I feel like I'm in a constant state of needing rescuing. :roll: :?
I was sewing the binding ends together, and when I snipped an end I SNIPPED THE BORDER TOO!! :shock: I am usually so careful about such things, but not enough this time.
It'd be very time consuming to replace that border strip since it's already quilted.
I immediately put a 1/4" piece of steam a seam under the cut and pressed. Then I sewed the rest of the binding on.
Will that hold it? If not, what else should I do? I will mention it to potential buyers at the sale.
Can you see it?

I honestly can't see it Karla. Does the package of steam a seam have laundering instructions on it? I think I would add a that information to the tag, just to make sure it stays after its purchased.

I'm not one to be advising, but what I can say is what I'd do, and I'd do one of two things if it's for sale:
1. I wouldn't offer if for sale.
2. I'd replace the binding -- not the whole binding, just the section that was damaged. It'd be a real pain in the neck though.
If I had time, I'd replace it. If I didn't, I'd scrap it.
That's just what I'd do.
If you really, really want to sell it without replacing it, sell it cheap and if anyone asks why, just tell them there's a small damaged spot on it and let them try to find it.
