My LAer always has my quilt done to perfection. I've never had one tangle of threads or knots or loose ends. I always clip any threads on my top on both sides and go over it with a lint brush and iron it really well so she gets it in perfect condition and she returns it in the same condition. You should get yours back in the same condition. When you go to pick it up, maybe you should inspect it at her house before you pay for it and leave it there if you see anything wrong with it at that time.
