Quilting this quilt was hard!

This quilt is a customer quilt, she brought the backing and batting. I had so many problems quilting this. I don’t know if it was the backing, the batting ( which I hope to never have to work with again) or what. 4 needle changes, 3 thread changes, many adjustments and I finally managed to finish it.
She is very happy with it so I guess that’s all that really matters ( and I’m happy to have it gone- took hours longer than it ever should have)
it is pretty.

Nice job and hopefully you will not see the batt/fabric combo again!

That is beautifully quilted in spite of the challenges. The top is very pretty and nicely constructed. I think that if I were a long arm quilter I would take care of the batting issue by supplying, at an appropriate cost, a choice of batting that you find easier to work with. I do think the choice of inferior batting is large and getting larger.
