Hole in quilt help needed
 

I have 2 baby quilts on my 12' LAQ frame, sitting side-by-side. I'm using a pantograph pattern and I noticed that there is a small hole in one of the quilts, in an area that has been quilted. What should I do? These are my own quilts and I have no idea how the hole got there. It is about the size of the top of a large pin head, so it isn't huge but I want to somehow repair it. How do I do that? The hole is not in a small block of fabric but in a fabric piece that is 4x42".

Thanks,

CJ

Could you applique something over top of it? A small heart perhaps?

I would applique a tiny heart over it. (the voice of experience....lol)

That's what I did too! Actually mine was a dragonfly.

applique anything that would look good

and you can go back and quilt over it if it's that small.... a heart, a word, a ladybug, whatever you can think of...

A heart would work, the pantograph is 'Hearts a flutter' and the baby quilt has some appliqued hearts in the sash this hole is in. Or maybe a flower cause another heart might be too many hearts but I think I can find something to applique there.

Would you do it while it is on the LAQ frame or afterwards?

Thanks!

I'd applique the flower or whatever after its off...easy to have on your lap/table to sew something extra special

If you're not going to fix it on the frame, put a tiny safety pin on the spot so you can find it later to mend. I don't have a LA so I don't know if it is fixable on the frame? A small applique seems to be the way to go. Examine the hole and see if it's a cut or a moth hole. If it's a moth hole you may find others.:(

It looks like a tear and thankfully not a moth hole.

The 2 baby quilts are off the frame and finished. I'll look into an applique --- thanks!
