If the quilting itself is satisfactory and the quilt is finished/bound, then toss it in the washer. Between the washing and drying, most of the needle holes will close up on their own....nothing to fret about.

I am just guessing, but if you are the long armer in question, and it is your quilt, mark it with a chalk so you can find it again, and try some or all of these hints after it is off the frame, in the mean time just quilt peacefully. Breathe. Now, if it is a small tear, you can borrow my fix. I keep a small supply of purchased embroidered appliqués to use to hide accidental "design decisions" (I got the idea from the patches I put on my DD clothes, she was a tomboy). I have also placed the label strategically as part of the design. (I seem to be a clumsy quilter......lol!

I buy them in them in bags at most fabric stores. Most of the time they are iron on, but I iron them on, then use my machine set on '0' to tack them with matching or contrasting thread hidden in the design to make them permanent.

Good luck, and let us know?

When I remove basting stitches after long arming a quilt I use a toothbrush I keep solely for this purpose and a bit of water (if necessary) to rub any needles marks away, some fabrics show them and some don't. If you have actual holes or rips in your quilt I'd contact the person who quilted it and have a serious talk with her.

I don't think there's any heart break here. It sounds to me like the quilter unstitched and missed closing these holes up for you. What I usually do is rub them in different directions with a clean damp washcloth. Relax. Nothing is wrong.

I quilt my own quilts so I am always happy with the results.
I use a lint roller to remove any fuzz or loose threads. I always wash and dryer dry my quilts after sewing on the binding.

I am unclear - are these needle holes?

Or are they rips and tears?

spritz with water- the place in dryer om low-med heat - this has "closed" the needle holes for me

OMG! Looks like you have a lot of suggestions - hope your problem can be satisfactorily solved. (Even in quilting, sometimes we must learn from heartbreak!!)
