That just happened to me. My thread kept breaking and I kept restarting. I got the body of the quilt quilted and then decided to just STID on this one. So....it took 3 days on and off taking the stitches out. There is little bits of thread all over my house as I dragged this quilt all over the place taking out stitches here and there. I'll wash it to see if I can get rid of the million little holes that are left. I feel your pain.
