Thanks to all of you who read and commented on my post FMQers...Don't Do This! I am happy to say that I finally got all of those itty bitty stitches out WITHOUT putting a hole into the backing which would have really added insult to injury. My thanks for all of the suggestions about "unstitching." I think I used them all. Because of arthritic fingers I had to work in small spurts, but got 'er done last night. I certainly did use the suggestions about pinning or basting the backing and batting before requilting that area. I am now moving on to binding. Give me a couple of days and I'll happily post the finished project in the "Pictures" section. So glad to be able say this! Thanks to all.

I spent several hours on Monday picking out stitches, not for the same reason, but for one that I could have totally avoided if I had been thinking. Glad your project was saved.
