That's in spades! Well done for keeping your cool, and finding a solution.

It's also possible to reweave using thread from the edge of your fabric. Only trick is to use horizontal thread for a horizontal reweave, and a vertical thread for a vertical reweave.

Hope you get the problem resolved soon! It's looking beautiful!

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I will never have to use it again

You solved the problem great! Another method, that I used with my favourite linen dress (that is now too big, hehe ) when a hole appeared in it, to put a piece of fabric behind it, as a patch and stitch the two together with the crosses. But in your case, as it was only two lines, it wasn't necessary.
I am sure it won't show.

Great save Linda, well done

I think that would scare the bejeezies out of me if that happened to me. I think I'd be more likely to scrap it and start over on another piece of fabric. Great save! Let's hope that the rest of the project is smooth sailing.

Oh no how did that happen I would have been crying. So glad that you had a fix that has woked for you!!!!!!!

Your fix looks fine; I doubt anyone but you may ever notice it. It's looking so pretty!

on your presence of mind, calmness and great solution!

Great repair! You should get a medal for your bravery in a time of great distress!

The only reason scrap it is be cause I have 2/3's done. Thank heaven it is surounded by lots of stitching and not blank areas. Looks like it will hold

The repair is invisible . I feek like I pulled a rabbit out of a hat with this one.

what a great repair job and I'm just loving this design--it's stitching up very nicely and quickly!!

Gorgeous. I love the colours

It is so beautiful!!!!! And I am so glad that the repair has worked for you!!!!

You're right! It looks amazing! You fixed it wonderfully

I'm incredibly impressed by your fix! I never would have though to weave and most likely would have cried while starting on a new piece of fabric. I'm amazed by this!

Great repair job! I'm impressed!

And I love the design, too. It's nice that the three dragonflies are different - the centre one looks like a mayfly with those long 'tails', though the body and wings are not really mayfly, I think (I'm not too well-up on the differences between dragon/may flies, apart from the 'tails' ). As you say - not bad for a freebie!

Looking great, and the repair is incredibly good!

It looks very nice - great repair work
