Took Stitches Out/Holes in Fabric
These are machine quilting stitches that did not turn out as I wanted. There are a lot of them and they are close together. I tried the fingernail trick, and it is not really working.
This is a small wall hanging and will not be washed. Is there another thing that I could try?

Mix a little white vinegar or just warm water and you can use a small brush. Spritz the area then lightly go over it with the brush. Do this on the wrong side. You can also use another piece of light cloth. I keep a makeup brush around for these situations. It's in my tool stash.

You might try misting them. I do this on a quilt when I have to rip out the quilting stitches and move them to another area. The quilt will eventually get washed so I know the holes with shrink but if I'm doing someone else's quilt I'd rather they didn't know I had to move the pattern. This has worked great for me. I also mist when I need to shrink fullness out of an area while its on the frame.
