ronwiny Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 A customer wanted me to quilt a reversible quilt. The top and bottom are pieced exactly the same but with different batik fabrics. I added temporary fabric on all sides of one to treat it like a backing and tried my best to keep them lined up as I quilted. after I finished quilting it I discovered the back tension was no good. I took out all the stitching and requilted but there are holes from the original quilting. Any idea how to make the holes less conspicuous?

mamu Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 sometimes if you spritz with water and rub with cloth they will close up.. be careful not to rub too much as you don't want to add rub marks to the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaSteller Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 My favorite tip on this is one I came up with myself. Buy one of those cheapie electric toothbrushes from the Dollar Store, preferably with soft bristles. Dip it in a glass of water, shake off the excess, and then turn the brush on and gently brush your quilt with it. That electric sonic motion is pretty effective in closing up the holes.
