SueSew I think QIAD employee was not commenting any on the quilting but on the possible showing of the seeds and possible oil from the seeds. I would prefer it to be in the back over the front. I have seen seeds when I put white material on the seed side and will use White and Natural. I have never noticed oil from the seeds. Yes, indeed I am not sure why the quilter kept going if there was a concern. When I had problems with batting provided I contacted the client before starting.
