I took a quilting class a few years ago. I had the same problem. The instructor had me stop at the corner, lower my stitch length to the smallest stitch ( I have a newer Bernina, so no problem), put my needle in the same hole I stopped in, then pivot, change back to the normal stitch length and sew the next line. I have not had any problems since doing that, although it is a bit of a pain!

Looks great! Besides, you are the only one that will notice the 'one' stitch unless you point it out to everyone who looks at your runner.
Give yourself a break and don't be so hard on yourself. When you want it to be perfect, you will mess up eveytime. Relax and have fun instead. Life is too short.
Patrice said it well. Follow her great advice.
