What do I do? The squares are all hand quilted (quilt-shop hop top) to highlight the pattern with machine stitching in the black sashing to make it sturdy. I can vacuum up the big chunks but can't wash it...
Suggestions? I just wanted to cry after the discovery.
I think you're going to have to vacuum up the chunks, finish the quilt and then wash it. May have to pretreat it with something to get the stains out. I'm praying for you though, some pet food stains just don't come out. Keep me posted. We just love our furbabies don't we?
I have done this several times and it worked great.
