Rip it and redo?

Sometimes I rip these, and sometimes, I just make another line of tiny stitches right next to the existing line, then keep repeating those new lines of stitching over and over in that scant-seamed section until I've solid-seamed it all the way to the edge. In this case, it's a batik, which won't fray much anyway, so I'd probably just reinforce it to death.

I know a woman who calls ripping out reverse sewing. I like that phrase. Short of ripping it out, maybe reinforcing the seam by sewing over the original stitching a couple of times. Otherwise, reverse sewing is the next step.
