If it is for you or a family/friend, leave it and learn from it for next time. This is how we all learn. We've all had our moments. :)

That's why I love glue basting. If you quilt on a basic small throated machine, tucks are eliminated. At least so far. :)
|
This same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. Ugh. Luckily I was able to remove the quilting, press the backing to ease it in and re-quilted. And yes I was using a walking foot. This is what I got for trying to quilt at night when I was tired. Oh well, live and learn :o
|
I know how you feel - I've done that before and worried it to death. Turns out no one else has noticed the tucks in the backing. We sometimes look too closely at our work - when we stand back later it is difficult to see where the problem is.

I agree with the applique or lable great way to turn opps into ok!
|
Add more fabric to the backing on top of the mess ups by appliqueing it then re quilting just that area. I have added different color fabric squares to my backing after the quilting. I retrace the quilting on top.

Wash it. :) A lot of mistakes are made less noticeable after washing & drying.

When this has happened to me I've picked out the quilting immediately around the tuck/fold, and eased the extra fabric into some new quilting (just in that section). Then wash and dry!

Yep, I agree with Candace. One of my friends say she appliques designs over hers. Some quilts have more back art than others.

Hey, if it's not big enough to be a "toe catcher" don't sweat it!
