She has no problem with quilting a vintage quilt but always lets the quilt speak to her and tries to find the right pattern to fit the quilt.<br />I would suggest using Soak https://www.soakwash.com/<br />to wash it and if it has any stains use Restore http://www.englesideproducts.com/index.php/restoration.html <br />to clean the it once it is quilted.

I agree totally with what you said about it - fix it, sandwich and quilt it with a fairly simple pattern (anything fancy will get lost in all the fabrics in this quilt - and then USE IT.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-48079864102388690002014-03-01T20:01:58.712-08:002014-03-01T20:01:58.712-08:00$5!!!!!

I asked what to do at my LQS and they were horrified at the suggestion of a machine touching any part of an antique hand stitched quilt. But once I'm done, it will go back to my aunt with the strict instructions to NOT use it...much. :(Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494557452802595536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-18171652655844558352014-03-01T11:18:10.895-08:002014-03-01T11:18:10.895-08:00First thing I would do......drool too.
