Ditto what Prism suggested. I 've done this in the past with great success.

Have you put a quilt label on it? You could patch it and then put the quilt label over the patch. Just an idea.

Oh so sad for you. Fusible is what i would do.

I think the previous suggestions are good ones. The only other idea I have is if you have more of that fabric, you could undo a portion of the stitching of the binding and quilting in that area, cut out the ripped section, use that piece as a pattern to cut the size of the replacement piece (adding seam allowances) and hand piece the new section in. Redo any quilting removed and reattach the binding. So sorry this happened!

Been there. Done that. It worked very well. Even I can't find the spot unless I look very closely.

I would agree with a previous answer. I notice the batting is cut also, or torn.

I would do exactly like Prism99 suggested. When I first started quilting I had a tear almost like yours and that's how my friend fixed my quilt for me. Although I knew it was there, I had a really hard time finding it after she completed the repair and returned the quilt to me.

Perhaps if you haven't put a label on it yet a small one could be the cover up. A cut saying would also work. Love your fabric. Good luck.

I am not sure exactly where the tear is, on the front or back but maybe this would be the best place to put your label with the date and year and your name on it???????

BoNash makes a product to repair holes called "007". Worth a shot.
