I've got a queen size quilt on the frame, and started quilting several passes with a meandering pattern when I found a seam with a 3/4 inch opening and very little seam allowance. The quilt top is my sister-in-law's for her brother, so whatever we do, we want it to still look nice when we're done.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I would thread a needle and hand stitch it together again. Go under the fabric to start, take very tiny stitches and keep the threads hidden under the fabric. It won't be the easiest thing to do but it can be done and it shouldn't take too long. Do it basically like a blind hem stitch only very tiny then quilt through it. The quilting will help to hide the repair.

That should do it. You may also want to add a tiny bit of fabric glue as you stitch it. I've done that to one that had the very little seam to it and you would never know it had been 'repaired'.

Thanks!

And hopefully the quilting pattern will go directly over this seam to help stabilize it.
