Take it back and tell itneeds to be redone.show her want you see .and tell her you would like to have it done over or get your money back.

I am so sorry this has happened. The first thing I would do is have a discussion with the LAQ, about returning the money that was paid for this job. I think she should also reimburse you for the backing fabric. I would take it apart and wash the backing fabric. Sometimes the small holes will close, but I have my doubts as to whether you can reuse this fabric.

Your picture is greatly enlarged and so the holes and stitching are greatly exaggerated in the picture. Still, there is a tension problem here that should have been addressed early on in the quilting process. The holes which look so large in your picture are from the machine needle and usually close up when the quilt is washed. I wish you had posted a real size picture along with the close-ups. Talk with the LA quilter and see if she/he can redo this for you before Christmas-there is still time, you should be their first priority right now.

Definitely get your money back and use another LA er

I think the only ways to fix it are to either take out all of the stitching and start over or add a false back as suggested by others. Personally, I would work something out with the LAQ to have it taken out and redone. I think, like others have said, that the holes from the needle will be fine after the quilt is washed.

And the stitches are horribly inconsistant. Putting on a false back would only make the back look better. The stitches on the front will still be off. I think the weave of the backing looks loose because of how close up the pics are.

I can't even see her sending such bad work back to you. You should get it redone or your money back.

Rather than try to hurry a fix for it, maybe you could take a picture of the quilt front & enclose it with a card for your intended recipient for Christmas? Then deal with getting it fixed without feeling so frazzled about a time restraint?
