Quilting/Sewing Help Needed

Hi ladies. I'm hoping someone can help me with a quilting/sewing problem.  I was finishing up the binding on a project and noticed that a few of my quilting stitches had broken.  Is there a way to fix this so that the stitches won't keep unraveling? Hopefully, this pic works:

 Thank you!

  • I can't enlarge your pic so I can't help you, all I can see is what looks like some skipped stitches.  Maybe try to post it a little bit larger?

  • I hope this isn't too gigantic:

    It's terrible quality since I took it on my cell phone.  One of the stitches broke so the line of stitches is starting to unravel.  I don't want to rip out and restitch the entire row, although maybe I could just cover the area with new stitches?

  • With an area that small, I'd just stitch over it and go 2-3 stitches over the current seam on each side.  That should hold.

    This, plus I would load it with Fray Check or something just to be safe. I had to do that on a baby quilt I did recently and it's been washing up just fine! :)
