Wait a minute, ladies! If your car wasn't repaired so that it worked properly, wouldn't you take it back to be corrected? Or at least, let them know how unhappy you are with inadequate work then go somewhere else? The LA quilter should be told her work was unsatisfactory--no matter how sweet or proud she was. I understand it's uncomfortable to complain, but really... I know of one LA quilter who pulled out stitches from an entire quilt and redone it to the satisfaction of the customer. If the woman is doing the work for money, she should either return the money or redo.
