I feel ya! Happens to me every now and again!
Been there, done that! LOL
The same thing happened to me yesterday! I ripped out about 8 inches of stitching. Today I will tackle the job of restitching. The worst part is connecting the new stitches with the old.
Oh...if I only had a nickel for every time that happened to me!!!
Been there, hated that. Once I even got a whole different piece of fabric caught in my machine quilting. Lane
Oh GEEZ! Now that is what I call a friends job. Give that to a friend and let them tear it out....LOL

Can I tell you how I solved this problem? I FMQ 2-3 quilts a month on my DSM, so I have a little experience. I baste the quilt with spray, and that means I can start quilting ANYwhere on the quilt, not just the center. So I FMQ the borders first, keeping an eye on the backing edges. Once the whole border is done, I can cut off the excess backing and batting. Now I can FMQ the rest of the quilt without worrying about the backing folding back. Enjoy!
UGH... I'm a pro at ripping, not so much at sewing. LOL!
