Default quilter dilemma

On the blog here for Sept. 9:

What a bad situation. I am glad I don't send my quilts out but for those
that do communication is a big deal.

Default quilter dilemma

Well, Taria, I just don't know. I even searched Sandy Klop American Jane to
see what that collection looked like. The quilts are so similar, maybe the
longarmer couldn't tell - but if she could not, she surely needed to phone
and ask. Louise has spoiled me; her skill, choices and talent always just
knock my socks off. Polly

Perhaps if she had bundled the top and backing together for each
project it would have been different.

Personally, I cannot see there is a big difference in the fabrics.

Just my two cents,

I picked up a quilt once where I had instructed the quilter to use
Quilters Dream
poly as I had my heart set on a puffy quilt. I got it back and it was
the very flattest
of the cotton battings. Otherwise the quilting was absolutely stellar.
I blamed
myself because I gave verbal instructions and did not write down/pin
to the quilt
what I wanted. I never mentioned it to the quilter. So, it depends I
think upon
how clearly she instructed the quilter. You can never have too many
notes
pinned to a quilt. :-)

Second boo-boo, though, I still chew on wondering what went wrong. The
backing had a seam. I wanted the seam to NOT be up-and-down the
length of the quilt. I wanted it to be side-to-side. So I wrote the
instructions:
"Seam is horizontal, please" Which TO ME, meant: when you look at the
quilt as if on the bed, the seam is....a horizontal line. She got it
wrong.
The seam was vertical, up and down. I still wonder how I should have
said it.

Default quilter dilemma

I asked my long-arm quilter friend, and here's her reply:

"Yes she should DEFINITELY let the quilter know of the mistake. Then I
think I'd let the quilter suggest a compensation. My experience has been
that the quilter will offer her more than if she suggested a solution.
Unfortunately, the quilter is the last to know about an error. I really
want to know if someone isn't happy because I may (or may not) be able to
correct it or at the very least learn from it. "
