Default Rusted safety pins stuck in a UFO

I didn't even think about pins rusting and sticking to the fabric when I put away some UFO's several years ago. I Googled and found all kinds of ways to get the rust out after the pins were removed, but what can I do to get the pins out without tearing up the fabric. They are really stuck good. One of the pieces is part of an elaborate machine embroidered project.

All ideas are welcome...or websites... I've thought about putting some of the rust removal product on the stuck pin and see if will break down the rust molecules. Is that what you would do?

Note to self: Buy some brass pins and throw away those silver metal safety pins or remember to take them out if you are going to store a partially finished project.
