This is a serious question.
I think it is sometimes too easy to set up as a LA quilter without the experience or knowledge. I only do a few quilts for others and always make sure they know that even after having my machine for 21months I still consider myself a novice on a steep learning curve for anything other than simple meandering. Good luck with your quilt I hope you get it fixed and let us know the outcome
