Good news my machine is sewing beautifully again

Bad news I sewed out design for a custom Baby birth keepsake and stitched out all the details to find the very last word details have definitely stitched out slightly slanted
is this likely to be my hooping? I will now have to re do the whole design unless some one can tell me how to undo the stitches with out doing damage so I can re sew the wording

I use my tiniest scissors ( use cuticle scissors that have a little curve to them) and cut the bobbin thread on the back. Then use tweezers to pull the threads out from the front.

Also, lots of Cuties use a Wahl beard trimmer. All brands calls it a stitch remover but I'm pretty sure you can get the trimmers from any of the Big Box Stores.

I bought a Wahl trimmer at Walmart for $12 and it works perfectly

I saw on Youtube: Peggy stitch eraser, it was not possible to add the link. But perhaps you can find it. It's an eraser used at the back of the design to cut the bobbin thread, and you are able to remove the rest on the frontside. Hope it works for you

Around $60 -80 US and you need to practice with it first to get good at it. I burned/cut right through my material first try and it is sitting in the drawer waiting for me to get up the nerve to try again.

Think I will just make sure I use my tape measure and re sew my design sounds cheaper in the long run
