I totally agree! My mom is a long arm quilter and she has shown me some tops that just will not lay flat. They are hard to quilt and have them look good. Yes, extra charges should be charged if the quilter has to do more than just quilt. The people who are patiently wiating for their turn should not have to wait any longer than they have to. for thiers to be finished.
