Good points made throughout the thread. I don't quilt for others, except for charity quilts and can definitely see the points made by crashnquilt. I have also worked at a LQS where they did LAQ for others and we would measure and check the quilts, sometimes things had to be taken apart or watched more closely when they were being quilted, especially if the quilt owner requested an automated quilt pattern (the main machine they used had a Statler Stitcher (Gammill) on it.
