Oh my gosh!

i saw somewhere that if you use color pens to match the quilt top where holes are it helps hide the ripped out stitches with just filling it in with small dots of ink

Wow, I've learned quite a bit in this thread and I didn't ask the question. Thanks everyone.

Even just a little spritz with water will get rid of those marks...if you don't want to wash it ;)

Washing it gently will remove the needle wholes. Cotton has a memory and this will erase that problem.

spritzing with a wrinkle release product does the trick most of the time. I buy mine from Dollar General or Family Dollar for about $1.50.

Spritz of water and a soft toothbrush have worked for me. good luck.

Either wash it, or spray water on the holes, then dry it.

Washing and drying should do it.

Even though you are unhappy about the needle holes, be glad she took out the offending rows. Think how much angrier you would be if she had left it?????? Wash and dry the quilt, it fixes a multitude of sins.
