I was told in quilting class that you never rip a seam more than twice or cut a new piece because the integrity of the fabric is compromised and wont hold up as well. I am sewing today just waiting for the hordes to get up out of bed so I dont hear it on how loud I am :)
    My rule is three times. If I have to rip it out three times and it still doesn't work, then that piece goes in the scrap pile and I cut out new ones & start fresh. I haven't had the fabric unravel or anything like that when I rip out, but then I tend to be pretty careful since I don't want to stretch my unit out and have it end up the wrong size. I don't toss the piece out due to the integrity of the fabric but to save my sanity! :lol:
