I was almost devestated cause I knew if I had to start all over again, I would probably just not continue. I didn't want to do that so I thought I will try to use a stitch that will cover over that nick in the fabric. So I chose to do outline stitch for the hair. I am really pleased with the result. The first photo shows how I done short outline stitches to give direction. Then finished it by connecting the two sides together.
I love the results and had to do it with 2 strand of DMC floss instead of 1 to cover over that mistake I made in nipping the fabric I am thinking it would have looked better just using 1 strand but I wanted to cover that nip in the fabric and plus I wanted to give highlight by using the 2 different colors.. I used 1 strand of DMC 300 and 1 strand of DMC 434.

You did a wonderful job covering up your fabric "nip"! I ALWAYS wind up damaging the fabric if I try to take close stitches out. But we all live and learn! Now I don't even try to clip out stitches unless the problem is a completely new color. Now, if my correction thread are close in color I use the french knots or whatever as a "padding" stitch. If I do a good job with my new stitching it looks even better than I could expect. I think we so often forget how nice padding stitching looks....I think the technique was invented by someone who didn't like their original stitching!
that is BEAUTIFUL. lovely job!
