I have been working on a laptop throw, much of which was pieced together. I haven't got the courage up to quilt it yet, so keep moving it from the ironing board to the bed when I need the ironing board.
Any how.... I found a loose seam. One of the main blocks in the middle let loose. There's 1.5" loose seam. I must have sewn it too close. There is no way I can take this quilt apart and fix "that" square. I put some glue on it and intend to topstitch over it when I quilt.
That topstitching is going to stick out!
Is that ok, or what else can I do?

can you tuck some fusable behind it? also there is a product called liquid stitch that would be a permenent bond to hold it. the top stitching will only stick out if you only top stitch that one piece- you can quilt it to look like the rest.

Amish to me suggests simple like square in a square? It sounds like yours is more involved than that. Is there any way you could do black bias for stain glass effect or black outline on one side for shadow effect? Hard to think of ideas without seeing a picture. Perhaps a few carefully placed appliques?

I marked it so I quilt over it. I hope that will work.
