Has anyone else received complaints recently about throw pillow quality as of late? I have noticed a lot of cancellations of throw pillows as of late. I recently worked on a custom design for a customer to match her living room, and she just messaged me to let me know how happy she was with the design and colors but how disappointed she was with the quality of the pillows:
"I’m so very disappointed in the quality of the pillows. It just breaks my heart. I loved the design, but the pillows are puckered, the corners are more rounded than pointed and my company is coming on Sunday. I’m embarrassed at the quality; these will not be on display. I’m heartbroken that these have to go back!!!!! It’s really too bad. The design was perfect for my couch and colors😢"
In looking at her pictures, I can understand her perspective with the threads, the puckering and the seams not aligning - these don't look like the quality of the pillows I've seen in other clients' photos over the years.
With this information, combined with an unusual increase in cancellations of pillows for me as of late, I'm wondering if other designers have had similar experiences recently.
I appreciate any comments or feedback you may have.

@Amy_Daniels
Thet was very kind of your customer to post back to you about the quality of the pillow. Also good that you posted here as a heads up for all shops and for Z. Hopefully Z will read this and address the issues quickly with that company.

Maybe it's just because the photos are so small but I honestly am not seeing what is wrong with these pillows. It's been years since I've ordered a decorative pillow from Zazzle but I was delighted with the ones I bought. I remember though that they came seriously vacuum-packed so after opening they needed some manual primping to shape & better arrange the stuffing.
