Haven't had the seam come undone but in repairing a quilt my mother made years ago I used the fusible webbing to repair frayed areas. I might also do a serpentine stitch instead of a straight stitch on the seams. Easier to cover up fixed areas.

Oh you are so close, you can finish this and no one will be the wiser, except us board members. All the suggestions are good. What a wonderful gift you have made. It is a lovely quilt and your FM quilting is very nice.

Wow, your quilt is great! With all the suggestions you will have this fixed in no time! Your free motion looks great for being the second quilt... The receiver of the quilt is lucky! Your free motion reminds me of a "Leah Day" style. How did you teach yourself how to quilt?

I am trying to make a quilt for my future son-in-laws mother for Christmas and it has been so stressful the whole way...I just want to throw it in the fire....I have it almost done with so many mistakes.......and now I have this problem and don't know what to do...I was doing a stitch in the ditch but now I see where the fabric has came loose...I tried hand stitching but it looked horrible so I ripped it out.....what do I do....I have tried to post a picture but can't upload one

I would suggest an applique, maybe a heart. If all else fails, you can make 3 yo-yos and use tiny rickrack or ribbon for stems and make a little bouquet. There is always a way to fix things. Please don't despair.
