No argument here! So far I've only done my own quilts, however, one of the members on this board has a quilt in route for me to quilt. My first customer quilt! But, from what I've done so far, & seeing other quilts on other frames, I know of what you speak to be the truth. I know that from quilting on my longarm I've become more conscientious of my own quilting. Your tips & suggestions are right on!
