By all means if your not happy tell your quilter, ask for refund.
I am so glad to see this topic finally come up. Most long armed quilts could stand up in the corner by themselves! Just because you can quilt so heavily doesn't mean you should. This seems to be a growing trend since the advent of so many long arm machines and renders the quilts too stiff to feel cozy.
