You did a great job. Beautiful quilting. Sometimes those problems happen. (For what it's worth) I have had the same thing happen to me and usually I have put the batting scrim side up instead of down. It is sometimes hard to decide which side is which. Hope this doesn't happen again.

It did turn out nice!

What kind of batting was it? So we can avoid it - - -

Beautiful finish! What batting was it?

the beauty of the quilt was worth the effort put into it.... but I know what you mean..... when you have a problem with it, it is nice to see it gone. Thanks for sharing and even though it was a "pain".. You did a great job!

Sure is pretty, but so sorry it was a pain for you. I agree that it'd be a good idea to supply your own batting (or your own choice of battings) that you know you like to work with, that don't slow your process and cost valuable time.

I do think the choice of inferior batting is large and getting larger.

i do ( and have for years) provided battings; but not everyone wants mine, they find a good sale, or have a coupon and bring their own. Sometimes I switch them out with mine and should have with this one,
oh well, it’s done.

Gorgeous quilting!

Maybe it's pushing the borders (pun intended) of what a LAQ should say, but I'd be tempted to 'warn' the customer about issues you had with that combo. Maybe they will think it's all good and do it again? Also, would it not be fair to you to charge accordingly if it took an extra-long time? (I know that traditionally it's done by the square inch...but) I'm just curious how these things are generally handled.
