Oops!

So I am using my new toy, I mean embroidery machine, to add quilting to a pieced baby quilt. I am using this method: http://www.susaglenndesigns.com/How_...hine_s/112.htm

Each block of quilting design has a basted placement line around it to help you line it up with what has already been done. I mistakenly nicked a bottom thread of one of my designs when removing a placement line. I have been using a monofilament bobbin thread, and cotton top thread. I am not really sure how to correct this without re-doing the whole segment.

Should I try advancing through the stitches in the design, and stitching over that little area?

Or should I just hand stitch the bottom thread to grab the intact top thread?

I just don't want the quilting to unravel on me.

You can use a tiny dab of fray check or a tiny square of lightweight iron on stabilizer, but keep the iron on the cool side because of the poly bobbin thread.

If you have unhooped, you will never get it back in to go over the area again. I have used both the methods above.

If you haven't unhooped it, then go ahead and advance to that point and back up a bit and restitch that area...But like PaperPrincess mentioned, if you have already removed it from the hoop this method will be impossible. I have just taken it too my regular machine and stitched over that area.
