As for a pucker, I define those as a place where the fabric is slightly caught and gathered together but doesn't actually fold over upon itself. I may have a few of these, but I think much of what you see is just the "poof" of the batting pressing against the fabric where the stitching pulls it taut. When I press down on the fabric in these areas it lays flat by the stitching so I didn't call these puckers either. This is probably only a concern to those of us used to flat quilts, those that like puffy ones are wondering what the big deal is!! ;o). clear as mud??? Anyway that is why I posted the photos so you can judge for yourself if you are thinking of giving them a try. And yes, you have the option of specifying the type of batting (each is priced) or furnishing your own. I also forgot to mention they will also Machine bind if you want (I didn't). I asked them to trim but not bind, but they said they won't trim unless they bind it so mine came Back un-trimmed. Hope that helps!

Jeanne also freely admitted "What I don't like, and it is my fault for not asking in advance, " So no bad mouthing. She worded her pros and cons of the experience equally and fairly and included pictures for each and every one of us to make our own determination. finally she concluded: "I would recommend Happy Crafters for the economical cost and pretty good overall quality work."

Definitely no bad mouthing in this post.
