So sorry this happened to you. I am a LA quilter, and if I see there are going to be tucks, I call the owner of the quilt and explain. I had one quilt the size of yours, and it was the ladie's very first quilt. Her borders were so wavy that I took it upon myself to remove them and fix them. I removed 3 inches from each border once it was fixed. When she picked up the quilt, I gave her a tutorial with samples to explain and she was very grateful. It is our job to educate as well as quilt, in my opinion...but it could also be, in your case, that you were using an inexperienced LA quilter. You must tell her and show her, if for no other reason than to keep it from happening to another customer of hers. I always call the owner when I see a tuck is going to be inevitable, but I can usually see that before I put it on the frame. Michelle
