My grandmother made me a quilt sometime before she passed away. That quilt is now approximately 70 years old. One of the blocks is pieced incorrectly. It is my favorite block in the quilt. I'm sure she shook her head when she found it. But it was made in love for a very small girl. She probably never dreamed it would still be in pristine condition after all these years. One of my most treasured items. I always say, if you want perfect, buy a quilt at Macy's.
I have a quilt that my mother made my older brother. They are both gone, and I discovered the quilt. It's quite lovely. My brother had a girlfriend who 'accidentally' spilled bleach on it. It's such a pretty quilt that I've kept. Now I can repair it. Thank you for this tutorial post.
@debcurry5775 my grandma made each of the 3 kids a quilt. My brother had a wife, that when they were divorcing, "took" his quilt. He didn't realize for a long time as he thought it was at mom's in the cedar chest.
Oh my goodness! Finding a mistake after the quilting is done is like a nightmare scenario! I probably would burst into tears 😭. So thank you for being humble enough to show that it can happen to the best of us, and how to fix when it does. Super useful, thank you thank you thank you!
Bless you, Donna, for your patience in fixing that error. It is nice to see how something like that can be done. Not sure I have the patience to take on such a task, but appreciate your demonstration and knowledge that it can be done with effort
Thank you SOOO much for showing how to repair a quilt. I had a lady bring me a quilt that needed some repair, but since I had not done it before, I had to tell her that. She was good about it and thankfully found someone else to. SO, this video is very helpful, along with the use of snippers instead of Jack!! Thank you so much and happy quilting!
I have never seen anyone showing how to repair AND boy do you make it look easy. I’m definitely going to keep this video for future use! Thank you sooo much for showing how to repair a mistake. 🤗
Donna, you have now, officially, outdone yourself! I believe we are all “slack-jawed” in admiration! Obviously the most important key to tackling this monumental task is to STAY CALM! Easier typed than accomplished, right???!!! I have to say I would have just left it, I’m pretty sure. Thank you for this video and skills, Donna!
Wow. I can't believe you fixed that. And I really appreciate how you showed drawing in the quilting that you were going to redo. I also appreciate how you showed how to hide those knots and finish off the knots on top. Your skills are ace! You are amazing.
Thank you, Donna!!! I was recently given a 100 year old quilt to repair! Your tips and techniques make me think I can repair it now!!! Thank you so much! From another Donna in Augusta, Maine.
Oh my gracious! I come from a long line of quilters and have several ancient quilts that need repair & I've never quite figured out how to repair them. Now I know! Thank you so very much!!
Donna i am so impressed with this repair. Really your skill and patience has gone up another bar. I have done many repairs and alterations in the clothing line and know the skill and patience it takes. But on a quilt …… you make it look way too easy. Thank you for this demonstration it is most appreciated 🌻
Once again you have made the impossible seem possible. Thank you, Donna for your clear tutorials that show us what to do and why. You really are the best teacher I have watched. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Donna for once again teaching me something new. I live in GA but visited your shop at Grants Pass in September 2019 and will always remember you took time from your busy schedule to speak with me. Thank you for all you do to encourage quilting!!!
Timing is everything! I have a quilt that was pieced by my great grandmother, and quilted by my grandmother (her daughter). It's a flower garden quilt and the entire work was by hand. All the center hexagons of the flowers was the same color and was a very lightweight cotton, and it is in shreds. 98% of the rest of the quilt is fine, there is one flower that I might replace the whole thing. I have gathered the fabrics and thread and gotten a template for the hexis (1" hexigons!) and now - thanks to your video - I know how to do what I need to do! THANK YOU - this quilt now has a fighting chance to be usable for more generations to come!
Donna, this video was amazing. I've always just lived with misplaced blocks but my eyes always saw the mistake as if an arrow was pointing to it! Thank you for demonstrating your technique.
I have a blue log cabin quilt made by the Amish in southern Ohio. 😮had the misfortune of parts of it fading having moved to a new house and leaving for the winter. I didn’t understand the sun came in a window ACROSS the room and faded parts of my beautiful quilt and now I’ll have the knowledge to repair ! Thank you so much!
Shame on me but I think I would have ignored the mistake! This week I realized how small the quilting community is. I was watching a tutorial that I stumbled upon of a quilter, living in England. She was talking about quilts and showing some quilts and then she mentioned how she enjoyed watching YOUR TUTORIALS. I thought that was so cool and I couldn't wait to share that story with you. You are a good teacher and I appreciate all your tutorials. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite quilting videos ever! Thank you for teaching us how to repair a quilt. I’m new to quilting and I’ve been so worried about making a mistake. Now I know it is possible to fix it!
Thank you Donna. I’ve had my share of booboos. I was cutting loose threads and grabbed fabric and cut a whole in the back yea I did cry. But once I looked at it I cut a Motif out of the fabric line and appliquéd a flower over it. I’ve had this quilt for about 5 years and do you know that is my favorite part of the quilt. It humbles you. Great video!
Thank you so much. I've spent the afternoon removing and turning a rogue block. It looks really good. A bit fiddly removing the quilting but well worth the time. Now I can display the quilt without having that mistake staring back at me. I;m so happy.
I noticed ( and notified you) of the mistake that was made on this quilt in a previous tutorial...I am happy to see you turn lemons into lemonade by using the mistake to create a 'how to fix ' tutorial! Thanks for the crash course
WOW!!!! That is amazing! I would have never thought to fix the block after it was quilted, BUT it is totally doable!!! Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so much for this video!!!
Donna, This is a truly awesome teaching video for me! I have a repair to do on an inherited more than 100+ year old family quilt that ink was spilled on. My husband got the ink out by soaking in Oxiclean but 2 small squares were too old and frayed away at the edges and need to be replaced. Now I think I can do the repairs so we can display my great aunt's quilt. Thank you!
Hi Donna I am always amazed. You do such beautiful and excellent work. You have the talent to make it look so easy. Thank you for being there teaching so many. I love watching you create.
Thank you!!! I'm a newish quilter and since watching this video I was able to repair/replace a triangle from a 35+-year-old quilt (sacrificed a coordinating pillow) and replace a square from a new top quilt without ripping the row completely out. Thank you again for showing me how.
When you made that quilt I saw that block and was yelling at you to not quilt it yet. Then after it was quilted I didn't see the mistake and thought you had caught it. So glad you taught us how to fix something like that. I have a mistake like that on a quilt I made years ago and I now know how to fix it properly. Thank you!
