Dear quilty friends I need help

and good advice. After working on my Granddaughters full size quilt for a year+.
I finished today so I began to snip threads on the back because I'm sending it off to the quilter soon. Of course I just Had to snip a folded piece of the quilt too! sob sob.

The fabric is batik, the cut is very small about a quarter of an inch long and three cornered. What to do is the BIG question, can I place a very small patch, same fabric with lite wonder under on the back, then a great fabric glue on top to keep the edges from fraying? Very difficult to replace whole piece it's bias cut.
HELP and Thank You All
Your friend Rustyhen

Yes this will work. Maybe also let your long arm quilter know and she can add some extra stitches to secure it. You can also applique a tiny heart or star over the hole.

Good ideas


I went and had a class on my long arm, now I really feel confident and am ready to load it and go, but I forgot to buy thread I remembered the needles and oil, but no thread

Katz, I've just discovered that one of my most favourite quilt artists, Elizabeth Barton, lives in Athens, GA, about 2.5 hrs from you. According to her website, she has work in a couple of galleries in Atlanta. Have you come across her? I'm presently reading her most recent book, 'Working in a Series'. Really inspirational as is her book, ’Inspired to Design'. You should keep an eye out for her.
I've just done a 2 day workshop with Philippa Naylor on free motion quilting. You will all know her work. She keeps winning at Paducah etc. Lovely lady. I'm hopeless at fmq but she has certainly helped me. I got you a PC of course. Mo.

Oh I can't wait to see the new PC, and fmq I'm hopeless too, if you can ever get that rhythm then your golden but getting the rhythm. The class I went to this past Sat. was on LA machines and they had a sitdown quilter and the instructor was teaching FMQ too, I focused on the LA course it had a stitch regulator, if they have the regulators I"m ok but without it, forget it.

Hello Ladies,

I am working on a surprise for you all. NOPE will not tell, just adds to the suspense of getting your blocks!! BTW I have not heard from MSQ company so it's not them,

LA update, ok so I wanted to play with it and of course forgot the thread, but threaded it with my stuff, and I turn it on and the machine is making a long steady beep, so that was last night so I call HQ tech support and my machine is now in the shop I will know more on Wed. It could be something as simple as something has been loosened to who knows, now for the scary part we had a lightening strike about a week ago and yes I forgot to unplug my machine, The strike took out our cable box, router, DVD player, one HDMI port on the curved 4K tv which I'm told is a miracle it didn't kill the whole tv but we have 3 more ports. So please say a prayer that it is something really simple on the LA, I just feel like I'm never going to get to use the LA.
