Do you by any chance also know how to mend a quilt? By that, I mean replace a square from a quilt that has a hole in it without having to take the whole thing apart? There are women who can do this, but I can't figure out how you sew a square back in when you only have access to the front of the quilt. I'm a sewing novice, if you couldn't tell.
