It isn't just first quilts that have "oops", so don't beat yourself up over it. It's just another learning experience.

If this is a wall hanging , put your hang sleeve on that side ( if quilt is not directional) ask me how I know

I personally would take the side of the binding off to a point well above the problem area where I know I am attached correctly and place the binding back in its proper place. No need to take it all off to correct a small area.

Be careful not to stretch the binding while re-stitching it. (Just lay it down and let the machine do the work). If you stretch it you will have “too much” binding and have to undo more to ease it in or you will have puckers.

One can handstitch the binding back in place. It might show a little bit, but one has more control then attempting to machine stitch it back in place.

If there is machine stitching showing, one can go over the "blank spot" by machine to try to "make it match" the rest of the machine stitching.

One thing to be said about "oops" situations - one's creativity gets tapped.

The other things said about "oops" situations - usually are in the "Oh, golly, gee, shucks" category.
