There's a difference between taking your business elsewhere and *intentionally* setting out to put sombody out of business because they made one mistake and didn't do whatever you deem necessary to fix it.
I agree! I don't think its right that the LA quilter has responded to her email about the hole and possibly repairing it. Even if she didn't make the hole, she's still not responding to a customer's concerns and she may be ignoring her completely.

But intentionally setting out to destroy her business over it? Kind of overkill if you ask me. Its my understanding that a good sized quilt costs quite a bit of money to get LA quilted no matter who you go to. She doesn't need to be sued for every penny she has to ruin her business because if she keeps this up she'll destroy it on her own by creating a bad reputation and unsatisfied customers.

So relax people. It is unfortunate that the quiilt came back with a hole in it and the LA quilter hasn't really responded to the issue, but there is no need to put this woman's head on a platter over it. She isn't the only LA quilter in the world. I'd just go someplace else and have my work done there. Isn't it enough that this LA quilter will be out one customer as well as decent chunk of money to work on future quilts?
I agree with you. But, I would let the other quilters in the community know of my experience. She will sooner or later (from the sound of it, sooner) will shoot own herself in the foot!
I have repaired small holes in garments and other items by ironing a small applique bought from wally world over it. Looks beautiful and no one knows the difference.
