OH NO! How terrible. sorry i don't have any easy way other than using a seam ripper from the wrong side, snip every 4th -5th stitch all over then go to the other side and lift the thread betweeen the snips and pull. I use tweezers to save my fingers.
Hope it helps.

don't get in a hurry it will take a while but if you are careful it will work.

Oh I know how you feel. I tried to unpick & put a whole in the towel. Arrrrrr I always go by this rule, Measure twice ,cut once. Well you are not cutting but it applies . Hope you feel better now :)

No advice, just good luck, I caught one of mine just after the design started,and that was a bit of a trial, Meganne has given so good advice!!

Oh no! What was the design sewn on? Remember that your bobbin thread will be much shorter because proper tension for embroidery will have the top thread pulled down to the bottom. If you can get a hold of the bobbin thread, you may be able to just pull it out and the top thread then falls out. If your fabric is sturdy enough, you could rehoop your design and then take a new disposable razor and carefully "shave" it on the back side. Just be careful so that you don't cut through the material. Even those "sweater fuzz shavers" can be of some help. A good seam ripper is invaluable, but I also love my super-sharp, very pointed embroidery scissors. Good luck and I'm sending you good, positive vibes that it will not be so frustrating!

adelmarie, by now - you have used the techniques that you have been given or you have given up - which is it and what did you end up with? Curious minds need to know?????

you gotta love tweezers. My big ole machine and I are off to the shop to see why it won't pick up the bobbin thread. If you need practice, you can have my mess up.

Made 2 mess ups lately, Seam ripper and daughter for the small stitches as I cant see them she in invaluable. good Luck Lisa

Just take your time..don't get in a hurry to pull the longest thread that you can get a hold of...that's when ya get holes...BE PATIENT....Happy Un-stitching...I've done it MANY a Time:(

Heed cutie Pie's advice. The bobbin thread is the key to removing the stitches. I clip the bobbin thread with very tiny sharp scissors or seam ripper, but prefer the scissors, patience is the key to it all. Believe me I have covered up many a hole'till I learned this. Good luck *4U

You have ood answers but wanted to wish you luck and patience Also a flower for you

I am so sorry your having to redo something. take it slow and work from the back of the item. If you feel like your losing the war. STOP for awhile and come back to the task. It helps me to have my favorite music playing.
Good Luck,

I feel your pain. I have caused many holes even trying to be so very careful.

Lots of good advice here. I have one of those titch erasers that helps but you still need the tweezers and scissors and patience... Good luck.

I personally haven't use the thread shaver (they're pretty expensive I believe), but have seen it done at my dealer's shop... Personally, I end up ripping it out manually... what a big bummer, huh! Don't you just hate that when it happens... oy vey!

Hopefully you got it out!

I too am in the same boat. I did the same thing about a month ago on a tablecloth I was making. So I threw it aside and decided I would deal with it after the new year.So I am glad you asked the question as it gave me some ideas also. Thanks to all the cuties for their help. and good luck to you adelmarie. Let me know how it works out for you. *4u

No words of wisdom as I usually get a hole as my eyes don't see good enough and I end up getting the shirt.I hope you can save it,here's a flower 4 u Good luck!

I hope you got it out by now, Adelmarie! Personally, for mistakes like that, I just start over. I don't do work for other people, though, just for me, so it's not like I can't just get another t-shirt, towel, etc. But, being somewhat compulsive, and a quilter, I do tend to measure and fool around forever before I start to sew. Seems like time wasted sometimes, but I'm too old to see those little stitches to clip out, hee hee hee. I'd use CutiePie's razor idea, but I'm not allowed to have sharp objects, giggle, tee heee. Best of luck, Marji

I read and have not a clue ;) *2U

The fuzzy sweater shaver has not worked for me - just ripper and tweezers. I've also been told an electric razor works - but did not for me. Good luck with the patience!

Try shaving the back of the design with a non-electric shaver like a gillette razor blade type shaver as in one of the disposable kind.