Wow Donna you never cease to amaze me! You are such an amazing seamstress and quilter, and fabulous teacher , you teach step by step so we all can understand how , what and why your doing it and that helps so much so I thank you you have made me a much better quilter just watching your tutorials!! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for showing us how to make a repair! I would not have even guessed how to start, and even though it may be a tedious fix, you make it so simple to follow. I love your videos! Wish you were in Florida, I would be in your store all the time!! Sheila-Jacksonville, FL
Fantastic. I have a finished quilt with a block going the wrong direction and I really do know how to fix it but it sure helped me a lot to see you repair one. Now I have more confidence to do it correctly. Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll be watching this video numerous times while I tackle my repair.
Thank you for showing and sharing. A colleague has asked me to fix/repair a quilt his Grandma had made… I have never fixed an older quilt and this has helped me to better understand how to accomplish this.
Repairing one that needs it has always scared me. Thank you SO much! Great video on how to fix mistakes, your step-by-step instructions and close-ups are the best!
This is the best repair video I have ever seen, and I have watched a lot of them. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us learn how to correct our mistakes. I have a few quilts that my grandsons have loved to death. The only thing I need to learn now is how to deal with fraying bindings and the best ways to repair those. Hoping that you are able to demo this in a future video. God bless you and thank you again.
What a helpful procedure for quilters of all levels of experience. I really appreciate the care you take to repair your quilts. Also, it's nice to know that mistakes are OK and how to fix them if we want.
I just watched your Eclectica video. I'm really impressed at how different this giveaway version is from the one in that video is.. It really is amazing, not only what fabric choice can do, but positioning of the blocks. Looking at these two quilts shows your expertise.
In my 35 years of making quilts, I've never seen anything like this. I've fixed blocks that were put in wrong, but never after the quilt is quilted! You are very brave! Thank you!
The lady who taught me to knit said every thing needed a mistake in it, because only Jesus is perfect. She’d knit a mistake in if she came to the end without having made one on accident. I’m impressed, Donna, I believe I’d have taken my knitting teachers advice on this, but I surely am impressed!!!
@@lisadunworth6144 That's sweet. I've heard that the Amish, who are amazing quilters, make one mistake in every quilt for the same reason: only God is perfect.
THANK YOU Donna! I hadn't seen any other videos on repairing a quilt after its completed. I recently found a little tear on a quilt my husband purchased many years ago somewhere back east. It's a dresden pattern. One of the blades needs replacing. The quilt is hand quilted so that will be a little bit challenging. 🤞 Thank you again! Perfect timing ! ❤
Donna, in the ‘olden days’ there were guilds for various trades. You my dear would be the Guild Master for quilting. We, your loyal viewers would be your apprentices…of differing capabilities. You are head and shoulders the best on the internet. Oh, there are many ‘pretenders’ out there, but you are the real deal imo. I don’t recall ever seeing a video that demonstrated repairs on an already quilted quilt , much less an invisible repair! Kudos to your photographer. Is this your son? The shots were clear, and from just exactly the best angle. Bravo! The other point I want to make is that I was drawn to your videos from the start because of your obvious love of your craft, and you showed us all that you do not need the newest and best equipment… you draw lines with pencil or chalk, nothing expensive or fancy. You sew on a simple machine ( commercial but basic) . And the results are outstanding. Please pass a ‘Hi’ to Matt and the rest of your family. Matt’s hand cutting is also unheard of in this day and age. I know that times have been tough for everyone in the last three years. I hope you and your family have weathered the storm and will continue to thrive for many years to come. ❤❤❤
Thank you for making this tutorial! I have not seen a repair done before, but I am so very happy that you took the time to share your continued knowledge with us.
Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing how to fix or repair a completed quilt. I have a quilt that my Mom made that has a block that needs to be repaired. Thanks to you I now know what I need to do.❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so impressed with this repair video. I would attempt a repair now if I needed to, but I would never have thought of fixing a quilt before this video. You have do. An excellent job demonstrating and explaining the process. Great job as always! ❤
Thank you for showing us how to repair a quilt block. I found it very interesting and informative. I would appreciate other such videos to expand my quilting knowledge and skills, excellent topic.
A very professional tutorial that will help many quilters. Then there's the approach that Arne and Carlos have towards small mistakes in knitting. "It's not a problem."
oh my goodness! You have really out done yourself. Amazing. I've quilted many years and have never seen this technique. Thank you. I'm not sure I would have changed it out but now as least I can see the technique used to do so. You wow us.
Donna, thank you for sharing this video. Now repairing a quilt won't be so scary. I have a quilt that belonged to a great-great grandmother that needs some repairing. I think your video will help, even though the quilt is handmade from long ago. Thank you so much.
Donna, I have always thought you were the best teacher on the tube, now you have taught people who have never repaired a quilt how to do that too. It is so important, not only to fix mistakes on a quilt but to be able to fix wear and tear on older quilts. Thanks again for being willing to teach quilters necessary skills to be great quilters. You are the best.
Oh my gosh. This very thing happened to me. I got my quilt back from the longarmer, finished the binding, hung it over the railing for a photo then laid it out on the floor to admire my hard work. Only THEN did I see not just one but TWO blocks that were incorrect. I was absolutely heartbroken because it was a wedding gift. I considered taking the quilting and block out and fixing it but ultimately thought that was just too much. So I wrote a note saying that I had done my best and that each quilt is a work of heart and any mistakes only make it that much more unique. After seeing you do this Donna, I will take the time to fix it next time. (I also take a lot more time scrutinizing tops before delivering to the longarmer!) Thanks for the tute!💕💚
That demo was very interesting. Hope to see more of your quilts. I would really like a book of the quilt designs that are yours only. Something to think about. Live your show. Thank you.
My grandmother made me a quilt sometime before she passed away. That quilt is now approximately 70 years old. One of the blocks is pieced incorrectly. It is my favorite block in the quilt. I'm sure she shook her head when she found it. But it was made in love for a very small girl. She probably never dreamed it would still be in pristine condition after all these years. One of my most treasured items. I always say, if you want perfect, buy a quilt at Macy's.
The Amish always make an intentional mistake, because only God makes the perfect quilt.

I've never had someone take the time to show how to fix a mixed-up block. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are, in my humble estimation, The First Lady of Quilting Videos. No one else can compare.
I never know what to comment because I'm usually so impressed that I am speechless but " wow, simply WOW"!
Same here, it's so much good information and very inspirational.
Oh my goodness! Finding a mistake after the quilting is done is like a nightmare scenario! I probably would burst into tears 😭. So thank you for being humble enough to show that it can happen to the best of us, and how to fix when it does. Super useful, thank you thank you thank you!
I am afraid I would leave it be LOL
I'd probably just leave it 😂
I leave it. We’re not machines 🤷🏻♀️
Holy quilt blocks Batman! Amazing!
Thank you Donna. It is nice to see that, with patience, what seems like a mountain is only a hill.
Beautifully done.
Bless you, Donna, for your patience in fixing that error. It is nice to see how something like that can be done. Not sure I have the patience to take on such a task, but appreciate your demonstration and knowledge that it can be done with effort

Finally! A video that shows how to fix an error. Very helpful. Thanks!
Oh my gracious! I come from a long line of quilters and have several ancient quilts that need repair & I've never quite figured out how to repair them. Now I know! Thank you so very much!!
Great job fixing a mistake in a finished quilt Donna. Heartbreaking to find it once finished but this method is undetectactable.👏♥️🇦🇺
I'm sure I've watched all your videos at least twice. This video will be watched over and over.... most valuable.
Nicely done, Donna. Simple, straightforward and no woe is me self judging. Just you, finding opportunities to teach useful skills.
Donna i am so impressed with this repair. Really your skill and patience has gone up another bar. I have done many repairs and alterations in the clothing line and know the skill and patience it takes. But on a quilt …… you make it look way too easy.

