Lotsapies, To answer the question......yes, you can take all the quilting out if you want to...it's a lot of work though. I have done this before, working from the BACK of the quilt. You are less likely to cut the quilt top if you are working from the back. You would have the batting between you and the back to help protect the quilt top. I use my rotary cutter.....VERY carefully. And you will definately need a NEW backing.
You also have the possibility of finding there are holes in your quilt top because of the quilting. If the quilter quilted several layers over one spot, this could be a problem when taken apart.
You have to decide if all the work and the possibility of holes in the quilt top is worth possible patching and requilting.
