I have been on a rag quilt kick lately...probably due to all the babies soon to be born. I'm new to making these, and I've been having an issue with some of the seams coming undone after I wash the quilt. They are easy to repair, but obviously a pain to do and it makes me worry about what will happen after the new owner washes it. Anyone have any ideas why this keeps happening, and what I can do to prevent it? Should I sew twice around the outer perimeter or use a zigzag next to my straight stitch? For the most current blanket, I increased the seam allowance, shortened the length of my straight stitch, and was very careful to snip small, but am afraid to give this a wash. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
