    i paid a long armer a goodly amount for quilting a nice log cabin I had made. And when I got it back it had 4 or 5 tucked quilted in the back, that ran for several feet each. She made no adjustment to her hefty price. At least you did not pay someone to put tucks in!

    I have had that happen, I just give it away and don't worry about it, the top always looks great, that is the most important.

    My grandmother always said "if you have to rip it out you'll wear it out".
