Your disappointment is why I did not send out my dolly ( avitar) out.. I put so much love and energy in her.. I was afraid.
The long arm quilters are a wonderful huge group of quilters. Amazing stuff comes from them..
I just wonder as your posts shares,... paraphrased .. "I would have picked a tighter quilt design" something like that.. So sorry with your disappointment. It would be a very sad day to pick up your paid and waited for loved pieced quilt.
Good luck.. maybe more talking as to your hopes on the design.
I so get this.. I chanced my own FMQ on Dolly rather than send her out..
Good luck.. Don't give up on those that work hard with their own equipment. I do hope the next time you send something to another for quilting, you will have great success !
