Bummer! I would want it fixed if I were buying it.

I see the mistake as being so obvious. You might need a new person for your LA quilting in the future.

[QUOTE=Dina;7301141]Okay,
even after all the above your client may not want it after it has been fixed. So sorry for you a really difficult dilemma.
good luck. I'd quilt from the reverse where you can see the old quilting lines.

I find it interesting that so many feel that the quilter should have found the error. The quilter's job should be to focus on the quilting. Granted, it is always easier to find errors in someone else's work, but do we really want to put that responsibility on someone we are paying to concentrate on the quilting?

actually...i like it too! I had to look at the quilt 2-3 times before I even caught it. Tell the buyer that it is Amish! . Really, it is unique and modern-fun!

You said that the buyer is fine with it. HOORAY! Why are you putting yourself through this. Deliver the quilt, collect the $$$ and let this go! Geeee

i agree! Why are we pointing the finger at the quilter. They did not piece the quilt. Sheesh!

My question is why didn't your long arm quilter see it and call you to ask about it first before quilting it? Even if it was already on the frame, she should have done it. Would have saved you time and effort. Best to get the ripper out.

So sorry for you.....you must be heartbroken. However, it is a beautiful quilt. Hope whatever the result is, you are okay with it.

I've been told a mistake is part of the quilting process. I know, I have a couple/2-3 that I have messed up(made a mistake). I even agree with Dina comment(quilt unique) Don-isewman

I too would be sick over this that I would have to remake it the quilt and take the loss. I agree it is not the responsibility of the long arm person she isn't the one who made the goof. She may have even thought it was there on purpose.
