To stabilize the coverlet and make it usable takes a lot of time and careful stitching. Also, remember sewing is not one of my talents. My hands are awkward and clumsy. And the coverlet is fragile.
Here's an example of what needs to be done.
I am tacking from the blue paper going down. The hole is less than two inches long.
You may notice the color is different.
In the time I was stitching, the sun moved away from the window, so the light is different.
There are some places where I can just do long running stitches, but where needed, I am trying to tack, stabilize, and pull together at the same time.
Lots to do!
It's a lot of work, but it will make it possible to enjoy it for years to come.
