The quilts I picked up at the yard sale have some small repairs needed. There are a million tiny pieces in the one, lol, and some of them have come unsewn between the triangles. I have very carefully gone over the entire quilt, and put a small safety pin anywhere I found loose stitches.
I will be the first to admit I cannot do handwork to match what is in this quilt, so am going to take it with me to the store, match the threads as closely as I can to the colors, and sew it on the machine. Yes, I know it will show up on the back, which is white. But I have a question.
What would you think if I place a piece of fusible interface between the batting and the material and iron it in place before I sew it on the machine. Would that make a stronger repair? I take good care of my quilts, and want these to last a lot longer than they already have. There is so much hard work in them already, and I want the quilts to outlast me.
