How to remove embroidery on a budget

[@kadystyles3464]

Thank you so much! I am a seventh grader and my teacher asked me for some cash to help him remove stitching from his FFA jackets and each jacket would be $20. He asked me before and I’ve had to plug it by hand but it was totally worth 20 but just yesterday he asked me to do three jackets for $60 so this is a lifesaver.

[@AStitchinTimeEmbroideryDesigns]

that is awesome!!

My mom said this is all I needed but never showed me. Thank you for the hands on simple to do. Using this method I was able to remove the logos from expensive company wear that I’ve purchased that I was fired from and will be getting replacement Embroidery for my self-employed repair business. Thank you ma’am!

[@ginathomas9259]

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! My hands are aching from spending the past 4 hours removing 3 - 2" letters using a seam ripper stitch by stitch by stitch.... FINALLY I decided there MUST BE AN EASIER WAY!!!!!!!! 😩😩😩😩YOUR VIDEO CAME UP AS A 2ND OPTION ON KZbin!!!!!! YOU SHOULD BE 1st 🏆🏆🏆! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!!!!! I have 7 letters left but I was able to remove 1 of them in less than 20 SECONDS with your instructions!!! TRULY GENIUS!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH (from me and my aching hands)!!!!!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@AStitchinTimeEmbroideryDesigns]

Awe you are so sweet! Glad it worked for you

[@marcocesarcamposnaya8205]

Rhonda, that last sentence "you can move on with your life" describe us very well when we get into this trouble. That was very hilarious 😂. Thank you so much for the tip.

[@AStitchinTimeEmbroideryDesigns]

Lol! That is how I feel everytime. Haha

[@Marishascakes]

Wonderful! I have all of these beautiful chef coats but they're embroidered with my old companies name. What a lifesaver!

[@JohnBarrow1961]

I just tried this on one of my baseball caps. Anyone who owns New Era caps knows that they embroider their company logo on the left side of the cap, which ruins the aesthetics of the cap. Everybody on the planet knows that New Era has been making Major League caps for decades, but still they put it on there. Using this method, I just removed that logo in less than 10 minutes, and it was easy. Normally it takes me close to an hour of picking at and cutting the threads, which is a pain in the butt. This method is also less obtrusive to the material on the outside of the cap. And I did this with a swivel head razor. I imagine one of the cheap, fixed head razors would work that much better. That and a pair of tweezers is all you need! Great technique, Rhonda!

And the seam ripper

[@kimberlyhiggins8005]

This works great. You saved me so much time. Bought a bag from the thrift store and was able to remove the name so easily. Now I have a thirty-one overnight bag for five bucks😊

Wow! Thank You for posting this Fix. I have purchased embroidered William Sonoma kid aprons and the stitching is too tight to easily remove, now I can. I'm looking at high end backpacks that are embroidered and deeply discounted. Now I know what to do!

[@valeriewelch948]

This worked very well! I was looking for reviews of the electric stitch removers and came across this video. Not buying an electric version now! It probably took me 10 to15 minutes to remove a company name off of a cotton/poly shirt. The more intricate part was under the satin stitching - tiny straight stitches that I used a sharp pair of tweezers to remove. Thanks!

[@0ArmoredSoul0]

I've heard of this method, but never tried it myself due to not having seen it successfully pulled off. Seeing it now, how quickly the stitches were loosened and how easily everything started to come out- OH. The PROJECTS I can finally get underway that I put on hold due to frustration! Thank you so much! :D

[@dmarie3194]

I have some really nice jackets from my work but hated having their name on it. I thought it would cost a lot to have someone do it for me and then I found this video! What a lifesaver, I thought for sure I might ruin the jackets but this gave me the confidence to try it out. Worked out great, thank you so much!

[@AStitchinTimeEmbroideryDesigns]

This was exactly what I needed. My daughter is sewing in home ec and made a mistake. I had no kind of tool whatsoever. Your video was a lifesaver and saved a 30 minute drive to Walmart. Thank you

Thanks so much for the insight into how to remove incorrect stitching. I was able to to remove the entire name without any damage to my shirt! Thanks!!!

[@sexyalexy58]

Thank you! It works 👍 I bought a gift for my daughter, had it embroidered with the wrong thing and now can have it redone. Loved your video. Precise and to the point! Thumbs waaayyyyyy up👏👏👏

[@sinshooup]

Thank you so much for this video Rhonda! I had a blue oxford shirt for an upcoming modeling shoot w/embroidery. I must have spent two days with a rip/pic tool trying to get those tiny stitches out. I was about to purchase another blouse until discovering experts like you on KZbin. Boy I'm glad I found your video just in time, a few days before the shoot. Thanks for the solution to what had been a very tedious problem.
