It looks like a trimmer but the blades are different

The stitch eraser works great, if you're in a rush the seam ripper used where you can easily get under the stitches is good too. It's best to cut on the back, but if you are only removing part of an embroidery you may need to do some work on the top as well due to overlap. You wouldn't want to cut the wrong bobbin threads and remove the wrong top color.

There is a thing called "peggy's stitch eraser" which is basically a wahl mustache trimmer. I owned a commercial embroidery business for 15 years and this was the best inventment I ever made. Using a seam ripper you run the risk of cutting the garment, I had a girl that used a razer blade - she knew how to use it but at times she put a hole in things also. You can also go on the back side of the embroidery and clip the bobbin thread and pull it out then pull the front stitches out.