My goodness girl... that is just EXCELLENT. and an excellent tutorial on how to rectify the 'mistake'. Im in awe at your skills.

I would have left it too, but nice to know how to fix if I wanted to, huh? Don't you just love Donna? She taught me how to quilt at 64 years old.
Once you started snipping I found I was holding my breath! You are so brave. It looks great.
This is one of my favorite quilting videos ever! Thank you for teaching us how to repair a quilt. I’m new to quilting and I’ve been so worried about making a mistake. Now I know it is possible to fix it!

You are such a fantastic teacher. I’ve been sewing for 60 years and always learn something new. Thank you for sharing

Me, too! I thought I saw that mistake.
Thanks for a very informative episode! Lots of great tips!
Me too, now I wonder if it was a deliberate mistake just so she could show us how to rectify it 🙂 Great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks, Donna. I always learn something when I watch your videos.
Wow!! I had no idea it was possible to fix a mistake like that!! Thank you so much for teaching us how to repair a quilt!
Donna your such an excellent quilter that seeing you make a mistake almost never happens but it's nice to see how to fix it

Hi Donna, you have no idea just how much you have helped me with this video 👏🇦🇺
Thank you so much for showing us how to make a repair! I would not have even guessed how to start, and even though it may be a tedious fix, you make it so simple to follow. I love your videos! Wish you were in Florida, I would be in your store all the time!!

Thanks so much Donna…you explain it all so well, and demonstrate perfectly. You’re pretty wonderful. 🇦🇺❤️

Now I have more confidence to do it correctly. Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll be watching this video numerous times while I tackle my repair.
Genius! As much as I hate mistakes, I think I'd be tempted to just leave it. A very informative video. Such skill and know-how!
What a great video. "Quilt Repair" is a very important subject, but not touched upon,
much less demonstrated, by many..THANK YOU!
You make everything look so easy… so natural!
Thank you for showing this! I have had quilts with tears in the past. This is so helpful.
As someone already said, this was very brave. Thank you !!!!!!!!!

