There nothing bad about restating a line what is wrong is stressing a line.What i mean by stressing a line it when you don't take your time to do the first pass of a line correctly so you go over it way to many time just out of stess.You should strive for clean looking line.When you should restate a line is when you don't have the angle right or when you made a curve to weak or to strong of a curve.It specially ok to restate line when you learn anatomy since the body is such a delicat combination of curve.Like i said previously you should not have to restate a line unless you working with a pen something pro encourage there student to use to be more mindful of what they put on the page.If you have trouble with straight line a trick is to rotate your paper so that you can use your most natural hand movement.I have attach a picture to show you how to tilt your paper to have easier time drawing straight line.Of course if you want to draw line that are not horizontale you need to adjust the orientation of the paper to be somewhat of a 45 angle.
