I have used creative sewing a lot. In fact in my last quilt my binding was wavy. My quilt was square but for some reason the binding wasn't. A slight variation in the stitch width of the binding can make it wavy. I didn't rip it off. I sewed another on top of it following a drawn line exactly where I wanted the edge of the binding to be sewn down.. The binding now is full and straight.
