You will need to iron your top before sending it to the long arm person. It is gorgeous and once it is ironed and quilted it should look perfect.

Will that set in the wrinkles if it's not ironed first? I had hoped to be able to iron it before I sent it.. I apologize for my stupid questions. I only had one top quilted before, so I don't know much. I think I have a pic attached of the top before it was washed.
