Any ideas about how I can correct this error. In the future, I'll examine my work much more carefully before quilting or having it quilted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Maybe you could try some steam a seam and press it with the iron, or a roll of that stitch witchery or whatever it is called- it's about an inch wide. I think you have to press it also. If it is only that small, I think I would try something like either of the above and press it down and not worry about sewing it, since you cant get to it. You might be able to use the ladder stitch and remedy the situation.
These are just things I would try, don't know if they will work or not.
