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 hate the frog-stitch! Having tried to fudge a block myself, you will regret it later if you don't rip it out now.

If it were my quilt that would be just too close for comfort. Much easier to redo now.

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.
