I was working on this quilt for my son for Christmas and during the quilting I turned it over and aaccckk!! I had gotten too far and the only option I can see it to pick everything out and start over - - which I can't see myself doing. too much picking and too little patience
Does anyone know any tricks?
There are 2 spots and the one spot is worse than the other - but they are both bad news

The ones at the edge I would take out the border and redo. I had a patterned back with a pleat once and I pinned one side and pressed with my iron towards the pins until the backing was flat with a pleat in the backing. I then used an invisible layer stitch to stitch the pleat down hiding the extra fabric. You can’t even see it but it would be more noticeable with a plain back. If you can get most of it fixed, put the label over the worse spot?
