Unanchored threads
 

This is the quilt that the longarm quilter left so many un anchored starts and stops. Luckily I think that if I undo some of the stitches at each problem spot (>60) the quilting will still look ok to the untrained eye😏

You did a fantastic job in piecing a beautiful quilt. What a shame the long arm quilter didn't do a perfect job to finish your quilt. Was this the first time you used this quilter? Was she willing to make an adjustment on her charges due to the inferior work she did? Perhaps if you shared the name of the long-arm quilter then others could avoid using the same and not go through all of the extra work you face.

So sad she was so flip about it. If you just cut short threads they will come out.

very pretty

Beautiful quilt...go to another quilter...

I absolutely love your quilt! It is to bad t hat the quilter did and inferior job on the quilting. Lesson learned the hard way. Be sure that your peers know who she is so they don't use here for future work. Beautiful quilt. I can't take my eyes off it.

Beautiful quilt and so sorry you don't have it finished with the quilting. Have you used this long arm quilter before? Hope it works out when you get the binding on.

Your quilt is gorgeous and has such beautiful piecing. I would be very disappointed to discover those quilting issues after all the work you put into it. The quilter should have made it right for you and learned from the mistakes. I hope you can fix it to your satisfaction.

PS: I've experienced that heart sink moment also discovering bad quilting results. The only recourse for me was to take the backing off, replace it, and then re-quilt.Best wishes!

Beautiful quilt! I hope you find a way to fix it, regardless the recipient is going to love it, so happy and cheerful!

Your quilt is a beauty! I read the other thread you posted and it makes me sad that this happened. It seems inexcusable to me.

when I do quilting I try to start and stop off the quilt. If I run out of thread I take back a few stitches to get the bobbin thread pull up and tie the two threads and cut off.

That's a beauty!! Really sorry about the problems you had with the longarmer.

I am so sorry for you. That is a beautiful quilt. I would never use her services again and I would warn my quilting friends. I had one ruined a few years ago..won’t go there again..

Beautiful quilt. Sorry you have to deal with fixing the long armer's unanchored quilting lines. She should give you a refund.

Beautiful quilt.
So sorry to hear about the unsecured stitches... not very professional. Sounds like tying them off will be a nice fall-weather project.

Just a quick thought was your quilt sewn correctly? Sometimes it could be the fabric or the batting combination. If there was a problem the longarmer should have broutht it to your attention. I know we expect the quilting to be perfect every time but it happens . I don't recommend warning others about her quilting

It’s a gorgeous quilt despite the quilting mishaps...

That is a shame. If you paid for this piece to be quilted, you did not get good service or your money's worth. I would consider taking it back and having the long arm quilter make it right to your sanctification. Using that person to work on my quilt again would be up for some serious consideration.

Why not? The longarmer was flippant about the poor quality and did nothing to rectify the situation, which means she will continue to do the same thing. I would make sure everyone knew, so it didn't happen to them.

Had she tried to fix the problem, I would agree with you. But, she didn't.