Donna's so cute, rubbing the chalk off with her sleeve. What a great tutorial! She's so calm and reassuring.

In my 35 years of making quilts, I've never seen anything like this. I've fixed blocks that were put in wrong, but never after the quilt is quilted! You are very brave! Thank you!
Me too! I learned to call a mistake in one block as "my signature"! I've just left it!
Yes!!! Me too and the funny thing is that literally no one noticed or if they did they didn’t say anything
The lady who taught me to knit said every thing needed a mistake in it, because only Jesus is perfect. She’d knit a mistake in if she came to the end without having made one on accident. I’m impressed, Donna, I believe I’d have taken my knitting teachers advice on this, but I surely am impressed!!!

You are a TREASURE !!!
Thank you soooo much !!!
What incredible patience!! My quilt would have an error...keeps me humble. 😅
Thanks so much for all the little details of this process. If we quilt enough we'll all run into this problem!
This was so informative. I would never have attempted to repair or correct an already quilted quilt before seeing this video. Now I MIGHT consider it!
Donna you are such a great teacher. I always wondered how to repair a quilted quilt. 😊
All done calmly and with no cuss words or tears! Well done as usual.
It was edited out. She is human just like the rest of us. 😂🤣😂🤣
Donna, in the ‘olden days’ there were guilds for various trades. You my dear would be the Guild Master for quilting. We, your loyal viewers would be your apprentices…of differing capabilities.
You are head and shoulders the best on the internet. Oh, there are many ‘pretenders’ out there, but you are the real deal imo. I don’t recall ever seeing a video that demonstrated repairs on an already quilted quilt , much less an invisible repair!
Kudos to your photographer. Is this your son? The shots were clear, and from just exactly the best angle. Bravo!

Golly, I have done repairs as well, but never with the ease and grace that you have done this.For me it was hand sewing all the way.
Thank you for making this tutorial! I have not seen a repair done before, but I am so very happy that you took the time to share your continued knowledge with us.

Donna, thank you for sharing this video. Now repairing a quilt won't be so scary. I have a quilt that belonged to a great-great grandmother that needs some repairing. I think your video will help, even though the quilt is handmade from long ago. Thank you so much.
Donna, I have always thought you were the best teacher on the tube, now you have taught people who have never repaired a quilt how to do that too. It is so important, not only to fix mistakes on a quilt but to be able to fix wear and tear on older quilts. Thanks again for being willing to teach quilters necessary skills to be great quilters. You are the best.
This is an extraordinarily important video. I don't think I've ever seen a tutorial such as this. Thank you, Donna!!
As a newbie quilter, this information is invaluable!! Thank you, Donna!
Oh my gosh. This very thing happened to me. I got my quilt back from the longarmer, finished the binding, hung it over the railing for a photo then laid it out on the floor to admire my hard work. Only THEN did I see not just one but TWO blocks that were incorrect. I was absolutely heartbroken because it was a wedding gift. I considered taking the quilting and block out and fixing it but ultimately thought that was just too much. So I wrote a note saying that I had done my best and that each quilt is a work of heart and any mistakes only make it that much more unique. After seeing you do this Donna, I will take the time to fix it next time. (I also take a lot more time scrutinizing tops before delivering to the longarmer!) Thanks for the tute!💕💚
That demo was very interesting. Hope to see more of your quilts. I would really like a book of the quilt designs that are yours only. Something to think about. Live your show. Thank you.
Holy smokes!!! ONLY Donna could get this figured out and share it w/us. Magnificent!
Thank you Donna! Your the best. Never thought to put the chalk lines on the back.
Donna I totally enjoyed your video. Very much appreciate your time and talents you share. I have a few quilts that need repairs.Thank you, Donna
Thank you Donna. We learn so much from you!
Good Day Donna! Hello from St. Petersburg. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for taking something daunting and making it doable. ❤
That was amazing but showed that with patience and determination anything is possible.
