ifw.......that's what I thought I was going to do to start with, but after I discovered the applique on some of the flowers needed to be re-sewn as well, I realized that the backing had to be removed or the stitching would show on the back side of the quilt too. humfffff !! Then !!!! I realized if I take the backing off, I would have to remove the hand stitching my mother did to sew the border down. I really did not want to compromise any of the stitching my mom did, as she will never be able to do any hand stitching, or stitching of any kind any more.
I am considering doing some of the applique repairs by hand now. It might not look as good, but at least it wouldn't show on the back side of the quilt.
YUP !!!!! I got a lot of work ahead of me............ :roll: :lol: :?
