How to Remove Difficult Stitching

To remove dense embroidery or buttonhole stitching that you can’t seem to get under
with the tip of your seam ripper, try this technique:

Using good lighting, slide a straight pin underneath the stitching. Then use the tip of a
razor blade to carefully cut through the stitching across the top of the pin. The straight
pin not only lifts the threads for you, but provides a barrier to keep you from accidentally
cutting into your fabric.
