This is how I frog seams that are wrong. Just be sure to get all those little pieces of thread off your fabric before you re-sew your pieces together...they are the pits to try to get out when the quilt is being LA quilted and if they are left, they just look icky!
BTW, a good sticky lint roller does wonders in removing tiny bits of thread. Well worth a roll or two up and down the seam. You'll have a few stragglers (i can say it but not spell it) but that's a darned sight better than a whole seam of thread bits.
