I agree with Debbie, I long arm, and if there is a place where I am not happy with, that shows up, I rip out just that and even on my short arm, can stitch to make it better. If shet hates the whole quilting then rip it out, however every time you rip out, it can distort the quilt. Please don't wash it until after it is requilted it, due to the shedding of the seam allowances. I find that since the fabrics were not pre-washed, once it is washed, the quilting doesn't show up as much, since the quilt is poofier. This is a huge job. If there are eyelashes on the back, definitely rip out from the back since the back tension was too tight. Hope this helps.

Or you could add some stitching to what's already there, especially around the squares where the quilter just stopped quilting. As for the jagged stitching, that could be removed and redone. It will save a lot of time vs. picking out all the quilting.
