In these days of the Statler Stitcher, not as much attention seems to be paid to the little things. My daughter, when long arming, without a stitcher, was often checking both sides of the quilt for imperfections.
After I put my best in a quilt, I do not want a careless person to ruin it. I do not know what the answer is, but until then we will have to be choosy in picking a long armer. Too bad, because we do pay good money to have our treasures quilted.
