How do I repair a bath towel with a thin line off center?
I recently purchased some imperfect towels. Some have a thin line down the towel where the fabric is thinner. Any suggestions on how I can repair or upcycle the towel.

Jean, use a beautiful white lace to customize them and they would look expensive and gorgeous. I have done that to my own towels and received way too many compliments. You can always hand sow them.

Hi Jean, you could cover the imperfection with a lace trim.
You can't "fix it" as it's a weaving defect. Return it.
Robyn is right that the line is a defect, or an imperfection in the weave, so I hope that was reflected in the lower price that you paid for 'imperfects'. Although it can't be repaired, the towels are still perfectly useable.
Do you have a sewing machine? Even older zig zag machines were able to do decorative stitches like the ones in the picture below.
The towels could be embellished with different coloured, or contrast coloured stitching. That way they could be washed in a normal laundry load without having to be concerned that the more delicate trim would rip or shrink.
If you like something completly different you could apply bias binding down the middle, you could make your own wih fabric scraps https://vickymyerscreations.co.uk/tutorial-2/how-to-make-scrap-fabric-bias-binding/
