Please don't take offense at what I am about to say since I don't know you or you me, but ---I know a lady who just got a quilt back from the quilter with lots of puckers in it and she carried on and on about the quilter who is a very talented lady and who has done several of my quilts. I insisted she measure the completed quilt and she found that one side was several inches larger than the other side and the length on one side to the other was way off. The quilter had to put some puckers in it to get it to quilt at all. I know a good long arm quilter can work some extra fabric in but this one was way too off to do much with. So in a nut shell I am saying measure the two sides and the two ends and make sure they are reasonably close. If they aren't that could be the problem. Even experienced quilters don't always have the exact same measurements on thier quilts. Please forgive me if this is too rude, I just want you to be aware of the possibility. Sue
