I was working on this quilt for my son for Christmas and during the quilting I turned it over and aaccckk!! I had gotten too far and the only option I can see it to pick everything out and start over - - which I can't see myself doing. too much picking and too little patience

Does anyone know any tricks?

There are 2 spots and the one spot is worse than the other - but they are both bad news

I feel your pain. I hate ripping out. Good luck.

So Sorry. Ditto.

The Trick ... a good time to watch a mindless Christmas TV show, while you unstitch!

How about an applique over the problem spots...something that goes with the front....or maybe a block to match front blocks (if the front has blocks...)

The ones at the edge I would take out the border and redo. I had a patterned back with a pleat once and I pinned one side and pressed with my iron towards the pins until the backing was flat with a pleat in the backing. I then used an invisible layer stitch to stitch the pleat down hiding the extra fabric. You can’t even see it but it would be more noticeable with a plain back. If you can get most of it fixed, put the label over the worse spot?

You'll be surprised it goes quicker than you think. Ask me how I know.

Google. Skinning a Quilt. Might be helpful. Videos are interesting.

Use your hubby's electric nose clipper. It really goes fast and no cutting of the fabric either. Ask me how I know.

twice I've used my seam ripper on baby sized quilts and picked the entire machine quilting out. Its not my favorite thing to do but it didn't take as long as I thought and both were finished finally.
