What do you do when the longarm quilting is less than ideal?
I thought I'd join a new group for Quilts of Valor. I had a gorgeous log cabin quilt with an eagle motif in the center ready to be quilted.
So I went to the first meeting and left the quilt with the volunteer longarmer. I just got it back and it's less than ideal.
Some parts of it are "scribbly". A lot of it she went over and over places more than once. But the worst of it is how loose the bobbin thread is. I fear it won't hold up.
There are some loose threads where the quilting just stops.
I almost hate to send it in. I'd hate for some soldier to end up with it and have it fall apart on them.
Should I contact her and let her know she perhaps needs to fix her bobbin tension?
I have no intension of returning to the group since my only reason for going was to have a longarmer. The group meets almost an hour from where I live.
It is so distressing.
