This long arm quilter needs to know that her work is unacceptable! Ifnyou feel that younare not the one to tell her, then maybe the ones that recommended her could tell her. But what's the worst that could happen- you've already paid her. She might get upset, but in the long run she will thank you( or should ). 13 pages of replies and you've gotten a lot of different advice. In the end, you have to do what's right and right for you. If you rip, i suggest a lighted magnifing glass. It is wonderful for picking out tiny stitches- you can really see them. I use mine all the time when FMQ and i mess up. Michael's carries them. Good luck
