Obviously, I am a NEW quilter. I just finished my first top, it is at the LAQ and I am fully prepared for it to fall apart!! :|

the (fix) depends on the problem- if its simply a little bit of a seam that has come undone it is quite easy to just hand stitch it closed again- if it's something different a strategically placed applique may be needed-
or you might need to tuck some fusable web inside and press to fix a problem-
no reason to stress over (fixes) when you don't even know any will be necessary-
i'm a long armer and often while quilting someone's quilt i see a problem=and fix it. depends on the problem- but there is no reason to believe there will be any problems.
look forward to your quilt coming home-quilted and beautiful!

Welcome to the forum. You have just taken the first step on a long and fulfilling journey with the rest of us. You rarely hear of a quilter who quits, we all just keep on going, learning with each quilt. Welcome--your quilt will be fine and beautiful.
