Any ideas about how I can correct this error. In the future, I'll examine my work much more carefully before quilting or having it quilted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Check out instructions on how to do a "blind seam". It's very similar to the stitch you do to put binding on a quilt. Shouldn't be too much of a problem to do a small area.

Here's one: http://quilttaffy.blogspot.com/2008/...-tutorial.html
Thanks, this was very helpful!
