Just finished a quilt and washed it. When to sew a name label on and saw several holes in the quilt. Just small ones but frayed around them. I don't know what happened,. I have made many quilts and I use good fabric, Any ideas what I did or happened. Joyce
|
can you post pictures? is it that the seam allowance let go, or are the holes in the middle of the fabric?
|
several small holes in various places. They are not in seams. I hand stitched them closed..
|
How frustrating. I hope you figure out what happened.
|
could the safety pins have caused it? That is how I put the layers together. I have never had it happen before.
|
I would almost want to wash it again to see if it continues. It would be a shame to have it happen down the road if you are giving the quilt away. They might not know how to repair them.
|
good idea So much time and money in it. I am scared to see.
|
Were you using basting pins ? But I wouldn't think even regular safety pins would cause that problem. So sorry you are having this problem :?
Are the holes in just one of the fabrics or different fabrics on the quilt ? |
the holes are in two of the fabrics. They were top quality and new, I have used pins before and never this problem,.
|
I am so sorry :( Did any of the pins feel like they were snagging when going in or out of the fabric?
