I can hear the gasps of horror already I've just put the binding on a quilt and am wondering if it needed some more lines of quilting. Can I go back and add them before I wash the quilt? I've found some online discussion that suggests that though this is - ahem - an unconventional thing to do, it's not unheard of or impossible. Would be interested to know what people think.

I've done that a time or two. Turned out ok, in fact the friend I made the quilt for said it looked good to her.

No gasping here, I've done it. All you need to do is be careful where and how you start and stop your stitching lines. I assume you mean machine quilting?

No gasp of horror here ......... I've added quilting with no problems.

Gasp!! (Just kidding) I've done it, it worked out well. As jokir44 said, you just have to be a bit more careful where you stop and start, because you can't hide it in the binding.

Your quilt, can if you want to.

Hey your quilt, whatever you want to do.

​I gave done it and it worked out fine. I have even mixed hand quilting, machine quilting and ties, GASP!

Yes, I was thinking that - but then realised that those lines stop at the border anyway, so I just have to be as careful as I was first time round.

I've Just wanted to be sure it wouldn't cause some major problem I hadn't thought of.
