Fullness Disclaimer:
Fullness and/or puckers within a quilt and its borders
cannot be quilted out. We can not guarantee that
puckers and tucks wont be sewn in. In some cases
excessive fullness in borders may result in the quilt
corners not being square. The flatter your quilt top is,
the better the finished quilt will be.
Mechanical Disclaimer:
Please be aware that sewing machines including
longarm machines are mechanical devices. Although
we do our utmost to ensure perfect results every time,
on very rare occasions mechanical problems can occur
which may cause minor damage to a quilt top, backing
and/or delays in the completion of your quilt.
