I, too, have had the same "creative opportunity" several times. In most instances a dense embroidery design will work and, many times, becomes a great design element :D . If you don't have an embroidery machine perhaps you know someone who does. Good luck!

Snipper,
Please post a pic if you can, that way we will have a better understanding of what you need to fix. Thanks

Can you cover it with a label?

I have had that happen--
i just blind stitch it.....

If there is no missing fabric, showing the batting, you should be able to slip stitch/blindstitch by hand. You can eliminate the need to get underneath by taking needle down into inside batting at a seam line preferably right near missing stitches then proceed with a couple of tiny backstitches, then up the seam line where stitches should have been simply pulling the fabric together as you go. By working in the fold and stitching first one side then the other you can close the gap. None of this will show to the other side if you just go into the batting layer.:)

I bit of "wunder-under" pressed under the seam will fuse it to the batting so it won't separate.

Either blindstitch it up or slip a piece of wonder under into the hole.

If the seam allowance hasn't frayed, you should be able to do the ladder stitch and sew that seam closed, from the right side.

If this quilt won't be washed you could use some Elmer's School Glue to glue it down, I did that last night on a seam that was coming loose. It has 1/8" seam allowances, so not surprised. But mine is a wallhanging and will never be washed.

I would try a blind stitch first, then a fusible.

I think you will have to use a fusible, just because if you hand stitch it without some extra support, it will just keep fraying. Your longarm artist might have caught that and repaired it for you, at least in my dreams. Lesson learned! Thank you for sharing this.
