Brilliant Idea!! Chances are you are going to end up with holes if you try to rip the machine embroidery.
I've had this happen to me with machine embroidery but never after so far in the process. So I always do the fabric tack down stitch (the one before the satin stitch just before you trim the fabric) three times, then trim and proceed. Just makes me feel safer. Good luck...I think the bonnet is a great idea.
