Can I take one side of binding back off?
I machine sewed my binding then I washed the entire quilt. After it was washed I noticed some places I would like to fix. Is it too late to rip stitches out of just one side of binding and sew it back down? Will the binding not fit right since it has been washed? Thanks so much for your help.

I have no idea, but it must be possible, how do ladies fix quilts that have had years of use and need a repair here and there. Well, you will have to do it and let us know for sure how it turned out.

Ditto this.. another option is to only rip out the stitches about 1" on either side of the spots you'd like to fix (say if you stitched off the edge of the binding or it's just uneven) and then redo only those portions, then you can work the ends of the thread into the binding so the repairs aren't obvious at all.
