Don't rip out the stitching! Cut the green as close as possible to the stitching and with your seam ripper or a long pin, shred the green fabric and remove it. It works. I have to do it a lot!!!

Been there, done that. The other thing I have done that maddens me is to cut a piece out and get it "just right" and then it shows up on the mat under a piece of material unbeknownst to me. Find it later perfectly sliced in two. Grrrrr... Glad to know I am not the only one. Hopefully, it will sweeten the rip time if you decide to do that.

I think all of us have been there. I've taken to clearing my whole work area and a quick dust just before I start. Those few seconds probably saved me many hours of FROGGING. Ha Ha!
