Another easy way to rip is to skin the quilt. Lift the backing fabric as far as it will go and use the ripper that looks like a curved razor blade to skin the quilt. It's fast.

I was thinking skinning would work as well. I think to put it on a table/bed with weights on it, then start to skin it, the top layer would give something to 'pull' and help the process. I use the curved blade or my tiny rotary cutter to pop threads from the inside next to the batting. I bought a comforter at GW and took it apart easily, ended up with 2 quilt backs*Ü*
Pace yourself and it will be undone in no time.

We had a PICKING PARTY. The quilt was a terrible mess from a "professional" long arm quilter and it needed to be undone. 6 of us got together at a big table with seam rippers in hand. What started out as an awful mess ended up being a time of sharing and great fun. We still talk about it occasionally, with hopes we never have to do that again.

I am very new to quilting, in fact, just starting sorry if this sounds dumb, but what is UFO? I don't know any of the quilt "language" yet
