Working and fixing
I have two of the clothing quilts done, and just need to bind the second one. While I was quilting, my hopping foot went into a buttonhole of one of the shirt strips and created havoc on the quilt. Extricating it after it sewed itself into the quilt was a challenge, but I finally got it out. Unfortunately, it also made a rip in the backing, too. I finished the quilting (of course, this happened on the last row of the quilting) and once off the machine, made a patch and fixed the rip in the backing. Then, I put it back on and re-quilted the area where the patch is. When these unexpected things happen its always a bummer, but with a bit of extra TLC, the quilt can be fixed.
I also had the finished first quilt, so took the pics for you. All three quilts will have the same fabric on the back, and the same binding fabric.

Its comforting to read how you matter-of-factly fix a problem that would completely devastate me to the point that I would not be able to finish the quilt.
ReplyDeleteWell...it has to be done, and I can't turn back time and not make the mistake, so why fret over it? All fixed and ready for a new home! I really do like fixing quilts anyway...
