quilt, you may want to, try to
restore it, Consider; first, If it
has. great value-either
icor gentimental,. If it does, it
really should be handled by
an evert. Also, if' it is so
fragile that it might not
withstand even the most
careful handling, it might be
best only to preSt-rve and
protect its faded beauty from
further deterioration without
cleaning it first. But if it falls
into neither of these categor-
ies, here are some ways to
restore it safely, using
methods adapted from more
sophisticated techniques de-
veloped by experts at the
Metropolitan Museum' of Art
in New • yint City. Some
general advice: Be prepared
to devote time, patience, and
attention to your project.
Keep an area clear to work in;
'between sessions, cover the
quilt with tissue paper or
place it in a roomy drawer or
box. Always wish your hands
before you start to work.
LAUNDERING
*To freshen quilts find
out: a quilt is colorfast by
wetting a small area with
water and a Mild washing
agent, then drying with a
blotter. If the colour fades,
you must decide if you want a
tinted (but clean) quilt or an
unfaded but dirty one. The
end' result of washing and
slight fading can sometimes
be very striking. You might
even think of it as part of the
design. Bleeding madras is a
good example. Your grind-
mother's quilts are likely to
run because the material they
were made-front was-home
dyed. 'But if your decision is
against washing, simply
clean the quilt with a hand
vacuum cleaner an both
sideffil air outdoors.
2. If ;the tiller is showing
through or if the .edges are
hied, it Is advisable to
impair the wilt before laun-
dering. Au eld, fragile quilt-
eau he 'Cleaned in a bathtub by
laying it in with as few folds
as possible. Let lukewarm
water flow into the tub, but
not directly on the quilt. A
mild soaking solution may be
used before washing. The
point to remember is not to
lift the quilt or place undue
strain on the old stitches, but
to use only a gently patting
action. Drain water at each
stageinit do not remove the
quilt from the tub. A number
of rinsings are necessary to
remove impurities. Press
against the tub to squeeze out
water. Blot with towels. Lay
out on beach towels or mat-
tress pads, or dry in a shady
place. After the top is par-
tinily dry, turn the quilt over
onto dry towels to hasten
drying process. It is not an
easy task, but one worth
doing to prolong the life of
your quilts.
*If a quilt is badly stained,
laundering may only make
stains more obvious against
the clean area. In most cases,
old stains cannot be identi-
fied. and methods for re-
moval• would be difficult to
determine. Thus, it may be
better just to remove loose
soil.
RESTORING
AND MENDING
A ragged edge or a torn
seam detracts from the
beauty of an old quilt, and can'
he remedied with a little
needlework. The, edge is
usually the first part to show
signs of wear and tear and
many old quilts can be found
with rebound edges, done -
with cloth of ti-later period.
For badly damaged edges,'
there are several possibili-
ties.
1. The edge can be trim-
med beck an inch. or two and
rebound. 2. A facing Can Alle
applied to underside, 8. to
Itr deep, with some quilting
added to hold it in place, an" d
the fa,cing turned to the front
as a Wilding; or a separate
binding can be made. .3. A
new border can be built up
from the top side of the quilt.
facing the underside, then
adding filler and finishing the
edge. 4. If ragged. torn areas
on your quilt are merely
unstitched, all you have to do
is add a little filler to the •bare
spots, reinforce the back if
necessary, and hlindstitch
the pieces back together. A
little' quilting in the recon-
structed part will finish the
job.
If some pieces are
destroyed, replace them with
material blending with 'the
original, or cover worn patch-
es with net.
For badly damaged quilt
backing:
1. Reinforee with net, or -
blind-stitch on a new backing
lightly tacked into place. 2. If
the edge is worn, the new
quilt backing may be turned
over to front to form a new
binding (remove old one
first). •
LAUNDERING A QUILT
1. Place quilt between
two sheets of nylon net. 2.
Seam lengths of nylon net
together to make two pieces
the size of quilt. 3. Place the
quilt between them and baste
together. This method'seri/es

4. For modern guilts only:
When washing by machine,
use water at 'a moderate
temperature-preferably soft
water and mild detergent, for
safety. If washer will not
accommodate the weight of
the wet quilt, use heavy-duty
machine at neighbourhood
laundromat
Drying can 'be done one of
two ways:
'Outdoors, in the shade,
hanging from two parallel'
lines to.' better distribute the
quilt's weight.

loosely, in undyed old sheets
or towels and store in a dry
place, avoiding temperature

for storage is preferable to a
cardboard box, which, often
retains dampness. *Quilts
