I would cut the rough/stretched hole out of the batting. Cut another piece of batting 3" or so bigger than the hole. Spray baste the outer edge of the patch and smooth into place over the hole. Good luck.

I patched the batting and quilted the patched area. It looks very smooth itsn't noicable at all. Hopefully it will look as good off the frame as well. Thank you so much for all the advise. So glad everyone is so willing to share their expertise!

Oh, dear. Such perils we quilters face when pets are about. i'm taking notes!

You know our little animal friends love us unconditionally, so I would not be too upset with the dog. I think after you have finished that wine, had a good nights sleep that things will look much better in the morning. Lots of good advice here for you, and I think the fix will be fairly easy. No one will ever know ... cept you and the pup, and hes probably forgotten already too : )

spray baste to the rescue - trim the existing batting and measure the area, then cut a new piece of batting and spray away. follow the directions

They have always enjoyed laying in my sewing room while I sew or quilt, but I have never had an issue with them until now. So, now what do I do with the batting already loaded on the quilt and on my long arm? The hole is about 12" around and jagged/stretched.

Well...i'd just get rid of the dog!!
|
How about shooting the dog? Just kidding. I think I would cut out the circle and iron on a bigger piece to patch it.
|
I have had stitched the edges back together and it worked out fine. My DGD caught her foot in the batting one time when I was working on a quilt.
