I've done what RST suggested using FreyChek.

Or you could always do a wider binding and just go over the binding you already have. I would be worried about the fabric, both where the "oops" is and elsewhere, fraying and falling apart. With the way that fabric seems to be fraying, I would probably make a 3.5" binding and go over the binding you already have on there.

I have had this happen several times. I rip out the stitches, trim the quilt and resew. I know it is a lot of work but well worth it in the end.

I applique a butterfly there --it would look like it was flying to the flowers. It would be much easier to fix that way.

Have you thought about putting the quilt label over this space? I would still 'secure' the fray area with an iron on interfacing to make sure it doesn't continue to fray.
Even if you try the other suggestions of removing the binding, using fray check or interfacing...if it doesn't look good, you could apply the label over the area with the bottom of the label right on the binding, therefore concealing (and protecting) the fray area entirely. Good luck...let us know how you handled it. Nan |
