Zede and Mallory share their top tips for stitch editing (yes, we like to be fancy and call seam ripping that). When taking lock stitches (regular sewing machine stitches) out of woven or knit fabrics always pull the bobbin thread. They both agree snipping the thread every few inches and stitching with the longest stitch length possible for your project and desired effect (even if that means only going to a 3 mm) will be a big help if you need to do some stitch editing. They are also huge advocates for using a slightly different colored bobbin thread than your fabric and top thread. This will make it easier to differentiate which is the bobbin thread.
Overlock (serger) stitching is a little different. They again highly suggest thread blending. This time you will be pulling the needle threads. If done correctly the looper threads will just fall away from your fabric edge.
To remove satin type stitches like buttonholes and embroidery you will want to gently shave the back of the stitches with a razor or specialty tool. They urge you to keep the stabilizer on the fabric and to NOT unhoop your embroidery project. Once you remove the stitching you will be all set to restitch.
Do you have another way you like to remove stitching? We’d love to here about it.
