It's going to be hung, so I think the loops that are on the back are just going to stay there, and the ones on the front I'll just pull out in the back. It's invisible thread, so it's not THAT obvious, just on the border in a couple of places. It's not like the quilt is full of them either, just a few here and there. I just hate it when that happens and then you find them at the very end *sigh* I need a quilting frame.
