Unfortunately, I have a good sample of
What not to do....
I got all the way to the end and was celebrating cutting that final thread when I noticed my huge, novice mistake. The edge had caught and folded over on the back along a portion of one side.
I'll be spending some quality time with my seam ripper to pick out that area. And then I'll try to lock the remaining loose ends and fill in a bit. Major bummer!

Definite bummer but don't think it happens only to novices! :)
I don't like when that happens. But at least you just stitch rip it and stipple back over it. Your stippling looks really good!! Great job. Where are you in IL. I lived in Naperville in jr and high school.
argggggh, i can't stand that. 'seam ripper' are my least two favorite words. your pictures are great, by the way.
I've found this has happened to me a few times recently. If the folded fabric is only stuff which is going to be trimmed and/or hidden by binding, I use the quickunpick (I'm assuming the same as a seam ripper) to cut the fabric close alongside the quilting, and pull out the fabric from the other side of the quilting line.
I had that happened to me (fortunately just a small portion) few months back while working on my niece's girlie lap quilt.
