I need lots of help
I have finished my quilt. I am a ways from my LQS, so I picked up some coats and Clark brown machine quilting thread and stitched my binding on. I use aurifil ~ I washed and dried my quilt. The boards have come out from the binding in a few spots. What do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks for your help.

I would just blind hem stitch the areas that are coming out. I usually do that before I pop the quilt in the washing machine but I do not see why it would not work after washing. Do we get a picture of your beautiful quilt? Congrats on getting another one done.

I think that should read "The borders have come out from the binding". I agree with Annaquilts---just turn under the binding again and stitch those areas closed by hand. Congratulations on finishing your quilt!

It might be that your binding was sewn on the quilt unevenly. If the border is separating from the binding in one place, then I agree, just anchor the border in place.
If it is separating in many places, then create another binding - larger, of course, - and re-bind over the existing binding, but make sure that the border is well secured all around.

I am so glad I don't have to take off the binding. I will stitch it by hand. I was so upset to see this but I guess that's why I wash it before sending it. Here is my Grandbaby's quilt (once I get it fixed)
