when the fabrics are so fragile that simply poking it with a pin causes it to shred, or when it has so many large holes it can not be taken apart and redone or patched decently.
THere are times when it just has to be photographed and let go!
I believe in saving as much as possible..especially if it has a family history that is documented.
