I might try and guilt trip her into quilting two baby quilts for the guild donation to the hospital.

You would never continue to sew a quilt top if the tension is not right on your machine. If she knew she was having issues she should have corrected them and not continued.
I have be doing long arm quilting for almost three years (Statler by Gammill) and want my customers totally satisfied and happy with the return of there quilts.
I would go back and talk to her, I am certain she knows her work is not acceptable. To make things right she should, frog out all the quilting and stitch it properly.
With that kind of work going out of her shop she will not be in business long. There is nothing better than word of mouth from satisfied customers.
I always go by the "chain theory" for my quilting. Your chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If you have loops and long stitches in the quilting process, they will snag, catch and tear and not last very long.
Go talk to your long arm person and let them know how unhappy you are with her work. You paid good money for less than acceptable work.
Please keep us posted.

If you remain silent, you are telling her that you either approve of what she did, or are afraid to confront her or that it doesn't matter to you. It will also allow her to do this to someone else. By standing up to her you will hopefully save someone else from this situation, as well as get your situation handled. It shouldn't matter who she is or what position she holds. You were cheated and if you let it go, you will be hurting yourself as well as letting her continue to be dishonest. We're pulling for you. As Red

the same thing happened to me but my quilter is a friend . i did mention that it wasn't right but she did nothing about it. I am looking for a new quilter i will never deal with friends again . Friends are hard to come by so i won't lose one for a quilt.
