I'm getting ready to bind my quilt- that I sent out to a long arm quilter to quilt, and I just held it up and saw light come through. Why? what can I ask for/say the next time? It's not noticeable on this quilt, unless you hold it up in front of a light and look at it, and this is just for me, so I'm not going to get upset about it. But I want to know what to say or ask for next time.
This happened to a quilt I gave to another long arm quilter, and the perforation look was really noticeable and she didn't say anything. so I no longer use her and went to someone else for my next quilt. no perforated look with my last one- but this one, yes.
thanks so much!

Totally agree--besides, your safety pins will create holes the same way. With your long armer, maybe ask for a thinner thread, not a cotton or variegated, that would use a smaller needle. But a quick spray of water and allowing to dry will likely close them up.
