You coul finish it with a buttonhole stitch, but you would need to use a much finer weight yarn or maybe embroidery floss in a matching color.

This works out really well if neatly done. I find if I take my time and be sure every stitch is exactly as I want it before I move on to the next, I have a good outcome. If I am not careful---what a mess!
