When the quilt was given to the quilter it was perfectly square(the quilter commented on that). It has pinwheels, appliqued animals and shashing. The sashing since being quilted is no longer straight, the applique animals are puckered, the quilt is no longer square. As a fellow quilter I couldnt believe the condition it came back in. So my question to you is. Should she ask for the money back from the quilting. I say yes. Should she ask for the money that it is going to take to replace the fabric? What would you suggest she do?? Thanks

I had a simular problem and I said I either wanted the money back or she was to redo it, well she took it all out and redid it.....but it still came back in such a bad state that I am taking it out again and will have it done somewhere else. So get a refund and have it sent to another quilter.

I'm of the opinion that many longarm quilts are over quilting. I think it is fine for show quilts, most aren't going to be used, but quilts for use should not be quilted to this extreme. This can cause them to get out of wack because the quilting is not done evenly. The quilt it self and it's use should dictate how much quilting it needs. Of course this is my opinion.
By all means if your not happy tell your quilter, ask for refund.
