I use tweezers to grab the little threads with, it's easier on my hands. I do like the tape suggestion though (why didn't I think of that??!) and will try that next time, God forbid there be a next time!!

Masking tape or tweezers do work beautifully .... I'm a pro!

7 minutes of FMQ "thread painting". HOURS to pick them out.

Tell me ... will the former needle holes ever disappear?

ouch!!! How about an applique to cover the not so pretty stuff? :roll: I had heard that vinegar water dabbed on the area helps to make the holes disappear.
