The eraser is a bit out of my price range so I will stick with the seam ripper and mag glass.
33579I have the eraser. Yes it is easier to get it out but it still takes some time and patience with it too. It depends on how big the design is too. Good luck I feel your pain. Suzanne
111114That's the kind of occasion when you wish you had lots of stabiliser under the design. Best of luck getting it all off without damaging the shirt.
23163I do think the peggy's stitch eraser is good investment. I did not have one for a long time so I used to use a disposable razor and a seem ripper and tweezers. The stitch eraser is heaps faster. I have a blog post on how I used to do it with the razor, if that is any help.

19430If you have a problem, remove as much as you can and then stitch & place a patch over where the design was. Then the shirt is not wasted. Helen
39739I've used my serger knife to remove stitches from the back before. Good luck. Give the stitch eraser a try first or the serger knife. What do you have to lose at this point.
23222I find if there is a stabilizer on the back I just use a disposable razor and save .
33350I have it, and I like it it works better than a regular trimmer, how long it takes that depends on the project and the stitch density.
26714Good luck with it. Sometimes even after you manage to pick it out, the item still needs to be replaced because of holes and such, so save some time and frustration and go buy a new shirt.!
5046I don't have a stitch eraser, I normally use a seam ripper and tweezers. I have a nice ripper that really allows me to cut several stitches at one time and use it when I have such bad mistakes.
44813There is a product call The Peanut and it works very well. It actually reminds me of a small version of a hair clipper. Check on the internet - just type in The Peanut and it will show you how it works (you actually work on the wrong side of the embroidery pattern). Best of luck - Mary :)
580I use seam ripper and I use it on the backside so I can slip the point between the thread and the stabilizer. That seems to save the fabric.
3435How awful!
I am afraid I am not very good at undoing designs. I cheat and go out and buy a new shirt!
57492Boy, don't you hate when that happens-been there too. I also use a seam ripper and magnifying glass-ole eyes get buggy trying to find some of those tiny stitches. I also went out and bought myself a mini Wahl trimmer- the kind men use for their beards & mustaches-@ Walmart-works pretty good and doesn't tear the material~linda~
Good luck and happy stitch pickin'
20173I have been there and done that. I use a seam reaper and a good magnifying glass. I works for me everytime. Not that I had many, HEHEHE. But enough. Hugs Lynn
51302I don't have a "Stitch eraser", but I find that I am quicker and more effective with at seam ripper. ;)
