I just started to use my signature quilt that you all had a hand in making... (Again, thank you so very much!!! I love it!) and I just happened to see a tear... I don't know how to fix this without ruining the look, does anyone have any ideas?

The tear... I hope the photo helped!

Is it in the seam? If so, could you sneak a little piece of Steam a Seam in it and then hand stitch like a binding?

Is it torn or did the seam just come lose? Looks like you could turn the lose edge under a little an hand stitch it down. It is a beautifll looking quilt. God luck in making the repair.

Almost looks like to me that it didn't get caught up in the sewing like the fabric slipped.

I think it is the seem. I'll try those suggestions though! Thankfully my friend, who I'm currently staying with, has some thread!
