quilting question/booboo
#1
Ok I finished my first quilt, I dont know if any of you remember but I did the memory quilt for my step daughter. Its pictures of the tattoo's she has done, she owns her own shop. Well it came out good, but I just noticed (1) spot where the top stitch is so close to the binding that its frayed and could get worse. Would you tear out the whole binding or hand stitch over this pieice, any suggestions?

I think I would hand stitch if I could or just tear out a section just big enough to sew the seam more secure. It is really what your tolerance level. (grin). (If all else fails, cover with an applique...just a little special thing like a heart.)

Is it small enough that you could do a repair zig-zag in a matching thread? If it is a really small area, it will never be seen, unless someone is looking.
If it is over 1/2" or more, I'd personally undo that part of the binding and fix it.

Well I could probably pick the stitches out and use anti fray, but I would have to sew them back some way. I dont have enough binder room to re bind it. Like I could stuff it under and rebind.

Yeah its 2" long, but the problem is if I undo it, I dont think I have enough material to pull over to catch under the binding. I think I just have to hand sew something , Im afraid of pulling it out, I might not be able to fix it and make a bigger mess of things.
