The fabric is actually splitting. I'm sick about it. It was yardage I purchased at JO Ann fabrics for sashing and binding.. Now I am worried about gifting it to my daughter, as had been the plan. One machine wash, I'd be afraid to look!! Do you think it might help with strengthening the seams if I did a blanket stitch over all those seams? It's not the best solution but it might salvage all these hours of work.
