Sewing Fabric to Crochet? Help!
My cousin has a pair of beautifully ornate afghans crocheted for her by her grandmother. She wants a good way to "preserve" the afghans, and she has asked me if I would sew them into a quilt somehow.
This seems like a great idea, but everything I have found only suggests hand-sewing fabric to crochet, or actually crocheting the two together. Is there a way this can be done with a sewing machine??
Obviously we can't cut the afghan apart, so the idea is to make kind of a throw that will see gentle use from the back of her couch. Maybe sewing a border around each afghan, then sewing the two together.
Better yet.. how the heck would I quilt this thing? The crochet stitches are tight, but the batting would still show through.
