Help with repair
 

I could just cry. As I was ironing this top in preparation for quilting, I saw this piece that is not completely sewn in (see picture). Please help-how can I fix this?? Taking it out is not feasible. Do I try to hand see it in, glue, fusible, see a piece over it, what are my options? Thank you in advance for any help, I’m so upset.

Actually anything you can do to make it stay together is better than nothing. If you want it to stay better I would hand sew that piece or see if you can just run that over with quilting stitches zigzag stitch over that whole row a few times to make it look like a quilting line. You could spray ahdesive it first and then do either or all of the above. It has happened to all of us at least once.

Do you have another square of that fabric? I’d turn under edges & appliqué a replacement on top of it. It will ever be noticed once it is quilted.

I did that with a hole I put in one of my tops with my long-arm when I oops when I first got it. I actually pieced together scraps of the two adjacent fabrics. (I luckily found the right scraps as I had made the top a few years back). I then just appliqued that patch to the quilt....I can find it if I look really hard, but I never had anyone else point it out.

Thank you for your responses. I’m starting to feel like I can fix it. I DO have more of that fabric, so I’m going to try these wonderful suggestions, one or more of them is sure to work.

do what vaquiltgal said. No one will ever notice. It happens to all of us one time or another.
