I just finished a throw size quilt on the longarm after I took it off I saw a pucker on the back, I quilted indivual blocks and this is on an end block should I tear it out and try to replace it or just chalk it up to an experience

Does it really bother you? Is it really as bad as you think it is? Sometimes we are more critical with our own work. Is this your quilt or for someone else? I had a similar situation just before the holidays but it was my FMQ that left the pucker. It was really big but I didn't have time to fix it before I gave it away. After washing it, the pucker didn't look as bad as before washing. Maybe that will be the same in this case. Personally, I would probably leave it and chalk it up to experience. The only person that will know its there is you. It'll be what makes that quilt unique and special.
NOW, with all that said.....I want to see pics!![]()

If it's something that's going to bother you every time you look at it, then go ahead and make friends with your seam ripper. But I can almost promise you that most people will never notice it, especially once it's washed. And as Cil said, we want pictures lol

I am my worst critic. My husband will look at a quilt I made and tell me I should enter it in a show and my response is always that it's not good enough. He thinks I am wacky but I can always find something wrong with it. None of us ever achieve perfection. Like the others said, if it bothers you too much, you should rip it out but no one else will even see it.
I noticed a crease in my daughter's lap size quilt when I rolled it up for the next row of stitching. I couldn't live with it. I spent 10 hours picking out the stitches to get the crease out. Little creases I can live with, but not one that goes across the whole quilt.

Not only will it probably won't be noticed since it's on the back once it's washed, but also remember it will be facing down on the person's lap and that's another reason it probably won't be noticed.
How about if it still bothers you, put a quilt label there - they go on the back anyways and who says where the label has to go on the back anyways? Put it over the pucker!

What if you woke up today and the only things you had were the things you thanked God for yesterday?quilting trish

What you do with it depends on how big is the crease? Is The quilt for you? If not that big, and if it is for you, or immediate family member I would leave it. But then I am not all that into perfection. Good thing too, or I would never finish anything, lol.
