You can put the ties close together, to help the quilt for stability, and you'll have a good fix to help stabilize the fragile fabric already on the quilt. That, with the new backing, should hold it together well for the future. Put the bindings back on and you're good to go.

DebbE...Thank-you for your suggestion I'm not sure about the ties to just the back? Are you saying just catch the backing and the batting not going through all three layers? Could you possibly explain how to tie a quilt just to the back? This sounds interesting.

What do you use for tying? Embroidery floss or yarn?
