I am SUCH an IDIOT. Are there anymore like me?? This is the thing-I had FINALLY bought a JuneTaylor's Cut and Press - ya know 2 sided neat gizmo......................yeah, ya guess it - I CUT on the pressing side and sliced the fabric all the way thru the cloth AND the foam. It is spreading apart and I am going to find a rope real soon $#@ If anyone had done this, how did you repair it? Tape? Trash can? I hope someone can help! Thanks in advance :cry: :oops: :shock:

I did this to a quilt top one time. Try inserting a piece of, OMG I can't think of the name of it, the stuff you use for applique. Slide it inside the cover,big enough to cover the entire cut. Then press with a very hot iron. Make sure you get the edges of cut meet identical. The top I did this to was a wall hanging. You cannot tell was it repaired. Let me know. I have one of the cut and sew. I love mine. Can't do without it. Pam

Maybe repair it the best you can with Wonder Under or Stitch Witchery, keeping it as flat as possible.
Then make a new cover to fit over the whole top? So that the whole surface is smooth?
Mine seems to have a lip around it, maybe make the cover have a casing around the edges (like an ironing board cover) insert a string and cinch it up, nice and snugly? :D:D:D

Well, I haven't done this, exactly. But my ironing table has nice little slices in it from where I ran right off the edge of the cutting mat I had on it...
What about using an iron on patch to fix it? I think you can get them in cotton. Or try some quiting cotton with steam-a-seam and iron it over the cuts.
