It makes a BIG difference if you are having your top quilted on a long arm. If your seam is vertical, each time the quilt is rolled, the section where the seam is located become,es thicker and thicker, resulting the top being very loose on each side of the seam, resulting in puckers and uneven quilting. If your top is being quilted on a domestic or sit-down machine (no rollers) then it really will not impact the quality of your product.
