Vintage Quilt Restored and How to Care for your Quilt

Repairing a worn vintage quilt can be challenging. Is it even worth fixing an antique quilt, or is it better to repurpose into something new? In this video we will discuss reasons to restore a quilt and when to upcycle. Other topics discussed are how to repair your quilt, how to display, wash and take care of antique fabrics as well as different ways to quilt your quilt. We will also look at making binding for quilts. Is it really necessary to cut binding on the bias? You may be surprised at my answer. Watch this video to find out!
