She has great turn around about a month so I can't complain there.

Do I give her another chance, find someone else. I have seen other quilts she's done and they don't have issues.


The back of the one that is really bad has a plaid pattern so the poor tension issues don't scream and a non-quilter wouldn't notice it. I will try and get pics posted this week.
Sounds like she is NOT a Long Arm Quilter -If 2 out of 4 quilts aren't right - I would find someone else - I am sure she charged you a pretty penny to quilt them - Quilting makes or breaks the quilt - great turn around time is not the issue, it is the quality of her work - Which doesn't seem to be that great.
