Appliqué in this case not an option. I hope you can figure out a way. Let us know how it works out

Were you able to get the stitches out or have you decided to do something else?
|
I would be interested in what you decided to do. where is the embroidery on the quilt, corner, middle?
|
I agree that an applique patch would be the best bet. I have torn out to many embroidered designs. Lettering is hard to do as mentioned without tearing fabric. I would still take as much out before putting on an appliqued patch because you do not want anything to show through the new label .

The gadget that Gay mentioned is almost 1/2 the price on Amazon, of the one on the site mentioned (https://www.echidnasewing.com.au/peg...0volt-cordless). And it's the same little gadget.

Through Google other vendors have it less expensive, too |
It's basically a mustache trimmer, and they can be bought very affordably. I have one and wasn't as impressed as I hoped to be. Did not work on a satin stitch at all, but did nicely on a straight stitch. I had about 15 yards of ribbon I'd satin stitched to 12 shirts - and put on the wrong color so it all had to come off and be replaced.

I use a cheap BIC razor. Go slow and be careful. A swipe or two might just do the job. Once the threads have been cut with the razor you can finish the job with a seam ripper and stiletto. I hope it's not too late.

Make a cute label and sew it over the offending label. Done.
