This step saves much aggravation later in the process......but to repair one that exists the suggestions of ladder stitching that seam closed extending that hand repair well into both "good" sides is probably the only "fix". Also make sure when hand quilting that the seam is not open,rather laying on the side of the weaker seam and stitch something near it for added reinforcement....I have had this happen on L/A for clients...yes it was crooked seam on one of fabrics....had to stop,ladder stitch together and make sure "design" went over/ very near those areas to reinforce them
