Question Hi again! I am working on Easter placemats using needlepoint on plastic canvas. The first placemat is half done and the canvas broke on one edge. I don't remember how to repair it. I believe I read you could use a drop of hot glue but I think that might melt the canvas. Can I just overcast the edge to hold the broken pieces together? Thanks.
Answer HI
Did some searching and found these hints on repairing.
Helpful hint 20 form - LINDA
If you make a mistake in cutting your canvas like cutting a hole you didnt mean to.
You can use a hot glue gun to repair it. Just put a little glue on the mistake and it repairs
it immediately that'll save alot.
Hope this will be helpful. I think that if you just overcast the edge it will come apart between the stitches.
