Thanks for your replies. I am more than half-way on my journey of Un-quilting. It's not a terrible process. I am learning a great lesson and gaining a little knowledge about quilting and myself. So win-win!

My original posts asked a question about the long-arm process. It was never about addressing the issues with the original quilter. As I mentioned the issues will be addressed personally at a later time. I will see her in the next week or two and we will chat. It is not an urgent matter.
I had to give myself some time and distance with the matter and needed to consult with other quilters first. This was a new situation that I haven't experienced before and wanted to gather my thoughts first.
At this time, I am not requesting anyone else to do the un-quilting. It is intensive and a project that could have additional mishaps. It's not a project to delegate to others.
The issue of the fold was pointed out to me by the quilter. I thought it would be an easy fix that I could live with and the quilting also appeared fine. After careful consideration I made the decision to fix the error. I am not a "live with it" girl. The setback just adds a little "grit and grace" to my quilt and I will love it even more.
Again,thanks Everyone! I appreciate your helpful tips and comments on the long-arm process. I feel that I can now "gracefully" provide valuable feedback to the original quilter and help her in her quilting journey too.
When the quilt is finished, I want to see love and grace in it and not an un-happy experience.
Thanks Everyone!
