On the 4th day of Christmas my longarmer gave to me - the best advice - to double check the block placement, rotation and overall pattern of the quilt prior to handing it over to be longarm quilted. I will look at your quilt prior to quilting, but I am not going to study it for hours and make sure everything is turned / pieced in the correct direction. When I do catch the mistakes, I will notify you ... but sometimes the quilt is already 90% quilted, and there is nothing I can do about it at that point .. so please double and triple check your quilt. My suggestion would to be asking a third party that has never seen the quilt to double check pattern verses quilt top (maybe a friend, husband, daughter, ect.). Another suggestion is to take a picture of the quilt top, it does not have to be a great picture, just enough that you can study it to see if anything is turned.
This also goes for checking the wrong and right sides of fabric - I can't tell you how many white and creamy fabrics I have seen on the opposite side. So maybe a light would help that? Or keeping the fabric in a pile/stack, all right sides up when you are going to piece that one particular block with all the white/cream pieces?
Which leads me into today's deals .. lights and cameras:
