Repairing old quilts -- help!
i am about to attempt to repair an old quilt with sentimental value. i would appreciate any/all advice or suggestions on what i should/shouldn't do.
i've never used starch, but i'm wondering how much easier this will make repairing it. there are old folds on it from hand quilting, so i'm going to attempt to iron first & then resew the pieces back together. the seam allowances are barely there, so i am considering sewing fancy stitches to make sure the repairs hold. What kind of successes/failures have you had?
