I know you asked Bond specifically to respond here in your current topic, as to whether he thought your W might be MLC. I thought I might offer my own perspective.

First, I am curious why you are still posting in the piecing area. Do you feel the two of you are still piecing? You certainly don't have to move to a different area, although piecing is a different process so advice here is likely to be speaking to piecing, when piecing support may be contrary to what you currently need.

That said, let me take you back to a time you probably want to forget. In your first thread, you wrote:

IF your W is/was MLC, then any piecing may have been a false start. Some LBS think that the MLCer wants to work on the M and the MLCer will even SAY so and do some acts to support that, yet they may not be in a frame of mind to really do so.

If your W has reverted and no longer really piecing, is any of this familiar to how things felt when you first arrived at the DB board?

You do not have to close your topic here if you feel you are still piecing, but if you have specific questions and would like support from those who are dealing with or specifically support LBS of MLCers, please don't hesitate to open a thread in the MLC area.
