Would like information on restoring a home woven wool quilt that is going to hang for a few months. What would be your preference?  to apply repair stitches in a horizontal - weft direction or vertical - warp direction? or both. It seems that a hanging quilt is going to have a lot of stress in the vertical direction, possibly uneven stress. Thanks for your input,Kristine Herman
