Would hate to have it sent back or have the backing changed because of it. I don't LAQ so I don't have first hand knowledge of what problems is caused - but I have read that some will not use them. Just a heads up to avoid possible problems when time to send out for quilting. (And of course, this may not even apply to all sheets...)

I'm a LAQ and I don't have any issues with sheets if they are quality sheets (Higher thread counts) I have used lower thread counts on my own quilts for kids. I don't anymore as they tend to get lil balls of cotton on them when washed, you know like when your sweater needs shaving because of the lil balls.
