You can’t that I have figured out to take quilting threads out from the top or bottom, you would have to open the sandwich up and open the batting and backing to expose the seam and work at it that way. Only saying that’s the only way I can see to do it...I haven’t tried that yet. I think someone described that method of ripping seams as “Skining”. LOL. I had to remove seams on a small whole cloth and used her method with a regular seam ripper and it was much faster. I could also get at those tight or stitched lines I had backtracked on. Maybe worth a try to speed up the dreaded ripping.
