Advice Hiding Stitches On A Skunk

Hello everyone,

Hope your having a good day. I am hoping you might be able to help me out on what probably is an amateur problem. I recently mounted up my first spotted skunk and went with the handstand pose. It turned out okay and the main issue I have is the stitches on the tail. Unfortunately in the pose I wanted (personal mount) the tail is rather front and center and so to is my stitch line. I know its not great and it shifted as it dried making the seem uneven. I will make sure that doesn't happen in the future, but I am not sure what to do about the stitch line. I would like for him to be seen from all sides. I considered maybe trying to use the invisible stitch on it, but the hide was so thin it just kept ripping through. So i just used baseball stitches. Once he finishes drying I was considering maybe using white apoxie sculpt and trying to texture it to appear something like little hairs. I was just wondering if any of you out there have ever dealt with a similar issue and had good success hiding the seem. I took a quick picture to illustrate it. Its not great resolution, but you can see what i mean from it.

Thanks for your time
Chris
