Seam ripping is one thing. Picking out quilted stitches is a whole new torture.
7 minutes of FMQ "thread painting". HOURS to pick them out.
Tell me ... will the former needle holes ever disappear?

Sometimes on batiks the holes do not dissappear , depends on the size needle used. Batiks are very tightly woven and a big needle will perforate the fabric weaving threads....... ask me how I found this out....... sent a quilt for LA ... she must have had issues and took out a bunch of stiches..... many washes later I can still see the original stiching holes.
