If the hot pink thread is showing, then you need to adjust some tension.... usually it wouldn't make a difference what color you used...
Instead of ripping out, can you sew over the same seam but at a thread's width to the left ??? would save some time!
AND save that bottle of wine for a more relaxing moment! Good Luck.

Exciting times will be had with my seam ripper.

I guess I am glad you fixed it, but now I feel guilty because I was thinking if you quilt the thing with the bright thread it could look like you did it on purpose! I am so lazy, but you did the right thing.

The shopping trip is still on and a few more items have been added to the list.
