Johanna,
In some of my double-faced work, I've had broken lines which resulted from
one tablet's threads slipping on top of another's - this is correctible by
sitting and fiddling with it with a pin until the threads take their rightful
places. It usually happens when you have a long section where one color
borders another and the pattern doesn't change much. But if it's an actual
picking error, the only way you could fix it would be major textile surgery -
or at least, that's the only way I can see. I'm with you - to me, completion
is more important than perfection. If I see it while I'm working, and it's
not too far back, I pick it out - but I don't worry about imperfections too
much once they're in place.
Depending on what you're working with fiber-wise, you can sometimes cover a
mistaken stitch with a thread of the right color - thread a needle with it,
work it in from the side of the band, come up where the erroneous stitch is,
stitch over it, and bury the end in the shed - some fibers lend themselves to
this more than others.
In certain rare cases, Magic Marker has concealed misplaced white threads on
black. I can't recommend this method for regular use, though. <G>
Hope that helps...
Michael
