Honestly, I am embarrassed to give this to the LA. It's terrible.
You really should not give it to your long arm quilter without trimming all those loose threads. I've not had it happen to me, but I understand sometimes those loose untrimmed threads on the quilt back can get snagged up with the quilting thread and needle, causing a tear in the quilt top. Longarm needles are strong, and they stitch lightening fast, so I believe it. Mine stitches down flat flower heads on pins like they're not even there.
