I was watching a video of a pro quilter who won alot of awards internationally, she was from England, and she said that when that happens just put fusable web under neath the tear fuse it in place
and when you quilt it insure you quilt over it and no one will notice. She said once done and quilted it was not noticable, even by the judges.
Good luck

This is one of the reasons I absolutely never use a seam ripper. They're almost always dull. Just like with a dull knife, it's easier to slip and make a mistake or cut yourself with something dull than something good and sharp.

Me too! I have ripped too many fabrics using a seam ripper. Now I use the curved spring-handled snips, also know as surgical scissors. I also found another way to use the seam rippers to help keep from ripping the fabric, is to use the ball part underneath and the pointy part on the outside. But, the best way is to not use them at all. Put some fusible interfacing inside or fusible web so it will adhere to your batting. After you get it quilted it won't show.

You have been given good advice already. I hope it works out for you. It is very frustrating to have to deal with sitituations like this. The little bit of fuse under the material seems like a good idea with the quilting to keep it in place. Good luck.
