I saw a quilt top here with a pretty big mistake and wondered if I should private message the person before it gets layered and quilted.
What do you all think? If I am polite in pointing it out privately?
Soon?
Thanks for your advice.
My thoughts on this is pretty simple...if the person has asked for input, then opinion and faults can be pointed out. Otherwise, I don't think you should do either of the above.
When I post a quilt here, I have usually just completed it and excited to share. That doesn't mean that after it is posted, I don't check it. Before I gift it, I give it another close look. The person may find the mistake on their own or at the quilter's after it is posted.
