I would talk to the longarmer you will be chosing. Each person that quilts has thier own opinion on what they will and will not do. I have done quilts that are not perfect and they turn out just fine. If the boarders are wavy....if it's not to much, quilting will just take it right out and it will all blend in just fine. I just redid an old quilt that we had here from YEARS ago. It has fans all over it. Because of how the fabric stretched, I couldn't get the fans completely flat, but I quilted inside the fans and got them to look good. I had no problem experimenting on my own quilt...lol. So you should defiantly talk to your longarmer to see what he/she says.
