that shrunken look at all. She ruined the quilt for me!
