Dear André,Thank you for the information. That is what I was looking for. Tried to send pictures of the quilt and damage but email would not go through with attachments. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Kristine Herman

The stiches (running and coutching stiches) are bether in the hang direction. Good methods against the stress are: short exhibition time, not vertically hanging.

Betreff: woven wool
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
