. Take a deep breath. It's not as bad as you think. Take a piece of muslin and dampen it and press it over the lettering let it dry. If it still needs more wrinkles taken out of it press again. It will be fine. Pressing is as important in sewing as stitching. I did stuff like that for over 40 years.
Believe me working on wedding gowns at a $1,000 and more pop makes one very creative.

I picked it up today and was very disappointed in the work done on it. It's not like me to complain so before anyone asks, no I didn't say anything to the people there at the shop.
I took the top to my quilt shop to ask the ladies there what my options were. (I had brought the top to them but they only knew one person who did embroidery for people but she had recently had surgery so wasn't working) They said either rip all the lettering out and have someone else redo it, or try and quilt tightly in the banner area to even out the puckers. It makes sense that those are my only options, but does anyone possibly have any other ideas? This is a gift so I want it done right. I know an embroidery shop that I won't be doing business with again. :(

i know the quilt police will probably come and arrest me for this but....how about a little strong starch and just a bit of stretching. we use the stretching thing alot as i am a bigger woman and live in a house of men that have tried to help and thrown a bunch of my clothes in the dryer and shrunk them so they usually get another go around in the washer and hung up to dry. i am sorry about the crappy job but i def would take it back and talk to the owner and let them know you are VERY displeased with the work and see if they can fix it owner may not be aware of prob if she is not the only person there.
