Sally, that's awesome! Would work perfectly for me to sweep them under the black fabric and then SID along the joining seam!! Probably need to cancel an order now!

when I worked I had a little tool that slipped through a sweater to grab & pull through snags so they could be tied off, don't know where it is but you could probably look on line for one. Think I bought mine at Joann's. Think it could work for pulling out bothersome theads, it was much smaller than the smallest crochet hook.

After pressing, I trim/gently pull off those little seam threads that are going to detach anyway when the "block" or partial block is a six inches or so square/rectangle. Rarely do I have to do it again as I treat my work with gentle hands.
Why? I had a tiny ~less than .25 inch~ thread from a "ravelly" fabric detach itself and get under the bobbin holder where it caused havoc with my machine. I was about to take the machine to be serviced when I did one last cleaning and found it.
