Do I need to remove my stitches?
 
I've pieced several blocks and realized my stitches aren't good. The tension was messed up. They are not loose, just not smooth. I'm new to quilting, and this quilt is a gift. Should I rip out the seams and start over? Thanks.

Hmmm can you post a picture?

Personally.... if these are piecing stitches and not quilting stitches, if the stitches don't show, if the block is absolutely secure and in no danger of coming apart... I'd be tempted to leave it.

Do you need help troubleshooting and fixing your tension issues?

Or I'd just stitch again over the other seam. I detest ripping.

You could fuse featherlite interfacing to the back of the block.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It's not very noticable and the seam appears to be strong. I think I'll leave it alone.

Peckish, I figured out the problem. I didn't have the machine threaded correctly. It's a new one I'm still not used to.

I'm glad you figured out what caused the problem!! :D
