be glad it was just a jacket and not a ring on a girl's finger, lol.
Good luck getting it off |
From the back, take a straight razor blade and cut the threads then turn over and use a tweezer to pull out the threads.

I have used Peggy's stitch eraser and didn't have much success unless it was just lettering. Best bet I agree rip the stitches on the back and then use tweezers to pull the stitches out on the front.

Let him do the job.

Anyway you look at it you are talking a major undertaking. Buy lots of packing size tape to pull the fuzzes and help you keep the thread explosion under control. Good Luck! I couldn't do it.. He should sell it to someone who still works there and buy himself a brand spankin' new one. ;-) |
Takes a lot of patience, HOURS and HOURS of time, a good light and a magnifying glass. Tiny sharp scissors or a razor-type seam ripper will work. As stated above, cut bobbin thread, then pull emb thread from front.
Jacket better be worth all the effort. |
