I've recently been talking about the best way to remove lines of stitching, a.k.a. stitch ripping. The “ripping” part of that phrase always sets my teeth on edge. I envision fabric being ripped, and that awful sound that accompanies it! Ack! Of course, stitch ripping thankfully doesn't actually involve ripping fabric–as long as you're doing it right!–but it will unavoidably leave holes in your fabric where your stitches were. With this guide, How to Remove Stitch Marks From Fabric, you will learn how to get rid of those little suckers when simple pressing just doesn't cut the mustard. Of all the sewing tips and tricks I know, this is one of the favorites. Although you can remove stitches without a seam ripper, this tutorial uses the popular and common sewing kit tool and shows you how to avoid such big holes with a few tricks you may not know. Read through to learn the best way to remove sewing stitch marks using this tool correctly (and other items you already have to help). Sign Up For More Free Patterns and Tutorials >>>
