It will be quilted on a longarm. Any immediate or long term issues? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks for any advice.
I was told by the lady that does my LAQ'ing that if you use more than one layer of batting it may not turn out as nice. (It can get bunched up.) I guess with LAQ'ing, the machine is more picky about what it quilts, where if you hand quilt or tie, you are only going to make a hole in your finger!!!!!! (For that I use three Band-Aids!!!!) I use only Warm and Natural. Edie
