I agree with everything you just said. My Longarmer told me about a lady who started quilting for others and did such a bad job that people came to her and asked her to tell the women to quit ! My longarmer is 82 years old and has been doing this for over 30 years, does a fantastic job. She could tell some stories too. Thanks for your information, I will try and follow through the next time I take a quilt to Marie.
