    Default I'm out of sorts!

    I've been using this longarm quilter for several years with no problems,
    but I sat down to attach the binding and look what I saw. Trimmed down to the points rather than 1/4" allowance.
    Maybe I have too much time on my hands if I'm cross about it...but...rats.

    Oh how frustrating! All your hard work and accuracy is lost along the edges.
    Wellll, they say only God is perfect. Your perfect edges were trimmed down as a simple of your humility. =)
    Just trying to make light of it, sweetie. I know you are not happy about it.

    OMG .... I really feel for you on this.
    After all your hard work and to have it totally ruined.
    Sadly not much can be done at this point to fix all those missing points.

    Don't let it go by the way ... if close enough drive right back and discuss IRL.
    Otherwise, call and find out what and why.
    At the least, her FMQing should be rebated to you.
    However, there is a huge loss in the fabric costs and your labour.

    ..... talk to her and see what can be worked out.
    Good Luck!

    I would let her know you're not happy. That is so disappointing!

    why would she trim it in the first place? she wasn't going to bind it. ask her. hopefully she will have a good answer, otherwise, find another long armer. Go ahead and finish it, it will not look that bad. it just frustrating.
