Does this mean you find by-the-inch quilting to be not honest? And if so, why? Just curious about your thought process, not trying to pick nits.

If the problem was the fault of the longarmer, then that time would and should be "no charge".
This happened to a friend of mine who had been longarming for about 6 months. Her husband did the "intake" on 2 customer quilts. One was to be panto'd, the other was to be custom quilted. On the form, he wrote the brown one was the custom one. Well, turned out both quilts had a lot of brown, but one was pieced and the other appliqued. She panto'd the wrong one and didn't figure it out until she pulled it off the frame and went to load the second quilt. She paid me to unquilt it and steam it for her, and of course she informed the customer of her mistake. But that was no fault of the customer's, so there was no charge.
